confusing and worrying travelers and you cannot go back to the place where you wanted to go. and that people are afraid because of what's happening here i called orders in place designed to prevent protesters coming anywhere near here it clearly didn't was that legal action was taken after their last raid on the airport which saw people camp inside the terminal for several days. all they do is all hong kong airport is very important to the economy we chose here to try to paralyze it a make a point instead of randomly picking street talk e.p.i. it's most better to come here. i this time the sight of the police moving in was enough to force a retreat for most of. those not quick enough were arrested was in the end the protest to stay at the airport was a relatively brief one but again they proved they can strike at what they say is

a soft target before the police moved in to retake the air. still it would be a long time before transport began to return to normal meaning long walks for many travelers the demonstrators may have moved on but they weren't done seemingly frustrated by the closure of a nearby train station they vented their anger leaving it in disarray. as night falls the protesters fanned out to different locations and the police don't seem to be able to match the agility of those trying to chase was and when it's time for a police retreat loitering protesters and many people living in areas where some of the violence has taken place find their voices again as the officers leave they're not cheered as keepers of the peace instead jeered as the enemy and symbols of a system many here are trying to change wayne hay al jazeera hong kong. another round of u.s. tariffs on chinese goods has gone into it say china has raised import taxes on

$75000000000.00 worth of american goods because you know you has more from beijing . shoppers come to beijing send you and lee market to buy all kinds of imported food including american greg cherries but it's fast becoming a casualty of china's trade with the u.s. tariffs have already gone up twice pushing the price of a killer to around $25.00 and from to temper the 1st tariffs on us cherries will be raised from 50 to 60 percent then it is looking for cheaper alternatives to what the chinese fruits are very good the price is much cheaper than american products the quality is also very good so more and more people are choosing local fruits higher prices are the only reason shoppers are considering buying less from the u.s. . for me being pretty arctic is something more important for me to consider than the price we are trainees and we are all affected that by the time the us treats

war cherries may be the most popular american product at this market but it's not the only for it that will receive high it's harrods new duties will also apply to things like american palms grades and apples $75000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods will see tariffs of between 5 and 10 percent china will also reinstate import taxes of 25 percent and u.s. cars in december the hikes of the chinese government's response to the trumpet ministrations rate is trade was over 10 percent tariffs on $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods also coming into effect in september and december analysts say the u.s. president has been a confusing and unreliable negotiating partner i don't think the president trumps remarks serious recording his forest ranger. the stick figure. in order to push let's talk there you must get. much bigger stick china's comus ministry says it doesn't want to escalate tensions and is open to more talks

with the u.s. but it would again underestimating china's willingness to dig its heels in for the long fight if you fight or will fight back if you're talk good let's talk but we have principles will never yield our principles by weakening its currency and developing new trade partnerships china is taking steps to ensure its economy is less vulnerable to any new moves by truck in the trade. and as demand for things like the u.s. cherry slower china is finding cheaper alternatives from countries such as pakistan and chile are ripe for the picking katrina you al-jazeera beaching. well there's plenty more ahead on the news hour including. i was near mosul and i'll tell you how changing water levels led to the discovery of one of the most ancient cities that iraq has found in our high water levels of submerged once again. in sports the number 2 seed suffers a surprise defeat at the tennis u.s.

open and is here with that story that. support for the far right alternative for germany party has surged into state elections east of the country that's close not to london to marry him and the team in our european broadcasts and. hi judy that's right the exit polls are currently showing the chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. and her coalition partners the s.p.d. of both seen their vote share drop significantly the f.t. has come 2nd in both the states of brandenburg and saxony. the party harnessed voter anger over refugees in the economic disparities that remain between the east in the west 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall the results are seen as a major setback for the ruling federal coalition so let's just take

