just hours after hezbollah promised to shoot down any israeli drone that violates lebanese airspace it is blaming israel for sending 2 drones to it stronghold in the southern suburbs of beirut one of those drones exploded according to the hezbollah leader they were on a suicide mission but there were no casualties in that attack the drone attack just hours after the israeli army a knowledge ng that it carried out air strikes near the syrian capital damascus hezbollah acknowledging that its bases was hit and in fact 2 of its fighters were killed and while nasrallah was addressing it was was giving a speech late on sunday yet another drone attack reported in iraq close to the syrian border there have been a series of drone strikes in iraq targeting groups backed by iran paramilitary groups that the government calls popular popular mobilization forces so israel is believed now to be operating against iran and iran backed groups in 3 countries in

the region levanon syria and iraq and clearly this is a sharp escalation so far iran and its allies have not retaliated they are now threatening retaliation the words of the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah were quite strong he's saying that these drone attacks will not be left unaddressed and we can't allow israel to continue violating lebanese airspace so a sharp escalation if those retaliation if the if those groups start to retaliate then the situation could spiral out of control still head on al jazeera. migrants friend in israel a rush to get into ecuador late on sunday plus. i'm going fishing in hampton virginia where the people here are commemorating 400 years since the 1st africans were brought to the english speaking qualities and forced to work their sleeves.

hello once again the philippines will become the source of the developing tropical system of some sort you get an idea of the big circulation he was that's not the one that's going to make a difference in the next couple of days i think this circulation is going to cross to the side of luzon its main effect is going to enhance the rainfall which has already produced some floods anyway newell's news on but the dark green scent is drifting science was toward northern born you're also going to be telling in the matter of rain potentially for you in the next day or so which has more recent the structure across thailand as well we can't we see where it is map wise because see where bangkok is and this thailand and meanwhile increasingly on the edges sumatra where the cloud in the rain are rebuilding south of all this and winter carries on not so much of a vengeance di but with another frontal system coming in particularly to tasmania

you don't see much apart from the streaky cloud as a clue so the temperatures are 14 mark on tuesday recently quite day but increasing cloud and wind coming to western tasmania 22 in the sunshine in perth is fairly typical it's warming up still more wednesday but the temperatures are dropping for adelaide and for hobart anybody agree a sober look at the clouds that's a frontal system coming in yet more wind and rain. like cats are always and experience economy class like never before cattle. always

going places together. and you're watching out to 0 these are the top stories right now donald trump has once again insisted washington is not looking for regime change in iran and made a comment today after iran's foreign minister made a surprise visit to the g. 7 summit where he met with france's president iran's president has indicated he would be willing to talk to the americans if it further the interests of his country and donald trump says chinese officials call the american trade negotiator on sunday and want to resume talks to resolve their trade dispute stock markets across asia have closed in the red after the trade war escalated in the past few days and 3 israeli airstrikes have reportedly had

a palestinian groups compound in the lebanese town of qusayr near syria's border it comes a day after an israeli drone crashed in beirut another exploded before landing. iran says it has deployed its most sophisticated warship to provide security for its ships in the gulf of aden that's one of the world's busiest shipping routes iran has also announced that it has sold the oil that was on board a tanker that was detained by british forces enter baltar appear on didn't say who bought the crude the seizure of the agent area one led to a standoff between iran and the u.k. let's bring in our correspondent who joins us now from tehran also what more do we know about this this naval destroyer. well we believe that this is pretty routine it happens every 3 to 4 months a new destroyer is sent out and the one that's been in service for 34 months returns to iran but the fact that it's been announced could be significant we know

that this is a brand new destroyer has more capabilities it's faster and also that it's made but it's also great speculation as to why they've announced this now this could be related to that because no one knows what route it will take but the fact that they destroyed has been sent to the gulf of aden it could mean that it comes down the canal and then. to iran and this is significant because we know that the united states requested to seize this iranian vessel and iran warned them against that but also we also know that the united states is trying to put together this naval coalition for what they say is to protect navigation through the strait of her most in the gulf on the other side of the arabian peninsula so far the united kingdom in the strait you have joined that coalition and they are increased tensions iran still holds a british flag tanker that they seized in the strait of hormuz but iran has said that someone has bought this oil and the owner of that world decided where the tanker goes next that's now that's very strange to some because iran has been very

