because he was the front runner in a bad position because that put a target on his back he fired the 1st shot attacking comolli harris's plan for publicly funded health care but then an avalanche of attacks came back at him harris attacked him on that julian castro attacked him on immigration jay inslee the governor of washington state attacked him on climate change it was one after another and biden did his best firing back every time he was attacked but he was clearly rattled by the end of the debate he even gave his fundraising phone number wrongly in his closing remarks so he may have done his well as he could under those circumstances the polls will show later whether that left a truly lasting mark but it was a rough night for joe biden. and still ahead and their political divisions within the u.k. are ads in the open as far as johnson visits belfast for the 1st time as prime

a dialogue when donald trump announce his candidacy for president after that everyone has a voice. change for democrats to be. used to nominate. inspirational koulis mother nominees joining the global conversation on your thoughts to twitter and. on down to 0. 0 let me take you through our main headlines this hour the united states has imposed sanctions on iran's foreign minister mohammad. the u.s. says he promotes what it calls the reckless agenda of iran's supreme leader back

saying it's all because he's considered a threat to washington's agenda. a 2nd round of debate between the u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls. that was renewed focus on the frontrunner joe biden the former vice president was repeatedly forced to defend his record on health immigration and race. and the u.s. national security adviser says north korea's recent missile tests didn't ought to pledge it made to stop testing long range weapons and says it tested a multiple rocket launcher system on sunday on wednesday. well britain's new prime minister boris johnson is facing his 1st electoral test with a by election and wales on thursday has just finished a tour of the nations that make up the united kingdom and he is promising to keep the union together despite the possibility of a new deal that he has this report from belfast. grabbing the attention of the prime minister or trying to these belfast shipyard

workers are set to lose their jobs their predicament just one of the challenges northern ireland's devolved government here at stormont could be addressing if it were up and running. for its johnson promise to spend no effort to make that happen it's great to be to be here in northern ireland and. clearly the people are no doubt of giving without a government without stormont for 2 years and 6 months so my problem focus is to do everything i can to help that get up and running again the 5 political parties here have been talking since may about how to get the northern irish assembly back in business it was set up in 1980 as part of a peace deal that gave this part of the u.k. a degree of autonomy but issues including irish language rights and access to abortion remain divisive on top of that politicians have wildly differing views on brics it and specifically boris johnson's insistence that the e.u. scraps the so-called irish backstop keeping the whole of the u.k.

closely aligned with the u. rules until there's a trade deal in place and it's very clear that the end is the backstop that has caused all of the difficulties with the withdrawal of aid and therefore that needs to be the subject of focus negotiation and therefore we will support. other parties say that backstop is essential to prevent a hard border they're worried what they call the prime minister's hardline strategy will backfire and see the u.k. leave the e.u. without a deal but in their view would inevitably lead to physical checks at the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. and fission fane them a nationalist party it could even be the push for a referendum on uniting north and south we've made it clear to him that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying i was in respect of a potential crash bragg's this has to include the constitutional question and the issue of a border poll here in ireland. seen feigns ultimate is and always has been achieving a united ireland to make clear warnings to the prime minister is the way he's going

about brics it could make up prospects a great deal more likely for now the action at stormont is outside the parliament not in sight even if the assembly does against all expectations resume its work in the near future the challenge of protecting the good friday agreement that created it could make delivering any kind of breaks it an uphill struggle. al-jazeera belfast foreign ministers from southeast asian nations are meeting in bangkok the trade war between beijing and washington is expected to dominate those talks the 2 sides and that another round of dialogue on wednesday without any concrete progress the u.s. secretary of state by com pale is also due to meet his chinese counterpart later scott heide lawyer has the latest on that summit from bangkok. there hasn't been anything scheduled there's nothing on the books to say post this bilateral meeting between the japanese in the south korean foreign ministers there will be a press statement we're not seeing anything like that i think just really depends

on how it goes and as you've mentioned this is a trade route that has really hit the diplomatic relations between these 2 nations some say the worst in several decades so obviously it's going to be a very difficult conversation to have and it depends on how that goes as to who will say what after the meeting one of the bigger bilateral meetings is between mike pompeo and his counterpart from china now longleat now that's going to be interesting to see what comes out of that what's going to be discussed there obviously a lot between those 2 nations need to be discussed you've got tension over territory in the south china sea that has been bubbling and ongoing for quite some time and also there's a very specific reason it's being held here these talks are being held here because i see on nations several of them have issues with what china is doing like the united states has issues with what china is doing also it's the trade war you know the the negotiations between the united states and china over this trade war that's been going on they had some meetings negotiations in shanghai over the last couple of days no real announcements coming out of that we don't know if the negotiations move forward they're not saying anything or if there's just no movement at all that

