2:02 am
that weapon to another country a 3rd country a regime under u.n. sanctions or in this case apparently a warlord also under u.n. sanctions so it's unclear what the united states would do if it were proven definitively that the u.a.e. had done this and violated the end user agreement but we do know that president trump considers the u.a.e. of very important ally of the united states and that also the president has valued the u.s. arm sales very highly especially to the region. still to come here it out a white supremacist is sentenced for driving into protests is killing a woman. and the captain of a rescue base is arrested for defying its of these government by bringing dozens of migrants ashore.

2:07 am
embassy in sudan and he says the competing interests are making these negotiations very difficult indeed. well the key is always to trust but verify or frankly no one has any choice but to go forward with this and hope that indeed the transitional military council is sincere about pursuing an agreement with the opposition one must keep in mind that it represents many many different groupings and sudan's ards it's really not realistic to expect them to be in full agreement on everything this is to some extent a disorganized group but on the other hand it's surprisingly well organized in view of the pressure they continued to put on the military and to move forward with this important breakthrough of continuing negotiations and trying to pursue an outcome that will avoid the the deaths that occurred on june 3 s. so it's a very important step forward for the military could play
2:08 am
a waiting game and this is where organisations like the african union the government of ethiopia which deserve great credit for moving this issue forward come into play in addition to the entire international community and the united states putting pressure on the transitional military council to take all of this seriously and to move forward with a democratic transition in sudan which is in the interest of everyone the 5 children are among 8 killed in yemen the u.s. strikes led by the saudi u.a.e. coalition who are fighting who feel rebels warplanes struck a residential area into his the control city 12 yemeni soldiers and 8 he see rebels died in the fighting in the south the u.n. special representative for children in conflict says the yemeni people are being held hostage by the wall which is now in its 5th. now the man who drove his car into a group of protests is in charlottesville virginia this is in the u.s.

2:15 am
it's much more important right the people to safety and their lives. and that's more important than the right territorial waters. the migrants are expected to leave lampedusa soon other european countries including france germany luxembourg and portugal have agreed to allow them in. the sea watch 3 is the latest symbol of the refugee crisis on europe's southern front here but the challenge is much greater than one ship and its defiant captain hundreds of other migrants landed on italy's coast over the last 2 weeks despite cell beanies warnings to stay away after schapelle al-jazeera. not just one but 2 erupting volcano as a causing a state of emergency in papua new guinea rescue workers say they haven't got enough results is out thousands of villages have been forced to move to safety mount

manila. take a look at the top stories here it of his era the summit of the world's biggest economies has ended with china and the u.s. agreeing to restart talks and to try to end their trade will president trump says he won't impose new terrorists on beijing for them. we had a great meeting and we will be continuing to negotiate and i promised that for. at least the time being we're not going to be lifting tariffs on china we will be adding an additional. you know tremendous amount of what we have i guess $350000000000.00 left which could be taxed or could be tariffs and we're not doing that where we're going to work with china on where we left off
2:20 am

2:21 am
albanians go to the polls on sunday despite a route between the prime minister and the president on the timing of the election the opposition party supported by president messer is boycotting the vote right those are the headlines inside story is next. a platform for cooperation or division the g 20 summit has now wrapped up in the saca and japan's prime minister says consensus has been reached on some issues but in an increasingly divided world can global powers find common ground and if so how this is inside story.
