conflict is going beyond a tear of war bench and all times latest we were told ordered in fact us companies to look for other places to do business it what show for costs they do expect us companies to start reducing their investments in china. well this is problematic for all companies this has been a fair amount of move of assembly type activity under china already interview but we're seeing now is the companies that are trying to do this to avoid the tears on products made in china they are finding it very problematic to find other locations in the world china represents about one 5th of global economy right now it's hard to find all the specialized production techniques were hers are companies of the supply chains that exclude china so this is asking the world to reshape.

this meet in the world production system that had been built up over decades in a matter of months it can't be done on top of that u.s. companies like g.m. and others china is their biggest market now so again you're asking a companies to abandon what is the country that's most important to them in the bottom line so this is very very problematic and a companies will attempt to are to make amends order to change their business models to try insulate themselves from the threats and the terrorists but there's only so much that can be done that direction or thank you for analysis on that down to iraq thank you very much french authorities have banned demonstrations in berets where the g. 7 summit is being held but hundreds of gathered there by one daya thrash about the has more. there are hundreds of protesters gathering here in the port of umm di it is just on the spanish board and what these protesters are intending to do is more

from here on the french side and for the spanish border among them there are actually capitalist kept at least there are far left groups representatives from major world charities and knots of climate campaigners as well climates of course very much on people's minds which there is a choice in the amazon rain forest which are ongoing now they are all united on one issue that is that they are here to speak out against the g. 7 summit which is happening just north of faire in the coastal resort of pierrots g 7 leaders are rising as we speak and what the protesters say is that those global leaders from those wealthy nations are responsible for many of the world's problems including the growing gap between the rich and the poor including a climate change one thing that's quite interesting as well this year as we're seeing many yellow vests protesters now yellow vests them stray sions have been taking place across from over the past months many protesters angry against the

french presence it might or might call saying that he favors the rich over the poor so many have said that they are quite upset or angry about the fact that a model mark was pushing tackling global inequality high on the agenda is the theme of this g. 7 summit because they say that he has failed to tackle inequality in fronts for the most still ahead of the news hour including place in hong kong to gas the protesters for the 1st time in 10 days opposition activists try out new tactics taking the fight to kidnappers nigeria's crime crisis where even traveling on trains is not safe. it's been all smiles for liverpool and arsenal the season of the fun times might be about to start for one of them yeah we'll explain all coming up in the sports. well as we've been saying the raging fires in large parts of the amazon rainforest

have been thrust to the top of the agenda at the g. 7 summit french president emanuel my choir's launched an appeal to all world powers to help brazil and other south american countries control the blazes leisure naething notably the arizona is our common good we are all consumed so in the image on we will launch a mobilization between all g 7 countries together with him is only in countries 1st we need to help brazil and other countries push out these fires and then we need to invest in reforestation and allow locals to develop it to tease that will preserve this forest and brazil's president on our order the military to help put out the fires he's been criticized for his handling of what some leaders call an international crisis blames unusually warm temperatures for the unprecedented blaze . of course from the state of around the near one of the worst affected regions.

forest fires happen every year in brazil but it was the sheer scale this year that shocked the world the so-called world's lungs were on fire strong criticism firstly from within brazil and the rest of the world forced president. to respond. forest fires happen all over the world so this is no reason to impose international sanctions brazil will continue to be as it is now a country that is friendly with everyone and is responsible in protecting its amazon forest. he's been accused by many of creating the very conditions he's now trying to control but there's a defiance from the president and resentment from his supporters and other countries feeling was ill what to do yes. i don't agree that other countries should come here to brazil we don't go to other countries to upset them you don't see

brazilians they're causing problems only working to see money home to invest here this is pioneering country distant from brazil's made population centers also nardo had a message that resonated here. i'm 63 years old and i'm never seen a president as honest as this one who confronts the problems and says what has to be seed is defending brazil these are people who came to tame the forest to cut a bird to carve a future from what they consider to be a wilderness this particular blaze may not be huge but is one of tens of thousands burning across brazil some control some not some illegal some legal what's clear is that few will be investigated but the consequences will eventually be felt around the world. the fires have been put out but what's left is this blackened devastation which will take many years to recover. 70 percent of the

