donald trump believes china's trade relationship with the united states is not a fair one last year he began placing tariffs on some chinese goods beijing retaliated with its own taxes a truce was declared when trump made his chinese counterpart xi jinping at the g 20 summit in japan last month but in china there is a sense that a deal is a long way off and the government is settling in for a long fight a resumption in trade talks is welcomed here in china but it is tempered with a realisation that some of the things the americans are asking for will take a long time to deliver if they can be delivered at all the dispute goes way beyond simple trade in goods and services the u.s. wants china to undertake broad economic reforms to make it easier for american companies to do business here but that could be a step too far for the communist party which is likely to view that as an attempt to undermine china's sovereignty there are something that can be talked about like pure trade importing more of the natural gas agricultural products but then when it
1:16 pm
comes to industrial. or you name bracing liberal values these are very hard questions to proceed but china has to balance that with the likelihood that a drawn out trade dispute will contribute to a slowing economy increasing the risk of political instability in the meantime many businesses in china both large and small will be watching closely for any sign of an improvement in relations between the world's 2 largest economies wayne hay al jazeera beijing. to indonesia now where there's a warning of an increase volcanic activity around the country's mt merapi the most active volcano thousands of people have been put on high alert as we report some residents are refusing to relocate. imposing and unpredictable mt merapi is one of indonesia's most dangerous volcanoes its

bobby why have a look at this clip of him talking to al-jazeera as katherine saw it back in may. we are lucky that we are living in a generation where our mouths can not be shut we shall speak the truth and we shall continue using the law as it does do stand for our rights and has a president ever reached out to you mean to talk about you know political issues to talk about how to move the country forward things like that no he has not reached out to me and would you be willing to sit down with him to talk about what's ailing the country and what perhaps can be done better because he is the head of state i would be very glad and very honored to sit with the president. that interview was filmed just 2 days after bobby wine an m.p. an opposition leader was released from jail for protesting attacks on social media it hasn't been an easy road for wine since he was elected to parliament in 2017 there have been treason charges his driver was shot dead by security forces and he

1:24 pm
was a guinea and my team believes that i can base groupies in our generation in this cause . i think our audience are many of them as well believe that as well this is one person who writes in on twitter bobbie one can do great things to uganda and for uganda because he's one of the very few voices of the very many voiceless he respects everyone and the country needs a leader not in love with money not greedy selfish but in love with justice not in love with published city but in love with humanity so a supporter right there but on the other hand there are a few tweets like this says there is a big difference between leading a country and being a voice for those that have been treated unjustly so seeing you as this voice for those who've been treated unjustly some people are questioning whether that means that you can become president of the entire country are you ready for that
1:25 pm
it looks like. ok we're there's a slight delay there but someone is questioning whether or not just because you're the voice of the voiceless you can actually become a voice for the entire country. has been my. raised voices of the common people and here we are with our local do you need to pull don't mean to just shoot. and. so yes now that this opportunity is. so boldly you have to obviously campaign there's no way that you can run for president without campaigning and we've talked before about how difficult it is to be an opposition politician i'm looking here on your twitter page here and you talk about.
1:26 pm

1:27 pm
find a way because reality is on our side i'm just looking here at this tweet here from quito james talking about the difficulty you have in terms of getting on to uganda media and he says this just shows that empty 70 or and 7 as he is known is feeding the people power heat many so i want to play one critical comment we got from someone who takes issue with some of your travels so here is a kind of we got from an out of kampala here's what he told us i've been looking for is a result of concrete on things no issue and now beneficial to his core students. if you serve the book we're going to make a quiz of this so who are the people who are t.v. presenting podium and they feel sorry for people who have given you. probably what would you say back to ear. well i do know
1:28 pm

1:29 pm
a music poster probably why live this is not an hour from before you were an m.p. this is this is art it was last month the 1729000 in copenhagen going here your twitter page denmark see you tonight that was a couple of weeks ago looked ready for action and then underneath that criticism about you not being a proper m.p. or an absentee and p when you are campaigning to be president are you still going to play geeks outside if you can't so you got to be the musician and the politician and perhaps even president you can you do all of those things. yeah i'm a different kind of leader and yes i'm going to be a different kind of president i'm going to be an ordinary human being that goes around my luck the same way other human other citizens do and that will allow me to understand the difficulties that common people go through doing their work. i use
1:30 pm
music as a communication tool because i cannot perform on my music was abolished and indeed all my concerts outlawed i can only perform outside the country and because music is my only form of. gainful employment i have to go around intervening my audiences but most importantly the only opportunity that i get to freely air out the concerns of my people and the only time i get to communicate the plate of my people and i late they are. too late is when i'm out of the country alcohol i use that at any opportunity i get up in line thank you for joining us on the street i'm sure that you will be back thank you very much for your contribution admirably following your campaign with great interest also present 70 you are welcome to be on the stream anytime we look forward to taking on

