5:02 pm
the 2 presidents are meeting what are we expecting step to come out of this meeting if anything today. well adrian it's clear that both leaders have a lot to discuss because they have been in this formal talks for more than 2 hours now and they were supposed to be finished already like an hour ago but they're still continuing and before this formal meeting happened put in there gave earlier on a tour on this aerospace expo and he was also treated to an extensive air show both leaders all to discuss to exchange high technology and they were joking about buying a sukhoi 57 spider jets but that was all still informal the real reason of course that erdogan is here is because he wants to discuss it live and he described the situation there as a humanitarian crisis and also said that it is a threat to national security in turkey and russia's president spokesman he said
5:03 pm
that of course putin understands turkish concerns were to use worried about the rebel forces and also the threat they pose against russian forces so basically erdogan wants put into rein in the syrian forces but the big question here is how much he wants to compromise after you fear he feels that erdogan fails to live up to a disagreement one year ago in sochi and he didn't do what he promised which was this arming these rebel forces i was arrested 1st reporting live there from should come in russia many thanks indeed. iran's president says his country won't hold talks on any nuclear deal with the u.s. unless all sanctions are lifted his comments come a day after u.s. president donald trump said that he was open to them beating the iranian to beating the iranian leader if the circumstances are right trouble speaking at the g.
5:04 pm
7 summit in france president emanuel mccrone has offered to facilitate talks between the 2 sides but insists that washington must take the 1st step for talks to happen pass. on the 1st step is to remove sanctions without it 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 iran 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. more now on the g. 7 summit where the french president called on to washington to get back to the negotiating table. the prospect of a meeting between the u.s. president was not unlikely outcome of the g. 7 in berates but is the summit came to an end it's the french president suggested
5:05 pm
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 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 jeffard sorry for his invited by the french president who'd been asked by some g 7 leaders to mediate in the crisis. trust conciliatory tone was also extended to trade he said beijing and
5:06 pm
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 to help tackle the amazon rain forest fires and kill divisions using multilateral cooperation at the end of the 3 day meeting it seems 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 what the people want by the way it's what our friends and partners on the other side of the channel want 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
5:07 pm
a one page summary of the meeting so with no commitments in writing the challenge will be to. compel leaders to. pull promises they have made. al-jazeera. you just heard in the tasha's report about how trump talked positively about resolving trade issues with china but on tuesday beijing insists that 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 by phone on monday donald trump predicted there would be a trade deal with china very soon the 2 sides of increased tariffs on each other's goods in recent days has more for us now from beijing the chinese government reiterating that has not had a direct contact with its trade delegation and that of the united states this is something that donald trump contended at the g. 7 summit meetings on monday also was reiterated again by his treasury secretary but china said no they said that late monday and also said that again on tuesday and
5:08 pm
they also took the opportunity to tell the united states that stop taking wrong action that comes to dealing with this threat we're also something coming out of the g. 7 summit reacting here in china they said that this see no british agreement from 1904 at the g. 7 member said that needs to be upheld in hong kong china has said no that is an outdated document and that things have moved on from that this is something the chinese government has said in the past and also took this as an opportunity to tell the international community particular g 7 some members that this is an internal matter and essentially to butt out of china's business france's president about to look wrong has criticized brazil's president for refusing to accept aid from the g 7 to fight the fires in the amazon speaking on french t.v. macross said the world cannot allow brazil's government to destroy everything on monday chey 7 leaders agreed to give 20 $1000000000.00 to countries tackling those files but brazil's president job also rejected that offer saying that it amounts to
5:09 pm
treating his country like a colony. country and when we have major events we accept international solidarity because it's a sign of friendship but above all there are 9 countries in the amazon and many other countries ask for help it's important to mobilize it quickly so that colombia bolivia and brazil in regions that are would like to have access to this international help can have it and can reforest quickly. and now there's been a response from brazil's president also naras meeting with regional governments in the capital brasilia for more on that let's to talk to well just as daniel swallow his import of bellow in the north western states of. don't you want as president bush not to say. well i think the level of debate between both the noddle and mccrone has reached kind of almost schoolboy proportions it was i mean the insults started when mccrone posted
5:10 pm
a facebook picture suggesting that his wife was prettier than mccrum his wife recalled with. reacted to that by saying he hoped was ill would then get one day get the press the president they deserve a note insinuating that also not all was not properly representing the brazilian people so the level of debate starts from that base and then all of this this talk about whether brazil world wants or not the $20000000.00 it's been offered also naldo is suggesting that brazil can look after its own problems that the situation is not as bad as the international community is making out as i say while him and emanuel not good on a talking in those terms it's unlikely we're going to reach any kind of firm conclusions or sensible conclusions so the problem is it does seem as though the fires are more or less out and now certainly the severe fires. are not all is speaking to the governors of the various amazonian provinces to his government
