yes was ready to sit down with drawn 0 store such a bari reports from the iranian capital well this movie is being called economic terrorism to the foreign ministry spokesman up us mousavi this is a continuation of the united states government's policy towards iran of putting pressure on the pressure on iran and the people of this country and the suggestion last week by officials in the united states that they were willing to talk with the iranians is not really a true one it's not they just not what they actually mean they're not true to their words that they cannot be trusted the iranian oil minister has also been speaking on saturday saying that iran has absolutely no plans to leave opec and the gap that's been created in the oil markets by iran not being able to sell all its oil on the international market can never actually be filled by any of the countries such as saudi arabia and the u.a.e. so he's also reiterating iran's position that all these sanctions they might put

some pressure on the country but nobody can actually replace what they're trying to do this is the news out from al-jazeera still to come on the program we'll have more on those u.s. sanctions on iran of the black gold that's keeping the country's economy going. saudi arabia faces global outrage after sentencing a teenager to death for attending antique of the protests plus. the biggest women sports event out of our way down the wire the women's world cup and the thought that while. sri lanka's intelligence chief has left his post after an emergency meeting on friday president by 3 part of sort of center said that he sacked. mendis after he'd appeared before a parliamentary committee investigating the april attacks on thursday mendez told the committee that the attacks could have been prevented he said the president should have held regular security meetings president sort of say that is refusing

to cooperate with the inquiry let's get more on this now from ashwin and at the comma who's a part of a correspondent for the daily financial times he joins us live via skype from colombo this apparent sucking of the chief of national intelligence is it all but it seems on the face of it. oh well yes mysticism and is laws in front of the select committee last week and he actually came out when suddenly information according to president bill is information could jeopardize the national security one of those issues which came up was that the presidency to say about has deliberately kept the prime minister and the minister of security statements of the past away from national security meetings and apart from that. the development of course the development has led c.

to say and. to be you know weak position i had of the presidential election according to analysts but the chief of staff national intelligence as it was only on a one year contract was and he's a retired police officer yeah absolutely right because this particular position was created for coordinating purposes because we have in sri lanka several agencies handling that state intelligence. because the military forces are there police divisions are there so he's positioned was created a mirror image of the coordination efforts so what does all of this mean for the president what is the president doing. actually the president of course had a urgent cabinet meeting yesterday friday and he of course told the minister that he's against the select committee and expose the meetings and he of course that the . matters which would be discussed at the select committee would harm the national

security and of those he went on to the extent of. putting his foot down and saying that he will. top the select committee from proceeding but however other ministers and airboat to. talk him out of that and of course president held that he would not allow. the police and the military officers currently serving to a pia in front of the select committee so these of course would create a lot often between the political parties and the people insured on top because everybody is looking forward to see. what went wrong and what lapsed the special security lapse says we should lead 2 days to sunday attacked the constitutionally who's in charge does the president have the power to interfere in the way that he's doing. according to the constitution of the 19th amendment of course is really a sudden falls off the executive president since for

a long car but operatically he ease using some of the back gates and to pressure people especially the ministers because he is the complete and also already appointing me. so he is trying his best to safeguard he's side of the story so this is quite alarming good story to so many thanks indeed for being with us ashwin had to come of the in colombo. amnesty international is saudi arabia as a rule out the death penalty for a teenage boy 18 year old. could a this has been detained for the past 5 years for taking part in antigovernment protests he's awaiting his next trial session for alleged offenses that date back to when he was just 10 years old will saudi arabia has a long record of imposing the death penalty clude ng against children which is illegal under international amnesty international says that $149.00 people were put to death in 2018 this year that figure is already more than $100.00 in april $37.00

mostly shia men were killed in a public execution on terrorism related charges both amnesty international and human rights watch oppose saudi arabia's use of the death penalty say that many confessions are extracted on the torture that speak to rodney dixon via skype from london he's an international human rights lawyer who last year presented the report to the un on saudi arabia's rights record let's stick for the moment this particular case of a teenage boy what do you make of it. it's quite shocking when you hear that these steps are being taken against a child especially when it also is that there has been a fair trial process and the boy is being detained for a long period of time and not being able to present a defense and also has been forced to confess and to torture that that's probably likely to be the only evidence that that is available so on all those

