reminder the main story is here it is there the largest climate change protest in history is taking place around the world people from more than 150 countries are joining a strike led mainly by young people and calling for an end to the use of fossil fuels it begins a weeklong worldwide campaign demanding greater action from political leaders. extensive damage is being revealed of both saudi arabia and all facilities that were attacked last week this is footage from advocate the world's largest oil processing facility not tout harf of saudi arabia's output. the u.s. justice department is being accused of withholding a complaint against president trump according to u.s.

media that complaints related to a phone call between the president and a foreign leader. i am are on the top story now on those climate protests taking place around the world for me to miller has been at a demonstration in cape town. thousands of protesters have marched to parliament on a demanding that the south african government do more to deal with climate change cape town is a city that was gripped by drop 2 years ago and on the verge of having its taps run dry people here say they don't want to face a catastrophe like that and now is the time to act they're also demanding that the government declare a national emergency they want to see the end of coal power stations they also want greater education for south africa's use to understand climate change more and know the place they have been acting against climate change many of the protesters are school children and people here say that there is only one pallet it can't sustain

the current system and it's up to the south african government to play its part of the river to live with myself knowing that i'm letting go of them and the people in the high institutions can take live my future and not fight for just say they're going to live to live and religion it really affects us the root cause the elders it's like there was a one question they do unclear is whether we have the good health checks when you know you know this year's southern africa experienced one leg in its worst side loans ever countries like muslims being callao weak and zimbabwe were affected by almost 1300 people were killed constance's in south africa a facing rising sea levels right 2050 people here are saying they want climate justice now and they want to ensure there's a future for many of the young people attending this protest today. right now let's

go to the into these in capital jakarta and our correspondent there healer mohammed . it's a festive atmosphere here in the capital to consul where around 400 students some as young as 10 years old university students are demonstrating for what they're calling climate action they want the government to enforce the climate's emergency to deal with some of the issues that's currently facing the country much of this is around absolution they say they want clean air and blue skies now all of this comes off the back all of the major forest fires that have happened in indonesia for the last couple of months on the island of sumatra and on borneo and it's causing a very bad haze that's affecting the population here and also is crossing borders into malaysia and singapore many of the people here are saying that they want the government to take more action by imposing better law enforcement to deal with preventative measures to contain these fires and there is also investigations taking place around companies and individuals that have been looking that have allegedly been burning out some of this land and so this is what they want they

want the government to impose better regulation and try and stop these forest fires from closing but at pollution in the capital as well from south africa to east africa and correspondent nicholas hawke who's in the kenyan capital nairobi i'm sorry. these protests are not just taking place here in nairobi it's are also johannesburg and cape town and go and do your thing in senegal and then lo may why because out of the 10 countries that will be most affected by climate treaty 7 of them are all the can causing it and it's already started with the hurricanes sweeping through mozambique flash floods in south africa you 0 leone and droughts that are dividing people in the sun how. to move hundreds are at risk of going things every day because of the crowds and so many young people here are growing impatient with their leaders. and if you just give me that

a healthy climate of those we have and it passed in asia. protesters have just taken over the streets of one of the major capitals of our forgot they're headed toward the ministry of energy because the government has put into place policies that then is going ahead with their old with a plan to build a. whole plant in the world heritage site right here in kenya and these protesters are angry about this climate change is possible the least i can do is come here to see me because i'm not a political figure so this is the least i can do. i for one the national assembly president. doesn't denounce. their leaders nor and there. is a movement that's gaining momentum i got to go no longer be ignored right now the number of american soldiers in somalia has increased under president from one of the jobs

involves training a local group to become an elite force to take on al-shabaab our correspondent mohammed atta and got a firsthand look at the same cold lightning falls in training. these are the new frontlines in the fight against al shabaab in somalia. and these are the men taking the fight to the group strongholds the united states has at least $500.00 switches in this country but it's trained and paid for some of the troops to form the deneb unit or lightning falls. apart from our operations against al shabaab fighters to retake territories and of the control we also talk at their assassins bomb builders and those who kidnapped foreigners in our country we also tried to raise the spies in those who provide them with other supplies but the. somali government officials say this elite force is comprised of soldiers from almost all of somalia as

