but hey it's a suit to the flown away tears from an old terrorist which is going to. thank you very much from tapachula john holliman bringing us the latest on that story and there is much more to come for you on the program well looking at why even posting a blank sheet of paper is getting activists into trouble and of kazakhstan's election on sunday dr 180 years of waiting greece's muslims finally get somewhere to pray in the middle of a naval base. hello there things are pretty wet and windy for us in australia at the moment all thanks to this weather system here that were to some strong winds and some heavy rain including force in perth where we saw around 30 millimeters of rain more than we saw in the entirety of may that system is working its way eastwards it is

disintegrating as it does say but there is yet more wet weather following it so the looking rather unsettled here as we head through the next few days i think for sunday some of the wettest of the weather will be around the south coast of western australia but we'll also see some of that make it through south australia as well so it took temperature in adelaide just of 16 degrees further east it should be brought a force here brisbane up at $22.00 and townsville at $24.00 over towards new zealand certainly being stormy here over the past few days we've got a southwesterly flow with us at the moment so that means it's pretty windy and we're also seeing plenty of showers in the windy weather as well say more showery weather is likely as we head through the day on saturday but it does try to calm down as we head into sunday because that little area of high pressure begins to build so it looks like the showers will become a distant memory further towards the north we've seen some heavy rain over japan but that clearing away the worst of it at least just a few showers behind. bomb

a national security emergency last month and a willing him to bypass congress to sell billions and arms to saudi arabia and the . well in all the developments the u.s. is raising the stakes in its standoff with turkey and chris plans to purchase russian air defenses the 2 nato allies of sparred for months over turkey's order of russia's s. 400 defense system washington will reportedly give and parental the 31st of july to backtrack on the deal if not it will start taking steps to remove turkey from the f. $35.00 fighter jet program let's get more now from rob reynolds in washington tell us more about what has caused this dispute and the seriousness of it. well as you say the basic problem is that turkey wants to buy this anti aircraft system called the s 400 from russia it is also in the process of buying about 100 of the sophisticated f. 35 fighter jets from the u.s. and the u.s.

says well turkey just can't have both at the same time and this has been festering for a while but now it seems to be coming to a head this letter from the u.s. acting defense secretary patrick shanahan was released to the press in it he's pretty blunt in his language to the turkish defense minister saying while we seek to maintain our valued relationship turkey will not receive the f. $35.00 if turkey takes delivery of the f. $400.00 the u.s. would like to buy the patriot system which is made in the us by the raytheon defense contracting company instead of the russian system. u.s. says that buying the russian aircraft system will increase turkey's strategic dependence upon moscow as well as hindering its relations or at its ability to cooperate and enhanced its cooperation within nato nato

but. the president of turkey airtel want says it's really out of the question for anyone to consider that turkey would back out of its deal with russia so this is just another one of the. several issues between washington and ankara that include some tariffs on turkish steel that president trump imposed last year the continued. anger by erda one over the united states refusal to extradite for to look good on the muslim cleric who lives in the u.s. and who are one. believes was behind a failed coup attempt against him in 26 team as well as disagreements over the future of syria and the role of the kurdish fighters there so the relationship to say the least is not going that swimmingly between the 2 countries

doesn't bode well for the future does it thank you very much rob reynolds in washington now the u.s. says it will lodge a formal diplomatic protest with russia over a near miss between 2 of that washington the east china sea ice countries are accusing each other of unsafe actions after the ships came within 50 meters of crashing the 2 vessels that had to take evasive action to avoid a collision which military officials say puts sailors lives in danger. russia's president has had strong words for united states saying that aggressive protectionism is a recipe for conflict he was speaking at the economic forum taking place in petersburg assume a person accuse the u.s. of unbridled economic ego as an island flanked by the chinese president xi jinping it also condemned u.s. measures against the tech giant huawei from the city of some pages austin has. to be a put into words 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 worlds largest economies is at a low put 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 an end 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 their economies try not in russia are far apart but they're troubled relationship with the united states and their common positions on international crisis like britain is a way north korea and iran have created a strong bond 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 kawhi 4 months ago calvi has worked in russia for more than 2 decades and is facing fraud. arduous recess are fabricated l.v. who is under house arrest had requested to attend the forward but even an endorsement from the kremlin did not help at the russian american business meeting his chair remained empty michael killed the very long standing. person investor with a very good reputation in russia when that happened to him everybody thought recovering to him

