al-jazeera. hello and welcome to the al-jazeera news hour live from my headquarters in doha with me as a purana coming up in the next 60 minutes a major escalation in the trade war the us names china a currency manipulator as the yuan drops to a new low. a cease fire collapses blames turkey as it resumes in military operations against rebels in the northwest. the u.n.

calls for comment on the india pakistan border after new delhi revokes the special status for the disputed region. and puerto rico a senate calls awful voted to confirm the new governor as legal questions are raised or the his eligibility. has been a new escalation and the u.s. china trade or washington is accusing beijing of manipulating its currency after it lower the value of the you are a stocks have dropped nearly 3 percent on wall street beijing says it will stop chinese companies from buying u.s. farm products let's go to our correspondent alan fischer he is joining us live from the u.s. capital and eventful day in the trade war allan ending with donald trump doing something he's been threatening for a long time. exactly he said on the campaign trail the very 1st thing he would do

on his far stay in office in the white house was the clear china come see manipulator well he tweeted a few hours ago that that's exactly what they were doing a lot in there come see to drop against the dollar to improve their balance of trade with the united states now at the close of business on the markets just a few hours ago a statement which in the treasury secretary announced that the united states had declared china a currency manipulator it could have done it using the 2015 law but they decided to use the 1988 lord to do that and the reason for that it's slightly broader in scope that gives them more reason to call china a currency manipulator so they will no take that to the international monetary fund and say look you need to penalize china because they're not playing fair not playing by the rules certainly it's a move that will please donald trump but a man who is involved in a trade war no finds himself also involved in

a cut in sea war with china and alan just that in itself. is big news it's a big event but it's not the only development on monday we had china lowering the value of the euro. announcing that they're not going to buy u.s. agricultural products. the not buying agricultural products is very key that is because the chinese believe that will hit donald trump at his base because donald trump won a lot of states where farming is a big industry and he sees that as part of his political power structure and so if the farmers are struggling and they have been throughout this trade war with china then they think that will make donald trump keen to negotiate he's already pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the farming industry though trump also doesn't quite understand how tired of so work he believes that china pay them but it's

actually american companies and american consumers that end up paying the tariffs and he's going to increase them more he's going to put 10 percent on $300000000000.00 worth of goods from the 1st of september and people were hoping that there might be some leeway there that the 2 countries could get together and discuss the trade situation and perhaps come up with a deal a but with the latest steps that no seems highly unlikely and we know that donald trump has said that trade wars easy to wine and can be over quickly well the world's markets are beginning to get a bit scared that the 2 biggest economies are facing off against one another like this and instead of things improving between them as a look to get a deal things are actually getting worse and that can all only be bad news for the global economy allan thank you very much for that alan live in washington d.c. . let's move on to other news for now the south korean military says north korea

has fired 2 and identify projectiles office east coast into the sea the launch took place in the province of south wang hey that is the 4th such launch in this than 2 weeks on friday north korea fired 2 short range projectiles into the east sea just 2 days after it launched 2 short range ballistic missiles earlier the north korean government condemned joint military drills between the u.s. and south korea describing them as hostile moves. north korea has generated an estimated $2000000000.00 for its weapons program using cyber attacks that's according to a new u.n. report seen by the reuters news agency it says that pyongyang used increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks to steal from banks and crypto currency exchanges the report was presented to a committee of the u.n. security council sanctions were imposed on north korea in 2006 in a bid to stop funding for its nuclear and ballistic missile program well let's get

more on this we're joined by andrea lang professor at cookman university and he's joining us live from the south korean capital with lenkov always good to have you with us on our dizzier so we'll start with the latest tests as we've been mentioning before in 2 weeks why is north korea doing this now. and so it's very simple and they're very honest about it is because of the joint military exercises they believe that in singapore last year and vance again in the parliament jorm this year late june u.s. president promised there would be normal joint military exercises and it should be it's not merely sticky because if you don't have a society for a long time that kept your nation busy and american forces and sounds good and forces real become impossible but probably it was possible not to have it this year not scary years decided to show that they're not happy about it and they begin to