state of the year has already been developed the forested for lucrative timber then burned to create land for cattle rearing and sawyer production the rest is up for grabs and no one it seems is stopping them at the moment if you burn the forest you are backed up by a president and then you do exactly as you want to do because you know nothing will happen and that's a problem and we have seen statistically when this law enforcement fires in deforestation goes down when we don't have it because of. the fires are still burning but will bolster naro bend on the heat of international pressure or bow to the ambition of some his strongest supporters that there al-jazeera ground on your state northwestern brazil of thousands of people have protested across latin america against the fires in the amazon protesters gathered in rio de janeiro calling for greater action others rallied in colombia peru ecuador and mexico 77005 across brazil in reported this year that's an 85 percent increase

compared to 2018 but i'm all about easter is an amazon campaigner for greenpeace brazil he joins us by skype from analysts in brazil good to have you with us so so 1st of all explain to viewers why have the fires increased so much. well. what we see where it is fire. that is the 1st station if you go for the think top 10 cities where you have or haven't craze of the islands of the forestation last year you have 8 we fungus fires come together with different stations in the arsenal set on the speech of the government and they think that he's there for the last 8 months and we see no any kind of measure of that they need to protect their muscle or to stop the fires so take

a step further because there's a lot of criticism of the president is this a direct result the deforestation is a direct result of government policies or are they also a victim. in the 2 it's a direct result of the ocean right now top policy of the government they cut their money for them for spending surveillance in in the few and less than 50 percent of the actor that they usually happen there happen the amazon happened easier he says he has been told since the election that you stop the industry of finance of the environment or agency this guy that was doing they work. and give fines for those that are doing things that it's against the environment or are they giving pressure for those who want to do is illegality is environmental crimes that they will be impunity and this is only the result of the desert environment where there are

still a helping and this is what the president says he says actually that's not the case the case is that n.g.o.s he says have deliberately started fires because their funding was cut is there any evidence for that narrative. this is also not a statement it's a book of our penned by the president 200 cell from the prosecutors of their to environmental policy that he has to be adopt it's a temp to blend anyone who denounce the environmental problems create by these all on government or algae 7 countries which are very critical right now but are they themselves doing their part to reduce the sort of demand for things that drive deforestation this is important in this case this countries have to demand problems without deforestation other thing it is that the consumers can push for their brands and their and their. companies to ask and only buy problems that come

up for a lot is that these don't have any kind of the forestation or busy human rights abuse here unless you yet a part of the world. do you expect this is going to we've seen some strong diplomatic words exchanged i think a man in micron calling jaya both an arrow or saying he had lied to him do you think this is going to turn into an obstacle between the e.u. and south america and finalizing a trade deal well. i don't think so what we had to do have is. some strictly who was to avoid the forestation press you don't need to do more deforestation to increase the producer into we have to think they way that we produce and consume we have to decrease them a lot of any more protein meat in them to consume and with these we put less

pressure to the open lot of new ideas and release space for make it here for a station here in brazil or i thank you so much for your analysis on all of this and your comments from mono but easter. it's not just brazil that struggling to cope with wildfires more than 7000 square kilometers have been destroyed by flames in neighboring bolivia the government is using a boeing 747 to help carry 150000 liters of water and flame retardant the fires have been burning in the eastern province of santa cruz for the past month officials in chile say the capital and its outskirts are suffering their worst drought in decades the government has declared an agricultural emergency in half of its districts chile is among the countries most affected by global warming in

well there have already been sanctions imposed on the top military leadership of me and mar that was done in the last a month or so and that means that these officials cannot come to the united states or do business with u.s. persons and neither can members of their immediate families and that's a significant effort from the top ministration but there are groups which say that the u.s. could be doing much more the u.s. has called what happened in rocking state 2 years ago an act of ethnic cleansing these groups want to see they trumpet ministration go farther and call it an act of genocide because that would have actual legal weight behind it but the argument from u.s. officials is that if they went that far it would have to impacts 2 negative impacts one the us would have a much harder time of engaging with officials in young gone about their treatment

