curfews are in place and local political leaders are being detained come on haidar has more from. pakistan administered kashmir. after a strong statement by the pakistani military which had an important meeting by the chief of the progress on the military general job wait come our bar draw it was decided that august on would come with a form response to progress on the military saying that day stood by. their freedom struggle and dead bugs on would go to any extent and that aboard the pakistani prime minister would go sort of being on the floor of the pakistani national assembly which aired an emergency session a joint session of parliament and which imran khan spoke about his fears and apprehensions that india was scapegoating august on. the heavy

handed tactics by the indian security forces prompt action from made which would then be blamed on and you would get the pretext to attack by guest on and which gave. it to the international community that this was a grave crisis any chord figuration of this particular crisis it would have devastating effect for india and pakistan but the whole the chinese foreign office also expressing its concern the americans also warrant being bugged on an india to show restraint so as far as progress on is concerned the situation is done except a bit of august on foreign minister who was in saudi arabia for a great maid is also. coming back to pakistan fight is jamil has the latest on developments from new delhi. it was expected because the government has already in the lower house but what was unexpected was monday when it was passed in the upper house with the governments and minority that's because many opposition members came

out supporting the government on this and even in the lower house today when we all knew that the government passed a bill many opposition members came out to support the government on this move some of them saying though in some mild criticism that they didn't like the method that this would be done or the question the legally maneuvering that the government reached to get to this point but still overall supporting this and that widespread support inside parliament and in the public at large as well they were still open to negotiations with china in the hopes of reaching a trade deal further talks in washington are planned for next month but hopes are fading they will be fruitful on monday the u.s. government formally declare china a currency manipulator something beijing has denied the move came hours after china devalued its currency the yuan which caused volatility in the financial markets that was after the trumpet ministration announced increased tariffs on

a further $300000000000.00 in chinese imports last week when that fully comes into effect next month and virtually every product china exports to the u.s. will be subject to extra tax our white house correspondent kimberly halakhah joining us from washington d.c. and the markets were saying are quite jittery what's a sense in washington about all of this currency manipulation label. well the white house is really downplaying the fears of recession the turmoil in the financial markets around the world as we watch this trade war escalating into also a currency war the white house makes the argument and donald trump talking about this on twitter that he believes the united states is in a strong position that as a result of the trade war already that he says companies are moving to the united states that the united states is benefiting in terms of revenue that's being collected from tariffs that not everyone agrees that that has been beneficial for

all americans in fact some are feeling the pain still be economic advisor larry kudlow to the president making the argument that the united states is willing to tough this one out that they expect there will continue to be negotiations with china come september on this escalating trade war that the tariffs that the united states has recently put in place that they could potentially be eased if there is progression in these talks essentially the argument being made by this white house is there are big risks in order to try to achieve big gains. this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have veered to tread. he is determined he's rebuilding the american economy which is going very strong. and i think part of that has to be traded. now the united states says what it's looking for from

china is what it calls quote the right deal in other words it is looking for concerns about currency to be halted also concerns that have been ongoing underpinning this trade war intellectual property theft so these are some of the issues that continue to be stumbling blocks in terms of the united states in the midst of all of this though china has certainly taken action against u.s. farmers the loss in terms of sales from the united states to china in soybeans products like pork has been in the billions so we've already seen that there has been aid that has been given by the united states government to u.s. farmers u.s. president donald trump on twitter promising even more once again saying that he believes that this is a strong position for the united states to be in even as he takes major political risk his re-election counts on a strong u.s. economy many people again fearing that there could be a potential risk recession in the united states even globally if this does not go

the way the united states hopes ok can believe thank you scott heiler has more from beijing. the trade war between the united states and china has reached concerning new territory the u.s. treasury department for the 1st time since 1994 has labeled china as a currency manipulator this is because over the last couple of days the you on the chinese currency has gone up to over 7 per u.s. dollar now that's a territory a symbolic territory that hasn't crossed in quite some time that raise concern that also had knock on effect with markets around the world after that label was issued by the united states treasury department's pushback from the chinese government refuting that claim and also it seemed as though the chinese government on tuesday pump the brakes a little bit because offshore chair trading of the yuan went down below that symbolic 7 yuan per dollar mark so obviously a lot of back and forth this of course comes after what we heard just at the beginning of the week president trump announcing a new round of tariffs on $300000000000.00 of chinese goods going to the united

states now this is something you know there was a discussion last week in shanghai here in china negotiations between the 2 countries that really didn't go anywhere no real announcements until we heard at the beginning of this week and obviously a lot of firing back and forth now obviously this is very concerning territory in this trade war and also there's concern global markets were going down as a result of what we've been hearing there's greater concern what kind of knock on the effect it could have in global economy and some very strong words coming from beijing responding to what president trump was saying they said this is very irresponsible this is the central government here in beijing irresponsible and they're holding the u.s. administration's holding america's families hostage during this trade we're obviously it's going to have a drag on the global economy that's something that china is underlining have to see what happens next but there's been some very strong tit for tat at the beginning of this week. the united states has frozen all venezuelan governments assets measure

blocks all u.s. companies and individuals from doing business with president nicolas maduro administration venezuela's foreign ministry has called it a criminal economic blockade it comes as delegates from more than 50 countries including the u.s. are meeting in lima and the u.s. national security advisor john bolton is part of that delegation president trump has taken a very strong move here imposing these sweeping sanctions putting before block a full freeze on all assets of all parts of the government of venezuela in the u.s. and also imposing sanctions or setting the. situation to impose sanctions on any person or business that goes significant business with the government of venezuela so this goes well beyond anything we've done before and it really is a very strong move by the pros to risible was joining us from caracas to tell us what impact these new sanctions are expected.

by that for donald trump signed an executive order in the whole thing more sanctions in venezuela and this generates mostly uncertainty among the populations here many of the people who have already been leaving the country by the millions because of the economic crisis that venezuela is currently in but many are not sure what's coming next this all of this is happening while there is a conference for democracy in the. rule and it's mostly composed of people that recognize opposition leader one way though as various were left and so impressed and they do not recognize the presidential elections that happened in this country last year countries like russia for example are saying that they're not attending because that meeting they say he's being controlled by the united states that right there is john bolton national security adviser who's also compared venezuela to what they say i wrote states that. iran north korea and cuba and also there he

announced in specified a bit about what the sanctions are all about they're basically banning american companies we're doing business with venezuela they're also whining countries like russia and china doing business when it's with venezuela freezing venezuelan assets some of our the certainly complicate the situation in a country that is already struggling humongous hyperinflation an economic crisis among other things and most of the analysts we have spoken to are saying that in general sanctions do not work in general they hurt the economy they hurt the population and governments remain in place and these are the examples like iran them all got this. what impact. does the sanction announcement to raise have all the current talks that are going on right now between opposition members and the government. well that's where there are currently

ongoing talks between opposition on the government there happening in barbados and norway is the mediator in the stocks there very secretly we don't know exactly what is being discussed we do know that the opposition right now wants presidential elections to elect a new precedent that would help the country out of the current crisis but the government doesn't equal out mother would have said that mandate and in 2025 both the government and the opposition are basically saying that these latest announcements won't affect the stock but they're staying on the table opposition leader while you go it has said that what they're trying to achieve in barbados is a final solution to the current political and economic in this crisis in spite of the united states is very pessimistic about any type of results in fact don't want and has already said that you called off mother will is trying to buy time ok there is a boat thank you. still ahead on. buyer beware a war on the coals for a palestinian businesses in the occupied west bank to stop selling is really
