as north korea but beyond that really it's china right i mean it's you know north korea is always sort of like very far behind economically right it's nuclear weapons change that a little bit but you know north korea's fundamentally a pariah state and isolated it's really china that's on the rise out here right and you see this discourse in the united states with a trade war and if we're going to actually sort of counter chinese have gemini or domination or whatever in the next 20 or 30 years we're going to need coordination among allies out here and that means front and center korea and japan so in the short term the winner is north korea but in the medium term of china. still to come here at al-jazeera a u.n. investigators say the scale of sexual violence against the brain injured by the me among military shows genocidal intent. hello there also sunshine across much of the mediterranean and notes about picture way across much of central and northern europe yes it will storms coming through

primetime to take a look at the top stories here are the french president emanuel says unprecedented fires in the amazon are an international crisis he's calling for urgent talks at the g. 7 the brazilian president. has pointed the finger at foreigners and rights groups saying they may be the ones to blame. iran's foreign minister is set to meet the french president in paris for talks aimed at salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal leave said on thursday terror on is willing to work with the european partners after the u.s. pulled out last year. japan's prime minister says he expects south korea to work on rebuilding trust after seoul ended an intelligence sharing agreement between the neighbors it comes amid a trade route under dispute over compensation the south koreans who were forced

into water on labor by the japanese. the hong kong causes indefinitely extended a ban on protests at the international airport this comes ahead of more planned rallies over the weekend hong kong's airport authority a few the injunction last week after mass demonstrations led to the cancellation of flights for 2 days meanwhile pilots and cabin south of hong kong's flagship airline cathay pacific a calling for the end to what they call white terror referring to force the nancy. firings and phone searches by management on staff based on their support for the anti-government protests adrian brown joins us live now from hong kong now it's 3 months that the protests is have managed to maintain their presence on the streets how do they propose to go further adrian. well as you pointed out martin hong kong is bracing itself for another weekend of

protests with no end in sight to this protest movement that began almost 3 months ago we have seen more demonstrations on friday this time from accountants a reminder that white collar workers remain largely supportive of this self-styled pro-democracy movement which of course is leaderless and also we're going to see a gathering by christian groups on friday evening a reminder of the sort of spiritual dimension of all of this but you touched on the one thing that really has been on the shop focus today and it's what's going on in corporate hong kong in particular the airline cafe pacific which has been warning its stop that it won't tolerate any support of the pro-democracy movement and has warned stuff that even their social media accounts will be subject to scrutiny and that's remember several stops have already been dismissed including 2 pilots so there is a real concern i think in corporate hong kong this is going to spread to other

major corporations in this former british colony that have time to the mainland well to talk more about this so-called white purge and indeed what else is happening in hong kong today i'm joined by bernie long from the civic human rights front how concerned are you now by what's going on in corporate hong kong because it does seem that the one country 2 systems formula is over in the boardroom well i totally agree and is ferry sad to see what has what is happening in cathay pacific because it is a ferry backup aeration international cooperation and hong kong people have one is immensely proud of it and it has a very strong union but how however we see that the workers union of one of the leader of the work has unions had been dismissed and even the c.e.o. was a forced to resign from the cooperation and this is how. what a corporation facing a bully by the chinese government and i urge not only corporations in hong kong but

also globally to think one thing is that are you standing for they spoke only on are you standing up against these kinds of bullies i think it is a time to make decisions hong kong's economy is her seeing the actions by your group and others like you are contributing to that are you satisfied now that you have succeeded in one of your primary goals which is to basically wreck the hong kong economy well i believe. the only thing that is hurting hong kong economy generally and also including tourist industry is that people from around the world do not think hong kong is a safe city when they hear that property rights that personal safety cannot be protected and if the extradition be what's passed it it's what happened so what we're doing now is trying to save home combe in order to. keep this safety but you're asking the people of hong kong to bear a very heavy economic price won't you people are going to be laid off soon shops