fronts it's erotic it's been international outrage over this particular case as we said in the instruction last year you presented a report to the united nations human rights council on saudi arabia's human rights record but what can anyone do about it busy. will report outlined a number of steps that could be taken to raise these matters would think the saudi government directly to suspend it membership of the human rights council if they didn't respond and it's up to the international community to implement these types of measures to make sure the abuses of stopped you would have still that in the wake of the horrific killing of democracy all g. and that the international community would have taken a certain line and that the saudi government would be embarrassed to continue with these kinds of actions but now today they are continuing because no one standing up

to them isn't going to make a blind bit of difference as you said jamal who. they appear to have got away with murder that surely process removing them from the human rights council is not going to matter one jot to the saudi arabians. well it would be a very good 1st step that you can sort of go to a council that's guaranteeing human rights when you have violated all the time of the new own borders but then of course the international community needs to go so that they can be allowed to get away with these things for there to be no investigation no accountability their whole raft of diplomatic and sanctions measures that could be used and it would certainly be imposed against many other countries and it shouldn't be an exception made in the case of saudi arabia and we would never allow that in our national systems and and why should that apply at the international level what sort of punishment due to any talk about accountability what sort of thing could the international community do to punish saudi arabia to hold it to account what it is evidence of losing both in these abuses so that they

could sit out there this is very mechanisms to investigate and prosecute these people they could also look at imposing iraq sanctions economic and otherwise in saudi arabia they've done it in relation to countries like russia when they reached international also has a lot in saudi arabia get away with it could still see so many thanks indeed what it takes there in london. one of the key figures in saudi arabia and syria as i'm sorry rebellion against president bashar al assad has died fighting government forces abbas absolute 1st rose to prominence as a football goalkeeper in homes and then as the so-called singer of the revolution he is reported to think killed while fighting in northern hama his father and 4 brothers have also died in the war. the u.s. treasury secretary is saying that a deal between washington and mexico on tariffs and immigration is very significant with an important outcome but just a day after the agreement migrants continue to make the journey between guatemala

and mexico the southern border mexico has deployed 6000 members of its national guard to the guatemalan border to try to stem the flow of migrants the white house suspended plans to impose tariffs on all mexican goods as possible of the deal rob reynolds reports now from washington. the u.s. threat to impose punitive tariffs on mexico led to a week of intense negotiations ending in a last minute accord president donald trump announced in a tweet the united states of america has reached its signed agreement with mexico the tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the u.s. on monday against mexico are hereby indefinitely suspended mexico in turn has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border this is being done to greatly reduce or eliminate illegal immigration coming from mexico and into the united states mexican foreign minister

marcello ever ard said the 2 sides reached a compromise almost but he said it was i think it's a fair balance because the us had more drastic proposals of the stock and we have reached a middle point that we agreed to support mexico's proposal to support the central american countries. mexico had already agreed to send troops to its border with what amala to control the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. it's now also agreed the u.s. could send asylum seekers who've entered the united states back to mexico to await legal rulings on their status but the us had to give up on its earlier demand that all guatemalan asylum seekers be deported to mexico and that honduran and salvadoran asylum seekers sent to guatemala the agreement also calls for the u.s. and mexico to work together to improve economic conditions and security in impoverished crime ridden central american countries the root causes of migration

the deal is a political victory for trump who has made stopping migration the central pillar of his political brand and who had faced opposition from within his party to the proposed tariffs rob reynolds al-jazeera washington. an increase in tariffs on mexican goods would have also hiked prices for american consumers the u.s. relies on mexico for cars technology and food. reports from sit out while as in mexico. one could argue sudan what is ground 0 for a trade war that's been brewing between the united states and mexico juarez lies just south of mexico's border with the u.s. and is one of mexico's most economically significant land ports what is also known for being the host city to hundreds of. factories that supply a wide range of manufactures in the united states i keep. those at

we are proud to say that anywhere in the world people own something manufacturing quantities refrigerator cellphones golf clubs you name it. 27 year old any handle is getting ready to head to his factory job he says he makes just over $2.00 an hour sometimes more if he works overtime it's this type of low cost labor that makes mexico so appealing to american companies when what is in it buy them when american or in the u.s. an american will be paid in dollars here in mexico that same dollars can pay $2.00 or 3 workers. ad there are an estimated 1000000 people employed by the thousands of mikey scattered in northern mexico u.s. president donald trump says mexico has taken away these jobs from americans suggesting the economic relationship between the 2 countries has become one sided many economists say this notion couldn't be farther from the truth so it's not a one sided economy mexico has become since march of this year the most important

