if we look at a regional economy we can see that some of the regional impact have already started to show especially for coastal exports or province like quandong. foods in so a lot of the smaller factories in those areas are consolidating and it's heating up but fortunately a lot of those laid out of laid off workers are actually absorbed by the growing services sector so the pain of unemployment caused by the trade war is actually not as painful as president trauma suggested ok if there are regional impacts in those coastal regions that you're talking about what are the chances that be in effect become toxic and spread across china in its entirety. i'm not too pessimistic about this prospect to yet at least not in the next 2 years the main reason is that china's demand and a growth is mainly relying on its domestic consumers and domestic investors so so

far we have observed that some of the longer term investment has the hard hit mostly from foreign investors because they don't want to place a plant and then it stopped then it's subject to a tariff but overall the consumption pattern suggest the tariffs resulted reduction consumption is relatively small it's mostly because of the domestic slowdown in income and expenditure and that's because a slowdown in consumption not really directly from the trade war some analysts are saying we're kind of 2 and a half or 3 years away from a global did a global slowdown anyway if this trade war between washington and beijing carries on getting worse might that. be in effect tipped over into being a global recession the likes of which we saw oh wait in 2 annoying. the global outlook is certainly getting more gloomy because of the prospect of both

u.s. slowdown and the chinese economy slowdown that's exactly exacerbated by the trade war but trade war is only part of the reason so president wanted to use a trade war to solve its domestic problems such as inequality such as creating more manufacturing jobs for those the rust belt regions but so far it hasn't been so successful and the similar thing for china and china has to solve its own problem of imbalance between investment and consumption and that doesn't have much to do with the whether china in the u.s. reaching a trade deal or not but one upside of risk is that if the trade war drags on much longer it's less likely that china would want to commit to a trade deal and that means that the global uncertainty will drag on a lot longer which means the longer term investment is even less likely to happen and if that happens that's especially for the corporate specially about news for

the corporate sector because for the corporate sector especially in the u.s. there have really indebted so they're very sensitive to the rising boring cost and with the uncertainty that's brought on by the trade war that means investors would increasingly being pushed into a safer as that's their government bond so they would have shown corporate bond and we have to really observe closely in the next year or 2 to see if the global environment improves and that depends on a lot of this trade what would turn out in beijing thank you very much. lots more still to come for you here on the news including bolivian troops join the operations to the devastating amazon wildfires. and another u.s. my shooting a mix of least 5 people dead and more than 20 injured. and in the sports news an emotional life the defending champion a teenage moment the latest u.s. open in the sport itself in about 30.

old kadafi kicked out british and u.s. forces from the country and nationalized the oil industry. it was with the new find wealth that gadhafi intended to build a modern libya the arab world was in the midst of a wave of nationalism and the colonel had promised libyans a life of prosperity based on the principles of unfed the revolution a socialist based system for the masses but he had nor clear vision for the economic development or political orientation of the country and for many years libya found itself isolated at times considered a pariah state it was only in the late 1990 s. that libya reconsidered its choices khadafi wanting to come out from international isolation libya would comply with u.n. resolutions and rid itself of the economic embargo and soon average in can said reason to $15000.00 and african high by 2008 the country enjoyed both

a budgetary surplus of 25 percent and a trade one of 40 percent of. those achievements were celebrated in 2009 during lavish crystal beauties on the 40th anniversary of the end for the revolution but despite the number. they were unbalances that couldn't be ignored resentment was brewing and came to a boy's dream protests which broke out in benghazi in 2011 in the eastern port city from well fed that revolution was launched 41 years earlier was now rebelling against it where we once again the flag of independence gone was the green one that had symbolized the revolution the rebellion spread to other parts of the country. that he wasn't prepared to let go so easily he responded with force. the rebels for back with the help of nato and some arab countries. in august 2011

their vans trailed fintry into could daffy's bastion tripoli. revolution was crumbling 2 months later libya's longtime leader was captured in his hometown of sirte he was killed a few hours later him when the principle of a revolution that never came to be played out that hammy al-jazeera. ok let's take a look back now at the changes libya has gone through in the 50 years since gadhafi got into power 27 he was seen as a revolutionary having overthrown libya's monarchy in a bloodless coup to turn it into a socialist states gadhafi went on to rule for 42 years in 1902 sanctions were imposed on libya over the lockerbie bomber attack on a jumbo jet was blown out of the sky over scotland killing 270 people sanctions were eventually lifted in 2003 after libya admitted responsibility for lockerbie and agreed to compensate victims families in 2008 the u.s.