businesses are going to close because of your actions well i disagree 1st of all it's more important for us to have a data system instead of a dangerous system and 2nd of all if we have. consequences that you have just mentioned it would be temporary what we're trying to do is trying to do about to future to build a better future so a better future if it means people losing their jobs in the short term well i only see people losing their jobs because they have spoken the truth because they have spoken against a tyrant but not people in the general not who shops are reporting a big downturn in business business is down by 20 percent in the center of hong kong so it is hurting whatever you say well if you see their. sports from the from local news you can see that if you ask spoiler businesses what do you think about

protest do you think it's hurting our business summit say yes it's hurting but it's important for us to content a protest because it is for a better future of hong kong and this is this protest is trying to save hong kong as a life or death matter of the city because it's about basic human rights as a front about freedom is about democracy will be long thank you very much for that is a reminder again of martin of just how you know polarized hong kong remains right now and of course the one question that no one can really answer is how is this all going to wind back to you right adrian brown there live in hong kong thank you the u.n. investigators say the scale of sexual violence by the meum our military against the ranger was so widespread and severe that it demonstrates what they call an intent to commit genocide a fact finding report says me in march soldiers routinely and systematically rate gang raped and sexually abuse women children men and transgender people the un says

those responsible should be prosecuted on charges of war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity the report also mentions sexual violence and persecution in the cities of catchin and shan targeting other ethnic minorities radhika coomaraswamy was on that u.n. fact finding mission in miramar she says sexual violence was a key strategy used by the military. the tatmadaw used sexual violence as a tool of their military tactics it is very much a part of their tactics it's what is called the full cuts. but in especially in the rowing areas what happened is that realistic extremely violent extremely brutal to the point that we said bad it showed a kind of intent to destroy in whole or in part of

a population so i think both were shocking the fact that it was done on some scale but there are also the fact that at the one committee may have been down with the intent to destroy the whole party we have actually seen satellite imagery of the areas these people were supposed to return to. building as everything has been bulldozed not even a tree standing new structures have been built which are i would not say really worthy of inhabitation in that sense we have to make sure that when they return they're not only safe but they also have a pathway to citizenship and that all these framework of very discriminatory laws which we call appetite like should be removed. a deadly crisis is unfolding in the central region of nigeria thousands of people have been killed in decades of

fighting between ethnic groups now another crisis is added to the troubles of those displaced by this conflict where a mom or dad a report from occurred in benway state where women in camps live in fear of their safety. accompany the city or is one of dozens dotting the expansive been with state in central nigeria its inhabitants are just a fraction of 171000 displaced across the state by the end going violence between tribes in this part of nigeria. while the comp was supposed to be a refuge for the people most don't feel safe here anymore a sharp increase in rape of women and young girls is deeply wounding this community . and. i fear for my daughters there those who send their kids to go work in the city but not the current situation is too dangerous for people here complain that become so widespread that women can no longer live the compound

accompanied a missed international in a recent report detailed how girls as young as 9 and 10 years were being taped at times by the very security personnel charged with protecting. news that a 10 year or displaced rape victim was delivered in a new a few days ago has sent shock waves across nigeria we met the girl and her baby girl at one of mccready's hospitals. look to educate michael help with the delivery of the 3 days of labor we need to do this is a recession because there was no we liberal enough it was for so we don't miss much to me but some units of blood on the internet are turned into even if this social worker was one of those who brought the girl to hospital and told us that she grew up an orphan and was raised by her grandmother but was forced to flee how home when

her grandmother and called tried to force her to marry a blind man that is when she fell prey to the man who raped her. despite what she's been through the young mother already has dreams for her baby. i don't want my daughter to go through the same suffering as i did when she starts walking both of us will go to school. police say they were arrested the man suspected in her rape last december but they have this plea for families of rape victims punishments for a friend us can serve as deterrents to orders intending to do the same but when family members turn to make good shit to kind of receive more news from from suspects all to try to prevent prosecution family members can come up to help course let the prosecution process. the plight of the little girl prematurely propelled to motherhood is fast becoming