launch project trials short range ballistic missile very sophisticated level probably capable of begin trading anti missile defense missile lank of the key word being joint military drills the us is a participant what do you think is behind the north korean strategy of putting pressure on south korea these are short range missiles why not provoking the united states directly. yes it's exactly what they want is they want to. be in government and south korean president to feel very very uncomfortable because south korean president is actually quite positive thoughts. mungy and he said ministration would like to have some exchanges but the can not do anything about the company because of the un sanctions. can not be engaged in economic cooperation so they want basically something symbolic and

not scary as door need something like joint concert or football match or reach or will they need money and south koreans cannot deliver it so at dealy but at the increasing pressure on on the expectations there the south korean government will fuel itself uncomfortable and view a lot be even harder for paschall or complete lifting of the current economic sanctions diet in north and if it happens. are going to hear a lot of nies of what swampland down but not now and do you think that that's a strategy that will pay off for pyongyang i mean how much leverage to the south koreans have even the either with the united states or international organizations like the united nations to ease the sanctions on north korea. very little leverage i seems that bears they can be playing

a very secondary role and their major target is of course the united states but north koreans kept massing tools from being too tough on the cells because. they want but can not deliver what north. bed you want that is money and economic assistance sought by being tough to to the sols north koreans are losing nothing they are getting money from other means though i mean there's this watch this news agency reporting that the north has generated the billions of dollars for its weapons program husing cyber attacks what do you make of this how much of a concern will this be to the un the un security council was presented with this report. it's a little murky business i myself my computer is subjected to their they're very frequently a couple of times their man say would say just yesterday they did it again but it's i'm not exceptional pretty much almost various specialists are subjected to regular

hacking attacks and when it's possible to see the source it's nearly always not scary but. a browse the general scale of hacking activities it's always very murky business is advantage is it to be true it isn't 3000000000 i know not some specialists by the way russian special is some of whom are quite positive towards last year used to talk about possible or large scale camp aeration skating bands taking credit institutions they've begun to talk about it 57 years ago but nobody probably knows exactly how much money nor stealing or if you want to be polite getting sources activities there's a lot but does it mean quarter 1000000000 doesn't mean 5000000000 it's a guess work mr lang off it's always fascinating to get your thoughts that is andre lang car live in seoul thank you. now the ocean's news agency is reporting

that libyan war last. force has struck a college in misurata east of the capital tripoli the coastal city is the main base of forces loyal to the u.n. recognized government a cease fire and syria's rebel controlled province has collapsed the government has resumed its offensive with strikes reported in the southern parts of the problems syria's government is accused of violating the terms of the truce and is blaming turkey for not enforcing it the ceasefire wasn't waiting because it started on thursday saying the hardware has the latest from gaza near the turkish syrian border the ceasefire has collapsed the airstrikes have resumed the syrian military is announcement that it would resume military operations in that rebel controlled province in northwestern syria came as a surprise really because the ceasefire seemed to be holding since friday night there have been no air strikes the warring parties have been shelling each other along the front of shelling out each other along the front lines but

a far apart from that there was really no indication that we were heading to a collapse of the cease fire in fact earlier on. on monday. syrian government website quoted a military official as saying that the government would give the rebels until august 16th after the muslim holidays in order to comply with the truce so sudden announcement that this cease fire is now over really raises a lot of questions and we've been speaking to people here in turkey turkey of course. it's a message to turkey this is how it is being felt here because the syrian military statement they they blame turkey saying that its proxies on the ground are violating the truce. a u.s. defense department delegation is and turkey for a last ditch effort to set up a safe zone in northeast syria turkish president regicide everyone has said his country is running out of patience with washington on sunday here else troops would

world of the turkey would be prepared to stage its own incursion east of the euphrates this would be the 3rd incursion into syria by turkey in the last few years but in addition to this standoff between the u.s. and turkey is the dispute over turkey's decision to buy the russian made s. 400 missile system seen as being not compatible with turkey's mende membership of the nato alliance in response the united states hit back by expelling turkey from the f. 35 stealth fighter program a number of turkish companies volved to manufacturing several 100 parts for this fighter we know that diplomatic channels are still open over that dispute but when it comes to the creation of a safe zone will either side give ground when it comes to forging forward with this plan. a pending more head of the news hour including the u.s.