obviously is going to be discussed when this american chinese bilateral meeting goes on right now we're expecting to hear some comments from mike pump a as the day goes on he's got other meetings and there are opportunities during those meetings that he might say something but then also at the end of the day he's going to have a press conference with his tie counterpart obviously talking about the issues but clearly he's going to address other things depending on how they went in these meetings today. protest leaders have called for a 1000000 man march on thursday to demand justice for the killing up at least 6 demonstrators the rallies have been taking place ever since security forces opened fire on this protest on monday morgan is monitoring the situation from neighboring it. for the 3rd successive day students in various parts of sudan raise their voices calling for justice and accountability and trials for the soldiers who opened fire on fellow students on monday at least 6 were killed and dozens injured

party one of the opposition parties which is part of the coalition an ounce that it wouldn't participate in talks to form a government. and we as a party will not go down that path or play a role in the transitional authority communist party takes the side of the masses we will escalate the situation in the streets and continue efforts to achieve the hopes and aspirations of our people to bring about radical change. most of the protests have been led by the sudanese professional association it says the communist party's refusal to participate in tulsa negotiations and called for more protests to pressure the military to relinquish power plant was sure since she was toppled all the parties said they would not participate in any of the levels of the transitional authority so the communist party is no different but that does not mean that those parties will not take part in the future government and civilian government has been the demand of demonstrators ever since they took to the streets

in december now they're also demanding justice and accountability for the rising number of protesters being killed while campaigning for change he will morgan. if european. the un says at least 15 ethiopian migrants have died after being stuck at sea for more than a week without food or water their boat broke down in the gulf of aden while they were trying to reach yemen from djibouti the u.n. says more than 1000 people were stranded nearly 150000 migrants arrived in yemen last year doctors and the democratic republic of congo have quarantined 15 people and south kivu province were fears that there been infected by ebola all 15 are members of the same family and they recently returned from the provincial capital city of goma where a 2nd person had died from on wednesday a 3rd case now has been detected there catherine short reports from nairobi. this is the clinic in goma where the man sought help before he died he fell sick days

you're watching out is there and it's our main story the united states has imposed sanctions on iran's top diplomat it is accusing job promoting propaganda for iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei it comes a month after the u.s. imposed sanctions on company responded on twitter and ridiculed the measure. a 2nd round of debate between the us democratic presidential hopefuls has ended there was a renewed focus on the frontrunner joe biden former vice president was repeatedly forced to defend his record on health immigration and race. john hendren has more details from detroit. we started off in both a good position and a bad position a good position because he was the front runner in a bad position because that put a target on his back he fired the 1st shot attacking comolli harris's plan for publicly funded health care but then an avalanche of attacks came back at him

comolli harris attacked him on that julian castro attacked him on immigration jay inslee the governor of washington state attacked him on climate change it was one after another and biden did his best firing back every time he was attacked when he was clearly rattled by the end of the debate the u.s. national security adviser says north korea's recent missile tests did not fire late a pledge it made to stop testing long range weapons that pyongyang tested a multiple rocket launcher system on wednesday and state media reports that the leader kim jong un personally oversaw that launch bangladesh is trying to contain its worst ever outbreak of dengue fever a mosquito borne infection has now been reported in most of the country's districts more than 15000 cases have been confirmed since january and 14 people are known to have died hospitals are flooded with patients putting the country's medical system

under severe strain well those are the headlines the news will continue off to the strain. we. give to people would be a workshop we. apologize for someone it's also terrorizing. the stories that matter. i have any ok and you're in the stream today in hawaii will protest helped save a sacred summit we'll look into the controversy over the proposed construction of a $1000000000.00 telescope at hawaii here and we want to know what do the monuc here protests mean to you share your thoughts with us via twitter or in our live you tube chat.