of the right hand and 2 it could possibly put the civilian leader aung san suu kyi and a very precarious position both personally and. politically and they don't want to do anything to upset her ability to try to deal with the military leadership even though she herself has been criticized for not taking the plight of the much more seriously in the meantime there are still about a 1000000 or so we're into who have taken refuge in neighboring bangladesh they have steadfastly refused to return to me and mar unless they are granted citizenship something which the government has steadfastly insisted they are not entitled to have as well as other raw guarantees for their personal and political safety in that country what the trumpet ministration is trying to do is to show that it is on the right side in this situation that it is trying to put. pressure

on the me and maher government to do better and that it is trying to build international pressure to remember to remind the public that the rangers are still largely displaced are still suffering economic and religious persecution and that the international community should be doing more to try to restore some sort of normalcy for this ethnic minority thanks so much resident jordan there sudan's former president ahmed bashir is a paid in calls for a 2nd time to face criminal charges supporters chanted slogans as he entered the courtroom bashir faces charges of corruption and money laundering during his $3.00 decades in power investigators say they found $130000000.00 in his house off of the military deposed him in april it's called appearance comes a day off to members of the new government's transitional council was sworn in. so

the next few days we'll be watching this very carefully temperatures are up though here across parts of syria we're going to be seeing aleppo about $39.00 degrees on sunday maybe dropping down to about 30 degrees by the time we get towards monday well here across the gulf it has been very very steamy in the morning the relative humidity has been quite high temperatures only getting into the high thirty's but that's all you really want because the heat index feels more like 43 to 44 degrees so expect to see an average about the high thirty's but maybe making to 39 degrees by the time we get towards monday and then very quickly across the southern part of africa we are seeing some cooler air across much of cape town of the next few days but it is going to be quite hot as we go towards durban $31.00 degrees is expected high here but that's only to be lasting one day the temperatures are going to be dropping by the time we get to monday so $31.00 as we go towards sunday by the time we get towards monday $24.00 degrees here by the time we get to tuesday well we're going to be more like average for this time of year and possibly some passing showers as well with

trump announced further tariff increases on chinese imports and told american companies to pull out of china. the u.s. state department is calling for more action by me and mars government to address the issue of the rangar more than 740000 were forced from their homes when me and miles military launched a crackdown against the community and state 2 years ago. now turkey's defense minister says a joint plan with the u.s. to create a so-called safe zone in syria is fully operational the 2 sides were locked in months of talks over the depth of the zone and who would control it we're joined now by bernard smith an attack here on the turkey syria border so bernard what exactly did they agree on in the end. well the summit we know the the joint operations center is up and running that's according to his defense minister. but what is missing from that statement is the details of

what this joint observation will be overseeing and this has been the can mange source of discussions between the and the americans for a long time now to the deep save zone as well as long as 30 kilometers into syrian territory from the turkish border and they want joint patrols with the u.s. military the u.s. while they don't want to join didn't necessarily want to join the patrol with the turks and want a much narrower zone about 5 kilometers or so that's simply because the u.s. is working with the syrian kurdish forces against eisel in that area while turkey wants to push the syrian cause kurdish forces back from its border and it wants to create a zone for syrian refugees fleeing the fighting certainly for the turkish authorities the applique instigation of the safe zone can't come quickly enough. no

sooner her family thought they'd found somewhere to stay the landowner moved them all this is how it's been for hundreds of thousands of syrians throughout the 7 years civil war travelling further and further north to escape the fighting while this displacement is never ending i never expected to be in this situation no one knows what will happen next the fighters don't seem to know if they should advance or that idiom will advance on them the traffic is mostly one way as people head away from the advancing government forces towards the last rebel stronghold of italy a province the syrian regime now controls all of the countryside in hama province south of adlib after taking over with the russian help the last villages and towns that had been in rebel hands it's all happened under the noses of turkish soldiers they're behind this wall in one of a dozen observation posts established to monitor what is supposed to be deescalation zone. is the more that it goes down not below as much as the our

