2:02 pm
zukowski near the russian capital moscow an interesting place to have such a meeting step what are we what are we going to hear hearing that's going to come out that. well indeed 3 shallow way here i distract ocular airshow and actually president out of one has arrived here 2 hours ago but both leaders haven't been able to discuss the real issue of their meeting which is of course the situation in italy he has been treated to disappear show he has been shown around in this expo. the latest sukhoi $57.00 fighter jet and it seems that putin is in a silent mood but it's not so clear if one is in a buying mood basically he has come here hastily after a phone call on friday with president putin where he described the situation in it live as a humanitarian disaster and even a threat to national security in turkey he wants president putin to rein in the
2:03 pm
syrian forces but president putin's spokesman said he understands the concerns of the one but he also is very worried about the movements of these rebels also against russian forces so basically during this whole spectacular environment there will be some very serious talks also russia is kind of impatient with how turkey has been responding since that deal a year ago in sochi where they promised to rein in the rebels and also disarm them russia feels not much has happened on that front so we'll wait in a few hours hopefully we'll hear more about what is actually the outcome of this meeting 7 live for us thank you. iran's president says his country will not hold talks on any nuclear deal with the u.s. and less all sanctions are lifted his comments came a day after u.s. president onil trump said at the g. 7 summit in france that it was open to meeting the iranian leader president manuel knock on his offer to facilitate talks between the 2 sides but audiences washington
2:04 pm
must take the 1st step for talks to happen pass by being to do it the 1st step is to remove sanctions without that this lock won't be open all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted they are all illegitimate and cruel if you lift the sanctions and apologize to the wrong then you would be a different situation this government is moving forward in line with this national interest we have been open to negotiation and the word agrees with this fact al-jazeera as us abate has more from tehran. president rouhani has been speaking in front this morning and he took the opportunity to address some of the news coming out of the g. 7 mainly that donald trump has said that he's willing to meet president rouhani if the conditions are right now what president rouhani has said is he's reiterated the iranian line that there will be no talks and negotiations as long as the u.s. sanctions in place he said that all sanctions against iranian nation must be lifted
2:05 pm
that illegitimate and cruel now iran has referred to the sanctions as economic terrorism. experts have been drastically reduced the banking sector has been affected and the economy has also been affected president rouhani said that he did not see any positive developments unless the united states change the wrong path it was on now this is very different from what president rouhani said yesterday because what he said yesterday gave people some hope that he was willing to sit down and talk to president donald trump president rouhani said yesterday that if he had to attend a meeting with somebody or someone to forward in national cause and to alleviate the people's problems he would do that for the national interest now overnight that seems to have changed and that could be because of the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini who decides all the major policy directions because in the past he has said that iran will not sit down with the united states as long as the sanctions are in place in fact he's called it double poison basically saying that you are
2:06 pm
sitting down with the very people that are making your country suffer so it looks like there has been a change overnight and iran is reiterating its positions that there are no talks no negotiations as long as 2 u.s. sanctions are in place to talk about war has more from the g. 7 summit where france's president called on tehran and washington take it back to the negotiating table. the prospect of a meeting between us who were a new president was not an likely outcome of the g 7 in berates but as the summit came to an end its host the french president suggested talks between donald trump and hassan rouhani were possible. at some point there has to be a meeting between the iranian president and the us president i hope that in the next few weeks this meeting will take place france plays a role along with the other partners who signed the iran deal trump who pulled the u.s. out of the 2015 iran nuclear deal last year and imposed sanctions said he was open
2:07 pm
to diplomacy we're looking for nuclear weapons globalist missiles and a longer period of time very simple we can have it done in a very short period of time. and i really believe that iran can be a great nation i'd like to see that happen the development came one day after the unexpected arrival of the iranian foreign minister in berates just odds are reef was invited by the french president who had been asked by some g 7 leaders to mediate in the crisis. trust conciliatory tone has also extended to trade he said beijing and washington could begin talks to resolve the tariffs dispute going into this summit a man or mackerel said he wanted to use it to make progress on the escalating tensions over iran and trade help tackle the amazon rain forest fires and kill divisions using multilateral cooperation at the end of the 3 day meeting it seems
2:08 pm
the french president has succeeded on several fronts they were unresolved issues though the u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson received only a vague promise of a future trade accord with the u.s. and was no nearer to a deal on breaks it with the european union i think it's the job of everybody in parliament to get this thing done making it what the people want i also think by the way it would offer partners on the other side of the channel what they want they want this thing done they want they want it over last year trump refused to sign the final g 7 statement this year has scrapped it replacing it with a one page summary of the meeting so with no commitments in writing the challenge will be to. pelley just a. promo says they have made. al-jazeera. china and says there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade those comments came after the u.s. president said there had been talks on the phone
2:09 pm
a monday donald trump predicted there would be a trade deal with china very soon the 2 sides have increased tariffs on each other and recent days scott heiler has the latest from beijing the chinese government flat out said no that hasn't happened so i guess as you mention obviously there have been a lot of mistruths out there that have been stated about many different things that a lot of it about this trade war so i guess one way to maybe interpret this is maybe this is a negotiation tactic that present donald trump has deployed and existing there is a little bit of a reeling back by his officials there who are with him at the g 7 meetings saying that yes there's been contacts so he went back from 2 specific phone calls and yes there's been contact chinese government saying no that hasn't happened at all but you also have to look at from the other side maybe this is a negotiating tactic from the chinese too so there's a lot of. fog of understanding around this but right now the chinese government official line saying there has been no contact about moving these trade talks forward one thing that's interesting to note they were already scheduled supposedly
2:10 pm
to to go ahead in september with some meetings but we haven't heard any details about that particularly after we saw this kind of very heated tit for tat last friday and then over the weekend. brazil has rejected an offer of $20000000.00 from g 7 leaders to help countries affected by fires burning in the amazon presenter boston are said the idea of creating an international alliance to save the rainforest rates this country like a colony and report some ports avail one of the worst affected areas. look from one side of the plane and the amazon is verdant pristine teeming with life too big to destroy then this suddenly it's gone. the rates of deforestation in recent months breaking all records fires are started by speculators aiming to impose man's will on nature but they often rage out of control and the devastation is immeasurable. mice force this year the fires are
2:11 pm
much stronger than previous years they are very very strong affecting our visibility on work i think people took advantage of the dry season to start the fires they do it to dispose of them wanted vegetation to enrich the soil and clear the way for lucrative cattle ranches and soya plantations only from up here you got to say something to remember of. the day of the destruction 1st of all the great waves of round up ready i think to run for by the fire of recent weeks. this is a job also nod off a strong criticism from around the world that he wasn't doing enough to fight the fire as has deployed the military these hercules c. 130 s taking off from port to spray some of the affected areas that's a bit of salim issue all the order was given on thursday and by excessive day beyond he was supporting the operation so personal of being in the field since dean combatting the flies on sunday it rained which also helped to put out the flies.

