union because arguably the e.u. has got to work with israel it's got to work with netanyahu and it's also got to work with donald trump i mean or to put it another way when iran says we do not want nuclear weapons does the e.u. believe that because obviously the united states does not believe that. you know. the europe and the river and want to find a solution up to a certain point of course all right and then they want to help iran and nothing in syria really in this for to help iran with the phone time of call that there come no they don't want to destroy the very important special relationship with the united states they poured them relationship with it and a guy who said to build the most difficult. question to solve rather in the very question written the most difficult of all but mr nicholas you seem to be talking about a process that starts from

a position of everyone bring something positive to the table here if what we're seeing in real terms is a step change if you will are we not now in a situation where the total death of the original agreement going back to 2015 is as of today imminently one step closer. one step closer certainly but there's still a certain amount of steps having to reach the point who are in the nuclear agreement and will be completely destroyed you know we're still half there's still margins of negotiation you know basically. the point is to find the next remounted from which i mean the united states could claim victory and the rain and the gun claim victory in the this could be possible you know each side has to make an awful lot of course with

the united states. to you know unleash a little would be the pressure. is on the run and allow iran to say at least part of the oil on the other hand iran. let's use a little bit more than a little bit the school. of its nuclear program revolved challenging the the fundamental of them and we felt the. busy destroying its fundamental rights and without abandoning its fundamental rights this is i believe the 2 elements of the overnight green mint would be a limited agreement but in agreement. i said it's spark would say yes i have one you know i have one and specially for mr trump it would be important to sure that we can extract from iran mold on what mr obama got from

iran you know that would be of course for him because that dysfunction ok we have to be here at the fronts what nicolo the internal many thanks. plenty more ahead here on the news for you including greeks voting in their 1st general election since the end of the e.u. financial bailouts. and drowning for a new life we'll look at the dangers faced on the mexico u.s. border. and in sport messy seas read the book america will tell us about how often . the testers have returned to the streets of hong kong in their fight to have controversial extradition bill scrapped this time around he is being held in kowloon where tens of thousands are marching towards the new train station which links the territory to the mainland organizers say they want to educate visitors

from china about their struggle we'll have more on that let's go live to hong kong and our correspondent rob mcbride rob just take us through what's going on there. peter thousands of people again out on the streets as you mentioned there were over in the kalou district this is just across the harbor for my hong kong island where all of the protests of a protest this extradition route have taken place so far well they've taken their message over this site in particular is imagine that what these protesters want to do is try to reach out and meet up with made land visit to this part of hong kong it's a favorite with that they line chinese visitors it's where a lot of the market stores are selling luxury goods a lot of people you see walking around here from the mainland with their wee suitcases stocking up on goodies to take you back across the border these people say they want you to tell them about the expedition about what it was all about

though there were a lot of concerns from the off our teams that this is going to lead to angry clashes maybe some violence between landers and hong kong people it has to be said that the mood here has been expressively good natured despite the thousands of. people that we have seen on the streets they have been very polite respectful towards the mainland visitors that they have been meeting it has to also be said the mainland visitors for the most part are absolutely but you speak to because hong kong as you know is the only city in china where you have demonstrations like this so they will be going back and telling their relatives and people back home about what they could see not certainly what they were expecting when they visit down to hong kong the rally is ending just around the corner from here as you mentioned it's the high speed rail connection that connects mainland china with hong kong we were there just a short while ago but there are literally thousands of people surrounding the station now overloading the cell the mobile network and this is we've had to come

back several 100 meters to get any type of signal this march began just over 2 hours ago the people are still streaming past to get to the end of the markets peter to the demonstrators feel they can do next rob in this continuing campaign to secure what they want to mean they want the extradition agreement not just disposed or delayed they wanted to leave gone don't think. they do and the chinese authorities or the hong kong government they have suspended the bill local people say that's not enough they want to completely withdraw and effectively it does mean that for now this bill is dead but the suspicion is that the hong kong authorities will just wait and try to reintroduce it at a later stage so that's what the people are calling for and it all has to be said that there is a sense of frustration here you really sense out of one of the people 2000000 people coming out onto the streets in

a city of 7000000 doesn't make the government change its mind then what will work we've seen direct action we've seen the do the ransacking go on calls parliament a week ago that was born out of a sense of frustration. it has to be said by a minority of people these are massive demonstrations peter and it is only a small minority who think. the only way they can act now is to take direct action and that means occupying buildings and in some cases ransacking property then a small minority seem prepared to do that but while the this demonstration does give a sense of the continuing anger it also has to be said anger against the police while these demonstrators have be very respectful towards mainland visitors they have been meeting that we have seen an awful lot of altercations with the police here that these demonstrators believe have used too much force in breaking up previous demonstrations as well as calling for the withdrawal of this extradition

bill one of their key demands is still that there will be a full independent investigation into police tactics that have been used in previous demonstrations it has to be said so far today 6 the police have kept fairly low profile in the background but you do sense a sense of anger and also a lot of verbal abuse that has gone from the protesters no direct you to the money thanks very much. at least 12 people have been killed in the latest violence in afghanistan a car bomb went off in the central province against me 8 of those who died were afghan security personnel at least 179 people were injured including children taliban forces say they were responsible. talks between the taliban and afghan politicians are now underway in the delegation include civil society members but no government figures as the taliban refuses to negotiate directly with the administration the discussions are being mediated by germany and they are separate to negotiations between the u.s.