observation posts are not besieged the end nobody can besiege our troops or observation posts i want to clarify it yes there are attacks in the region of adlib the regime is active around our observation posts we are discussing this issue with russia and iran turkey is also worried that regime advances will push more than a half a 1000000 syrians to exporter. now the problem for the turkish military is that when the turkish government is those observation posts or some of them while they were in disco deescalation zones they are now in an area under the control of the syrian military and that therefore the syrian government and a senior adviser to president bashar al assad a said on a pro-government television station today the turkish observation post one of them in moroc this town that's now been overtaken by the syrian military is under siege

of the syrian army will be able to eliminate those turkish observation points sami bernard smith reporting from antakya in opposition leaders have been prevented from entering the disputed kashmir region congress party leader to hold gandy led a group from several political parties but it was turned back on arrival it's really got airports there were protests in the city on friday afternoon 1st tamil reports from the capital of indian administered kashmir. protesters in srinagar throwing stones the response from indian security forces tear gas and pellet guns. the protests began at one mosque where friday prayers have taken a defiant tone this month since the region's autonomy was revoked by new delhi one of the few ways locals have to vent their frustrations. the restrictions have been imposed on the use of the internet and mobile phones and they're finding it

difficult to move around the city and beyond the years subsample a tease it was levi's doing so you're going to be like oh this is a bad thing for almost 3 weeks we've been under the restrictions and we're not happy about it. ought to know me and put us on because you know one is going on out of the neighborhood. unlike in previous weeks security was tightened on fridays to curtail potential unrest. whether restrictions are eased or reimpose for friday prayers protests have followed and this time is no exception it's not just restrictions that's angering locals it's a long term consequences of the region losing its autonomy one consequence of that is that people from outside indeed administered kashmir can now buy property whereas before you had to be a permanent resident. many here worry that will change the makeup of the region lucas missing her. people would not solenn to outsiders i don't think but if you

see how the government if we need has put us under control they might try to make colonies of outsiders here that would change the demographic that's what they want . some analysts say that's in line with the government's hindu nationalist ideology falsely erroneous notion we do have been selling to their people that is the birth place off. and they have to reclaim. what they will do forcibly. model forcibly davil make settlements and. the good indian government officials say the removal of fish mirrors autonomy will bring development to the region but that's not how many of the people here see the situation and the protests are likely to continue as jimmy al-jazeera indeed administered kashmir. now protesters in hong kong have been throwing bricks at

police in the latest round of violent demonstrations to rock the city hundreds of black clad protesters fultz with riot police following a march against so-called smart posts which of spock's surveillance fears the chaotic scenes unfolded outside the play station a nearby shopping mall with protesters setting up makeshift street barricades. well in a has more from hong kong. after a week when the police in hong kong appeared to adopt a different tactic seemingly standing back allowing the protests to happen without intervention on saturday it seemed that they were in no mood to muck around the riot police very quickly moving into this area of cow loon to clear the protesters away using tear gas the day it started peacefully there was a march through this part of cow loom the protesters had asked police for permission for their march to take place the permission was granted by the police

but as we have seen before a large group of the protesters then broke away approached a police station near the route of the march erecting barricades that the that we have seen them do so many times before and it seems that when the police lost patience and formed up and that's when the confrontation began which lasted perhaps one to 2 hours this came on a day when kerry lamb the chief executive of hong kong someone whom the protesters want to resign held who 1st round of dialogue with representatives from different sections of society in hong kong around 28 representatives of different sections of hong kong society met with her to start the process of dialogue the ultimate aim to end this crisis but crisis but significantly there were no protests leaders who were involved in those talks in the protests where they show no sign of dying down . an employee of the british consulate in hong kong has been released by mainland china after being detained for more than 2 weeks simon chang disappeared on the 8th