social media for fueling mass shootings in the united states mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger not the gun the proposals been met with disappointment from democrats who have for years sought much stronger gun control measures blaming republicans like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell for blocking legislation. last february the democrat led house of representatives approved firearms restrictions requiring background checks for all gun sales. currently private gun sales are excluded from that requirement the legislation stalled when republicans in the senate pushed back there's little hope of the latest proposals put forward by president trouble get any traction not just because of the party. dividing congress when it comes to gun legislation but also because congress is in recess

on the problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera the u.s. has accused china of being a currency manipulator as the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies intensifies stocks have dropped nearly 3 percent on wall street after china met its currency saying to an 11 year low. the united nations is urging india and pakistan to exercise restraint after new delhi voted to end the administered kashmir is autonomous status pakistan says it will exercise all options and response to that decision. and puerto rico senate has called off a vote to confirm pedro pan do you see as a governor that would now wait on to the supreme court decides on a case concerning his eligibility to receive came to office on friday after weeks of protests forced his predecessor to resign. well let's get more on our top story now the escalating trade war between the u.s.

and china that began last year when the u.s. imposed 3 rounds of tariffs on more than $250000000000.00 worth of chinese goods a truce agreed in december collapsed and then in may the u.s. again raise tariffs while china retaliated with legs on u.s. goods now at the g. 20 in japan in june donald trump said he would continue to negotiate with beijing for the time being but that changed last week with trump threatening to raise tariffs on an additional $300000000000.00 worth of chinese imports well let's get more on this we're joined by dan wiring an analyst in the economist intelligence units access china's service and she's joining us live from beijing very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so talks were taking place most recently in shanghai why did president trump end that short lived cease fire in the trade war and now these plans to slap 10 percent tariffs by september 1st on the remaining

$300000000000.00 in chinese imports because it seems to be that move that's resulted in all the developments we've seen on monday. oh we haven't disappeared to lucian of the trade or is another busy because china still hasn't reached the arms from the us into ip protection. property the joint venture requirement and so all there's a little bit of opening up all of them before in the financial market but it's far from what the us want and do you see. i guess what is something of a maximum pressure campaign by the u.s. when it comes to china strategy and how it deals with a range of different issues and countries do you see that leading to china changing its trade practices. well in a way there is such signals but overall the spirit is still the same us want to

eliminate its trade deficit with china but from this point on it looks very difficult because china is willing to take one mile or 2 that in its currency and that means with my just more of a longer lingering below 7 and that means exact wording from china in sochi many of the u.s. companies will continue to import from china and it lowering the value of the yuan its currency has seen donald trump the u.s. treasury designate china a currency manipulator which the president has been threatening to do for a long time since he was on the campaign trail how worried do you think china will be about this designation what does it mean for for the country. we have expected from last year that china would brooch this 7 exchange rate as a psychological is why. anyone who thinks they can shore transjordan in the future there are wrong perception because the central bank has signaled that it's

willing to take more volatility so the 7 regions that means inevitable to float further like 7.5 or 8 under central government would not let that happen that's why it's good to get your thoughts on this we appreciate your time that is it dan while live in beijing thank you. now a citywide general strike in hong kong turned into another confrontation between police and protesters police fired tear gas to break up crowds which were blocking traffic early in the city was brought to a standstill by the strike action trains have this is disrupted and more than a 100 flights were canceled andrew thomas reports from hong kong. a general strike is what was promised general chaos across hong kong and before the sun even set is what people got.