secretive about who's bought this or that and where it's heading so there are many possible routes it could go down the suez canal it could go back. around africa back to iran but also the speculation it could go through the black sea through to the caspian sea and dock in the north of iran so right now we still don't know where it's headed but we know that this destroy this iranian destroyers going to the gulf of aden with this increased tensions in the region with the 5th american 5th fleet in the region to u.k. warships in the region and any miscalculation could lead to a conflict. with the latest from tehran i said. it's cornell what's happening at the g 7 matthew prize is a senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center and global energy center he joins us from istanbul let's pick up on iran donald trump u.s. president this morning that he did know that job in serif the foreign minister of iraq was was coming that's not the same thing as saying he was being consulted so

do you think that this has had the effect it. was going for. i think it did have that effect i think emanuel objective was to show president trump that he's a bit i say he's quite isolated in comparison with the rest of the g 7 actors president claimed during his press conference earlier today when he was with president el-sisi that not only not only did president mccrone mention the. minister zarif was coming but also president trump claimed that mccrone asked his permission that is at odds as you suggested with what senior white house staff were leaking to the press when they said actually it was a surprise that. showed up so i think the message has gotten through to president trump and by claiming he was consulted i think president trump maybe in damage limitation mode so let me ask you this there is

a peter nichols wrote this in the atlantic this is a quote he says there are in effect 2 different summits underway one that is happening and president donald trump's mind and another that is actually happening on the ground there says summit that trump is trying to will into existence and the summit that is unfolding in real time and often there will be comments that come from donald trump that are and direct opposition to the other leaders there at the summit how are they managing this summit with his presence. that is a perfect quote and it underscores how differently president trump deals with foreign policy compared with the traditional way these g 7 countries the world's leading democracies the most powerful economic a liberal market economic democracies have worked together so the idea of the g 7 is that the world's leading market democracies have a common vision of of what should happen in the world economic political social they get together once a year at the g.

7 summit and they coordinate they chat they prepare a communique that outlines what they agreed and they conduct multilateral diplomacy president trump hates small. lateral diplomacy and we're seeing that now it's president trump believes that the u.s. can maximize its own interests by isolating individual countries and individual leaders leaning on them squeezing them using a combination of threats and insults on the one hand in charge on the other hand to squeeze out every possible concession from them including the u.s. is closest allies and so that's what's happening when we see how president trump staff has complained that president mccrone has put on the agenda with a term on the u.s. side ancillary issues like climate change will absolutely be around the world in fact if i can add to that it was just reported that donald trump skipped the working session today on climate. yet there you go yes so he is simply trying to use the g.

7 summit as a tool to further his america 1st foreign policy and that gets him in trouble because the u.s. china trade war and those relations that that is not a specific agenda item at the g. 7 china is not part of the g. 7 but but the trade war is something that's looming over the talks and as boris johnson suggested gently the u.k. is not in favor of a trade war of tariffs so president trump is trying to pressure boris johnson and the others to say trade war is good they're saying it's not good at all so a president trump is also trying to reform the g 7 such that it no longer is simply a forum for the leading democracies and that's by bringing are suggesting russian president putin should be reinvited so he's really out of step with the rest of his allies senior fellow at the atlantic council matthew prize that thank you very much matthew. the u.n. says the worsening humanitarian situation in northern syria could affect at least 3000000 people russian backed government forces have been shelling and launching

air strikes against targets in the last rebel held province of idlib since may and that's forced hundreds of thousands of people to leave and they're running out of places to go in kosovo reports a medley. of them have reduced the arrived in at least 10 days ago after syrian government forces captured his hometown hunchy home his one of the survivors of a chemical attack in the same town in 2017 that killed 25 members of his family including his wife and their twins after marrying again he started over but after receiving death threats from the regime he's afraid and doesn't want us to film his wife. and i couldn't even forget the pain how can i deal with losing my family and my homeland each time we say we'll stand up there's something that breaks us our hearts either in turkey or in europe up to meet once

a better life for his family and they can. have that i'm living witness of assaults crimes i want to tell the world. with the turkish border to the north sealed however the displaced in northern syria have nowhere else to go as the fighting intensifies most of these vehicles carry syrians fleeing from the south of at the border in august the number on the move has reached at least $70000.00 the influx causes a huge traffic jam in the owner of the overloaded city of it and it takes hours to move just a short distance especially in the at the refugee camp. every day there are more of these makeshift shelters under all of trees and not close to the turkish border. having been displaced several times the have a family from hama only arrived to day they got up. just came and told us to move chalet pitch my tent on the road we were displaced left everything behind