meineke here is more than just the tallest mountain in hawaii for some native hawaiians the summit represents the realm of the creator but pro-business groups and scientists interested in boosting hawaii's tech industry what monuc here to also house what would be the largest telescope in the northern hemisphere known as the 13 meter telescope or t.m.t. the project has for years drawing criticism because its proposed location is considered to be one of the most sacred sites for native hawaiians for more than 2 weeks protesters have been blocking construction vehicles from entering the mountains access road and i'll choose they why is governor david each day announced an extended deadline for telescope construction to start before september 2021 protesters on the mountain call themselves the or protectors they say their current struggle is yet another chapter in a long history of racial discrimination and the denial of indigenous rights by the

state so with us to talk about these issues and hilo hawaii hello upper show top president of malik here and i know ho or. people who pray for the mountain but as a cultural organization that advocates for the protection of monaco and honolulu david copper and staff attorney with the native hawaiian legal corp also in honolulu a reporter who's been covering the 30 meter telescope story for honolulu civil beat we also reached out to officials in the hawaii government as well as representatives from the 30 meter telescope project to join our program and they said they were unavailable to comment at this time so welcome to the rest of us like to bring in our community right away and start with this tweet we got from christopher chan who tries to put this all in perspective for those who might be new to this story christopher says the telescope can be built anywhere in the hemisphere with roughly the same media logical conditions why on secret land

colonial hubris is what's holding science back not native people were protecting a cultural place and their ancestors so strong words right there kilo are for you what do you see these actions on mt someone called them protests others we call them protections but what do they look like for you. you know this is this is why these version joining all these global networks. you know. they are actually pushing back on the colonial and i'm going to say corporate. structure. pressing humanity. this is what i think it is about it's about raising the standard of aloha and couple aloha because that is our cultural way and unleashing the piece. from our from our cultural. kana you are protesting protecting us money here. pretty much every

day you're not there right now but what do you doing can you explain can you set the scene can you describe what would normally be around you and what the anus well you know there's there's global chiari there from all the different iman's you know i'm just a kid we've just been doing it for a really long time so we're recognised in that way we've been doing the legal aspects as well on many levels but basically when it comes down to it we're all just joining together steyn and couple aloha raising the standard of the law for a whole day and the world every people every people indigenous peoples and everyone's indigenous to somewhere have a gift to give and i think a little has one of our gifts and. it's time for us to unleash that in the world. to a place as a killer has a beautiful way of describing what she's doing but as you as

a reporter have to do tonight exactly what do you see what is going on people lying in front of construction vehicles how are you carrying this story for your audience . as a reporter we really need to you know get both sides but i think with what the protectors are doing there on the mountain it's a very peaceful demonstration it's also a very well organized demonstration that's one of the points i want to hit is that there are utilized. public relations company governments would use but. only when there is a better the. government. showing. their demonstrating. so on the other side of the debate are people like peter peter here is on twitter who says the 38 meter telescope is essential for scientific

scientific advancement and discovery it's not a resort condos a tourist trap strip mall or anything such as that it's a research institution with science under siege around the world my home state should stand up to defend it david you've been involved in at least 3 lawsuits surrounding mounted what is at the heart of them and this point from peter is is this one of the issues. well the heart of all of the legal disputes around the moana came out really is this idea that native pointing culture and rights appear to be foreign in their homeland and like peter. views this as a battle of science versus peace but whether you really it is recognizing that the people from hawaii the people who are holy consider this place to be sacred in their beliefs are intitled who held him in

a high esteem like science like everything else it is not subordinate to this idea that we need to have signs of progress and and really it comes down to holding these beliefs these practice this is being important their constitutional rights they should be honored protected and not just considered another road block reconstruction can you know and i asked him well yes how can i just what is there because you know this idea that it's whole and against science is really a canard and it needs to be addressed here because really what this movement is about is raising indigenous voice we are indigenous also more 1st nation people and our our knowledge our wisdom that this millennia old is a sphere of science and what we're doing here is actually reaching out to science to say science we need to do better because basically destroying the earth

destroying where we're living isn't it isn't the way to go about it you know mama care is is. it contains the biodiversity of a viking because what he's endangered species top of the world every species is either where threatened and or danger up there and plants and animals also protecting our waters so saying yes to development means we're saying no to all of these things so i really want to break that canard because it's it's really not correct i want to show that you've got. yes i think. media also has a role to play in a scene in the national media the narrative is that this is native koran versus science and maybe it's a local extent local media also have a part of play in this i think journalists around the world especially in great need to do a better job of telling that story and i think local media has done a better job than the national media breaking that narrative that it isn't just

lines versus science this is this is a very complex issue there's a lot of moving parts and is a much more nuance and that simple given the examples that nuance. for example. you know you could say it's need appliance versus science but it's not needed florida versus science a lot of the native lions on the mountain monocle are opposed to science a lot are opposed to t.m.t. been some of them say they could be moved to spain in the canary islands a lot of them are scientists themselves there's also cultural issues that play issues of heritage this for a lot of the protesters on monaco this is just the latest event in a long line of unfortunate events that started with the overthrow of the foreign government the way the united states came in it's all these things.