a good happened to anybody and that has an impact on investment this isn't of course foreign and russian business people called for legal reforms during the forum but reform was not on the menu while buton was hosting chief 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 late to apologize for keeping the chinese leader a week away pastas bad time because they had so much to talk about step process and al-jazeera so in petersburg. now russian state t.v. is making its own drama series about the $986.00 disaster this follows national fieri of the success of the u.s. adaptation which is transfixed viewers around the world russia's version will claim that a cia spy was present for the west nuclear accident in history is being filmed in belarus and will depicts a more patriotic soviet retelling of the story. now to kazakhstan voters there go

to the polls on sunday to choose a new president for the 1st time in almost 30 years but the result appears to be a foregone conclusion the interim president has been handpicked by the nation's outgoing leader is massively ahead in the polls bus as robin forestay walker reports from the former capital lotty a growing use movement is risking arrest to call for change. old men have been running kazakstan for years and people here are now being asked to vote for another one but younger kazakhs are getting other ideas elsewhere. this post went viral exposing the absurdity of a political system where even a blank ballot lands you in trouble and i need to know now yesterday again if that's what you activism has grown rapidly since president nursultan nazarbayev resigned in march after 30 years. there tony. and the website

to run his chosen successor. is expected to win on sunday in what many say is a managed election. but some activists are calling on voters to boycott the poll saying it won't change anything this election 1st meeting with this system is weak because one person can decide for my whole continent what we're trying to do now is convince enough people to the city council i mean them more people will speak out thomas the train their people will be ready maybe they call themselves in kazakh meaning wake up a new civic movement demanding democratic freedom but taking a long view how. this works out given the combined table and the action that will bring real change here. at the 1st stage just to make sure

that everyone in this country clearly understand what kind of step should be taken to change the political system and what kind of political system should be in this country to tackle the problems of the current authoritarian regime was young activists have been arrested and jailed but it's helped raise their profile and their social media posts are attracting thousands of followers responding my stuff that's mine yes that is the smallest of anything somebody place at all just by there is a network of supporters but that support exists largely in cyberspace and not yet in large numbers on the streets. this symbolic run towards truth was organized and supported online but only a few jokers to parts. so here we are that after the election your thirty's we tried to crush this movement list the youth that outpaced the in the pursuit change

reverse steelworker 00 betty. well now thousands of people have been protesting against the president in liberia's capital as he struggles to revive a sinking economy organizers say georgia where a football a town politician has failed to improve the lives of liberians came to power 18 months ago campaigning on promises to create jobs and fight corruption critics accuse the president of ignoring the plight of the poll saying rising prices remain a major source of discontent the government has blocked access to social media saying it's to maintain public safety. now 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 they're accusing president roger go to territory of inciting violence against drug dealers as well as intimidating judges and degrading women human rights watch estimates that at least 12000 filipinos have been killed since to taze campaign began in 2016

afghans has integrated its 1st official mosque the greek capital hasn't had a recognized place of worship for muslims for more than 180 is likely to begin operating in september 3 years after construction was 1st approved by parliament well than 200000 muslims live in athens many of them refugees from syria and afghanistan the us has mall. the education minister's arrival to open the athens mosque is a moment a quarter of a century in the making and we are trying to have our soul named many years some in about 25 years we had many. even try to convince the army and we saw much meetings for much trying pretty hard and you tried to convince can win and win and 10 god we are now is. mission is complete muslim immigrants have gradually acquired official community organizations green cards and even citizenship but

