7:00 pm
iran acquires nuclear weapons and other countries in the region with a particularly as it comes a very very toxic and dangerous situation so we are looking to find a way to preserve the nuclear deal that we think is the best way of keeping the middle east as a whole nuclear weapons free. iran is still a good year away from developing nuclear weapons we think there is still some closing thoughts window to keep the deal alive while speaking to reporters in new york iran's foreign minister accused europe of failing to keep the nuclear deal alive there are leaders want the u.s. to lift sanctions as a precondition for talks well we have correspondents following the story in iran and at e.u. headquarters dorsetshire bari is live for us in tehran but 1st let's go to dominic kane in brussels and dominic i mean what can we expect from this meeting. well certainly there's a united front that the ministers here and indeed e.u.
7:01 pm
officials here want to show to the world the way that the e.u. feels the e.u. countries member states feel regarding this deal federica maurine the high representative for foreign affairs chairing this meeting effectively saying that this is the opportunity now to try to deescalate the desk escalate rather the crisis the between iran and the united states also the fact that you have the foreign secretary of the united kingdom talking about the need to prevent toxicity in the region the toxicity of nuclear weapons shows that these countries are quite serious but the problem they face is how are they going to be able to intercede as it were between the united states with president donald trump in charge and with the iranian government in teheran from the european perspective they say that the efforts they put in place to try to help the government in teheran legally to circumvent that is to get around the impact of economic sanctions notably via the scheme instax well that's something they say that's concrete that can be done that
7:02 pm
they have been doing for several months but still that scheme isn't up and running at 100 percent so the point here some might say perhaps is that there will be words coming from this meeting perhaps a steer from the e.u. as to what they think is the next step but the reality is they can't physically bring together the trumpet ministration and the government in tehran or leave it there for of course follow events with you dominic let's cross over to teheran and also following events there in the iranians to be very firm in their position i have been very clear in the words that they're using for the international community and now iran's nuclear department also speaking as well on monday. yes we've been hearing from the spokesperson for iran's atomic energy organization but who's camel vendor who says that iran is prepared to go back to the nuclear activities it was doing in 2015 prior to this agreement that means that iranians
7:03 pm
are looking at going back to enriching uranium at 20 percent levels and having all their nuclear facilities operational the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif is in new york where he's meeting a series of officials at the united nations he is scheduled to meet with the u.n. secretary general and tanya terrace and we believe the issue of the nuclear agreement and its future also be discussed now the foreign minister has said that it is enough talk from the europeans that the iranians want to see some concrete action but for the past 14 months since the united states withdrew from this nuclear agreement the europeans that are left in it have not been able to uphold their end of the deal the officials here believe that the europeans are being bullied by the americans and that they're not willing to uphold their end of the bargain we've also heard from iranian president hassan rouhani who on sunday marked the 4 year anniversary of the signing of this nuclear agreement in vienna on july
7:04 pm
14th he thanked the reigning form in a surge about zarif and the team that he had with them he said that this agreement with a single agreement they were able to abolish 6 united nations security council resolutions against iran and that this deal is very important to the future of the country but that iran will meet violation with violation and implementation with implementation and that the iranians are willing to talk to the americans at any point but they have to lift those sanctions that they've imposed since they withdrew from the deal that includes the oil and gas sector sanctions and also the iranian iranian banks have been under u.s. sentients so all this comes as the iranians are prepared. for the worse they're saying that the future of this deal really now is up to the remaining signatories to see whether or not they can hold their uphold their end of the or we'll leave it there for now of course and come back to when the situation develops for the moment to dorset thank you so had here on the al-jazeera news are slowing down
7:05 pm
a trade war with the us is one of the factors driving china's worst economic growth figures in years and accused of racism president trump tells a group of democratic congresswoman to go back to the countries they came from. and inspire we'll hear from the new wimbledon champion after what he described as the most demanding final of his career. china's economy isn't being held by the trade war with the united states growth in the 2nd quarter of the year slowed to a 27 year low that it was 6.2 percent down from 6.4 percent in the 1st quarter china's all important export trade that's just fight tax cuts aimed at boosting spending to stimulate the world's 2nd largest economy when he has more beijing.