and the taliban which are also being held in doha charlotte ballasts our correspondent live at the talks in the country capital so charlotte quite a contrast here between the atmosphere the positive atmosphere surrounding the talks where you are and what's going on in ghana psni something that the taliban has claimed responsibility for. you know 2 very different stories on the same morning i mean his star talks here in doha this morning in the doors behind me are a delegation of about 60 afghans as well as 17 taliban members sitting around the table now some people in that room are actually from the afghan government and this is the 1st time people within the government and the taliban are in the same room talking about pace but they're they're in a personal capacity trying to push forward with peace talks and they came out about 45 minutes ago or had tea had coffee talked watching them they were jovial i mean this is picked as very much an icebreaker and that's what it appeared to be the taliban leadership to stand excited leaves a delegation laughing with members of the afghan government really getting along

and. like i said an ice breaker if you will that in contrast to what we're seeing in gaza new pictures of children hurt civilians injured i talked to the taliban in that break about gosney in seeds in contrast how can this be and they said look we are still very much at war until we have a settlement they said we were targeting an intelligence and afghan intelligence base that they blame for hurting civilians and they said so therefore it's almost fear game that the afghan government should stop operations if they want to they're really concerned about civilians so that's how they see it we see the afghan government probably sees it another way but this morning you know civilians in gaza me a feeling the brunt caught between these 2 sides and what role of the americans playing in today's discussions. so there are new york filling stations this morning the americans would there but this dialogue is very much seen as afghans talking to

afghans so they've slipped away as have the qatari delegation the german delegation who are moderating this it's really just afghans and they're talking to each other last week the americans have been talking to the taliban the they've pitched it as the most successful talks years they've been talking mainly about troop withdrawal foreign troops leaving and the americans really looking for guarantees from the taliban that if they do leave that the taliban will essentially police afghan soil and make sure that groups such as al qaida able to gather and play and executed techs on the way still mean they went in because of 911 and they want to make sure that if they leave something like that can never happen again they say a very close to a statement coming to some type of agreement and that they will raise rich those talks on tuesday as soon as these ones are done charlotte thanks very much voting is underway in the greek general election the 1st since the end of international financial bailouts and the severe austerity program that came with the now opinion

polls are predicting a defeat for the left wing prime minister alexis tsipras he called an early election after his set as the party's stinging loss in the european parliamentary elections in may the new democracy leader could cost mr tucker is tipped to be tim johnson joins us live from athens john good afternoon over to you. that's right those opinion polls are predicting not only a relative majority but an outright majority for the new democracy party in some cases which means that this policy would rule by itself without a coalition partner for the 1st time in 15 years standing next to me to analyze that possibility is the very seasoned journalist and political analyst really this panel what do you make of this return of new democracy apparent to power on its own office on long enough to having over spent so much money that it put the country into debt in 2009 i think it signifies possibly every turn to normality

return to what we we used it to the political system we used to before the crisis possibly the end of the crisis in political terms. that crisis has cost most political forces as adults in influence new democracy is $1.00 of the part is that some 5 it also seems that syriza is a party that came to to the limelight because of the crisis and it will probably also survive in the post-crisis period well the crisis has dominated elections for the past 10 years as you say that's been the main issue how are we going to get house and will stare into politics how are we going to become a normal country again is greece becoming a normal country again what you said return to greek normality or has it been in any way transformed well you know what i term greek normality may not seem like no

money to many other people because they are the norm was overspending. basing economic growth on consumption rather than productive e.t. and competitiveness it's very difficult to see where this is heading. austerity has not ended the bailout programs have ended but the state has not ended now a new democracy it would be one of the greatest upsets in history if they don't win an outright majority tonight new democracy have been promising more growth orientated policies lowering taxes learning social security contributions it all remains to be seen how feasible these are because the fiscal restrains remain a vigil his know it the know you work in this economy like the rest of us you talk to people who work in this economy what's your impression of what people want of

