9:10 am
head that the south obviously she says they're rushing here but precisely because they are they don't have the visa that is going to allow them not just to get in to ecuador lord but also from here to use this country as has been the case now for years as a stepping stone to neighboring brule then on to chile to argentina to other parts of latin america where millions and millions of venezuelan migrants have gone and the numbers are increasing dramatically as you can see these people have been sleeping outdoors it's freezing here at night it gets to below 0 and it's 3000 meters above sea level which most venezuelans aren't accustomed to. some of these migrants have come by bus but many many others have actually walked here for as long as 25 days to get to the border this is where the children are being vaccinated against measles or disease or been eradicated inec while odd but which has now begun to reemerge according to authorities because of all the migration
9:11 am
from venezuela this is an unprecedented situation ecuador used to have open borders but now the government says it has to impose these new measures to restrict the number of migrants into the country because it says its services simply cannot cope . side. signs of a hinge refugees are marking what they call genocide remembrance day. it's 2 years since more than 700000 people were forced to leave their homes in myanmar and live in densely crowded camps in bangladesh thousands of people were killed u.n. investigators say me and mars military leader should be prosecuted on charges of genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity. yes president donald trump will be facing a 2nd challenger in the republican primaries of the 2020 white house nomination but cast a record so it won't be an easy task to unseat a president with massive approval ratings and his own party. in the united states
9:12 am
no one has successfully challenged an incumbent president for his own party's nomination in more than a century and a half and president trump with his approval rating among republicans that 80 to 90 percent has laughed off any suggestion his nomination is in jeopardy but on sunday former congressman joe walsh became the 2nd republican to announce a longshot bid to unseat trump in the primaries i'm running because he's unfair somebody needs to step out and there needs to be an alternative the country is sick of this guy's tantrums he's he's a child intraparty challenges to a sitting president are rare but have happened before ronald reagan strongly challenge president gerald ford in 1976 ted kennedy came close to winning the nomination against jimmy carter in 1980 and pat buchanan challenged the 1st
9:13 am
president bush in 1992 each incumbent went on to lose the general election. while she and fellow republican presidential challenger william weld a former governor are both considered long shots against trump to call it suicide would be pretty close to accurate at this point but a lot can happen in 6 months especially with the potential economic downturn learned looming we know that the president's approval rating is very closely tied to the health of the economy and any continued problems with trade and such could really does the president trump has weathered a rough week escalating the u.s. china trade war labeling the. chair of the u.s. federal reserve and enemy and ordering private businesses to not do business with china. but the republican national committee is right behind the president and he's raised a small fortune for his campaign which make it difficult for anyone to challenge

him and when. castro al-jazeera washington the u.s. is marking the arrival of the 1st and slave africans to the english colony of virginia 400 years ago the transatlantic slave trade databases nearly 400000 people were sent to north america over more than 2 centuries around $10000000.00 ended up in south america the caribbean the commemoration comes at a time when the u.s. president is accused of creating a culture where nationalism and racism can flourish fissures more from hounds in virginia where he attended a commemoration event. it began with the ringing of a bell for 4 minutes to mark the 4 centuries since the ship carrying the 20 ordered africans came up the chesapeake bay it must have been time for them they'd already been kidnapped in their home country of what would no be angola and packed onto a ship and then that ship was hijacked by a british privateer flying under
9:15 am
a dutch flag when we see privateer of course we're centrally mean private and he arrived here at the jamestown colony with the 20 and ordered africans and traded them for food and the people here in the colony decided that they would enslave them that they would put them to work and over the years we've seen how the africans were enslaved for more than 200 years until the emancipation proclamation but there are many here who are marking this occasion seeing that the united states still hasn't really addressed the inequities of what happened 400 years ago that when you talk about a constitution of we the people it excludes people of color it never mentions women it doesn't talk about native americans and so those things have to be addressed if america truly is to become a united state. as the fight over kashmir continues it's not just humans who are

only a few of these creatures can respond to these days despite conservation efforts and my life preserves on both sides this new species is called the great it is one of the worst affected after the fencing between pakistan and india and that's right these friends are being bred in captivity. and after 15 years just 5 regular hours exist in this quilt heck there is a pencil in there so your workers of the fanes many species in kashmir are stranded on either side the numbers have dwindled and the gene pool has shrunk small population breeding means they go through genetic changes higher population and the rate of cross breeding makes them stronger in addition to cross border fire which results in fires were also has an impact on the large life mountain pheasants are also vulnerable the ones being bred in captivity have to be regularly checked because in a varies they don't develop the natural immunity which birds acquired in the wild
9:18 am
the speed of population growth is another threat as forests shrink wildlife is affected people use trees for firewood and construction hunting and poaching also plays a role in bringing numbers. conservationists warned that without cross border collaboration many species are at risk. such as this baby leopard which got her trying to cross the electrified fence follow her last breath i reminded to humans the fight for territory and control is destroying the very land they're fighting for osama bin java down to 0 at the line of control pakistan administered kashmir. is down to 0 and these are current top stories iran's top diplomat has made a brief surprise visit to the g. 7 summit and the rich foreign minister mohammad javits of research institutes with

people were sent to north america over more than 2 centuries and around 10000000 ended up in south america the caribbean you up to date those are the headlines and side stories next but by. it's a summit meant to face global challenges but the g 7 gathering in france has been overshadowed by trade threats by its own members and worries of another economic recession so with all the infighting the posturing and the one on one to what purpose does this g 7 this is inside story.