a rallying cry for those seeking actual in nigeria's displaced peoples comes many hope that her case will spark the authorities to take action too and such horrendous crime once and for all 100 well just 0. 3. is or is present president has given political leaders more time to form a new coalition government said geo matterless says he wants a clear solution quickly the coalition in power collapse and prime minister has every country resigned this week the president says any new government must be able to win a confidence vote in parliament or it will be forced to call an election talks continue next week u.s. president donald trump has scrapped a plan to freeze more than $4000000000.00 in foreign aid the decision follows a strong outcry from both republicans and democrats administration officials were

al jazeera. where ever you. is the united arab emirates playing a game of double bluff in yemen's war is accused of helping separatists in the south while fighting to keep the country together how long can it remain part of a sandy left coalition battling rebels this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. saudi arabia the united arab emirates are

supposed to be on the same side of the war in yemen but tracks are appearing in the coalition the united arab emirates has been accused of helping southern separatists who want self rule the u.a.e. trained fighters in the southern transitional council there is to see to fight with the rebels but earlier this month the s.t.c. took control of other than the seat of a saudi backed yemeni government and it has taken over a government matric arms in nearby at the u.n. the u.n. special envoy is warning that yemen could for bought the government is blaming the u.a.e. for triggering the crisis. and the matamata who lost the middle market knob what the temporary capital in aden and the government institutions witnessed in the past few days was an armed rebellion against the digital my government but what is called the southern transitional council and its security belt forces with financial they just stick and media support of the united arab emirates. the

yemeni government has called on the u.a.e. to stop backing the separatists ministers have also been demanding an end to the wall in the sandy led coalition states minister abdul honeys a mere tweeter that a letter would be sent to president al gore will also hardy requesting just that the government has denies backing or funding the secessionists. let's bring in our panel in selma we have truthy journalist salable haiti and in the u.s. state of nebraska via skype. a professor of the university of children in london a yemeni political analyst of the middle east and north africa case for the international ngo reprieve welcome to you all still behind he would like to ask you this. how do the truth is see the latest deepening rift between

the. united arab emirates. head of the house he. has said that in a speech a 3 days ago that was happening and hayden is exactly what. partitions and has been saying from the beginning of the war and it's a clear case as he said to really the saudi coalition wanted from yemen and for me i can see it actually it has actually finally exposed the so-called legitimacy which actually did not exist before then we know that had the government is mainly around as well. from. the other hotels and most of the time there are not allowed to operate in the south we remember when the former prime minister of haiti visits across the island he was forced by the united out of him authorities to leave the cutlass so what happened actually is not

new. clashes has been happening in aden between those sides before but now it has been actually clear as well for the international community that this war and the coalition war against yemen and the blue k. that have killed hundreds of thousands of yemenis their main goal of that i believe is to separate yemen and i just want to add one thing that there. most of the day will actually there are blame in a night out of image it than there are forgotten that the saudi is the lead in this coalition and so you could actually have stopped what had been the aid and so you could have actually. asked had it to go then because it's called that the ability. of yemen but i believe that united out of imminent and so he again and they do this actually at the gabba because they want separation of yemen and is as we say is a ok kind of u.k. policy would say is divided and conquered when those party will keep fighting and

then this means that the united out of it will have the time to control strategy like a squatter island by them and that's today and others. as well as focusing on our government. is of the view that the growing political divide in the south exposes the fact that the government is just a window dressing. the real power lies in the house of the saudis and the embassies who have different political agendas in yemen what i think he faced obvious we all know that from the get go had he was you know just a cover just you know something as a smokescreen that conceals real politics that the saudis and the united arab emirates he was never a player like an independent run he cannot come with an independent position or stand these or be anything that has to do with yemen and it and repeating what the

saudis have been telling him to do so means like the joke to be honest and now are what won i disagree with. you that the saudis were actually on board i think it was the united arab emirates who drove this blue and the saudis have to kind of comply with it because they need the collison. the united arab emirates they can't afford to be isolated in all before the international community so a. united arab emirates is driving everyone and this part of the world and yemen and the we know the objective is to petition the emeritus of lobby in particular. the crown prince the home of them say he wants to separate said in yemen to be an independent country so that he can control it. the saudis have a different gives so i would say that what we witness and madden right now is

a kind of it kind of diction between 2 agendas 2 objectives the yemeni saudis now the united arab emirates have had the upper hand simply because of this and afford to be left alone in this coalition of. is has to moving now to distance himself from the u.a.e. and would that be possible i think. most officials within the imminent government have been pressuring towards that direction now if he distanced himself from the u.a.e. which i mean i think the statements the the yemeni embassador to then are nations made very clear it will need to be carefully coordinated with the with the kingdom of saudi arabia because the main conflict with the who sees stand still exists now it's had 02 guests this situation on the ground is not that quite that quite simple