a closer look at what exit polls are currently indicating in brandenburg the s.p.d. managed to cling on to 1st place in the state gaining some 27.5 percent with the f.t. in 2nd place on $22.00 and a half percent just south in saxony it's a similar picture with the f.t. securing 27.5 percent of the vote there by merkel c.d.u. party on 32 percent and that's a significant drop from the last election which was in 2014 will dominate cain is in part stam and joins us now dominic the 2 big parties of managed to win 1st place in these state elections but they have suffered a decline in their popularity tell us more about what these results are showing. well one thing to point out immediately merriam as you were saying is the real drop in support for the 2 main parties the mainstream parties as it were they govern

this country together in a grand coalition and they governed the 2 states electing today separately in saxony the christian democrats are saying the americans party is being said in the introduction they lost 80000 more than into the 80000 of their voters from 2014 went directly to the a d. the point here is these are heartlands for christian democrats in saxony and the social democrats in brandenburg let's be clear about it the burden for all fell 30 years ago this november since then since the return of democracy to these 2 states these 2 parties the social democrats and the christian democrats separately have governed these 2 states and yet now a party of the far right has come 2nd a close 2nd to those 2 parties with an agenda as you were saying a very tough agenda on migrants on immigration but also with a manifesto pledge saying we need to change the change that germany underwent in

east germany under what they called it divan in germany the slogan of the f.t. was full and complete the changes in the say how they would do it they were trying to harness a sense in this particular part of journey in east of germany people feel dissatisfied with what 30 years of democracy and capitalism have brought them all right thank you very much we'll get more from dominic k. nato later but for now thank you dominic cain and stan let's discuss this and more with having a social scientist and a research associate at the london school of economics joins us via skype from can see just outside in and so as dominic was saying that the 2 mainstream parties might have secured 1st place in the state elections but they have seen a significant drop in their share of the vote this ruling coalition was already suffering from instability will it be able to survive until federal elections in 2021. you know well i mean i don't think the bearing on the federal government will

be as direct and depends also what the basis of comparison is i mean of course if you compare it to the last election result in these respective states and 2014 the drop is significant but if you compare it to the most recent election european elections in may the fear was really that they if they would become the strongest party in both states actually and then brought about for instance social democrats surged about 10 percent in 2 weeks so at the moment is more feeling of relieving the media comparison but in general terms of this lady analysis is right that there has been a significant rise of the a of the which will have repercussions later on but at the moment i think the federal government is in a reflection period anyway the social democrats are looking for a new party leader there is a scheduled review of the federal government at the end of the year and we'll see how does government continues and if it continues in the new year. these 2 for these 2 states are in the form a east germany just tell us why 30 years after the

fall of the palin wall this particular particular election is has a significance to it while there's some contradict this contradictory evidence of a media analysis that dominic put forward is is true that there was an economic trauma. in german states suffered during unification about 30 years ago and some of the economic disparities passed on to the next generation and is also quite significant that given that as so many who are saying they have he was competing with fall in that even the or when the 2.0. that the support of the is reasonably strong in the age group of $25.00 to $60.00 either generation that did not actually bring about the. cajun and the poor of the berlin wall so there is some some contradictory evidence that it's basically this run your i guess they've managed to capitalize on a lack of jobs and investment in the region and discontent over immigration policy

as well. yes but immigration topic is not as pronounced as it was in 20162017 so that's lower down on the agenda and in terms of jobs i mean we are facing broadly an economic downturn generally speaking the german economy has been doing reasonably well but there has not been shared equally so there are legitimate concerns in specially some of these the parts about economic and social development these will have to be addressed well thank you very much henning meyer joining us there from file can see just outside thank you for your analysis thank you in other developments at a ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of world war 2 germany's president has asked for poland's forgiveness and the terror inflicted on the country chairing the nazi era front alter steinmeier made the play alongside his polish counterpart. in the city of wilen where the 1st gen and arms fell

