6:03 am
a situation like this is it the next in line for the governorship would have been the secretary of state but there is no secretary of state that person resigned over 2 weeks ago caught up in the corruption scandal that got rid of the previous governor so what we have now is the 3rd governor sworn in here in puerto rico in the last 6 days as this political crisis really. or at least gets deeper a lot of energy and a lot of quite frankly. uncertainty now but as of right now one of us gets to just. this minute star has been sworn in as governor and the next elections here will be. next year so i have to see here you know i want to ask is the justice better and stern is going to hold on to what is going to happen and. the surplus go situation down certainty affecting people there. yet is i mean let's remember puerto rico is an island it's a u.s. territory and washington who said they could rip hold hundreds of millions of
6:04 am
dollars in. money through this silently until this political crisis is resolved that will affect the people here let's remember it's just 2 years ago that this island was wiped out from hurricane maria and it's still going through right now it's the worst financial crisis you know on the island in its history really so there's a lot that needs to be done and for pretty much the last month now the local government has been absolutely paralyzed during this political crisis and as you can see now it hasn't been good and so this is going to be the real test because this will and has been affecting the people of this silent they need the money from washington d.c. to keep coming in in order to help the people who need it the governor to just step down in the last 15 minutes you are here lucy he said he was going to stay governor
6:05 am
the 1st thing is going to risk right to washington well that's not going to happen now because he's now out of office and we have a new governor slot she what happens next and came in his own thank you very much indeed for that from some one. u.s. president donald trump has arrived in el paso texas where 22 people were killed in one of 2 mass shootings last weekend he's due to meet some survivors of the attack as well as 1st responders and local officials the shooter in el paso said to have targeted the hispanic population living in the border town he posted an immigration document online hours before opening fire before coming to texas trump visits survive as an hospital in dayton ohio the scene of the mass shooting in which 9 people were killed let's go live to rob reynolds who's in el paso 1st times more about what trump is expected to do during the visit. well he is expected to visit hospitals and speak to law enforcement officers congratulating them about
6:06 am
their swift response and that prevented the tragic events of saturday from being even worse than they were and lauren i want to show you something this is what people in el paso woke up to this morning in their their morning newspaper the el paso times you could see the black border there and the giant headline mr president we are hurting in the 1st line of the editorial says dear mr president today is a tragic day to visit el paso and certainly many people do feel that way we've been talking to a lot of people who are here at this memorial outside the wal-mart where the shooting took place a memorial that grows with flowers candles crosses handwritten signs hour by hour getting bigger and bigger and it was so we've been talking to people and we like to talk to one of the folks who's been here carlos wanted to just come right in here
6:07 am
this is carlos guerrero and he is 21 years old and a university student here in el paso carlos you told me before you do think it's a great idea for president trump to visit el paso right now why is that well you know i don't think it's a good idea because you know i was born and raised here so i know the people here and most of us you know we're sons and daughters of immigrants and you know donald trump is constantly you know talks down upon us and calls us rapist and criminals so you know and then also the shooting here the the shooter in his manifesto he used exactly the same words that trump did so you know it's it's it's i think it's an obligation you know of the president come here where there's a tragedy but in this case you know we just don't think he's welcome here well he is here now so let's just do a hypothetical if you had a couple of minutes to sit down calmly with the president what would you tell him
6:08 am
what would you ask him to do. well you know if i were face to face him i would tell him that he needs to take responsibility for his actions you know because his words they do have tremendous consequences that we've seen today and you know i would tell them to make action instead of just sending you know thoughts and prayers you know we need action we need you know gun reform. you know he needs to understand that the things he does have consequences and he needs to stop blaming other people and realize the things that he's done and finally carlos as you mentioned born and bred here in the city of el paso the. your ancestors are latino you identify as a latino person. do you feel that something has shifted in america with this white supremacy that we're hearing and seeing so much about well i don't know if it's necessarily shifted i think you know these you know racism white supremacy it's been here i just think at this time you know it's just being amplified we're seeing
6:09 am
it more you know more out there more broadly you know and i just think that you know it's time for us to take action and we can't we can't just sit back and watch this you know happen or almost thank you very much for speaking with us agree sure that's carlos greer a very thoughtful young structural engineering student at the university of texas el paso so that is where it stands we are now waiting for any pictures of president trump and 1st lady lonnie a trump at the community the university medical center here in paso where a live camera has been set up and so far we have not seen any sign of the president not heard from him we'll keep you informed going also bring us thank you very much indeed. well u.s. president donald trump says his tough stance on china's behavior in global markets will ultimately benefit the american economy washington officially label china a currency manipulator earlier this week beijing has signaled it could strike back

by curbing sales of critical chemicals it's quite hard to take a look at how trade tensions are impacting the world's 2nd largest economy. a new battleground in the intensifying trade war between the world's 2 largest economies currency valuation the chinese government eased its control over the yuan allowing the currency to surpass the 7 per us dollar level for the 1st time in more than a decade that prompted the u.s. treasury department to designate china as a currency manipulator something it hasn't done in 25 years with the yuan worth less chinese exports become cheaper allowing to compete better in the u.s. than across the world partly offsetting the u.s. tariffs imposed on chinese imports but it will come at a cost to chinese consumers they will pay more for imports china's central bank is denying the u.s. accusation saying it's a protectionist practice some economists think china allowing more u.n.