of august during a business trip to the city of shenzhen near the border with hong kong chinese police chang was punished for violating public safety laws his detention came as relations between beijing and london soured over the ongoing protests in the former british territory. the u.k. foreign office released a statement saying we welcome the release of simon chang and are delighted that he can be reunited with his family we will continue to provide support to them japan says north korea has fired what appears to be 2 short range missiles into the sea off its east coast according to south korea's military they were fired from some dock in south hum gong province japan says they cause no damage it's the 7th such test in on us president donald trump said he's not concerned by

the latest missile tests no i don't think so i think that we have a very good relationship we'll see what happens that could always change but we'll see what happens kim jong un has been you know pretty straight with me i think. we're going to see what's going on with the what's happening he likes testing missiles but we never restricted short range missiles we'll see what happens many nations that. we tested a very big one the other day as you probably know. mason ritchie is a professor of international relations at hancock university of foreign studies in south korea he says the missile test serve a number of purposes. we should always remember that when north korea carries out this will test their always overdetermined they have more than one cause so we'll hear certainly that there is messaging involved with the possible a coming restart negotiations with the us nuclear ization i would also argue that

there are simply testing the deployment in the fielding of no operational capabilities we're not sure what it is yet could be the case in $23.00 could be $8080.00 unless systems could be something else we don't know yet we'll find that out later but there's also of course internal messaging as well this is a way for kim jong un to send a message to his military that even though diplomacy may be ongoing they're also stored values his military and their capabilities nigeria is in the grip of a kidnapping crisis thousands of nigerians fallen victim to a rise in the crime and having to pay millions of dollars in ransom. reports from in an area known as a kidnapping hotspot. taking the fight to the kidnappers these offices of nigeria's special into were disappointing to a 2 people could not possibly cite that at this point. could not hide.

home in the city of could do. then they begin to say ok i should give the money as i don't have money they keep on asking are you have it because we saw cars in your ass country sell those cars we need money you have to give over it if you don't you are going to kill you after 7 days in captivity of the malik was released after paying a ransom but not before being told to deliver a message to the world for 2 years. then as they give you all that i should be able to tell the government that most of them only poit they are good with dignity placement if they are not employed or people kidnapping people. but it's not just frustrated you threw a ton into kidnapping it's now a free for all with more pity and 100 criminals joining in. robert and. was kidnapped and held in a forest by a group armed with machetes he says they tortured him until his family paid or not some of $200.00 we were drinking he said i want to give her life for single food

for all through a good hearted church. so everything we can i was. given to go back with my remark i don't have a quote last one and give me slap america and it was a lot. until now kidnappers in the g.d. had to get the public officials their relatives and foreign workers often in the oil industry what is worrying most nigerians about the current we will kidnappings in the country is that no one and no we're still safe anymore how about the world is either on the bridge or could do now howie 6 countries have agreed to take in refugees and migrants have been stranded at sea for nearly 2 weeks more than 350 people were on board the ocean viking when it docked in malta they'd been rescued from the mediterranean sea off the libyan coast malta and italy had initially denied requests for the ship to dock ukraine is celebrating the 28th anniversary

of its independence from the soviet union. the festivities won't be as grand as on previous occasions that's because the president wants to spend some of the $11000000.00 earmarked for the big day to pay bonuses to the armed forces instead. now coffee farmers in indonesia are expecting a bumper crop this year but with prices at a low some growers a warning bell go bankrupt if things don't improve florence louis has the story from jakarta. over. the harvest time at this coffee plantation in sumatra and it's plenty for farmers who would normally celebrate but not this year they are the world's 3rd largest growers of the robots to a variety of coffee beans but the market price they're fetching is at an 8 year low but. if the price of coffee stays like this we can't continue we might not attend

our plantations anymore because we can't afford fertiliser we don't have enough money to pay our work is in my case i still have to pay for my son's high school. robusto is used mainly in instant coffee and demand has been increasing but prices have dropped this year because of the success of the 2 largest producers brazil and vietnam while indonesian pharma struggle to make money there's a growing demand domestically as more indonesians get a taste for what they produce growing affluence and ebonite they sure are driving the rise of the so-called coffee lifestyle and many more coffee shops are opening up some are part of a chain others like this one in jakarta independence i mean i come here 2 or 3 times a week the price of coffee for what i get is well worth it not cheap but not too expensive. indonesia is one of the top 5 fastest growing coffee retail markets and