this stage in life i think there is a general feel good factor and that usually comes with political change and we're about to to see a political change in this country most likely so there is a feel good factor and that will help the economy that will help growth for a period of time we'll know that that that feel good factor doesn't last forever it doesn't even last for very long but it's a it's a good springboard for the new government. people have been fatigued by 10 years of austerity by 10 years of raised taxation and social security contributions so the new democracy message on that front is very very popular as i said it remains to be seen whether it's practical practicable as well as part of this was saying we have

a heavily statist political culture in greece people have expected handouts from the state for all sorts of reasons to start businesses to survive difficult periods in their lives this isn't an economy that has ever really truly unleashed its potential in the private sector the conservative new democracy party promises to do that if that happens that is truly a big change for greece john thank you. increased enforcement along the u.s. mexican border is expected to deter people from trying to enter the united states who feel thora he's anticipating a 25 percent drop in the number of arrests however as manuel report now reports the more desperate a still willing to risk their lives and their freedom as they try to cross the potentially deadly rio grande river up. on the banks of the rio grande the mexican 1st responders are searching for a missing person it's a joint operation between mexican authorities and u.s. customs and border patrol they're looking for

a little girl about 3 years old the daughter of haitian migrants who crossed the river into the united states a few nights ago and. in this case unfortunately we are looking for a girl between 2 and 3 years old it's best that we search down stream because she's the baby she could have been swept away easier than an adult we've also had cases where bodies are stuck deep in the water or in the surrounding brush. at a nearby camp for migrants we met 2 brothers from cuba they've been here for almost a month while their asylum cases are processed in the u.s. they tell us it's quite common for migrants to get impatient and take to the river but we're not. there was one night we're 80 people cross to others across the river 20 or 30 at a time including children sometimes younger than 2 years old. the camp has become a temporary home to more than 300 asylum seekers most of them are from west africa haiti and cuba. but not of those from angola he's been at the camp for more than

a month he plays music most days to pass the time those days we're expecting to wait here $23.00 or 4 months because there are many people ahead of us on the asylum list. many of the people we spoke to at the camp like bit of an article say they plan to wait as long as it takes to cross into the u.s. legally. but illegal crossings at the rio grande they have in. crease in recent months and so have drownings we're at a municipal cemetery that us need us mexico where the bodies of migrants who died trying to cross into the united states are often brought in have these wooden crosses placed over their graves and this one here simply reads mail not identified pulled out of the rio approximately 300 meters from the black bridge in the neighborhood. there are several other graves of unknown migrants nearby the groundskeeper told us he peered 8 drowning victims just last week. back at the

river looking just across the water in the u.s. soil authorities say they will continue the search operation for one week as per protocol we've been told however that at this stage now several days since a child went missing the odds of finding her alive are very good. be that us neda's mexico. just a few moments we'll have the weather for you with some usual of course but also still ahead here on the news i will cover these stories we'll tell you why this meeting of monks in sri lanka has taken on a renewed significance. also ahead peaks of change. to climate challenges. on the. host egypt the africa cup of nations details in the sports news in about 20 minutes.

hello we've got some big summer storms bursting over central parts of europe at the moment you see the thunderheads stropping there are around the alpine regions a little further north and the reason is because a bit of everything going on actually we hang on to that hot sunshine down towards the south further north it has been freshening up and behind this cold front here if seeing some cooler digging in fresher conditions temperatures actually struggling to get to around 90 or 20 celsius more than that other guy we were getting easily into the mid thirty's so the storms range from around southern parts of france around the swiss alps pushing a little further a switch towards ukraine they will tend to just drift a little further south which as we go through the next couple of days northern italy coming into the mix here other side of the adriatic into the balkans pushing over towards the black sea so the be some wet weather also sliding across rumania staying fresh further north staying hot further south and as we go on through

stepped up security in the hurt of the capital underlining the growing concerns not only here in the sahara region of africa but in many other parts of the continent. from north to south east to west and in the hurt of africa 2 governments are struggling to contain communal clashes and violent extremism. african leaders hope the new free trade deal is the answer to help reduce the poverty that helps fuel the fighting experts say an african common market will come with additional risks that as national organized correct criminals could take advantage of this free movement you know to floor from one country to another and that is can just his or to perpetrate their nefarious activities so definitely do looking for the for the chink in the are you looking for the weak link in the countries do not have you know security at some countries risk safe heaven you know or

terrorist or criminal organized criminals the government say they're working to stop that from happening. we have decided to escalate our security approach in dealing with these attacks and violence so that's africa union will come in and take charge. this way the cell region will be safer and all the flashpoints can be contained in the solved by africans themselves. leaders from at least $53.00 of the continents $65.00 countries i do here to ratify the deal that could be implemented as early as next year. the african continental free trade agreement is expected to create the walls the largest single market in the continent is home to one and a quarter 1000000000 africans leaders hope that the free trade agreement will help create jobs and sprite intimate growth but it's not clear whether investors will be internal strife in many african countries and bring in the much needed capital to boost production of goods and services. african entrepreneurs