7:06 pm
well the chinese government weren't set out right but there's no doubt they will be concerned about some of the economic numbers that are coming out it wasn't all doom and gloom on the release of these latest figures there were some bright spots retail sales and industrial output both showed some positive signs in the 2nd quarter of the year industrial output in particular will be welcomed because that sick to had been struggling recently resulting in many factories around china laying off staff but it's the overall trend in economic growth that has been falling that will be causing a lot of concern really since the end of 2012 it's been declining with the odd reprieve along the way part of a global trend of course the global economy is slowing down and in fact many countries in and around the world would welcome would want to have some of the numbers that china is reporting right now but china of course needs to be looked at a little bit differently to most countries and around the world because of the
7:07 pm
remarkable economic growth that it has been through if we go back to the global financial crisis in 2009 even in that difficult time china didn't report quarterly growth below 6.4 percent well we're beneath that now so naturally that is going to be causing some concern both within china around asia and beyond and of course all this happening amid the trade dispute between china and the united states the latest trade statistics came out on friday as well showing that imports and exports are down and perhaps the most concerning thing is that we don't know when this trade war is going to end yes there's been a truce declared between the 2 presidents meaning no new tariffs are being placed on each other's goods but we still don't know when those face to face negotiations are going to restart. well let's find out more about the wider implications of the slowdown of the economics editor with ali i mean on the surface any country would be delight. it's sort of 6 point whatever percent growth china is and yet wouldn't
7:08 pm
any country be happy with that but china's been trying to target growth opportunities 6 percent and 6.5 percent so this is really getting to the lower end of that now the reason why it needs growth at that particular rate is because it needs to absorb all the population that's coming into the workforce every single year so it needs to provide jobs otherwise it's considered that there might be social unrest if it doesn't manage to do that now the figure that economists think that social and undress could actually start at is anything below 4.5 percent so they're doing rather well right now but at 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent china's economies are actually at a standstill so it's not exactly creating jobs and so this is very important for china to make sure that it hits its target every single year so how does the trade war with the us impact of that figure also the issues that you just mentioned so this is huge for the for china in particular because 500000000000 dollars worth of
7:09 pm
its goods go to the united states every single year so $200000000000.00 have already been hit another $300000000000.00 have yet to be have yet to have the taps employed on them. trump is actually threatening to do that if there isn't progress in the trade talks so it's crucial that they get this this element of the trade of the trade dispute resolved as soon as possible for their economy now you've got also remember that a lot of naish a lot for corporations who are moving their businesses outof china because they're saying chinese wages are going to high and we can find lower cost environments to build up products like in vietnam at the same time the global economy is slowing and it's not expected to bottom out until next year so trade he's having a huge impact it's the biggest components of what's what's happened to china's economy in terms of the way that china has been looking long term. about their
7:10 pm
economy they've been always talked about moving away from the manufacturing process and heading towards a more civil service sector scenario very much very similar to that is sort of western europe. at the end of the day if they if they want to try and get chinese to buy more products and keep the retail engine going in china some of these got to make those products yes they absolutely so but let's let's remember that the service sector currently accounts for 50 percent of china's economy now they would like to get that to about 7080 percent similar to western nations there's different ways of doing that one certain sector of that is the retail sector and retail sector held up really well in these particular numbers of which came out today. you want your own public to be able to consume more but in china it's been held back because of social security the so security net is privately funded by individuals and corporations not by the government so if you lose your job you have to rely on that insurance so the public is more inclined to save money then to actually spend
7:11 pm
money so they've been trying to improve this the other thing is that you have to decide as a nation what kind of products do you want to produce in china's case cut china's recognizes we need to be in artificial intelligence coding fine finances what we don't want to be doing too much of it is making fishing gadgets or other of the other things plastic toys for instance you know which don't really add anything to the economy in the longer it so where does this sort of play into the chinese stimulus package of nearly what 600000000000 you say it's going to benefit certain types of business where's that money going right ok so welcome to the to the 600000000000 in the in in a few seconds but let's start with the stimulus packages which the government has been introduced the biggest contribution it's made so far is to say to the banks you can hold less reserves now banks hold reserves just. in case has
7:12 pm
a rainy day fund just in case there's a financial crisis just in case it's a recession so in this case the woman said with juice that lend more money out and lend more money to the private sector because the private sector is the fastest growing sector in the economy that's where most of the jobs are created and the more higher value wage growth kind of jobs that really people really want so you've got money to spend money so that's where the government saying you know this is where we want you to target your target your your loans to now on the 600000000000 side that's coming tax cuts to individuals to say day that that was about $291000000000.00 in total to say to individuals right you've got this money in your pocket now spend it on something you know and corporations spend it on. buying new products new manufacturing plants etc into into the come in now another $300000000000.00 went to local governments local governments could now issue bonds so that they can vest in infrastructure which has been used numerous times by the
7:13 pm
government to increase growth interesting to see what happens in the next few months few weeks absolutely economics as a thank you thank you south korea's president is urging japan to resume talks on that escalating trade dispute so as the japanese economy has suffered from the recent restrictions imposed on high tech exports to south korea the trade negotiators failed to reach agreement in talks last week. but that ban has provoked dozens of small business owners in the capital seoul to urge south koreans to boycott japanese goods japan's restriction of high tech exports is seen as retaliation against court rulings in south korea judges ordered japanese companies to pay compensation for force later during the 2nd world war. that u.s. president is on the phone for a series of racially charged tweets against democratic congresswoman kohl the foreign bold troublemakers and told to go from where they came to his will from