a dedicated police division was announced along with a special court focusing on rape and sexual assault but the emergency status has just been revoked by parliament and a new sexual crimes bill is in the works so what was achieved from february to now and can other countries learn from sierra leone's radical action joining us to discuss in freetown sierra leone him president of lawyers a group that gives pro bono legal services to vulnerable women and girls and because. she's from sierra leone and hosts a popular show welcome back to both of you i want to start with this tweet. so who says i think gender based violence and sexual assault can only be evaded if the sierra leone government chooses to enforce heavy punishments jail time and implement them on offenders at least this will cause speer and reduce the number of cases so vicki the state of emergency has been revoked does that mean that what
1:33 pm
this person in this week here has wished for came true. no actually no the state of emergency this is because parliament got us to this is probably sensibly the back to the emergency was there to set the ball in motion to get things in place for more action and problem and here came together the remove the state of emergency and then he got down to the business of evaluating sexual offenses aspirates. input from activists like lawyers and other women women the civil society groups but the most important because people need to understand is you can't fix the problem in 6 months at least not a problem ask for peace through this great culture it's clearly you don't. fear we don't have a civil war and i think that one of the things that we forget is that one of the big leftovers or on solved or on the story healed problems in
1:34 pm
our society is that we have so many women who are violated so many girls are violated to rebuild war and that means we have so many perpetrators of violence and nothing's happened right so what i believe because a lot of people ask how did we get here from my car. but what we have is a society where sexual violence and joe that the presence of general mcchrystal many years has gone on shrink people and women have been living in silence and fear and what's happened now because of the response after and walks access to reporting and i consider the fact i read your novels it's not that a part of ok well let's talk about a lot less to i want to have a conversation with martha as well let's talk about what actually was a change even in not giving time of state of emergency that motto what would you point change to say well this is tangible it had never happened without this declaration. so what the 1st thing is that this exhibition of political will and we
1:35 pm
needed that to move things forward so that the people in power can understand that we continue to suffer every speck of the laws we have so we want proper implementation execution and also once he has sentenced him we've got a special court now that has been established by the judiciary since april it deals with sexual offenses exclusively and specific judges have been assigned to that we've got things speedy trials over the past couple of months so there are many more cases are going through the criminal justice system we're talking about over 200 it's compared to the 30 something cases in 2018 we've got more people coming forward to complaint and report on these cases so that's why we have a report that has come out to say that from general eaton now we have about 1000 $681.00 cases that have been reported so that is good enough to push us to the next level which is the bill we have the bill and we have a stiffer sentence in the bill will be never shading and lobbying and advocating it with our parliamentarians to make sure that the steepest sentence in. we want it
1:36 pm
applicable that there is some discretion given to the druggies to set a minimum so we want the law to also have a minimum as much as it has the maximum we have a maximum of life imprisonment now that bill passes into law or come the next session in september so we definitely will get something on the ball rolling but it's not going to be something that will be sought resolved in a in a few months by he said we need more things like a forensic lab we need more research because we have we're talking with talking about the war but we still don't understand what is pushing people to commit these atrocities on women so we need research we under that enemy to be a mind. i don't i think that the conversation really needs to go back into our routine in our community we can all that you know the government has made a commitment we are going to deliver. problem that is punitive right we need prevention we don't want any drug or any women to be or be raped or actually firing . that means that we need to change the relationships between men and women we need
1:37 pm
to change the way women are perceived in the way women are treated and the rights of women period and men need to seek responsibility for their actions in the sense that you don't have a right to a girl you don't have a right to a woman's body right no. suffering for the mother and then making i'm so glad that you thought that because i want to bring this and this is someone who agrees completely with you t.j. says there should be a massive campaign by media houses and also among the various schools in sierra leone educating young people about sexual consent and sex positive conversations that emphasize healthy and safe sexuality so that education at the root of it being the comment from online but i want to also bring in a video comment from someone who talks about this being the beginning of the change have a listen and we're beginning to see what the declaration means because when the government particularly the president and the 1st lady's pompeian which is so. over go is
1:38 pm
actually making a huge difference in communities particularly women and girls gaining confidence that we're seeing more reporting on various platforms not just the face to face with women that go into the family support center or the rainbow thing but also reaching out to companies and i suppose across the country across the world when they want to report. so fast about where to next. so the word to make this passing the bill that's the 1st one make it into law and then a book a thing and educating the populace to understand exactly that we have a sentencing now and you have to be careful but we have so many more laws that we need to address we have an issue we're even though a child it's we protected under the law we have a law about. a parent to give consent to an underage toad's believe that marriage is an adult manner so we're concerned about that so we want absolute proof vision of early child to give you an opportunity to the fullest with center within the
1:39 pm