. you need everyone in yemen even for a political solution we need the yemeni government to preserve itself until a solution comes comes forward and that's simply because even if you view the latest statements by the world bank by the i.m.f. all of them have said that there has been a positive improvement in the anomic measures towards the repayment of salaries so as to the delivering of services now 70 percent of the public sector has are being paid by the by the yemeni government and you need for that to improve yes it is a not the perfect government yes there is a lot of. discrepancies and a lot of problems facing. facing that but i think the cost of the collapse is much much higher than the ability of anyone inside yemen at the beginning. to hold and then even for the saudi arabia to hold the you know the to bury the

consequences and the fallout of such a such a such a such a collapse now i think maybe in the discussions right now is can they find the last man. deal with the u.a.e. that would satisfy the needs of the usa yet preserve the presence of the government maybe but definitely the the relationship between the us. i think it made a turn that i don't think it can recover any time soon ok for saying the truth is control a huge area that stretches from side on the border with saudi arabia all the way to the oscars of. the had an intense in 2014 or 15 to further extent that influence to work south of the country from the truth of perspective do they see what is happening now in the yemen as the beginning of the end of an era at the

beginning of a new one yemen would never be the same again it would be a fragment is country yes this is exactly how they see it because at the beginning of this war a. gun does all the coalition has been saying that they want yemen unity they security council 2216 insisted in yemen unity of the world. the gulf initiative insist on yemen unity and always in any told saudi. government always requested that. part of this is an must accept at a suspect u.n. security council and as well the goal for initiative but on the other hand it's clearly what's happening now in yemen is the beginning of this. game to separate yemen to seize yemen a key area and this is exactly what the saudi wanted from the beginning and i can just add that if the saudis really think and the government think that what the.

united arab emirate is doing in the and south of yemen is against the main goal of the coalition which is better they can just exclude a night out of it or they can. those that had the quest of the war to come into yemen to do to distort what he called his legitimacy to fight what he called the coupe why he's not doing the same about what's happening in a that hasn't come with even a single statement this show that the saudi actually is will behind and have given the green light to united out of image because they believe it could they could have stopped that with the fall called united out of image but. actually we have seen yemen has been destroyed and missed out but i say bad. it is not but. saying who is to blame is it the saudi but most of them actually are you know in say united there out of him and with we go into the blame issue we would never be

able to stop him because everyone is being the other for committing atrocities of making mistakes and this brings me to ask has said about the confusion that hussein ability has been talking about which is you don't really get a sense of clarity about what the key players have in mind or the endgame when it comes to yemen if the saudis are saying we'd like to have a united yemen the emirate is seen as supporting the secessionists in the south would like to break away from the north which is in contradiction with the saudi agenda of they on a collision course saudi arabia the u.a.e. oil is just a carefully manipulated political gamble by the 2 countries i think they are they have as i said from the very beginning the different agendas when it comes to yemen the saudis which given by probably a broader strategic aim that's how to shift iran and as they see the whole the as you know kind of run out course for the iranian influence in the region so this now

does have a clear objective from the get go on the amenity america actually got and will because they have a different agenda they used to reject him as he already. in order to implement their own honesty in yemen. and that's why they stablish kind of militias. in yemen like they become the transitional council and all of these forces security forces that works with it are within it and it is embedded so i think. he has a clear objective that is the comic but at the same time they want to emasculate yemen and divide yemen into 2 countries this is better for the. ambit in the question is saudi arabia saudi arabia is being isolated recently as it seems like as if everybody's leaving solitary be everybody is just jumping off place on a sinking boat and so the last thing that the saudis want to see is that the united