tell me know what go we do. the latest regime operations in northern hammer are putting health facilities under pressure hospitals are short of supplies and stuff humanitarian aid is needed. it's a desperate wait for many including up to wondering whether the war will catch up with them again. al-jazeera live north of us in syria. as events auburn council has declared a state of emergency in the city of port sudan after fighting between 2 rival communities killed 17 people the council sacked the prevention governor after 3 days of violence or the 100 others have been injured in the dispute between the beni on there and newburgh tribes brazil's president terrible so far as facing increasing pressure to accept international help this fire has burned out of control and the amazon rain forest 7 leaders agreed to help countries affected by the fires but brazil's leader has rejected the offer he has sent the military to

ingredients by noon but i can by going to say i have a good line it's a viable cut out by almost as though that if i was a symbol that image while yellow up of the weapon the number see nominal so i am considering the sat. it's a sense of going to get there in early in the monday i have it in the thread and. the world can start here an injury because after this the part of the game the more help from the bully they will never hear from them again ever. the parties in the. summer than the one actually town they were a little bit scared you know you can so you can tell in their faces. they hear so many stories i was sour then i mean. who wouldn't be scared you know. i would be scared to.

. for he's actually getting that there's plenty for me to do that all over and. he actually saw by you know how you do it you tell him that you can never afford it what they do is they take you in for 3 days because you'll be in the port so they want to make sure they keep your fingerprints because every day and that's to get good at that basis used to take you here will be that you don't have no more idea on that at the beach what i saw you up yet at the end will get you up that way very important 3 tonight i did a.s.a.p. . so. you. know.

that's the one. august how you say. gets old. i don't know how to say. oh i. see here. ok in the printer. there better not have. my post there's going to be a. damn this is. just for this

my birth certificate basically i thought i was going to be an idea. for ye from here yet. i don't feel nothing good about it if this only was american. wow just for this thing. to get us to. is it already done. i'm a sexy man. now

anything you look. at or experienced anything by way of computers gives good to beyond's ok fine with that. i know how to fix my errors everything i say if he has a virus like that can use. sell your watch very few sell the watch that says type it in very low you sell me i want to sell you this what started so that was all like has got to give me the price no not me trying to do it right the committee. for me it's full is it's a good watch you know it's expensive too and it brings the date i would sell it to you for at least $300.00 you know k. prepared to go down to sell. yes that's the lawyer spin yeah but you're also going to say if you decide to come

back if i'm going to need a lot of money to spend you know me they're going to terry lane leads a talented 1000. and to get down 20000000 to be from one day. for me as with you to this day get the money gets a nice card to turn nice something interesting in the contract. however you know. if you need to make. you need to think about that that's your future run it in my head and say you know what i might go back on the map and then ended up let go if you get out not happening then. the time you come by you can have a felony and with a felony in you i mean no offense i mean to defend i mean running down to hard for you to get a job. like that. they don't get it you get your picture taken. so

what do you think other look. i think there is a check to him just to realize that he needs to live here for a long. period to grieve. really get it together i mean let's take it as it together if we can get him or him have a chaos in which we can test him out. and i don't know how i feel after the same way i talked to my he told me that. they were not sure so i don't think i'm a concern only there. is a very special scenario because since the thinking years ago i put myself in his shoes you know the 1st time i ever was the porter was 18 years old. he can either come to work. you are most likely going to get into roles into games more than likely will be one of the victims that will fall as

a castle tease from the gang violence. of us want to go but i guess that was an in that all because a those are going to set a case that. i will become a doctor or a known. to have. that i mean across the street in these amounts of time it's all going to control by . by a district. a get to have fun and then it was eyes. that. i put out the office.

in these and then you're really dangerous there. are a lot of those like that at the lookout cause i looked for looked. closely at the. moment. but it does seem to. me that the court has a pretty good at it was i there but i'm. going to get those toys up really quick. and how it's going. to. be addressed this and see me that arnold has thought of in the yet the fact that up illegal around the time of these young boys what about when you get. when i meet with when. they when i mean. i assume by link is the nation one.

better than that around the house. and last year the left. as you can see me think of those seen the last. 15 years of the. earth as a little more. evil. on the brink of some. evil. ritual that. you need. to know the. truth. is there you. can get out of it one of. the characters a bit as a. girl that i cannot begin to disappear and. move.