6:12 am
the question is what could he do there the i.m.f. is a consentual organization they're not going to take sides in fact 2 weeks ago they already issued their own statement about china's currency and they said that it is in line with international standards despite the arguments the u.s. says it's still planning for a visit from a chinese trade delegation in september it's got harder al-jazeera beijing. china's has hong kong is facing its most severe situation since the handover from british rule in 1907 increasingly violent protests have been going on for months in the financial hub on wednesday the pro-democracy movement stage a markedly different kind of demonstration a laser show hundreds gathered at the harbor front space museum i mean the lights on the dome shaped building during recent protests both police and protesters have used intense beams of light against each other. rest has been damaging to hong kong businesses and threatens the territories reputation for stability and to tell us

6:14 am
uncontrollable then that will have significant impact on hong kong's credit rating hong kong's current credit rating schools a similar to those of the united states there are a lot better than mainland china's because hong kong is seen as economically and legally independent the process could mean a downgrade either because they make hong kong a more difficult place to do business or because evidence of beijing asserting itself would undermine the independence that many consider makes hong kong special a downgrade would mean hong kong's government and any firm listed here payson or to borrow. hong kong's economy was already sluggish way down by the us china trade war and sky high house prices were beginning to dip. and move away. from that impact of the. political instability so. many

people are going to enter the market in this kind of situation the protests could tip hong kong into recession it's too soon to know the full impact of the protests economic data takes a month or more to feed through and who knows whether the chaotic so you have reached their climax or going to get worse but what has been lost already is hong kong's reputation for stability that will have a cost even if it's unclear yet how great that cost will be under thomas how to 0. so ahead on the. rwanda takes emergency steps to stop a bola spreading across its border from the democratic public of congo. warning is a major food crisis across the u.k. if the country crashes out of the e.u. without a deal. and preparations for tennis is next grand slam i'm not going according to plan the women's world number one it'll explain the sport.

alternative ways in order to find a way out so that it doesn't have an impact on business well as the economy the other talking to learn just like russia and china and even though it seems that venezuela excites related in the west it continues to have the support of like russia and china that they have. problems they say leader. challenges that governments all the people that will be saying that they found. sorry you know to pressure. the president and actually the opposition believes that it lacks a. way out of the parents economic crisis. ukraine's new leader has called on the russian president to help bring an end to fighting in eastern ukraine for them it is at an urge that amid putin to resume peace talks one day out of 4 ukrainian soldiers were killed by pro russia separatists so fast and has more from moscow. it was a long phone call between the ukrainian president and russian president and the 2nd
6:29 am
time that's a linsky the new ukrainian president has called put in since his inauguration in may this year selenski told put in the death of 4 ukrainian soldiers in donbass on tuesday won't help to bring peace to this region the entire russian backed militias who are active in that area for the attack and mortar attacks but the authorities in donbass have denied any involvement and they said there were no militias in that area at that time since 2014 more than 13000 people have died in the violence between the ukrainian army and russian backed militias in the east of ukraine and zelinsky has made it his highest priority since he became the president to bring peace to that area he has also suggested to bring back the so-called normandy group which consists of russia ukraine france and germany and that's something both leaders have also discussed during this phone conversation and both leaders also decided to speed up the process of releasing prisoners on both sides there are
6:30 am
still $24.00 ukrainian sailors in the attention in russia since late last year and they were basically charged with illegally and russian watrous and despite international pressure to release 2 sailors they're still in the tension here a 2nd look at the conflict in march 24th seen just days after ukraine's president was asked it from power russia annexed the ukrainian region of crimea a month later the government in kiev launched what it called an anti terrorist operation against pro russian separatists in eastern ukraine estimated 13000 people have been killed since the fighting began. major conflict was halted in 2015 after a cease fire deal brokered by france and germany was signed in minsk but small scale clashes have continued ukraine russia france and germany last met for talks in 2016 but a definitive pieces so far proved elusive with moscow and kiev trading blame for
6:31 am
more on this i'm joined by research to save rich research fellow at the ukraine former chatham house as rematch for coming to talk to us so 1st what would you make of the timing of these talks. it's interesting to observe why they're happening and they are happening because the president selenski has just won a major victory in the parliamentary elections and has a majority and if you notice what president putin aspersion for ukraine to do and why he's sustaining this conflict is to have a constitution changed in ukraine by embedding the special status for the occupied territories inside ukraine that would in a way prevent ukraine's western integration for them to have a special veto startles of course this is all between the lines we do know what president putin is trying to achieve is to cripple ukraine on its way towards european union and nato so i mean there's quite a different interpretation of the readout of what they what they achieved in these talks and that was even a different question will be talked about because there are the russian press
6:32 am
release of the ministry of foreign affairs talks about ukrainians position ukrainians shooting their positions while the ukrainians are claiming that it was the separatists back by russia that killed 4 ukrainian servicemen and wounded 9 so there's still decides are still talking past each other and that's why it's important to keep a bigger picture in view and the bigger picture is indeed the cues to the conflict resolution are in the kremlin and if russia wanted to do skull 8 it would be possible but this is not the case so what about i mean search has also said he called he would call the french and german presidents what can we expect from them at this stage it's important that the talks at the international level continue because then it gives the the start of the score inflict as something that concerns european and u.s. administrations the crimea was changed by by force but also sanctions something that the west has the leverage over russia are tied to the implementation of means
6:33 am
of course it's right now in the stalemate but it's important to reinvigorate and put facts on the table and to inform what's happening in the us i mean you talk about a stale. oh mate what what's the likelihood of it actually if they do if they don't achieve any progress at this stage of it getting worse and for the conflict to kind of escalate and where do you see this going if it does if they can't resolve it now i think all options are on the table in the kremlin they can escalate cheaply you know and they can have depression inflict quite high economic and political cost on the new leadership in kiev because don't forget what kiev is doing is not according to the plan ukraine is moving in a direction the kremlin does not like and so far the plan to subvert and wreck ukraine is failing so all options on the table that's why the current leadership in gave us to be very vigilant has to report all the acts of escalations and make sure that media and international community is aware what is going.