secretary of state condoleezza rice made the highest level u.s. visit to libya since 1953 then she said both countries had entered quotes a new phase just 3 years later violent protests spread from benghazi to other cities resulting in foreign intervention and the killing of colonel gadhafi the longest serving arab leader. following years of conflict a new u.n. backed unity government was created in tripoli but it's been a power struggle and fighting between rival governments ever since let's get more on this joining us here in the news hour is terry use of who's in tripoli he's a senior fellow and director at the brookings doha center terek use of 50 years on what's colonel gadhafi is legacy. i would say were partly in the state we face in libya today state of instability and security violence and a civil war that appears to have no end in sight in part due to the legacy of

50 years 40 years of which duffey did not invest in the country's institutions gadhafi did not make social economic development social cohesion nation building. and a prosperous stable and secure libya operate out of him precisely in the way that your program had introduced in 2011 as that if you collapse and gadhafi exit it political libya's political life the reality of how much damage how much dysfunction and how much for agility in the country became clear and it made for a very difficult transition since then ok a host of other reasons allow me to interrupt you briefly he did have his famous green book that he went to again and again and again was that aside for arab nationalism was it genuine arab nationalism because in the early days you know he

did take on the big western oil companies and he won that fight against them but was a plus or was it just his own doctrine spawn a something else. i think some of the appeal to out to arab nationalism in the in the 1st few years what are widely perhaps recognized and accepted and maybe even cheered by large segments of libyans this was the late sixty's early seventy's pan arab nationalism was the flavor of the day. but the economy on the eve of the cool 969 was on busy a very positive trajectory there was a vibrant private sector oil revenues were beginning to help modernize the country spread the wealth and engineer it very widely shared social economic development it is the choices after the early 1970 s.

that set the country on the wrong track. top down management of the economy polity and society so highly personalized view that mix socialism and nationalism with a an iron fist through coupled with the isolation confrontation and conflicts and tensions with the international community it is those choices that gadhafi made that had set the stage for 40 years of in fact the country going in the opposite direction becoming isolated the embargoes the sanctions and libyans experiencing deterioration in their standards of living certainly relative to the potential that the country had experienced and the outlook that the country had enjoyed on the eve of the coup in $1069.00 and it is those issues and those choices that are part and parcel of the legacy of what the country had faced when he exited libya in 2011 ok

given your own political and academic background your name is being mentioned in terms of holding political office in the country in the future how would you deal with for example. after a man who does style himself along the same lines as colonel gadhafi how would you deal with the benghazi issue how would you deal with i saw i saw in the south of the country is still there and they are doggedly not going away. i don't think any future leader or group of leaders or group of activists in libya's government in the future are going to have an easy past or an easy. time thinking through the priorities and off putting and presenting the libyans and our regional neighbors and the international community with a credible plan this is going to require a lot of thinking a lot of reflection on a lot of deliberations 1st and foremost it would require stabilizing the country of

the moment arriving at some sort of a truce ending the violence and more importantly managing the public's expectations libya's looking at a long term period of political reconciliation social peace building state institutions that he have billet a show of economic the restoration of economic development basic public services those are the priorities that would form a part of any national project and that would be all clearly for our neighbors that all starts with ending the regional interventions and in libya forming that i partnerships with the international community to support to support that it turned enough stability prosperity. and security to the country dealing with isolation any other forms of terrorism that emotion the country but i would say relative to 2011 where the sky seemed to be the limit of dreams and aspirations moment of your 40

unlimited optimism that the other 3 of where libya is today suggest that it's going to be a long journey and it would require a lot of dedicated efforts with a lot of important support coming both from the international community and put a mission on neighbors will have to change course change choices and it would require ending the violence that we see spreading in the country that was launched by $35.00 to on april 4th of 2001 kate we must leave it there mr yousef thank you so much. in a few moments we'll have the weather for you but also still to come here on the news of voters are heading to the polls in germany in an election that could boost the far right and their immigration message. also ahead he wants to see for himself at the u.n. as it's the front line of the of. the democratic republic of congo. it was a memorable day in the caribbean for this indian cricketer details on that story in the schools in about 20.