5:11 pm
officials they are they admit that their worst severe fires but they say that they're part of the current says during the dry season that the military are now out there putting the fires out the rainy season is just arriving and that these are areas right for development also not a wants to see more people moving into these areas like what i am now he wants and he suggests the only way to do that is to chop down trees further deforestation. and that results in the burning of the stubble that remains before cattle ranch. can be implemented in these kind of regions no more outside intervention and he says basically brazil can look after its own problems. thanks to. reporting live from port of l o at least 5 people including a child have drowned after a boat capsized off the coast of libya libyan coast guard says that at least 65 people were rescued when the vessel went down city east of tripoli the boat was

5:13 pm
amounts of rain has been formed just yet it's going to be pushing across the northern philippines so what it will do is produce some very heavy amounts of rain mostly clear wednesday across much of that coast of china so hong kong and dry day some rain pushing into shanghai and it'll stay very wet in shanghai on thursday and then as this storm system pushes to the west of the philippines some of these outer feeder bands re pushing that rain along all of these coastal areas so like you see some showers in hong kong and then we had across towards india now there's certainly plenty of rain in the forecast here this time of year is when the india met office actually look at the figures and so far this has been a good monsoon year so the rains are pretty much what they expect to see so very close to the average but as we go through wednesday there's some more warnings in place for having rains across into areas of madhya pradesh and also out across the west into good right now that should improve their by thursday but the rains pretty heavy again across these west coast and again down into carola and really becoming fairly widespread across much of nepal as well so
5:14 pm
a wet day in new delhi on thursday with the high the 35 celsius. is a dialogue that you decide to have children and it's what the stake is really by of all everyone has a voice that i start with our community because of course this is a debate and it's a heated one this is. literally being able to do a ph d. ideally join the global conversation with people i think if only they knew what is happening to. play will be with us and they will be outraged.
5:15 pm
hello again this is of 0 for much of the top stories this hour turkey's president richard burr the one is a russia ways meeting with president vladimir putin they're expected to discuss the war in syria and corrupt back opposing sides of the conflict. iran's president says his country won't hold talks with the u.s. unless all sanctions are lifted his comments come the day after president obama said that he was open to meeting with. china insists there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk trade the comments came after the u.s. president said there had been a telephone call between the 2 sides. a group of british opposition parties has agreed to work together to try to prevent a no deal bragg's it they say that they'll pass through legislation or even hold a vote of no confidence to prevent the u.k. leaving without an agreement the move comes a week before m.p.'s return from their summer break new prime minister boris
5:16 pm
johnson has vowed to take the u.k. out of the e.u. over 31st with or without a deal let's go live now to london lawrence lee is there for us in westminster lawrence tell us more about this opposition groups deal and whether it'll be enough to head off a prime minister who appears to have built up a head of steam over the last few days. yeah that's true it's a tactical consideration really adrian in the end the main opposition leader was to jamie colby leader of the labor party and his proposed option had been to try to hold a no confidence vote and boris johnson try to unseat him that way and install him selves interim prime minister while some new deal was hatched but the trouble is it was to be pointed out to him that she can't win a confidence vote in that sense because he would need a number of renegade conservatives who don't support no deal either and they all made it very clear that under no circumstances could they support jeremy corbett as interim prime minister because they just regard him as being far too left wing and
5:17 pm
so based on that the idea of a conference has a sort of out of the window for the time being except as an absolute last resort and in state this much wider group opposition parties liberals greens scottish nationalists and all the rest of have decided that they will try to do what polman did much earlier this year to try to take control of the order papers it's called take control of of events and force a delay that happened it's reason main in april and that's why it was delayed until the end of october the question of course is if they do succeed in doing that which they very well might what does boris johnson do he could just say i'm not even listening to you were doing anyway and what you know even if you say you're in control no deal is still the default position and simply tried to ignore them if he did that there would be a full blown crisis and probably would have to be a vote of confidence or which i suspect is probably more likely johnson with and call a snap election and that's why i still think that looks to be the more likely of
5:18 pm
all the eventualities going into the autumn because that election would effectively end up being a 2nd referendum on bracks it's on knots because all the parties would then have to say specifically what their position is but have this extraordinary situation where international action people wouldn't be anything apart from membership of the european union but i. the stage now that things seem to have got moments when he thinks i was there as long as lee that life was still. thousands of people in sudan have been forced to abandon their homes to the heavy flooding at least 62 people have been killed and 100 injured the health ministry says the roads are blocked and many buildings have collapsed a lot of farmland is on the water the military has been deployed to help in the floods follow 2 months of heavy rains although it on the situation here is very difficult almost 7000 houses have been completely destroyed the sudanese people here are in dire need of clothes and medicine we also need more tense because