co-leading and what t.m.c. has become a symbol for which is. you know so many of you approach and i hope the dream as. it plays is so interesting that you mention that and collette kilo i also mention that because we got a comment from someone via video who talks about having to choose being forced to choose because of the way this narrative has has come out in media this is a roar a ph d. student in honolulu and here is her take on it i am not involved in direct action on monica yant and watching concern it happen through writing challenging the dehumanizing narrative resistance to t.m.t. action i'm not here. reflects. the winds that are anti-science. us which is how it's been pretty treated until recently in the community and i have deep concerns over this training because

it's affected not only me and my peers to students who worked with and forced people to feel as if they have to take sides when it comes to taking sides kyllo you must understand this struggle because you yourself are a telescope systems specialist you're there consulting talk to us about that dichotomy having to be forced to take sides. i understand this and i do i really appreciate roy's not all her philosophy here and for her to express that struggle the thing is like i said it's a canard this idea that. i mean basically the racism in it is for them when the they call this in court they call this backward looking extremists now those are hot bed words and the irony is is that astronomy itself is based on. looking back in time right looking back towards the origin of the universe when

you look back and then and actually astronomy has the issue to prove that it has modern relevancy because some of the things we're looking out there are say 200000000 years. light years away that means it happened to whatever event we're looking at now all the like took 200000000 light years to get i mean years to get to us so that's kind of the dichotomy we're actually looking at but she's correct in assessing that we're having to defend not only our cultural rights which should be protected not only by the united states constitution even though busy we challenge u.s. occupation here but us. constitutional provisions as well stay provisions that i was speaking about these are privacy you know supreme rights that that should be honored david. yes well yes. that's lost in this

narrative is this is an incredibly large event structure it is going to be the tallest on the island and built in a place which both legally and culturally has traditionally been held to to be the most important to have the least amount of the development of disturbance so you know people are often this ok this is science versus culture i mean this is about protecting the place that is right obliques sacred is you know under the law is a place that should have very little disturbance you know if we're seen just massive structure that can have incredible effects on the environment and the landscape there and that often gets swept under the rug when we're talking about ok this is about science made of points that's not what this is about at all. david this idea of the land being incredibly sacred i don't think we can underline this enough because this is the key to why would you build not just one giant telescope but

multiple telescopes there already there so this is obviously a different way of thinking for native hawaiians and the way that the government are thinking all the university of hawaii are thinking how can you work out that that clash that cultural clash that that understanding as to what this mountain represents and whether there should be even a single telescope there that i don't another one that is being proposed to be built that. well i think it does go back to the native point and right thing culture being you that is more and i think if this was a of normal western burial site or a church that. i think a lot of people would be able to wrap their minds around it and say ok we understand but it seems like almost a across the board reluctance to accept. what i would say a large amount of needlepoint people believe to be true and believed to be secret

important and they're just being looked at as well we don't believe you and that seems to be what underlines a lot of legal cases here where we have lawsuits to just say hey native points have a right to be involved in the court process and to be involved in the development permit in the projects and there are there is a history of cases like that that have been brought because maybe winds are not given a voice when it comes to important decisions that affect white lies i want to say something i think this comes in the united nations frame of rights office of the high commission going to put up their response to ask this was the statement they sent we told them we were doing this show this is like they sent this huge a but they obviously were very concerned about what was happening and how why this sentence junk target me finalizing the rights of native hawaiians and then name the science cannot be justified in any way that goes even further the un special at the 2 on the rights of indigenous peoples regards these actions i.e.