9:22 am
hello i'm come on santa maria welcome to another edition of inside story if you gathered the leaders of the world's 7 biggest economies in one room and put the future of the global economy trade wars and maybe even a looming recession on the table do you think they'd be able to find some solutions while they are trying we have the leaders of canada france germany italy japan the united kingdom and the united states meeting and france the group known as the g. 7 this is the 45th time it has met in one form or another the tradition is to hold roundtable discussions led by the host in this case that is france's president emmanuel micron and feel some sort of declaration or communique to be released at the end but perhaps in a sign of the times made a declaration before the summit that they would be no declaration at admission of
9:23 am
sorts but trying to find global consensus in 2019 is difficult business. and so the focus shifts to the sideline meetings the one on one discussions where leaders try to do their own deals u.s. presidents donald trump and u.k. prime minister barak johnson were one example on sunday but they didn't always seem to be on the same page especially when it came to this u.s. trade war with china and the fears of it becoming a global problem have a listen. you know. i think the respect it really has that. i can only speak to say they were doing the. place but from the standpoint of the united states were to leave the presidential ministrations allow them to get away with taking the hundreds of billions of dollars out of every year putting it into the city here sure to. tell me that nobody. of you on the tree will be able to create.
9:24 am
a very good thing with all the whole of the u.k. . massively. reduced. our. we don't like tariffs on the whole so as you say allies or not there are a lot of differences on the table at the g. 7 before we get to our discussion let's get the thoughts about diplomatic editor james bays i was covering the summit for al-jazeera and berates france. a year ago the g 7 meeting in canada ended in acrimony particularly over climate change with the u.s. not prepared to sign up to the wording of the communique on that particular issue in many ways one year on there are even more disagreements between the 7 nations that make up this grouping that are here now in barrett there are
9:25 am
disagreements on global trade and that is worrying all the leaders here because of the problems of the global economy because of the falling stock market worries about that trade war between the us and china worries about other trade wars for example even between the host nation here france and the u.s. with the french digital services tax which targets the u.s. tech companies and president trump's threats to retaliate and possibly tax very highly french wine imports into the u.s. there are other issues the issue of climate change yet again and that's high up the agenda because of those fires in the amazon and some of the other security issues in the world in particular the crisis in iran and the very different approach that you have to iran from the united states takes a very muscular tough approach with iran and this pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and the european nations that are still trying to keep that iran nuclear deal
9:26 am
alive what's different this time around though is that the french chairing this meeting have decided not to have a final communique not to try and get all of the leaders here to sign up to one agreement so i think you can pretty well likely have a situation where 7 leaders with differences arrive here don't even try to reach an agreement and continue at the end of the meeting to go away with their different positions this is going to be a meeting with plenty of discussion but i don't think any action or decisions. and with that let's introduce the panel for today we're starting in washington d.c. with doug bando who is the senior fellow at the cato institute and a one time special assistant to former u.s. president ronald reagan on skype from normandy in france or is the founder and director of the center for russia europe asia studies and rounding out the panel in
9:27 am
beijing is einat tang in the china political and economic analyst who advises the chinese government on development issues thank you for making the time for us today to talk g 7 to all of you look we have this. time to do some numbers 1st g. 7 meeting however emanuel mccrone decided he want to invite some other leaders so it goes up to sort of g. 10 or 11 or so it's not quite a g. 20 inviting more people but it's going to be no communique because everyone knows they can't agree on anything doug let's start with you it is it just seems unnecessary unnecessarily complicated or has gotten complicated there is a lot for them to talk about it certainly would be good if they could work through some of the trade issues the question of the approach to china the president has unsettled not only u.s. markets but he's allies with his recent declarations about trade there i mean issues of climate change the question obviously of the u.k.