like this unless i well. i think the usa is my country you know. it's a little bit sad that i'm not going to be there once my daughters or. i'm not going to be able to order or. you know buy her clothes. a lot she needs my help. but to be honest i can't do nothing here. and will not let up. who knew. or.

really one of those things. violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many women in india a reality too often reinforced by bollywood. but its leading star is throwing his weight behind the cause. of their journey and using his celebrity to advocate for gender equality. the snake charmers on a con witness. on a. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going

places together. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together over 100 years ago britain and france made a secret deal to divide the middle east between them now we can draw him in the 2nd

episode we explore the lasting effects of this agreement if there is a original set to 6 because it's at those borders were drawn without consulting the people who have to live with it. sykes people lines in the sand on jersey. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian finighan this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes donald trump again says he does not want regime change in tehran as iran's president signals that he's open to talks with the u.s.

. china's currency forced to an 11 year low as the trade war between beijing and the u.s. deepens. ecuador tightens its immigration rules making it more difficult for thousands of venezuelans fleeing hardship back home. lives lost homes destroyed or abandoned we're in syria to meet the families caught in the line of fire. so we begin this news hour with the g. 7 meeting in the french city of beer its leaders are wrapping up the summit that's been dominated by the u.s. china trade war and a surprise visit by iran's top diplomat president donald trump is once again insisted that he's not seeking regime change in iran but that was too soon to meet but that it was too soon to meet iran's foreign minister mohammad job and zarif meanwhile trump said that china has asked to restart trade talks in response to

another series of tariff increases he's proposed that they'll be revived shortly and there's been a breakthrough in the u.s. the dispute with france over taxes on american technology companies they've agreed on a draft proposal that will be put to heads of state later on monday let's go live now to the g. 7 summit our diplomatic editor james bays is in beirut so james president trump says that he and other g 7 leaders have quote come to a conclusion more or less on iran what does he mean. well i think he means that for now diplomacy can be tried the u.s. has had a maximum pressure policy a policy of very very tough sanctions to try and bring iran to its knees we've seen a fresh initiative in recent days by the french and president macron including inviting the iranian foreign minister here to be writs president trump and this was

the key thing says he supports that initiative he says he gave his permission for zarif to come he was going to meet him self at this stage but the u.s. i think making it clear that there is room for diplomacy now clearly there is no breakthrough in just moments ago president trump was with chancellor merkel of germany and she said things were slowly moving forward i think that puts it clearly in perspective for us parts worth also seeing what's been said in tehran because president rouhani has been speaking and he believes there is a 2 month window now for diplomacy. i believe that in order to secure our country's national interests any instrument should be used if i know that going to a meeting and visiting a person will help the country get developed and solve the people's problems i will not miss it the principle is the national interests of our nation and james what's

the latest on the us china trade war china's foreign ministry said earlier on monday that it was ready to take more steps to protect its interests if the u.s. moves ahead with an acting more tariffs. that is a tough sounding comment but at the same time we've been hearing from president trump that the chinese have picked up the phone to the u.s. side and said that they're prepared to talk so i think it's a little bit like iran we don't have any breakthrough atoll in the whole fundamental problems and differences of their parts past a window for negotiation again on the chinese on the chinese side let's listen to what president trump had to say. i mean business they want to be able to feel it's very important. what it was really a lot of things that happened and it's why resolution is

a great leader he is and it's going to be great it's going to be great this is going to be great for the world you know. he's able to do things that other people are unable to so we will call and we're going to start really shortly to. negotiate see what happens but i think we're going to make it. all now another trade dispute that one between the u.s. and france potentially over the digital services tax which targets u.s. tech companies president trump of course had said he might retaliate by taxing french wine we hear that the french finance minister and the u.s. treasury secretary of been meeting it looks like they might have come up with something whether it's actually a proper deal to deal with this or some sort of farge we believe there's some sort of mechanism president trump saying that something may be signed soon on that 2 other quick things to tell you about adrian here at the g. 7 climate they've been discussing this morning notable president trump was not in