it was very different early monday morning and central hong kong was deserted many had responded to protesters calls to strike but many more simply couldn't get to work protesters had blocked the doors of subway trains to stop them running and put barricades across roads at the airport absent air traffic control is meant more than $200.00 flights were canceled striking workers had plenty of support shutting down on them to call me which effectively the strike is doing it's not a good idea. world. for one day or you can one week. well. bringing some kind of reminder so you support the strike yes i suppose. but there wasn't a total shutdown and some were not happy you didn't join the strike today why not. because they should be able to work on i think if there is to be distrustful there's a very good place don't stop destroying hong kong who the protesters or the gulf

coast not the government of israel good government i think of is the best hope of course is the best. after a news conference hong kong's chief executive condemned the strike and the broader protests such extensive disruptions in the name of certainty months or uncooperative movement have seriously undermined hong kong's law and order. and are pushing our city. the city we all love. many of us helped to build to the verge of a very dangerous situation. it already feels dangerous protests to stop disrupting transport together initially peacefully in 7 locations across hong kong after some threw stones police responded with a canister of canisters of tear gas. and

some food. to be clear protesters used traffic cones to contain the smoke hong kong's government shows no signs of being able to contain this after thomas al jazeera hong kong. the united nations is calling for sanctions on businesses linked to myanmar's military over what it says is a genocidal campaign against the hunger now miles army control is a big part of the economy u.n. investigators are urging world leaders to impose financial sanctions and say foreign firms doing business with those companies could be complicit in international crimes a military crackdown which began in 2017 has forced more than 700000 muslim or hunger to flee to bangladesh benjamin's walkies a lawyer and southeast asia analyst in bangkok and he says time will tell of

countries take up the call to impose financial sanctions. we've seen for example the situation in north korea and iran albeit for much different reasons international community being willing to enforce sanctions against countries for various purposes and against company for that matter for various purposes will really depend on whether mere recommendations coming from a fact finding mission as opposed to a higher level and he will in fact be taken up about 3 months after the genocide commenced in august 27th the un security council barely mustered their anodyne presidential statement and despite a visit from the council to me i'm our last may may have 28 seen as it is yet to issue a resolution and yet and yet we're looking at a situation where the genocide commenced almost exactly 2 years ago in 3 weeks it will be the 2 year anniversary of one of the greatest if not the greatest international crime and yet the un body charged with with protecting international peace and security has not been able or willing to appropriate. the gypsum

government says a cause that blew up outside a hospital colorado was carrying explosives to be used in a terrorist operation 20 people were killed in the blast on sunday night alexia bryant upholds. the aftermath of law and missionary appeared to be a kind of accident that egypt's government now believes was far more sinister than anyone of the thought of muslims i was shocked and all cars behind me were on fire all the people at the back died do not let anyone tell you anything else and everyone died mostly they were children security cameras captured a cab driving the wrong way down a cairo street and moments like i said just off screen the coc collided with other vehicles outside a cancer hospital. the interior ministry says there were explosives in the camp to be used in a terrorist operation oh i hope it doesn't happen below there was

a sound of an extremely loud blast it was no way to car. crashing the car must have been rigged with explosives it was to the extent where on the other side the apartments were shaking they were taking people out and the other people were melted together it was a strange situation dozens of people were killed or injured and patients being treated at the cancer hospital had to be transferred because of damage to the building i almost couldn't get the parts of the ceiling of the hospital were collapsing and i went out of the room and people were running everywhere and shouting and people were collapsing. president. tweeted his condolences to the victims adding that his government is determined to confront and eradicate what he calls brutal terrorism. his forces are already battling armed groups in the sinai peninsula and have been several attacks against civilians in egyptian cities in recent is last month british airways temporarily suspended flights to cairo citing

security concerns the government doesn't believe that hospital is the target it was more an issue of explosive materials and properly secured and was detonated prematurely but it is of concern of course that this much explosive material was brought into the center and the scale of the explosion last year is the fact that. the bodies were documents and i'll suggest that it was a quite a substantial amount of explosives egypt's prosecutor general's audit and investigation into what happened on sunday night but for now this cairo street has become a crime scene and al jazeera. iran's foreign minister says the real reason the united states has sanctioned him as this is he refused an offer to visit the white house who hold talks only at this mom jobs or if made the comments that a news conference and ted on monday as a bake has moved from. well it was a very passionate and animated foreign minister the press conference went on for