2:22 am
hello and welcome to the program today with me peter dopy the world 7 biggest economies the g. 7 mushrooms and the g. 20 following the asian financial crisis in 1990 the g. 20 summit is the world's biggest annual gathering of world leaders 2nd only to the un general assembly this is g 20 in japan had a different focus leaders instead focusing their own cooperation among themselves to solve problems rather than the summits usual themes of sustainable growth health and innovation the threat of war between the united states concentrated minds in a saka so did the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies the u.s. and china however the closing remarks of some leaders could signal a breakthrough on major issues. isn't the step thought about it not if trade
2:23 am
tensions are continuing and there's a risk so we have to keep those risks and tensions in mind still we have agreed to unite in order to lead the world economy there are some dissatisfactions between countries so although there are concerns what we have to do is establish principles in order to relieve the world economy into the future a free fair and inclusive economy and open competition those principles have been affirmed by the leaders at this g 20 meeting. basically we agreed today that we were going to continue the negotiation which i ended a while back and we're going to continue the negotiation that we agreed that i would not be putting tariffs on the 320 $5000000000.00 that i would have the ability to put on if i wanted there. we're you know we've barely advanced depending on where you want to look at and where you want to start pretty advanced. or actions regarding our partners will always be tit for tat who will
2:24 am
treat them in the same way to treat us i would like everyone to remember this similar no work on. china in the united states both benefit from cooperation and lose in a confrontation cooperation in dialogue are better than friction and confrontation well the g 20 summit was established to respond to global financial challenges but world leaders are expected to find solutions in all the areas to the g 20 accounts for 85 percent of global g.d.p. but the trade between the world's top 2 economies the u.s. and china well that's costing other countries as well climate change is another major global challenge so is migration and displacement with major humanitarian consequences worldwide this year's g 20 was overshadowed by the threat of war between the u.s. and iran and the saudi crown prince mohammed bin cell man continued to face accusations over the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi.
2:25 am
ok there we are here we go let's bring in the panel today joining us from kyoto nancy snow she's the paks monday professor of public diplomacy at kyoto university of foreign studies from moscow victor or live each lead expert at the center for actual politics and in washington we have richard wets security analyst at wick a strat welcome to you all the snow in kyoto can a country 1st please nancy you spent 3 days there tell us what the atmosphere was like. well the atmosphere for the leaders it looked like there were a lot of meetings but for most of the people of osaka they were highly and convenience there were a lot of streets shut down schools were closed it was somewhat to be been a ghost town around the international exhibition center what it's called in texas and i really went there looking to talk to the people i thought there would be some
2:26 am
protests or people there to relate comments and it seemed like people were going about their business but not really too concerned or intrigued at all by the cheap 20 of that then the end to be. richard which in washington can the g. 20 ever genuinely come up with a real across the board common message on all the issues certainly not all the issues but on some it can it was easier when the lead form was the g 7 g 8 since they tended to be one and excluding russia special status of the liberal democracies with similar industrial profile some miller outlook someone calls so it's easier to get the g. 7 to come up with these hanura statements and cream and communique as with many
2:27 am
many provisions what the g 20 it's of course harder some issues are probably unobjectionable all whereas others here certainly are going to see major differences between important countries that will block consensus and big to leave it in moscow multilateralism is a very difficult thing at the best of times but when you've got the elephant in the room which is this paused trade war between washington and beijing multilateralism sure surely an impossibility. well of course surjeet winds here are feared on the world stage much as a result of the financial crisis of 20072008 when it became apparent that there were new economic players in the world that were not bierria slee included in the just 7 g 8 and of course since then the positions of major parties have only they have to apart even more and as we have seen. in the past few
2:28 am
months and years the positions of washington and beijing have they have to par and there doesn't seem to be an and insight to this confrontation despite several cease fires the latest of which was announced to be you know that the talks would be in the united states and chain nancy's new coming back to kyoto i mean is is the starting point for the g. 20 now wherever they have this summit. in november of next year is the starting point always now going to be a restatement of their starting positions or is it going to be a starting point of ok we are going to go for consensus. well it seems like it's going to be determined a lot by the host i would imagine that saudi arabia's going to be a very very different host nation it was quite noticeable to me i was mocked on a touring twitter and you would think that twitter would matter but ever since
2:29 am
donald trump was elected in 2016 it matters more than ever and the saudi arabian government whether through its ministry of foreign affair or search just the central government there was so active on twitter and promoting n.b.s. and really had control of that and but it was more about the personalities i think that we're talking about building consensus but i wonder what were the issues that really came out of this beyond the personality clashes because i would often see coverage where it was china versus the u.s. but it was really he says trump or it was trump versus who. it's becoming a state that's relate dominated by the strong personalities for sure it was dominated here by donald trump even though chip a and was the chair of the summit in japan