biggest harry reid ever seen. that's a problem that's a problem plan to gallagher joins us now live from miami beach hi there andy where is dorian right now i believe it's across the island nation of the bahamas and what's it doing there. all right now this is forecasters say the most powerful hurricane to hit the bahamas it's getting the northeast islands at the moment there has been a warning from the president for people to get out the way and get to higher ground as soon as possible to many people have ignored that that is a saying about dorian not only is this a very powerful storm with sustained winds of around 300 kilometers an hour and gusts of around 300 kilometers per hour there is also predicted to be a storm surge of at least 6 meters but it's going to linger over the bahamas for they think around 2 days so we're going to keep a very close eye on that situation not looking good for the people of bahama of the

bahamas but the big question is what happens next where does this storm go on the predictions at the moment is that dorian once it passes over the bahamas in 2 days' time will then take a twist cling to the coastline the east coast of florida before curling around as it gets up towards georgia and the carolinas but there are again center is saying look this is far from over yet the storm may slow down even more than it already has and it could just get bumped into wards of florida coast so there are mandatory evacuation orders in places like palm beach county just north of those people in mobile homes are being told to to get out of the way so the chances of it having a direct hit on florida are not over yet but certainly not out there for states like georgia the carolinas and even as far north as virginia. just how prepared are the states of florida and the camera line as i mean as you say they're very well practiced in this preparation but this is as trump would say

a big storm. i mean there was prepared as they can be certainly nobody is taking this lightly certainly here in this area there's been a anxiety for the past few days as people get ready many people have left some of just hunkered down this area is now most likely in the clear will get tropical storm force winds but the federal emergency management agency say that moving generators and staff into the southeast region of the united states because this is one of the most powerful storms ever on record with these sustained winds of 300 kilometers per hour but the big question is that cone of uncertainty what it and develops and walked up will take over the next few days but remember the storm could slow down this is not an event is going to be over in just a couple of days this is going to go on for several days to come by hot seat even longer but the hope is the dorian tracks up and hugs not the east coast of florida before turning sharply to the right i'm going back out into the atlantic but as i

said the hurricane center here warning everyone one little hit to the west and everything could change joining us there live from a very way it's miami beach and to thank you. well let's go back to our top story the saudi led coalition air strike on a detention center in yemen this isn't the 1st time the coalition has struck a non military target was believed to be the most deadly strike was on a wedding party in september 2015 more than 130 people were killed in december 27th the more than 60 civilians were killed in 2 strikes on the same day in august last year at least 40 children were amongst more than 50 civilians killed when a bus was hit in saada well a report by the united nations last year found that some of the saudi led coalition strikes may amount to war crimes well let's get more from mohamad who is adama that's where the strike took place mohamed criticism today for both the saudis and the who sees for putting prisoners in places like this. yes i

of the morning. with the same iron fist with which he ruled libya 27 year old kadafi kicked out british and u.s. forces from the country and nationalized the oil industry. it was with that 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 unfettered revolution a socialist based system for the masses but he had no 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 incomes had

risen 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. those achievements were celebrated in 2009 during lavish crystal beauties on the 40th anniversary of the end for the revolution but despite the numbers they were in balances that couldn't be ignored resentment was brewing and came to a boil during protests which broke out in benghazi in 2011 the eastern port city from well fed that revolution was launched 41 years earlier was now rebelling against it waving 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 khadafi wasn't prepared to let go so easily he responded with force.

pungent bulbs so essential to so many of the worlds we see it employs a 1000 workers earn $15.00 an hour good wages for agricultural and food processing work christopher took us to his cavernous warehouse just before harvest time but we are currently standing in what will soon be the largest concentration of garlic on the north american continent so when we start loading this room which is starting this week we're going to about 50000000 pounds in this space alone that's 22000000 kilos and any way you crush slice dice or sauté it that's a lot more like for decades cheap chinese garlic imports undercut domestic producers now garlic growers are smelling the sweet scented punitive tariffs effective june 15th the garlic terrapins now in effect at 25 percent and that's impacting all inbound garlic now we have an opportunity to expand acreage grow more