arab emirates pull out from yemen from the coalition and they can to probably tragically agri with damer at the position and i think in this situation the united arab emirates is actually blackmailing the saudis as the saudis need them more than anything else so this is the problem here the problem is not as. this is you know do the protests misunderstand is that there's a kind of concerted agreement between a kind of a property of the saudis and the united arab emirates i think it's deeper than that they've actually in effect the division within the same college the saudi did caution is collapsing in a way or another and the only way for the saudis to keep it at least the appearance of a coalition is to go along with the united arab emirates. from a content move in yemen but you heard what the missile hit he said basically about what happened in 2000 to 15 when president had he said we need international

support because the hope is of an occupying force but now with the amenities of stepping in providing assistance to the session is in the south present does not seem to have the courage to say this is themselves have ended up becoming. occupying force in yemen i mean they can i mean they have in fact they have already said that there has been official statements issued by the ministry of foreign affairs by the yemeni embassador to the united nations in the security council briefing itself they held the the. quite clearly responsible for the. the events and they called it a coup in inside inside aden now to make a final move i think that's again i think this should be carefully coordinated with the with with saudi arabia because effectively it will become then the

responsibility of saudi arabia to try and help to you know to. cover the gaffer that was the vacuum that will be created if united arab emirates decided just to leave or to leave to leave tomorrow the the the regarding i mean every party has a has a responsibility and a percentage of blame blame into what would have happened in in in yemen so i'm numb not claim that anyone is is is purely purely. innocent including the yemeni government including the saudis but definitely if you have a force like the u.a.e. is supporting an extreme succession this movement that will definitely explode sooner or or or later ok and regards with a who says i was a member of the national dialogue we were very close or friends and i think we still anyway are going to head towards

a referendum and elections to end the conflict and their whole coup against the yemeni government did drive us into this conflict that the 1st phase of this is going to be my question to her salable hater saying many people say how does not mean for the ministry for the coup in 2014 with these took over the capital some are not of these tragedies and authorities would have been committed in yemen now my question to you what do you think the truth is next move will be if southerly. which looks more obvious now the south decides to break away and reinstate its own republic what would be the possible scenarios for the who has. the overtures has announced many times that they are ready to. all yemeni parties without any influence of the outside specially from the saudi backed forces and i believe that when united arab emirates. have leaked information that they are withdraw in from yemen who have said that

a clear message by fatah getting. out of the base in south of aden this mean there was a message to united arab emirates it doesn't mean that your own personal troops leave yemen about what they call used tools or your forces if they stay in the south if they night out of him a right to separated the south without any a full agreement from all yemenis party we had the national dialogue we have to come back to it but. bin omar and the forum i invite you haven't have said that they were in the washington post although the wall street journal can you actually . see how it is from the side we know but we know that sources that i have that will acknowledge that i was publicly stated we know that i'm just asking you a prosecutor what can the hooty theists do if the soft decisive break away you control areas that's all the way towards thais but that's it you culpable for

towards the south what are the practical options for you very briefly please. yemen is one country is united country and i didn't think they would accept any. of the south anything that has to come it has to come through a full agreement from all yemenis because yemen is a local denies one country in the united nation and they believe that they lied nation and the international community must actually support the unity of yemen as they do now they say they are supportive of that. heidi you know i didn't think that anybody can accept that hasan you have the pro independence sentiment gaining momentum in the south of the country people think that we have had enough of many many years of exclusion from the political establishment and this could be our historic moment to have our own independent state against the backdrop of this

how do you see the future of yemen. when i think it's nothing back to gloom and doom of me and given what's been happening over the course of 5 years. apparently the yemeni people are actually disoriented like a lot of them for an independent 70 m. and would have seemed like a president that will likely be transitional council but hold it as well actually and that's making things easier for anyone in the region and particular for the yemeni they staged. in $24.00 team and they are seen by wide area many population and by the region as an extension of iran a proxy for your own so it is surely i would say that the future of yemen would be decided by that by internet forces but by external one and here i'm talking about iran and saudi arabia without that kind of region agreement on deforming and shape of dissolution m.e.m.