2:16 pm
they're watching out as they're allowed to make up the top stories right now president raja thai part one is in russia where he's meeting with president vladimir putin expected to discuss the war in syria moscow and ankara back opposing sides and that conflicts president says his country will not hold talks with the us and us all sanctions are lifted on his comments came a day after president obama said he was open to meeting. and china and sister in a recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade and those comments came after the u.s. president said there had been calls between the 2 sides. british opposition leader says he will do everything he can to prevent the u.k. from leaving the e.u. without a deal that includes calling a no confidence vote and british prime minister boris johnson's government organise leading cross party talks on how to avoid a no deal lawrence lee joins us live. or it's how united is the
2:17 pm
opposition when it comes to bracks. well that they're united to the extent that they none of them wants a no deal brick seats but that's really about as far as it goes and the problem really full of them is that time is perilously schulze parliament doesn't come back here until next week and is only about 8 or 1016 days of parliament before the end of october when boris johnson the prime minister said that the u.k. will leave one way or the other and so jeremy coleman is trying to present himself as the man who can step in as a sort of interim prime minister to bring down the government or leasehold the election in some sort of cleansing process. but the problem is that they they are not really united at seoul that the main form corbin's had is a most of the other opposition policy and conservatives don't want the deal just think he's too left wing and they won't support him and so even though the optics of the mixing is not carried on in his office behind me where he's in with the
2:18 pm
scottish nationalists and the liberal democrats and the welsh nationalists and the green and the make it look like they've got this sort of united front it doesn't really go any further than that because they don't want to support him as the interim prime minister there are no conservatives in the room only the based on that they couldn't actually gets the majority in the confidence votes against boris johnson and as i've said over and over again the main thing the leave has in his favor is still the disorganization of the remains so we have heard from a national. leader of bracks and just a few minutes ago what he have to say. well you know. i mean no brakes it's ever good enough really for him that the problem of bricks apologies got now is that if they did so well in the earlier in the year in the european elections but people do seem to be more and more convinced that boris johnson could actually do bricks and so consequently in the in the opinion polls the conservative policy is now quite a long way heads and the back seat policies going down suit 15 percent so so in the
2:19 pm
last poll and so consequently in order to make themselves look as if as if they could still be a force in a general election here. and these people are busy saying that you can't you can't trust the conservatives and they've been parading all these new candidates sin in for general election but the overriding very very donald trump style message from national firearms is you can't trust boris johnson city bricks if this is how he put it. can you trust boris johnson this is you. can you just the conservative policy. base is you. you see even without the backstop this is the worst deal in history. but perhaps the most significant thing that's happening is that the european union seems actually to be more trusting in boris johnson than that than you might think they thought when he took over that that he really couldn't do it but buddy
2:20 pm
apparently he went down very well at the g. 7 in france there's a lot of phone calls going on between johnson european leaders and potentially if a deal to avoid a no till breaks it seems now is on some we're going to be back on the table perilously of time really difficult to know at this point if there's going to be a general election all something to rescue something in the middle when parliament starts next week is going to be pretty explosive sure. we'll be there live for us and star lawrence thank you. the grim existence of women trafficked from nigeria is being highlighted in a new report victims of trafficking described how they prayed for death or cried until they couldn't cry anymore human rights watch says an unknown number of nigerian women have been forced into sexual slavery and physical labor many before the age of 17 the report says the support for survivors is inadequate and existing systems either fail to help or sometimes breach victims rights human rights watch
2:21 pm

2:22 pm
very distressed they come they have come back with a lot of pain and with a lot of trauma and poverty unfortunately is the nice man does not and when they come back to nigeria because many of the government side they say silence king and . some of them are locked up in government run shelters where as they are not allowed to leave will they announce a lot to communicate with their families almost replicating some of their conditions that they they experience when they are with their trafficker and then services for mental health care you know very night equated services to help them and leaving you know make some money be able to support themselves and their families are really lacking so really that their situation is not good. hundreds of venezuelans have protested in colombia at the border with ecuador demanding to be allowed add that are blocked after new visa controls went into effect on monday of course for in peru and chile and trying to curb the number of venezuelans economic