say the agreement could be the answer to the continent's many problems and the truth is we do have change by the know where there is a good economic times when you 1st need to get in so you are confident the investors will come and come to visit all we need to do to fund the war problem was going to put in place policies that will be able create jobs i live in poverty there are also fears that corruption and weak in force might get some countries could model success of what's being billed as a historic free trade agreement but you crease al-jazeera may be share ok let's stay with us story malcolm webb reports now from kenya about what the free trade agreement could mean for farmers there. what betty chip bet grows here on her farm in kenya and up in more than a dozen african countries beings from these soya plants will make cooking oil our

most i mean at it we are no more a so we decided to call soya because there are this is the. draft. and then it is the main quest grow up for us. the oil from bessie's beans is bottled at this food factory in the town of seeka as well as using locally produced oil its owners sometimes in falls oil from neighboring countries as well so that's subject to trade towers and so it costs more the products made in this factory were also subject to trade tariffs in some of the african countries that they're exporting to the proponents of a new christian continental free trade agreement say that would soon change. nearly all of the member states of the african union has signed the agreement is due to take effect next year and progressively phase out 97 percent of terrorists. at the

factory the director told us it'll create jobs and reduce costs if it's implemented there's going to be the single biggest market in the world where there will be free movement of goods and services big macro projects like this is a very good but they implemented has to be done with a united africa with united thinking united limitation when leaders promise free trade the african union many still pursue protectionist policies at home selling manufactured products across africa's borders often isn't easy it's here at the port of mombasa that goods manufactured outside of africa are imported to the region. most african countries trade more with countries in europe and asia and with each other economists say that free trade agreement alone won't solve that and that they'll be resistance from a powerful few who make fast profits from the status quo the politicians have

become beholden to these types of folks and i think you're breaking up much more than might appear at 1st glance here bring in a system that's been there since independence the products from the food factory a truck to around the region that this kind of manufacturing and export happens less in africa than any other continent economist say free trade within the continent would change that and create more jobs and income for people like betty but many feel it's still a long way off malcolm webb al-jazeera kenya ok joining us now you just saw him in that report there from malcolm weber's the economist and emerging market specialist such how do they make this work across such a massively diverse economically fluid continent. that's exactly the question i think you know i don't macro level this is the so-called the will it will have we scenario if we convene the challenge it generally is in the detail of the execution

we're talking about i'm sure market of $1500000000.00 people 2 and a half trillion dollar economy and i think it's not just the big corporates about big manufacturing businesses it's about under leashing our people and it's allowing our people to be on but now it's a problem all at less than full and that's what's really getting me excited but as you say meet and as your as your report it's in your words and moments on the continent black well even modems if you look at libya since we've done this and stabilize sudan we've had at least the new future with the months you know our wives or our children but then we're. zimbabwe from the sense it's nations so you're absolutely correct it's a highly volatile that situation but overlaying that this really has a lot of promise it isn't meant that there's

a lot of momentum behind it per the population i mean the 3 strongest economies you've got nigeria south africa and egypt how do those politicians are talking about there if they choose to and arguably they should make sure that we don't say in a decade we're not in a situation where those super strong wealthy economies are stronger and wealthier and the other economies at the end of that list the bottom functioning countries across the continent are not poorer and their people are not worse off. so that's what those 3 countries are mentioning nigeria has been the 1st. for about earthquakes and g.d.p. growth is a negative terrorism who challenge this basically is already on them that the economy isn't growing suspicion versus the poppy back in egypt that you know something's not areas we can also have a spillover of or o.c.c. philosophy spinning into places like sudan and into libya and race in the levels of

the uncertainty and that's again. the forces of conservatism but what i mean it's doing the best all those raids he took tough decisions economically anything to just take and he's actually growing fast and that they on these do you mean well but we mustn't forget nigeria so that the being in sub-saharan africa is simply not ready and that speaks to the challenge that we have these demographic dividend in hosting this conference and you know news is optimal in the sense that me out here it's meant to mice it's going to act but it's the population growth in asia is going not the jobs i think it's fever too late last night school people i'm not sure and that made ready to stand for the continent could potentially a big plus if this happens and happens properly over a long period of time be that you're ending up with africa in

a situation of pockets of job creation which on the face of it is good but if you drill down into it might be bad because the you then end up with people migrating across the continent to find a job which is perfectly understandable but there are so many african countries the consul stay in migration levels where they are at the moment let alone if an added momentum to migration was job creation i.e. seeking a job. so your point is a very valid one and we've already seen the sports points develop a lot of people e internal migration is a very big look at somewhere like south africa a lot of look on i don't want to be sent out. we should be welcoming our office and as all of the continent but the reality is politicians on what was the thought that they are talking and i think that's my concern right like rightly that winning 3 it's out and the future.