the building all the time to building a t.m. to a monarchy here as discriminatory and racist that's a un rappa tool but how do you how why don't people who live in hawaii how are they saying that they seeing this as racism. i think native hawaiians here that's one of the things that they're looking at is it could be as i said another event in a string of cultural oppression but i think project leaders in this in the way they're justifying it is with the possible you cannot make impact at the post that could bring out that number $1400000000.00 that will come from up the pasco but we with any construction project you never know what kind of actual you can have an impact if it will actually create local jobs and how much dollars it will actually bring into the local economy that's that's things

reporters here are trying to figure out and that's something that we're going to have to wait and see on how actually what was that information readily available because this is this is a land that's like investing of hawaii it's in the public demand and i write in song that someone can just find that information and can i say speak to that war mongering. i just i'm sorry i'm sorry i just want to say correct something which is actually held in trust by the state for the benefit of native hawaiians and the general public its former it's crowned and what they call ceded lands and the one thing i wanted to mention about the united nations aspect is that they don't have the clear and informed consent of the indigenous people to like. and the colonial activity that they're busy bringing forward is something that is the united nations in the world community is trying to eliminate that's why it's not

lawful to maintain that colonial stance and what we're facing now is a colonial corporate structure that is attacking mother earth and trying to dominate that and we're pushing back along with the many global movements around the world. i want to picking up on what you're saying there i want to share this comment from a neighborhood organizer and hawaii who talks about what this means and why it's so important how to listen to it. we have a core philosophy called aloha you know and it translates as love lanham country and it's what kept us going through the overthrow $983.00 how to stop the bombing. and on the mountain a moment it's helped us to build a new community around. with free healthcare and free education free child here in abundance of food and i think it's because people all throughout our community and

internationally recognized in omaha i know is the alternative will turn into the capitalism in the forces which are destroying our earth we need to protect all these places which we believe are secret and i really believe that applies to every . so david you heard his viewpoint on why this is sacred but i want to show you this this from someone watching live on you tube jason who says that t.m.t. has been settled in court now the police are not doing their job protesting is great and fine but they are defying the law they meaning the protesters or protectors david where are we right now is this common accurate. in the sense but i think it also shows a failure to understand what's really going on it's one thing new say that a project has a permit state issued after it for development but is that really what should have been the will of the people and very clearly it is not. the best

way to treat and manage these very important and sacred trust lands which he will have his correct not by law he should be preserved and protected for the benefit of native hawaiians and the public and so it you know just be a one body and the government decided to allow for this desecration of state lands this is not mean that beautiful lines of people who feel passionately otherwise should just be relegated to standing on the side of the road waving signs that well while this secret place it's great that that is not there just because a government agency gave a rubber stamp to this project guess i want to get inside if i if i may i want to show our audience something that i'm sure you've seen but they may not have seen this is an editorial by some of the top executives at t. and take and they write this editorial in july the 28th is written by the executive director and set the tone scientists and i'll say the t.m. t.v.

p flakes dunaway should take a basic 3 very important people something really jumped out at me set it says right down at the bottom whether or not t m t is built in hawaii when no plane closure to wait that to me sounds like we are not going anywhere we don't care what you protest we are sticking around what are you going to do next. well let me let me just point this out. one of our cases is the failure to for t.m.t. to put up the bar on the financial bond which is required from the 1977 moment here i'm going to ask you to keep this simple for us who are just following this as an international audience so just tell us how that if you what are you going to do next. well what we're going to do is maintain our position nonviolence couple oha and we are going to continue to stand to protect our sacred mountain. t.m.t.

really is lacking all of the a lot of the requirements that they need to actually come through they don't have enough money to construct at this time right that's a huge issue they also don't have extended least technically if they were allowed to build when they got done after 10 years they would only have 7 years on their lease for the land so their risk and we're challenging that and there's a lot of challenges has challenges as well and yeah we're going to continue to stand and we're going to continue to move along. i'd like to add it's like halal has spain and. to address the infused theme of the rakli which i hear as hey we're just one telescope is. just one issue well that's how things progress in history it was one secret site into the intent it was the bombing

of coal a lot of it is bombing of various areas throughout by the military there are many secrets sites that have been bulldozed and built upon there are in need of point burial sites that have been dug up and desecrated and we have this telescope and you can take one instance and say ok this is just happening in one place at one time but it's that collective a fact and really the dehumanizing effect that all of these actions have on the native point people so i think it is unfair to say hey we understand what you're going through but we're not it part of this and and i think right now they are the flank ship of it it represents the struggle that indigenous people have to go through. throughout history and at all times ray and blase just time for one more comment i want to bring this then from kurt kurt on twitter who says mona here protesters got this wrong there is plenty of room for compromise i even build

t.m.t. which is needed not just for exploration but safety from space objects and tear down one of the other to facilitate that with the people you've been talking to will tearing down some of the other telescopes be enough to stop this action oh the doctors there at monaco made it very clear that they don't intend to move them there will not get worse. even if you cared about it all scopes. if the project was set up they're going to try to get it up there and you still have a lot more work. would it really change the situation plays thank you so much david thank you know us thank you so much as well explaining why they've been protests going on for so long about not a key here and a giant telescope that is trying to be built there but not quite yet as of the time we have we can i will see you next time and so much.