9:28 am
leaving the european union all of these are issues that could use some serious discussion the problem is any gathering with donald trump you know many of these issues become problematic and that certainly reflected in the french president's you know comment that you know we we're not going to have a declaration because frankly we're not going to get one no one wants a repeat of last year of that kind of infamous photo and president trouble leaving early refusing to sign the declaration yet what do you remind us quickly for those of us with a shorter memories what happened at the g. 7 in canada. well he had you know the president disagreed very sharply over the climate change didn't want to discuss that issue left early refused to sign the declaration and there is this extraordinary photo of the president sitting with his arms crossed essentially facing the rest of the leaders of the g. 7 all of these of course are really allies of the united states longstanding partners of the united states and they kind of symbolically represented what's
9:29 am
happened internationally with this relationship after president trump took office and that is something no one wants to repeat trying to bring countries together not push them further apart trees are found on let's bring you in from normandy it's actually starting to feel a bit more like devils i wonder i've been to dallas a few times i suspect some of you have as well and that it's kind of a talk shop and people meet and greet and do deals on the sidelines and actually the guts of the thing doesn't really matter quite so much. well i think president hope learned some important lessons from what happened last at the last g 7 and it happened once don't talk on the plane he was so angry with how the communique turned out so it was and we as the biggest figure mentioned oh no but it's also a reflection of how bad the situation is now in the transatlantic alliance for example i've never seen it in such
9:30 am
a bad situation so we can't even get this idea of democracies are working together and solving these international problems there is no agreement not even have a communique at the end which is a barometer of how bad the relations are right now between the u.s. and the rest and you get this impression that the crown just wanted to make sure everything went smoothly everyone's kind of walking on eggshells and everyone's fearful of somehow being miss understood by donald trump were some are crossing him the wrong way so they're just holding their breath hoping they can get through this there are some side of bents taking place and if you actually look at the same time the white house it's a very different narrative than the reality of what's happening i mean donald trump described the relationship of the u.k. with britain with leaving the e.u. as. losing an anchor and so the u.s. has traditionally been an ally or a supporter of the european union but with this type of rhetoric it's clear that he's not really friendly towards europe and he's also called your foes so he has
9:31 am
a multi-pronged approach and it's it's he's kind of having this terrible post not just against china but also against traditional allies many historians might look back on this period and wonder why when he was given such a good hand played it so quickly because throughout europe and the u.s. japan everyone kind of felt their eyes had opened up to china's unfair trade practices there in germany for example the b.t.i. . the german federation of industry had published a report so all germany all these major countries were on the same page as you. was returned to china it went been far more effective the u.s. could have used all these allies and worked together to try to put pressure on china instead he. alienated even the closest traditional u.s. allies and that hasn't worked out well for us you know it hasn't had time going to bring you in because tourism has started to talk about the trade war with with
9:32 am
china and this has rightly or wrongly overshadowed everything not just of the g. 7 i think the whole news agenda or across the world has been taken over by this. i wonder the chinese deciding to put more tariffs on the u.s. and then the retaliation also is a maybe all been timed for the g. 7 as it seems like the foot had been taken off the terrace for a little while g. 7 comes along and suddenly it's all we're talking about again. well yes i think it was clearly a planned boof obviously china had to signal that it was going to retaliate against trump saying despite the fact that he said that he was going to give a christmas reprieve. and they i think they anticipated that he would react badly now he was going into a meeting of the g. 7 which he was not happy about he openly gripes about it he did his usual insulting oh most all of the leaders prior to showing up at the g.