their religion has been kept quiet by opening this mosque weeks before a general election the city's a government is actively courting the muslim vote yet the plan and. athens now has a dignified place of worship for muslims whether they are citizens or migrants refugees or visitors the right to pray to the god you believe in like the right of a child to go to school does not depend on the circumstances under which someone arrived here everyone has these rights they are non-negotiable human rights. the dignity of the athens mosque is a far cry from what muslims have been used to makeshift places of worship in basements like this one which filled the overcrowding cities and is careful to maintain that low profile here there are no loudspeakers to call the faithful to prayer and no minarets to form landmarks the building barely resembles a religious structure and the compound itself is part of a navy facility surrounded by a high wall and barbed wire and with

a round the clock police good citizen understands that although greeks agree to a mosque in principle there are also sensitivities greeks remember that the ottoman empire ruled greece for 4 centuries until the early 18th hundreds the saudi government offered to build a huge cultural center and mosque in 2001 and libya's moammar gadhafi made a similar offer a few years later but both sank under popular disapprove. will and pressure from the church and local government then in 2006 parliament decided that the athens mosque would be built at public expense and 13 years later it is ready the mosque isn't big enough to absorb all of these underground worshipers and such unofficial places of prayer they will continue but it's a 1st step towards religious acceptance in this overwhelmingly orthodox christian society jobs are open to us al-jazeera films. and the u.s. space agency nasa says it's opening up the international space station for business

with the 1st paying visitors potentially going there is an early as next year but holidaying in space comes with a suitably astronomical price tag the roundtrip ticket will cost $58000000.00 with accommodation on the space station a relatively reasonable $35000.00 a night on top of that as many as a dozen private astronauts could visit every year for stays of up to 30 days or it could be said to lack the atmosphere of other leading holiday resorts interesting but expensive. but look at the top stories this hour now sudan's opposition is accepted ethiopia's prime minister as a mediator to try to end the political crisis after a deadly military crackdown on protesters this week that has helped force with the ruling military gentle and pro-democracy leaders in hard to and meanwhile the u.n. is calling for the urgent deployment of a monitoring team to sudan. to form

a government gets a u.n. human rights monitoring team into the country as quickly as possible. but what i think you know the thing is rainier in the rapids of course. immediately is this group has a very very checkered history. has been the center of the violence. the u.n. says at least 4000000 people have now fled venezuela because of the western economic and political situation all but 700000 of them have left since the end of 2015 un agencies say the figure is alarming and they're calling for immediate help from other countries to host the displaced especially in latin america. u.s. president donald trump says there's a good chance a trade deal with mexico will be reached after talks wrapped up the day in washington the white house has threatened to impose

a 5 percent tariff on all mexican goods from monday and it says that could increase each month until october if mexico doesn't stem the flow of migrants across the border the united states is raising the stakes in its standoff with turkey over their plans to purchase russian air defenses the reportedly give turkey until the end of july to backtrack on the deal for the russian s 400 missile defense system if not the u.s. is trying to stop the sale of f. 35 fighter jets thousands of people have been protesting against the president in liberia's capital as he struggles to revive the economy organizers are saying george weah a football attend politician has failed to improve the lives of liberians he came to power 18 months ago campaigning on promises to create jobs and to fight corruption or counting the cost is coming up next but of course everything

it doesn't that's terrorists from mexico as well or the move has rattled global markets the problem. the trump is he keeps saying other countries are paying the tariffs they're not us importers are and at some point consumers will pick up the tab and mexico is the united states biggest trading partner exporting 340 $7000000000.00 to the united states in 2018 to 25 percent tariff would cost about $86000000000.00 a year with many u.s. and international carmakers located south of the us border the auto industry will be the hardest hit deutsche bank estimates vehicle prices could rise on average $1300.00 if tariffs hit 25 percent it would also add $28000000000.00 dollars busy a year to the cost of completed vehicles and parts according to the u.s. census bureau the value of cars buses and trucks imported from mexico totaled