has the lowest coffee consumption type person in southeast asia so there's plenty of room for growth to serve much confidence in the industry but one coffee chain received $28000000.00 from venture capital firms in the past year for its expansion plans even as it listed the local market can absorb a large amount of domestic only green coffee. only 30 percent of coffee here was exported but if the price of keeps dropping farmers will stop planting coffee and i'll be a huge loss for everyone was the. demand from indonesia coffee has so far helped cushion the blow from falling export prices back at his plantation is hopeful the price of coffee beans for the cover in the meantime he's planted other crops just in case florence li al-jazeera. head on al-jazeera the anchor he's go log in la sands lays in the major league baseball

companies to pull out of the country that dispute is just one of the issues competing for their attention the 1st tariffs the jews have come into force in a week's time french president emmanuel micron and germany's angela merkel are also demanding urgent talks on the fires engulfing the amazon rain forest and there's also the attempt to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal with iran the u.s. pulled out of that last year european nations are working to try and keep it in place. well china is warning the u.s. of consequences if it doesn't end what beijing calls wrong actions that amount to bullying hi joe castro begins our coverage from washington. the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies just boiled over in the span of 280 characters on friday just after u.s. stock markets closed u.s.

president donald trump announced via twitter starting on october 1st the $250000000000.00 of goods and products from china currently being taxed at 25 percent will be taxed at 30 percent additionally the remaining $300000000000.00 of goods and products from china that was being taxed from september 1st at 10 percent will now be taxed at 15 percent this was trump's retaliation after beijing announced a few hours earlier that china will tax an additional $75000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods also starting next month that came at the end of an already tumultuous day earlier friday the u.s. president tweeted and order to american businesses move supply chains out of china immediately trump does not in fact have the power to command u.s. businesses to leave china but he does have leverage he can encourage them he cannot give them government contracts for example that if they're buying things from the

government or strine a sell things through the government but no he can't he can't stop that the tweet still spooked investors the dow jones closed more than 2 percent down the tech heavy nasdaq index was off by 3 percent both signs of the importance of the chinese market to u.s. companies all of this comes at a particularly vulnerable time in trump's presidency a growing number of economists forecast a u.s. recession on the horizon driven partly by the white house trade policies trump has risk. bonded by blaming everyone but himself i think the word recession is a word that's inappropriate because it's just a word that the. the church people are going to become and certain people in the media are trying to build up because they'd love to see a recession trump also took unprecedented aim at the chairman of the u.s. federal reserve the central bank lowered interest rates last month but not as much

as trump hoped that earned its chairman this comparison from trump who is our bigger enemy jay powell or chairman c. the chinese leader president trump will spend the weekend in france at the g. 7 meeting with fellow leaders of major industrialized nations the white house has asked concerns of a global recession to be front and center and no doubt the u.s. china trade escalation will dominate those discussions castro al-jazeera washington leaders from around the world continue to arrive in france to attend the g. 7 summit let's get more on this now from our diplomatic editor james basie's live in france for us so james 1st of all how division ridded is the g. 7 this year. well last year they had real problems at the end of the summit reaching an agreement on climate in fact it looked like they'd all signed up to something and then president trump said he

wasn't going to sign up to it at the last minute they know there's a problem here and has been a problem in recent years and you could arguably say there are even more divisions this time around on things like the climb or near the top of the agenda this year because of those fires in the amazon on global trade as you just heard heidi talk about the trade war between the u.s. and china but also other trade wars around the world even one involving the u.s. and the host here france with france putting a new digital services tax that would target big u.s. tech companies and president trump threatening to retaliate with taxation extra taxation on french wine imports so trade and climate about the big issues some of the hot spots of the world there's also division for example iran again a situation where the u.s. and certainly europe have a very different approach of how to deal with iran and because of all of this they're actually not even going to try and get a communique at this year's g.