9:33 am
7 and then proceeded to kind of dominate things by claiming after he's isolated himself that somehow he's being isolated by everybody else a so it's a it's a very difficult situation china anticipated that i think they deliberately released their tariff news just before things i think in the past donald trump thought that he could push the buttons of china and i think he's finding that china is pushing back now what's new about this is that you know he after all of this kind of turmoil everybody in essence in unison turning against him. he said oh well i have 2nd thoughts i always have 2nd thought people thought that perhaps he was signaling that he had gone the wrong direction but at this point he's reversed that again and he said oh i should have put them up higher so this is classic donald trump he can't say sorry he has to figure out some way of doubling down the thing
9:34 am
is it stay with you just for now and what is happening between china the united states affects the whole world it will have a knock on effect and you would think at something like the g. 7 meeting that the 7 biggest economies in the world would be able to start working together i think when we need to mitigate these effects that there are concerns of a recession even if the us president says it's not going to happen surely that is something where they can be some consensus and cooperation. absolutely but it would take donald trump to admit that the u.s. economy is in trouble that the rest of the world is under threats and he's not willing to do that and what one hand he's saying that he's demanding that the fed lower the lower rates in order to increase the economic activity he's threatened to lower the dollar and then he stands up and said nothing to worry about everything's going great economy is strongest as ever under donald trump so he has this duality he's painted himself an essence into
9:35 am
a corner where he cannot admit that this much vaunted economy that he gave the sugar high to with these tax cuts is actually a paper tiger that is fast fading away i'm going to go on a slight tangent have him do this with a particular thing as you're in the united states the talk of recession if there is a recession in the u.s. it will affect the rest of the world we know that but internally at the moment it seems to be this argument with the chairman of the federal reserve in the united states jay powell in fact if i remember rightly donald trump even tweeted who's the bigger enemy is that is it jay powell or is it chairman she jinping well among other things trump of course is a real estate developer so he's always wanted low interest rates so this really goes back to his business i mean if you're a real estate developer you want them as low as possible obviously as he has been said he doesn't accept blame for anything you know economists figure in the next
9:36 am
year or 2 the u.s. is likely to hit into a recession the president certainly doesn't want that before november of next year when he's up for reelection and the fed i mean the talk about a sugar high monetary policy can give that the problem is the fed has to think longer term you know it's had lower interest rates coming out of the financial crisis it can't keep those forever. it has to take this longer view trump doesn't like that at all and from his standpoint and his supporters he always wants an enemy he wants to play off of somebody and the fed will do it's an institution that it's easy to demonize and he's going to use it so if there's a recession in america he doesn't want to be his policies that are blamed is going to go after somebody else the fed is a convenient target ok let's try not to talk about donald trump for a moment because i think inevitably comes into every conversation but there is a fellow let me come to you i think being from the center for russia europe and
9:37 am
asia studies you're well placed to talk about this emmanuel micron he wanted to change the structure of the street 7 he said let's invite some other leaders that's bring in india let's bring in australia let's bring in african leaders what is the purpose of that. and unfortunately again are they going to get left behind because everyone's talking about all these other issues we've discussed well i think that was mccown's way of kind of getting a positive spin to the fact that there will be no communication and this idea of almost a year ago it was a few lines of democracies we haven't really seen much of that happen we also have that larger strategic picture into pacific what's happening without donald trump and mcmahon have talked about bringing russia back but there's been a great deal of resistance to that because nothing is new changed are we to sanction russia and have back to the polls not know they're still in you know so and i don't that's that's kind of a nonstarter. and. so then the next g.