communist east germany our correspondent dominic joins us live now from brandenburg germany dawn good afternoon what's at stake in these significant elections that. this is going to consider these elections is 2 fold in the 1st instance you have voters from 2 large east german states voting for a new parliament and therefore new governments and of course this is the 30th the year the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall just a few months away and now and many east germans are thinking back to the times of communism and asking themselves what has been achieved in the past 30 years there is a degree of nostalgia for those times among parts of the population the question will be what effect will that have on their voting behavior certainly many parties have referred to what the germans refer to as the vendor change the turn around

communism left and capitalism democracy replaced it's also at stake here the other important factor is that governments might change the 2 states concerned our government a combination of the christian democrats saxony the social democrats in brandenburg indeed in this state polling station that i'm standing outside the point here is that if the government's change it may change the way that the federal germany is governed and of course what ever result emerges from these 2 states will be avidly watched in the capital in the federal capital berlin what effect might the opinion of the electors in these 2 german states have on the federal picture 5 and a half 1000000 people are eligible to vote in these elections that's one in 3 east germans it is therefore almost like a mini referendum 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall dominic thanks very much. the head of the united nations is visiting the front line of the ebola

from. eastern bolivia. soldiers arrived in sunday to help combat wildfires. settled by missionaries in the late sixty's hundreds has been converted into an operation center for the firefighting effort. night in the wildfires spreading out of control fanned by strong winds approve long drought and extremely high temperatures and. we feel sad to see how the animals in the forest are burning but we are proud to be able to help these soldiers are going off again to fight the fires but as you can see they're not very well equipped they don't look like firemen they don't have the equipment of firemen their boats have rubber soles that can easily melt in the flames and in the intense heat and they also don't have the proper masks to protect them from the 6 smoke and from smoke inhalation. thousands of young volunteers and

joining them coming. from ecuador. but i have never before but if you lose the nerves of steel and then a limb to do it. isn't just the believe the problem it's all of because the tropical forest is fundamental to what i saw. this part of eastern bolivia is kept . country nearly 2 months ago the government signed a decree authorizing ranchers to expand the grazing frontier using fire to clear the tropical forest cattle is good business says the mare. the president signed that they carry in their presence of the leaders of the cattle ranchers didn't take into account the weather or the fact that the drought makes it very dangerous to clear the land which they don't care and this is the result. the decree hasn't been rescinded despite more than 1500000 hector is livia's amazon and

she get on a tropical forests destroyed so far by fire. tears pray for god to send them rain. 7 and for a time it seems their prayers are answered. the mare is jubilant the night shower is insufficient to stop the catastrophe but given the circumstances people here believe every drop counts you see in human son ignacio bolivia. was staying with us through the fires in brazil's a region of course tensions between brazil and the european union of east european countries have frozen donations to what's called the fund it's a move that could impact dozens of environmental projects to reason reports now from it's a power in brazil. every day because who somebody see there goes into the national park to look for seeds he's trying to preserve the rain forest and the dozens of

species that live in it. the threat of deforestation has become a major problem and then goes like the earth there are fighting back and what do we . what we are seeing is really bad and they're burning the pores so our work looks into encouraging families to enroll in comic alternatives i don't destroy the forests have environmental impact or killed over. there that is growing fountains of trees every year and help locals make a living while also caring for the environment the ngos funded by what's called the amazon fund handled by the government the fundraising is donations to help fight deforestation in amazonia deforestation and the fires have already destroyed large sectors of the amazon rain forest but there are projects like this one that are trying to preserve and re forest the areas that have been already devastated there are more than 40 species here of trees and crops the problem is that projects like

this one are now at risk. germany and norway are crucial sponsors of the fund that helps over $100.00 projects like this one but they have halted all payments to condemn president jade also now those environmental policies. well we are better has managed to reforest $800.00 hectares of trees this year. alexandra gatos fears a drop in donations will impact their work. but we're very concerned but we've been working on our projects through the amazon fund and petrobras for a long time that being said sir t.g. clee we're already looking for other sources of funding we want to find ways so that the funds don't go through the government. a long time skeptic of environmental concerns wants to open the amazon to more agriculture and mining yes even a dig out of those who has been working to protect indigenous groups living in london for years she has been threatened by loggers and miners but international funding

has allowed her to do her work but there's a. we have much more work now because the local environmental authorities are committed to the cause but feel alone threatened and without support from the government so we are trying at least to show the world there are people who care about the environment but we don't have any support instead we are being weakened by the government's narrative. and she'll say they're ready to fight attempt to commercialise the rain forest but need international aid to do so they say they can protect what brazil's president will not. be. brazil. still to come for you here on the news is 1st.