and will has to be to degenerate into more mayhem and anarchy you mustn't a 1012 national dialogue that was the platform that was established under the just of the united nations to try to transition to was a genuine democracy where people were debating what kind of republican would like to have the yemen was it is going to be federalism or something else do you think it is still possible to go back to a negotiating table where the sunni islam where the huth is where the secession is in the south what all the components of the yemeni society can still negotiate a political way out what is happening in. no i think we don't have a choice i mean either this conflict will drag for another couple of years 5 maybe 10 years and then we'll have to sit together again and then talk and discuss or way we can do that we can do that now in 2013 we saw that there was an opportunity and that's why in 2014 we urge the fifty's and not to go south because simply you

cannot impose unity on everyone by force and simply as we telling this assertion is you cannot impose secession by by force there is a negotiated. goetia to the agreement there is a clear platform that welcomes everyone and that is still and that is still the case will not be the president for forever all what he wants from the government is to preserve itself until the coming elections once we have a coming election then everyone will have its truly and real representation and we end this kind of a militia rule that you know every party rules much of the country you say the these are always welcoming political talks but when you listen to a dominican who for example he gives you the impression that he's acting like somehow the supreme leader of the country he's above the political establishment where he says he's almost sacred like a religion is it possible to see these reinvent themselves and accept

a political solution where their role will diminish the political and military influence we have to diminish to accommodate all the other key players or this is a red line from a healthy perspective. i mean of course maybe you can see him now as you said because we see that this time that. their main focus is the lead in yemeni forces in sanaa to fight the saudi backed coalition. hosey but the sort of the who the when they agreed on the national dialogue everything has been explained in the national dialogue and of course the medical who the he will be still the leader of. the whole of the un as the whole if they go into any told mean they can but anything they want on the table because it is a negotiation table and that's why they have been calling in every speech and all the overture here in sanaa they have been called into

a dialogue between all yemenis they have they must come to the table to talk to each other and as well that should be another dialogue between the un saudi arabia if there is any feed from saudi they should speak directly to this but still so they actually don't want to do that because they say they see it as a failure if they do so but i believe that if they don't do that the war will continue but we see on the other hand that the unsubtle of the road the onion i mean. to get in now the upper hand by thought of getting deep inside saudi arabia so. they may lose unfortunately we'll have to leave it but it's hope that yemeni wisdom will prevail one day and war will come to an understandable reason but. thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program today. and thank you for watching you can see the program again and its time by visiting our web site. for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com a.j.

rain forest this is just one of several 1000 fires currently consuming swaths of the brazilian amazon and the world is watching we're very concerned about these fires both for the immediate damage that they're causing and also because sustained force is crucial in our fight against climate change the amazon produces 20 percent of the world's oxygen that's why it's called the planet's lungs but environmentalist warn if the burning continues at this rate the rain forest will transform to a landscape resembling the african savannah and rather than produce oxygen the antidote to global warming the former rain forest will humid carbon instead in brazil sister e. was soon difficult situations but for the 1st time we have this kind of situation that was created almost with official encouragement from the government environmental groups a rancher's and log or started the fires to clear the land. they blame

brazil's president. as a candidate he promised to give businesses access to natural resources to restore the country's economy as president he's gutted funding for brazil's environmental and foresman agency and he now says without offering evidence that environmental groups set the fires themselves the world. now the amazon is bigger than europe how can you fight criminal fires in such an area it is clearly criminal how can you do it you need to catch them in the act otherwise there's nothing you can do now non-governmental organizations are losing money money that came from germany and norway they are unemployed now so they are trying to overthrow. the hash tag pray for amazonas has been trending on twitter. and other world leaders have reacted as well our house is burning literally tooted french president emanuel

a french proposal and that's what seems to lead him to paris well in paris also is the dean barbara correspondent the dean what do we know about this french proposal . well martine the proposal is due to be discussed between president marc cohn his foreign minister enjoy a little deal and mohammad javad zarif at the elysee palace sometime in the next few hours we're not exactly sure in the early days being fairly reticent about giving out any details there's no there is no press conference expected but we do know that the noises from both sides are fairly positive on thursday as you said mr zarif on the scandinavian tour he was in norway when he said that president rouhani was sending him here to paris to look for to look for grounds for understanding saying that there were all already points of agreement between iran and paris where they do see eye to eye is that everybody that was a signatory to the j. c.p.o.