provider of inputs to the u.s. for every 100 jobs that they do us creates in mexico 250 jobs created in the u.s. . based on the technology and the value added that the u.s. gives to what we produce in in in the region. an important footnote to this is that the united states also has an $81000000000.00 trade deficit with mexico this is perhaps one of the reasons why president trump has pursued such an aggressive and controversial trade policy still last year the u.s. imported $346000000000.00 worth of mexican goods despite continuous threats by president from to close the border or impose tariffs on mexican exports trade between the u.s. and mexico remains at an all time high and the evidence is here in the seemingly endless line of long haul trucks waiting to carry mexican exports into the united states. there's no expectation that the 1000000 manufacturing jobs like the 180

kelly handle has at the siemens factory are in danger of disappearing any time soon although there's also no guarantee they won't. see that. we're heading for the midway point on this news out it's got some weather meteorologist rob is here the still battling flooding in the u.s. yes you know it's the big plain states and down towards texas where we've had river flooding the rain is falling further east for the combinations but a pretty poor start to occur for a season and surprised me and there are more storms building in the great plains states now as you can see is coder's tuckey in across the mountains on that cold front which means all this is warm and humid and you have seen it doesn't really need to do this but with temperatures in excess of let's say 25 and a frontal system that's going to be stormy that's going to be significant rain because you drawing it wants from the gulf of mexico is rather quieter obviously

over the mountain states to the west of the plane so we will concentrate on this bottom right hand corner again part of the deep south and running up towards virginia and beyond this is the last 12 hours or so circulation doesn't look very much does it i've been looking at the rainfall reports on the ones i can see reliably are say from richmond virginia virginia down to columbia south carolina 50 to 110 minutes in the last 24 hours ok it doesn't seem very much seen reports about 10 times that much for i don't believe but this is the position for the next 3 days the green is forecast rain as you can see with circulation in the wind but that does mean for the next 2 or 3 days you've got a heart of another 120150 millimeters of rain still to come. yeah rob many thanks indeed still to come here on the news hour time's running out for palestinian journalist who's facing deportation from israel we'll tell you more put the rebels in yemen release a new video that claims to show an incursion into saudi arabia. and in sports for

developments which are taking place inside the saudi border was it real that. started a new techniques or new tactics which is taking over an advancing towards more military positions even so the saudi to retreat especially in the run and previous occasions the. fighters used to to. saudi military positions and then return back to the yemeni territories but then this these phrases and. the are taking this kind of for capturing and also encourage and into the saudi borders i could into this latest video released by the media showed that the. the these used. number of fighters in order to take control of su days and also on the whole military positions which are

making about ors the u.s. this threatening to impose sanctions on turkey if it doesn't cancel the deal for the f. 400 missile defense system a threat that some are warning could be counterproductive do not need truckie as specially in the middle east if you if they issue is taken into consideration. and i expect compromise because the united states in the middle east is dependent on territory turkey's support in terms of. when the war in syria ask lated turkey complained nisar sold by its nato allies were too expensive and in 2015 its partners withdrew their pet trade missiles from southern turkey turkey had then turned to russia to force its missile defenses now some say moscow is exploiting that the situation here overriding variation on the side of moscow is really to trigger

a political escalation between turkey and then ited states which will have a very negative impact on the cohesion of the western alliance and they don't particularly turkey and russia say they are deal will go ahead and they will join the produce a next generation missile ass $500.00. but in retaliation the us is threatening to pull one agreement with turkey to produce f. $35.00 jets something that benefits turkish companies by after $12000000000.00 with a struggling economy that's hard for unca to ignore while some fear possible u.s. sanctions on the turkish defense industry could cost billions of dollars others believe the u.s. is triggering the tension to stop turkey from buying the s. $400.00 missile system but the common concern is that if there is a price is worth washington it could cause a recession and force the only route to lose its value even further see now because all of al-jazeera stumbled. a palestinian photojournalist arrested by the israeli