garlic than ever before invest in new employees new infrastructure for gerlach growers here in california the tariffs have been great news but other farmers across the country complain they are the real victims of the china trade war the vast horn soybean and horse farms of the u.s. heartland have watched prices plummet as china's stop buying in retaliation for the trump administration's terrorists to limit the economic. political damage president donald trump promises a $16000000000.00 handout to affected farmers but even the garlic king admits a poll more on trade battle boom good for the economy we understand that this trade worth it could stand to hurt a lot of americans if it drags on for too long the catalysts and central bankers are watching with alarmist global trade flows slow manufacturing shrink sent confidence sags over trumps trade war and the longer it goes on the economic

outlook for workers consumers and yes even garlic farmers will start to stink rob reynolds al-jazeera gilroy california well stan boy that is resident scholar at american enterprise institute and he joins us from washington d.c. vista boy give a warm welcome to the program we saw there just one example of how these trade tariffs are changing the economic landscape but in general what are the implications for the u.s. economy. well so there are as we saw there is obviously some domestic producers that benefit from some restrictions on their foreign competitors importing goods to the u.s. but in general i think we've seen the impact it's pretty negative most of the arabs have been passed on directly to to u.s. consumers obviously china and to some extent earlier on other countries have wreaked alley against us there which has harmed u.s.

export errors. and you know we've seen i think at this point it started to impact big macroeconomic numbers so we saw that quarter to growth was only 2.0 percent well below the 3 percent the administration has been promising business investment was particularly weak and more recently we've also seen consumer confidence numbers dropping which suggests that we may well see growth falling short of even 2 percent in the next few quarters mr avoider i want to imitate the day to day sense what is the impact on the average american consumers if there is such a thing as the average american consumer but what's what's the impact on the real person. well so that's where you see these that's where the macro numbers are important but obviously if growth is slower it means that ultimately wages will rise last fast. when you know the there is it's hard to talk about an average

consumer as such but if you're trying to buy say a washer dryer combination and you know a product that has been subjected to significant arabs or if you want to install solar panels another example of such a product then you're hit pretty hard with some of these specific products and so you know it depends on your individual situation but the aggregate effects are starting to become pretty large what is perhaps even more concerning to large groups of of american households is that we're starting to see increasing weakness in the manufacturing industry not just in the u.s. also in in some european countries if that is converted into real job losses that's you know that's when people are really hit hard you know a 2 percent decrease in your purchasing power is very different from losing you know one of the wages in your family and this trade war escalates could we see a sort of a bigger show done if you like on the global stage as

a result of these tariffs being applied. i do think so so you know most of the weakness we've seen in germany the u.k. as well in the us in other countries has been in manufacturing which in some ways is a proxy for 4 tradeable goods right if you if you counterpose it if you can or pose it with services which is usually a much more non tradeable domestic that of output it was all we've seen weakening in the manufacturing industry and obviously not all of that is to blame on the trade conflict between the u.s. and china but i think a lot of it is obviously you know brack said the situation in hong kong things like that the. time where we are in the business cycle all those things matter but i do think that there's pretty significant evidence precisely because matters the weakness is so concentrated to main factoring that the trade war is to blame for a lot of this and you know then once you know once

a number of countries start entering recessionary territory that will carry over to other countries as well stanley give evidence call at american enterprise institute . troops have joined thousands of volunteers from across south america battling wildfires in bolivia the fires in the amazon tropical forests of the burning out of control for weeks doubling in size since there is a latin american added to the sea a new man has more now from santa may seal it east of bolivia. soldiers arrive in sunday night to help combat wildfires. bolivia's famous colonial settled by missionaries in the late sixty's hundreds has been converted into an operations center for the firefighting effort. night and day the wildfires are spreading out of control fanned by strong winds a prolonged drought and extremely high temperatures and. with you'll start 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.