way in 2015 the nuclear deal has to meet their obligations now of course iran's argument is that the u.s. has broken its obligations by unilaterally walking away from of the agreement last year and re imposing sanctions on iran but also on companies that do business with it president mccrone we understand is offering iran either the prospect of softening the economic sanctions or some kind of credit line so that it can start to at least temporarily export some of its oil which might hopefully open up a window for a return to the negotiating table and take it on a collision course with the americans i mean how confident are they at the moment what's and what does it feel like way you are in paris in terms of optimism.

well i think that france is being very determined trying to seize the initiative and push back against the u.s. the u.s. has criticized france for sending mixed messages to iran because it's sent diplomatic envoys to tehran to discuss the nuclear dossier president mccraw obviously is well aware that he will he will he wants to have something to offer the other g 7 leaders at the upcoming summit india it's this weekend he admits that the g 7 is divided over the iran nuclear issue but also those tensions in the gulf which have seen oil tankers see plays into the impetus to get signed some kind of movement on this president marcos says we shall see how the americans are ready to move forward after friday's meeting but there's no indication so far that either president trump all his national security adviser john bolton will be a tall receptive to moves to soften those reimpose sanctions against iran until

they have met their obligations for example by putting the production of enriched uranium back within the agreed limits they deem barbara live in paris thank you japan's prime minister says he expects south korea to work on rebuilding trust after seoul ended an intelligence sharing agreement between the neighbors it comes amid a trade and a dispute over compensation for south koreans who were forced into wartime labor by the japanese government pride reports from seoul south korea says it had been hoping until the last minute to avoid pulling out of the pact blaming japan for what's now become the most serious deterioration in relations in decades young japan created a green change in bilateral security cooperation we have determined it would not serve our national interest to maintain an agreement to exchange sensitive military

information. the intelligence sharing agreement was set up 3 years ago to counter the nuclear and missile threats from north korea its breakdown comes at a time of increased missile testing by pyongyang what anymore because the south korean decision completely misjudges the current regional security environment it's nothing but a disappointment and i find it extremely regrettable disappointment to from u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o who's called for the 2 u.s. allies to settle their differences relations have soured just as regional rivals china and russia seem to be moving closer together militarily this dispute began with a south korean court ruling in favor of victims of forced labor used by japanese firms during the 2nd world war japan retaliated with the restrictions on the export of materials and components needed by south korea's high tech manufacturers. south

korea then responded with a campaign to boycott all japanese goods and cancel holidays there. it's now started another campaign to support south korean firms hurt by this dispute this company making and fresheners had spent 3 years trying to break into the japanese market and was all set with 3 major orders which have all now been canceled i look back as citizens we need to support our government's policy given the current mood with japan will need to find an alternative solution for now exports to japan are difficult. this deepening trade dispute comes at a tough time for south korean exports is already caught in the middle of the trade war between the us and china trade figures show exports this month are down more than 13 percent compared to the same time last year extending a slump that's gone on now for more than 8 months many here fear the next move by

either side in this continuing tit for tat will only be further deterioration robert bright al-jazeera sold. hong kong court has extended a ban on demonstrations at the international airport this comes ahead of more planned protests for the weekend hong kong's airport authority pursued the injunction last week after mass demonstrations led to the cancellation of flights for 2 days meanwhile the hong kong federation of trade unions say started airline cafe pacific are being targeted by the company for supporting the protests the unions say they have been forced enunciations phone searches and dismissals well adrian brown has been speaking to barney long from the protest organization civil human rights front she says cathay pacific employees are being bullied. is ferry sad to see what has what is happening in cathay pacific because it is