$68000000000.00 in 2018 wall trump wants automakers to move back to the u.s. which is highly unlikely this could have a devastating impact in mexico where 839571 people are employed in the car industry. now an unintended consequence could be more migrants crossing the border as unemployment rises in mexico and what does it mean for jobs in the united states well according to the economic consultancy perrie main group more than 400000 jobs could be lost if the u.s. imposes the 5 percent levy the net loss to the economy could be $41000000000.00 and the state that's most dependent on mexico is texas it stands to lose more than $100000.00 jobs and $7000000000.00 in income now if trump's trade war with china is anything to go by the damage to the economy has already been done the president has

signed a $16000000000.00 bailout for farmers we have 2 reports for you this week in a few moments john hendren reports from colfax illinois deep in trunk country to find out whether the president still has the support of farmers but 1st as mexico steps up security to stop the flow of immigrants on its southern border with guatemala david mercer went to pot i hate layon to look at how climate change is forcing people to look for opportunities in the united states. on this dusty hillside in guatemala's western highlands francisco lay on soft 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 input on 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 rained 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 crop damage and frosts are more common and when it does rain it often pours for days washing the topsoil away what a 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 his uncles to the united states the 18 year old says that there is no future for young people in his village the only people he sees getting ahead have left to work abroad and send money back. i didn't. i want to make something out of my life to be able to follow my dreams i want to get a good education find a job and help my family here it's a struggle to save even a tiny bit of money as guatemala's dry cord or continues to expand more farming

families are set to struggle of all is one of the 10 countries in the world most impacted by climate change and while people leave the country for many different reasons at the root you often find climate change that makes adapting to and mitigating the changing weather patterns a priority. knows how far a little help can go he built this drip irrigation system as part of a u.s. funded project focused on crop that versification water and soil conservation and reforestation the goal to create a stable income from agriculture. then we have the desire of the will but we don't have as the capital but the assistance from us 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 has threatened to 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 for counting the cost but a hell a on guatemala. as the u.s. administration plows ahead in its trade war with china american farmers say they're getting crushed between the world's 2 largest economies we grew 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 ending stockpile that 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 trump 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 own 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 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 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 tariffs 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 those laboring behind america's plows seem willing to wait a little longer. for the e.u. has the threat of tears hanging over it and it is under pressure to block china's swallowing so who better to turn to for his thoughts on this than luigi gambardella he is the president of the business lobby china e.u. thanks for being with us now is someone who has the ear of business leaders in both china and the european union what do you make of trump strategy of terrorists 1st negotiate 2nd i think there are 22 major risks. today the 1st

is that certain thing that is creating i always say uncertainty can't get an elephant uncertainty is very bad for business and 2nd. aspect that the would like to underline is the fact that. it will always be good to keep the difference between when is business and when it's politics and when we there is a beast that we mix up business or politics in a grey area this is something that. can be very dangerous because then there is a less again a certainty there are 2 important things for europe 1st of all to defend the multilaterally as we believe in what you're out there is and 2nd that we believe in global standards and global regulation. and for us. for european business these are 2 very important points. and

the truth be defended another big issue for the u.s. of course is the chinese tech giant walk away do you think european companies can benefit from waistband let's go beyond the world. where they were always just only the tip of the iceberg i were just all natural numbers. which has been recently published research and development investment in china reached 1.76 trillion regime is the 2nd spending in the word the number of patents reached in china 138200000 patents ranking number one in the world what i want to say that i think that these

a debate. is beyond the one single company. china. 6 months ago few months ago already started the research for 60 saw we are in front of us. a big challenge and we have to understand what the matter today is less trade and more technology and here i say i like to say that the new land is the konar logy so what can the e.u. and china do collectively could they could they use an alternative currency to the dollar to trade for example to to get around the sanctions in the tariffs. no i think of that from my point of isla 1st of all you know that. the economy and then the star system of europe and china are very complex complimentary what is important today for europe

a partner to keep her. leadership and india in the global regulation which we know for many sectors is very important i think.