democratic party front runner joe biden comes under fire in the 2nd round of debate from other u.s. presidential hopefuls. 15 members of a family are quarantined in the democratic republic of congo and fears of a wider ebola outbreak. and political divisions within the u.k. are out in the open as boris johnson visits about belfast for the 1st time as prime minister. so the united states has imposed sanctions on iran's top diplomats and is accusing the foreign minister zarif of promoting what it calls the reckless agenda of iran's supreme leader very fed back saying it's all because the u.s. considers him a huge threat also in jordan has more details from washington d.c. . the u.s. is maximum pressure campaign against iran has claimed

a new target foreign minister zarif american educated comfortable in front of the cameras and the one who negotiated the 2050 nuclear deal with world powers. but the trumpet ministration says the reef is no honest broker and has imposed sanctions on him we consider javid zarif the foreign minister an illegitimate spokesman for iran are and iran itself is a government you consider illegitimate do not well exactly it is a state sponsor of terrorism it is the world's central banker of charism biggest finance or biggest arm are the sanctions come at a time of great tension between tampon and washington whether in the waterways of the gulf or in proxy conflicts around the middle east any assets zarif might have in the us are frozen these approvals to visit un headquarters in new york are no longer guaranteed and the top administration says it's no longer obligated to talk

to zarif since the us quit the iran nuclear deal last year on this point one expert says the u.s. is recognizing the real source of power in town brought on the manager power is not mr rouhani the president is not was as are you the foreign minister it is the supreme leader ayatollah ali home and he was in charge of the armed forces the judiciary the course of after august intelligence agencies ministries and so on and so forth and not not to say that he is a nice old power broker power maker in the country but by far the most important and all the armed forces specially the revolutionary guards that you dish are it saunas so forth are most loyal to it and but another expert says this isn't why the u.s. is targeting zarif the troponin stray shin or at least the faction that is behind this decision is not interested in the pla mysie they want to prevent it at all cost this is an effective measure towards at least making it much much more difficult for us and iran to talk and if the us and iran cannot talk that increases

the likelihood of a military confrontation which is the explicit desire of john bolton the national security adviser even as the us was rolling out its sanctions and else meant as a reef was reacting on twitter thanking the trump ministration for considering him a threat to its agenda. roslyn jordan al-jazeera washington and also jabari has the reaction from the iranian capital tehran that certainly will be just another example the iranians will point to the fact that the united states doesn't really understand how the islamic republic system works the idea that they think by sanctioning the foreign minister they will get to a more powerful person in the system to talk to is really absurd because the foreign minister is somebody who is a very very close to the highest authority in around the supreme leader at the supreme there and sells quite

a lot in common and in the past has expressed his satisfaction with how the foreign minister has conducted these negotiations the word in clear dream and he's thanked the foreign ministry for all their efforts. the idea that by bypassing the race they will get to somebody powerful in the system that will they will be able to talk to is unheard of really it will never happen the iranians chose the foreign minister as the person to lead the negotiations to bleep the dialogue in the international community about it or not or to put it. back their nuclear program in order to open up the country's economy to the world and that is what was passed to the foreign minister but despite pulling out of the 2015 iran nuclear deal the u.s. is keeping one element of it alive for now washington has extended waivers which allow foreign firms to work at iran's nuclear facilities without penalties continue

for another 90 days waivers are the last remaining parts of the nuclear deal still recognized by the u.s. . germany has rejected a u.s. request to help patrol the streets of harm us as tensions with iran continue to mount more than a 5th of the world's oil passes through this area foreign minister he says germany wants to avoid any further escalation adding there is no military solution to the tensions in the of the u.s. want to germany to join the a in france in a mission to patrol the crucial shipping link on the secretary general gen so young so stoltenberg says member states are concerned by the situation in the gulf but confirmed there has been no formal request for support from the military alliance dollars or consumables gratian in the goal of freedom of navigation is of course of great importance for. ready 12 hours several days while as have all the assets in the growth both of those being over the quest for