9:38 am
7 you've got happening actually in the united states that will be interesting again isn't it because if mccrone is the host of this one is set the agenda. it would be donald trump who would set this next to jennifer zuma 1000000000 and the whole issue of russia comes back into it again. yes it'll be next year for donald trump until one says that you used. the genesis of the bill are more at home and not worried about gotcha questions but. i think you'll lose europe on this they're really a steady un sanctions if we held on to them but it's the idea of bringing russia back without any sort of you know leave by all of these international rules and norms and then we want them by bringing them back into the g. 8 since really the principles meant so there are other areas where they can work with russia but not at the g 7 that's how i think many european leaders and i want
9:39 am
to ask was very clear in his opening remarks the day before the summit took place i now let's bring you back and i mean this is going more broad brush than just china here but well china is a an ally of russia sent in places like the security council doesn't it just show us again that no matter where the summit happens or how it happens it's about all these one on one alliance as i hate using this way but bilateral stuff which actually decides it. absolutely i mean things have descended i mean this is what donald trump wanted he does not like multilateral institutions where he has to deal with a consensus and overcome that he likes bilateral where the u.s. can use its military economic and political my to get the best deal but i want to react to something that theresa said she said you know if russia has violated all of these conventions and rules and things like this but i mean if by that standard
9:40 am
the u.s. would be in a real pickle because i think donald trump i think everyone would agree as violated pretty much all of the rules and conventions going forward and the united us has in the past especially with a number of these wars and actions withdrawing from you know the international. human rights council you know denying access i mean denying the jurisdiction of the i.c.c. etc shown that it is in fact an outlier so it'd be a little bit odd. hypocritical to be calling other countries that now i'm not defending what russia has done i think it needs to be censured but you have to those who are doing it need to be in the clear about their own actions there is a do you want to answer to that before i go back to doug sure i donald trump it seems to have broken every time before the election and after the election he is
9:41 am
breaking many other international norms and rules. she can be got a standing ovation a double is because everyone was fearful when donald trump or actions would take protectionism it's terrible he's other issues so angry but still the situation of the international. mark following the rules this idea of what about is well what about this what about that i think that we have a situation now that sovereignty issues even people's republic of china did not recognize what. russia did and they were considered kind of frenemies and friends with benefits right now so sovereignty issues are very cheap to the international. so if we just are looking other way when other countries take bits and pieces of other countries i think it sends a very dangerous message probably entire international system is like putting on a thread. piece of fabric the whole thing will start to unravel and i don't think that helping right now i think. it's very much constant stress and

danger but i don't think that is a reason to not rush she's ok folks we're starting to run down the clock so i just want to get a final thought if you're going to go back to the numbers that i started with. in fact if you go back to 2008 remember the g. 20 meeting in the middle of the global financial crisis and it was sort of decided then right g. 20 is going to be the premier world body for decision making on cooperation and economic recessions and all these sorts of things and yet here we are still discussing a g. 7 with a few extras the so-called elite countries are the ones who are here supposedly making all the decisions doug shouldn't we really be worried more about what the g 20 has to say something that is actually more representative or actually does that just splinter even more and you get even less chance of integration and. well i think that's the challenge is the more countries you involve the harder it is to get agreement i think there's a good argument for getting together democratic allies industrialized countries
9:43 am
that generally share values that generally share our military security interests that have a long history together and that's what these countries do and getting together and talking about issues me what is the proper response to china i mean this is clearly an issue that matters to the europeans as well as america the president's trade or is not in my view going well what would be a better response i think teresa was right you want to use the europeans work with them japan as opposed to push them away so the g. 7 has an opportunity you know what is the u.s. relationship with europe and the u.k. these are these are important issues that america should be supportive of both so i think that this the g. 7 could be very useful in this regard more useful than the g. 20 simply because you get a certain intimacy of decision making the g. 20 is useful as well i think it's a different function to research a 7 g. 20 g. one plus ones what's the best way it's true the more cooks the difficult make
9:44 am
brought up the idea of the g. 7 i think to work with allies even if you look at the us at the white house statement it sounds like donald trump wants are those elements and components create the current economic issues if this is a train print that would be absolutely amazing is this right or more hyperbole remains to be seen but i think that europe feels under attack we see right today japan and korea 2 very important u.s. alanson it's a fixed and it's member of the g 7 they're having a falling out so the alliance structures are really calm and i think if the g 7 can't even come up with that statement it's a really we're parameter of the international system right now and i will leave the final word to you not just on which party is the right thing but also you know just thoughts on the next 6 to 12 months with china in the u.s. . the next 6 to 12 months will probably not bring about a deal simply because donald trump is an unpredictable and unreliable i
9:45 am
noticed my my 2 fellow colleagues didn't mention the obvious statement that there can be no consensus where donald trump is involved he is not a consensus person he has not reached a consensus with anybody on anything since he started his presidency so let us not gloss it over this is just simply somebody who is isolated himself and that is why quite frankly there will be probably no trade deal prior to it because it doesn't make sense to make a deal with somebody who you do not think will carry it through and this is something that both mexico and canada are experiencing as we speak well thank you to all of you. and i say doug to reason fallon and i met tang and thank you and may as well that's for thank you for watching there is always more few online inside stories in the show's section at al jazeera dot com if you want