2:30 am
it least a stance of late wanted to promote issues of empowerment of women and also about the environment and cleaning up the oceans i was at a briefing in tokyo a week before the cheap 20 and the emphasis was on smart plastics and chip and wanting to get the other nations on board with strong change. in update on the environment well do we really see that come out of this summit it seems to have been driven more by the g.d.p. and global economy and it makes you wonder what is so different about the g 20 and what was said earlier too there are some many different players now. i was and he said jim go g 7 which of course took me and hosted 3 years ago and that was a lot more used i mean user friendly to 2 viewers i think there was more
2:31 am
excitement around that than this time richard quest in washington is what nancy snow in kyoto is talking about a dynamic that is primarily associated with all big clubs big clubs of different countries the bigger they get the less powerful they get. well i suppose you could say that as a general rule with obvious exceptions the thing is the g 7 was special and some ways in the various times it almost claimed asserted itself as global the global leader of the world economy almost trying to assert some functions from the un because it also dealt with security issues and had a major role in helping. to remove chemical weapons and from russia and it had i mean there were series and 10 subgroups it was festive much more a lab or structure but the problem was that you had countries that were members
2:32 am
of the g 7 that were becoming more important in the world economy above all china so many of its economic functions have devolved to this larger group so it's theoretically possible i suppose that if you had in the u.s. and china or our next couple other countries that were the had the dominant wrong picture policy area that they would be all the bring on the others to get consensus but when you get very divisive issues climate change globalization and so on then i think what you're going to see is stalemate fragmentation and a priority on these old meanings on the sidelines between world leaders victor in moscow coming to you we had this 3 way relationship between donald trump vladimir putin and the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma on the face of it those 3 men get on very very well with each other what does vladimir putin get out of that relationship point number one point number 2 what are those 3 countries in
2:33 am
agreement on if they're not in agreement on trade if they're not in agreement on conflict in the middle east where is the common ground. well of course they lieschen ship between the united states and the russia on the one hand and the relationship between washington and on the other hand have to be looked at in different perspective since the saudi arabia has been an ally of the united states and the united kingdom since since its founding and of course since donald trump has been an outspoken proponent of realist foreign policy somebody who has not been a key in on moral grandstanding he has been. he has he is ok with letting sensual letting the saudis go with the. killing of jamal has get washington post. journalist
2:34 am
who had been killed in the saudi consulate in the last year but and of course. the economic and political benefits that the united states gets from its relationship with. far outweigh the moral considerations that would could possibly affect the relationship between washington and saudi arabia now as far as russia and the russian american elation ship is concerned there is not there is ealy not much significant movement in the russian american relations the are as they have been for the last several years at the a low point those that believe that g 20 is a forum a decision making for whom could well be disappointed but those that feel the g.
2:35 am
20 is a discussion forum for the leaders of great powers can well be satisfied since no leader is. the united states russia china japan other world powers kava kava a venue where they can meet both bilaterally or multilaterally to discuss issues where they may not find that they meant by that the same time they could they could . in their present clarify their positions and perhaps each some local issue agreements so there have been no major agreements between putin and time tearing their bilateral meeting in or seka but at the same time the discussion itself if indeed there's a further great bars is a is a positive step ok apart from there i see it mr trump asking mr putin not to meddle in the next us presidential election that's a whole different conversation of course nancy snow in kyoto unpack that for us the
2:36 am
victor says donald trump deploys realist foreign policy what's the difference between realistic or realist foreign policy being an aspirational thora tarion us president and just being foreign policy irresponsible in a numbered set of characters on your twitter feed at 6 am. i'm not so sure trump is threatened by reale colletti you're taking me back to my international relations classroom now i just see in terms of this twitter led diplomacy it's it's rather chaotic it's an also we now may see president trump possibly being the 1st american president to step into the d.n.c. no no he held this press conference and said that he would meet with kim jong on it's personality driven aside i was saying earlier and i think the optics of this
2:37 am
meeting even if it's discussion oriented and there are a lot of not enforceable that it green ments is really intriguing when you solve the u.s. delegation it's the branding of the trump regime in many respects i personally found it rather off putting to see if i could trump and share a cushion or in tow right behind the elected president of the united states whatever you think of trump he is holding the office of the white house he is commander in chief but these 2 are under scrutiny in the united states and they are increasingly under a very negative scrutiny and i think for as an american living abroad many of us are really concerned with the the image and the diminishing return and credibility also and the so-called soft power of the united states globally so that whether