a nato mission. and other news the u.s. national security adviser says north korea's reason missile test did not violate the pledge it made to stop testing long range weapons says it tested a multiple rocket launcher on wednesday that was reportedly overseen by the leader kim jong un the us president last month along the demilitarized zone that separates the north and south korea a pair agreed to revive talks on pyongyang's nuclear program rob mcbride has more from seoul. the weapons system north korea says it tested is very different to the 2 short range ballistic missiles 1st described by south korean officials on wednesday in an official statement from its state run news agency north korea says that it was in fact a multiple guided rocket launcher system a test that was overseen by north korean leader kim jong un he was said to be pleased with the test

a system which it said would cause inescapable distress to whoever was on the receiving end the fact that it doesn't seem to be a ballistic missile makes it less of a provocation but it also seems to indicate that if a rocket could be mistaken for a missile then it does show a significant advance in north korea's rocket technology and still this is a system that would put much of south korea within range the timing of this test is still significant it comes just ahead of planned exercises between south korean and u.s. forces in its statements north korea made no specific reference to south korea but in another editorial wednesday it has criticized the south for so-called double dealing in being involved in these exercises meanwhile the u.s. national security advisor john bolton has been speaking on u.s. television playing down this test saying it doesn't break with kim jong un's

promise that he made to donald trump not to test long range intercontinental ballistic missiles but as far as the working level talks are concerned that are meant to get under way between north korean and u.s. officials that they agreed on in their meeting on the d.m.z. a month ago he had no news on that saying it was up to north korea to respond that basically it was for them to make the next move. foreign ministers from southeast asian nations are meeting in bangkok the trade war between beijing and washington is expected to dominate those talks the 2 sides ended another round of dialogue on wednesday without any concrete progress u.s. secretary of state is due to meet the his chinese counterpart later the foreign ministers of south korea and japan who are all in the middle of a trade war off their own or also to meet on the sidelines scott heiler has the latest on the summit from bangkok. there hasn't been anything scheduled there's

nothing on the books to say post this bilateral meeting between the japanese in the south korean foreign ministers there will be a press statement we're not seeing anything like that i think just really depends on how it goes and as you've mentioned this is a trade route that has really hit the diplomatic relations between these 2 nations some say the worst in several decades so obviously it's going to be a very difficult conversation to have and it depends on how that goes as to who will say what after the meeting one of the bigger bilateral meetings is between mike pompeo and his counterpart from china now long you know that's going to be interesting to see what comes out of that what's going to be discussed there obviously between those 2 nations need to be discussed you've got tension over territory in the south china sea that has been bubbling and ongoing for quite some time and also there's a very specific reason it's being held here these talks are being held here because i see on nations several of them have issues with what china is doing like the united states has issues with what china is doing also it's the trade war you know the the negotiations between the united states and china over this trade war that's

been going on they had some meetings negotiations in shanghai over the last couple of days no real announcements coming out of that we don't know if the negotiations move forward they're not saying anything or if there's just no movement at all that we see is going to be discussed when this american chinese bilateral meeting goes on right now we're expecting to hear some comments from mike pump a as the day goes on he's got other meetings and there are opportunities during those meetings that he might say something but then also at the end of the day he's going to have a press conference with his thai counterpart obviously talking about the issues but clearly he's going to address other things depending on how they went in these meetings today. china is preventing many of its citizens from traveling to taiwan the decision to stop assuming travel permits will affect people from 47 mainland cities china views taiwan as a breakaway province and tension has been rising between beijing and taipei in recent months when he has more in this from shanghai. in the 1st half of this year more than $600000.00 people from china visited taiwan so this decision will

certainly have an economic impact and that seems to be the motivation behind it to apply pressure on the government in taiwan led by president sighing when who very much opposes the one china principle we have the election to coming up in january next year and there's no doubt that the government in china would prefer to see a more pro beijing person in office in taipei the decision also comes after some fairly provocative events recently we had the latest sale announced by the united states to taiwan worth more than $2000000000.00 that certainly angered beijing there was a visit also by president sighing when to some caribbean nation some of the few countries that still have diplomatic relations with taiwan on her way there and back she stopped off in the united states words which also angered the government in china and the government.