7 you're going to have plenty of discussion but no final decisions and no plan of action and so from trade disputes bragg's it the situation with iran or those issues you mentioned and to what extent is it diverting attention away from issues like the wealth gap. and the g. 7 is supposed to be about big structural issues it's s'posed to be about the global economy that's exactly the sort of issue that this grouping was built for and to be fair to the french presidency in president one crore that is one of the key themes of this year's g 7 parts of course events are always what intervene in these sorts of gatherings of world leaders you have the key leaders in the world and they need to discuss the key things that are going on as they're meeting that's why

a discussion about the fires in the amazon has been inserted because of u.s. pressure to please president trumpet discussion on global trade has been inserted yes they're going to talk about inequality but the more meetings you have in just 2 and a half days obviously limits the time to deal with that huge structural issue. all right james bays there are diplomatic editor thanks for that. french authorities have banned demonstrations in berates where the g. 7 summit is being held but 107 gathered nearby and that's about the has more. there are hundreds of protesters gathering here in the port of on di it is just on spanish border more these protesters are intending to do this more from here on the french side or for the spanish border among them there are actually capitalists kept unless there are far left groups representatives mate joe charities and lots of climate campaign as well climates of course very much on people's minds which there is a choice in the amazon rain forest which are ongoing now they are all united on one

issue that is that they are here to speak out against the g. 7 summit which is happening just north of faire in the coastal resort to parrots g 7 leaders all rising as we speak and what the protesters say is that those global leaders from those wealthy nations are responsible for many of the world's problems including the growing gap between the rich and the poor including a climate change one thing that's quite interesting as well this year as we're seeing many dylan fest protesters now universe them stray sions have been taking place across from over the past months many protesters angry against the french presence in model michael saying that he favors the rich over the pool so so many have said that they are quite upset or angry about the fact that a model back was pushing tackling global inequality high on the agenda is the theme of this g. 7 summit because they say that he has failed to tackle inequality in front. well as

we mentioned the fires that are burning in the amazon rain forest are likely to be one of the big topics at the g. 7 summit earlier french president emanuel micron called for swift action. not the arizona is our common good we are all consuming so in the amazon we will launch a mobilization between all g 7 countries together with him is only in countries 1st we need to help brazil and other countries push out these fires and then we need to invest in reforestation and allow locals to develop a bit of a tease that will preserve this forest. president jalal salado order the military to help put out the fires has been criticized for his handling of what some leaders call an international crisis blaine's unusually warm temperatures for the unprecedented blaze down pours from the state of rondo near near one of the worst affected regions. forest fires happen every year in

brazil but it was the sheer scale this year that shocked the world the so-called world's lungs were on fire strong criticism firstly from within brazil and the rest of the world forced president. to respond he has little policy of egypt appears to forest fires happen all over the world so this is no reason to impose international sanctions brazil will continue to be as it is now a country that is friendly with everyone and is responsible in protecting its amazon forest. but he's been accused by many of creating the very conditions he is now trying to control but there's a defiance from the president and resentment from his supporters of other countries pulling brazil what to do yes. i don't agree that other countries should come here to presume we don't go to other countries to upset them you don't see brazilians they're causing problems only working to seen money home to invest here. this is pioneering country distant from brazil's main population centers or so naro had

a message that resonated here. i'm 63 years old and i'm never seen a president as honest as this one who confronts the problems and says what has to be seed is defending brazil these are people who came to tame the forest to cut and burn to carve a future from what they consider to be a wilderness this particular blaze may not be huge but is one of tens of thousands burning across brazil some control some not some illegal some legal what's clear is that few will be investigated but the consequences will eventually be felt around the world. the fires are being put out but what's left is this black and devastation which will take many years to recover. 70 percent of the state of the year has already been developed the forested for lucrative timber then burned to create land for cattle rearing and sawyer production the rest is up for

grabs and no one it seems is stopping them at the moment the forest backed up by a president and then you.