2:38 am
it's the twitter feed or the personality or the brandy we're missing the grander picture here which is not only the depletion of our oceans with more plastics than fish according to the u.n. by 2050 but also the world's majority who are really not here there are some. nice dinners and gatherings but it's certainly not battle in seattle i mean i'm just wondering where people are going with their frustration or what they're questioning localization and frankly it was interesting to hear pluton talk about the end of liberalism because at least it's putting something out there for people to grab onto and have some substantive dialogue that that's at least more intellectual than some of these tweets in the middle of the night richard wherrett in washington i mean nancy raises a valid point there doesn't she that the french president emanuel macro was
2:39 am
threatening not to even begin the process of signing up to the final communique unless there was a strong signal about what the world is going to do to the environment and that was something that donald trump's white house clearly wanted to stifle they didn't want to anyplace near the final communique. sure that was one of the major areas of disagreement but i think that nancy really focused on somewhat really the key issue that these you see division among the world both within countries and inside them over this question of globalization. and then so you had putin i thought skillfully at the tactical level trying to exploit those fissures saying that you know the reason trump was elected was because he understood that the globalization is hurting the american people all and and we see a rejection of liberalism the west and so on but of course the way he defines liberalism was clearly it was you know focused extension on social issues such as
2:40 am
gay marriage or other progressive issues and exclude all the things that most liberals are which is the that checks and balances and political power and so on the thing is at the g. 20 you have these kind of tax so if countries disagree and this case it's the u.s. and france then in the basically if they don't come to a compromise and the decision is not to do anything i would point out though that between the g 7 g 20 there's also at the much broader level the u.s. and the climate conferences and so on and often they will take a lead role on a single issue even if it's not dealt with at the lar at these summits but isn't there another sense if i flip this around richard and send it back to you because it is the g. 20 the best venue we've got for this it's the only venue we've got for this because if you look at the w t o so many g. 20 countries want to use the w.c.
2:41 am
as a punchbag if you look at the the g 20 so many of those countries they want to use the united nations as a punchbag and that's not to diminish what those 2 organizations want to do but the wu might be the best place to achieve what those organizations comment. so yes i would agree that if you're going to deal with the world economy the g 20 is sort of if you have a go the locks framework it's not too hot like the g 8 like the u.n. which is a larger to call it like the g 7 which is no longer to has the legitimacy to enforce its ears on the world economy so ideally g 20 is the right format so it's not so much a challenge of the institutional structure or fora it's more that the man major members disagreeing so if they were do agree on a policy then the g 20 would be great mechanism to at a put and bring out a common policy proposal action plans template and so on so it's less
2:42 am
a question of the institution here than it is of the members themselves ok let's come back to japan starting point for this get together unequivocally was we need a quote win win on something so the communication is more than just you know civil servant was full there wasn't a clear win win on any of the big issues apart from the trade war being stalled which generates more uncertainty not less for mr putin what would have been a win win on any of the issues we're discussing. russia really was not looking for a win win at the g 20 says it it. it looks at g 20 is more of a discussion forum than a decision making for whom were are the feet of international relations is were economic relations is decided and of course in discussions with stomp which in
2:43 am
meeting with the outgoing british prime minister tourism a meeting with his other counterparts was. all that russia was looking for and of course those discussions between leaders of the leading powers are a benefit to those countries themselves now looking back at the at the exchange between the journalists and on one fan then which in and thump on the other hand that that question. raised by one of the journalists to tump asking him if he is going to tell putin to not meddle in the american the upcoming american election and then we we saw that i'm clearly mocking. that the journalist by telling right in front of him to put in twice several times not to meddle in the election why was that really done well american officials on
2:44 am
different levels both on the secretary of state level victor i'm going to interrupt you because that's kind of little think news debates which we have done on this program before but i just want to take what you've said and what richard is said and kind of boil that down and put one point to nancy and see if this is about a strong projection of self interest married to strong personalities married to presidents and prime minister and crown prince is who are pure and simple alpha males in the room how can any of the the issues the big issues of the small issues how can they be solved well i think they were somewhat lost here it was really disappointing to me and i was waiting for japan to really step up because japan will be hosting the summer olympics and it's really has an interest in getting out there on the world stage but when you have somebody like trump come