the u.s. chair the other 6 leaders was that were there and he was not there for that meeting in the last thing is we know exactly where next year's g 7 is going to be the u.s. is the host president trump was announced to be in miami the controversial bit is he's floated the idea it might be in his own resort our diplomatic at the james bays reporting live there from the g 7 fronts many thanks mark shanahan is an associate professor and head of department for politics and international relations at the university of reading he joins us now from reading in the u.k. good to have you with us president trump has praised china's president xi on twitter calling him a great leader adding that talks are continuing what do you make of president trump's performance at the g 7 he talks tough before he gets there but appears to soften his rhetoric when he's actually face to face with other leaders. this is very much the janus face presence that we often see from trump he talks tough

because he's talking to a home audience the audience that may get him reelected in the united states next year and it's very much that domestic consumption he's not a great foreign policy predecessor president he is not a great negotiator so when he actually gets in this kind of multilateral talks he tends to go a little bit quieter he goes a little bit softer he listens a little bit more to the likes of mo call macron and the rest are around the table there and he likes to be loved and therefore he doesn't want to make terrible gaffes nor does he want to go out very much on a limb on his own so he's always quieter at this kind of made thing right talking about not wanting to make gaffes what are we to make of the mixed messages we're getting from president trump particularly over russia. this is been a great g 7 for peace in what we're saying here at the meeting in beirut it's not actually that much you know say they will always talk

a good game there is no communique at the end of this meeting but they always talk about how they are working together actually the g. 7 is probably less unified than it's ever been trump is very much an outlier we don't know what to make of his relationship with person or what hold putin has over him on the one hand he is very strong in attacking russian influence particularly within america but on the other hand he wants to welcome him back and extend this to the g. 8 he says some people are asking for a g. 8 he doesn't actually have to specify who those some people are and i suspect they're not the other 6 leaders sitting around the table as you say russia not represented at the g 7 neither is brazil does it matter. you're looking at the g 7 which essentially is the majority of the world's global wealth and the majority of the world's global trait brazil isn't in that category

norris russia russia talks a very good game but we are not talking of the empires of the past it is the struggling economy the one you might say why are they here are china and why is china not surpassed at this group at the moment. for brazil. rose sits beside trump as one of those strong populist leaders and trump doesn't want to alienate him but there is a strong pushback from the rest of the global leaders about the environmental destruction that pulse narrow it's largely causing within his own country so again we get these mixed messages we get this lack of unity and while there is a lack of unity that won't actually be a particularly strong action against bolton are you saying that it's not a good g 7 but at least it hasn't ended in acrimony like last year's and president trump appears at the moment to be policing it through to the end. though not sitting in on the key talks this morning we have the g 6 plus one at the moment so

you could talk about the europeans the canadians the japanese all being together on this and trump still being the outlier he's not a natural diplomats he doesn't like multilateral settings he prefers the art of the deal that comes from bilateral conversations and that's where things that worked well for him on this meeting he's had these little acolytes boris johnson standing one step down on the stairs looking very very pleased to be there and to get the nice words from trump that again will play well in america. everything now is about the trump campaign for 2020 setting the meeting next year in miami and again will play very very well with the trump voters and that's what he wants to achieve look at how he presents himself he is front and center he's saying that sharif was only at that meeting because of his permission it wasn't his permission to get it was an invitation from who is hosting this mixing so trump likes to feel very important

likes to feel loved and it's just about got away with it this time around barbara good to talk to you many thanks did not try to hand there in reading stock markets across asia closed shop trade down on monday on fears over the trying to u.s. trade war tokyo's benchmark nikkei index fell by more than 2 percent china's currency the yuan dropped to an 11 year low against the dollar scott hi there reports from beijing. asian markets sharply down on monday in this escalating trade war we a tit for tat tariffs being gone back and forth between the united states and china announcements on friday markets futures for those markets were sharply down over the weekend they proved to be true monday sharply down across asia now futures in america also look like they're going to be down those markets haven't opened yet but indications are the open lower but not as low as we thought over the weekend because the futures had softened a little bit something else it's quite interesting on monday the chinese currency

the yuan is down to a year low now this is reaction obviously to the market that the trade war that's been going on between these 2 countries now we know that they're supposed to be further negotiations next month in september but no details have been released about that so there's concern just where the next step is where this trade war goes from here at a concern to that we have a global slowdown in the economy so there's concern that this trade war could also prompt a global recession iran says that has deployed its most sophisticated warship to provide security for its vessels in the gulf of aden one of the busiest shipping routes in the world iran has also announced that it has sold the oil that was on board a tanker that was detained by british forces in gibraltar but to iran hasn't said who's pulled the crude c.z. of the one led to a standoff between iran and the u.k. let's go now.