colombians deneb units help killed some of the elite does and in. areas that were taken from the al qaeda linked group they're winning the support of local people how they would out sent me the money and things are much better than before in terms of security we're not living in fear anymore the soldiers eclipse and we're forever thankful to the government that then a brigade was launched as a $150.00 plus and unit roughly 5 years ago but has since grown to become one of somalia's most used military forces while u.s. forces in somalia cut out al strikes and drone attacks against al shabaab fighters it's these forces who've been carrying out the bulk of the ground assault against the group official say the plan is to develop done up into a full so free fall of the soldiers capable of removing all shabab fighters from thomson villages across the country. the regular somali national army is involved in the fighting to. look at it we have achieved many victories we spent

a lot of time preparing for the current offensive against al shabaab but it was worth the wait we have liberated many towns and villages in the past months. the somali national army needs more recruits to bolster its wrongs these training camp in the small town of greer al in central somalia is just one of a few across the country by next year 22000 african union peacekeepers are expected to begin putting out of somalia and it will fall to these soldiers to take over the top keeping security and fighting al shabab. goodell in central somalia. trying to boost its image and at the same time revive lost traditions the government's organizing the 1st ever no mad gains thousands of people are attending the event this week on the banks of the lake charlotte bellis reports. this game started on the plains of central asia more than 500 years ago

state visit to the united states as prime minister read on. bush. mr president you've been negotiating with the chinese and its ability in terms of a china trade deal that they might actually offer some back cultural purchases is that going to be enough for you sir in order to get a feel done what do you need to see at this point to get that deal passed the finished we're looking for a complete deal i'm not looking for a partial deal china has been starting to buy our agricultural product if you noticed over the last week and actually some very big purchases but that's not what i'm looking for we're looking for the big deal we've taken it to this level we're taking in billions and billions of dollars of tariffs china has devalued their currency and they're putting out a lot of money into their current into their into their economy and they have a very bad economy right now and i don't want them to have a bad economy but it's the worst in they say 57 years 2 weeks ago as

a worst in 22 years now it's 57 years and it's only going to get worse this supply chain is being broken up very badly and companies are leaving because they can't pay the 25 soon to go to 30 percent tariff and we have 30 percent very shortly on 250000000000 we have another terrified a slightly smaller number as you know one on the other on about $300000000000.00 worth of goods and products so they would like to do something as you know we're talking a little bit this week talking a lot next week and then. people are going to be speaking in the week following but i'm not looking for a partial deal i'm looking for a complete deal. with elections or no i don't think i did it before the election i think people know that we're doing a great job i've rebuilt the military we've got and i were talking about that we spent one and a half trillion dollars when i came in our military was depleted frankly we didn't have ammunition ok but our military was in very bad shape we've rebuilt the

military we've got one of the strongest economies. mike pence actually got some who is right here great vice. and he was talking yesterday and he called me says with these numbers these consumer numbers are incredible the retail numbers that came out 2 days ago that really weren't reported were really i mean just incredible numbers you know that very well that your world and some other numbers were doing very well our economy is very strong and china is being affected very badly we're not we're not being affected in fact we're take it in many billions of dollars in china's eating that you know china is. eating the tariffs because of the devaluation now that doesn't happen with all countries china is china and they know what they're doing as well as anybody my relationship with president xi is a very amazing one very good one but we have right now a little spat but i think we're doing very well our country is doing well. you look

at so many different things look at all of the regulation cutting that allows us to do what we did look at what happens 3 days ago where you have an attack like that it takes out a big chunk of all oil and the price goes up 4 dollars 5 dollars and now it's heading down rapidly that tells you that would have happened years ago it would have gone up $50.00 it would have doubled. and this was a blip so it's been really amazing what we've been able to do i think the voters understand that i don't think it has any impact on the election now if something happened i think that would probably be a positive for the election but that's ok i do think as signing us m.c.a. on a bipartisan basis with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and everybody else very bipartisan i think that's very important for our country and i would certainly be willing to say that's a bipartisan deal but i think that's very important for manufacturers for our farmers even for the unions they want that deal done and so hopefully that's going to be put up to a vote for me soon they'll be very little cajoling of the democrats because most

democrats wanted to but the u.s. embassy is ready to be voted on it's finished mexico has taken their final votes can it is willing to do that any time we want them to they're all set to go and do we need that for all of the we need that for our country it's a great deal it's a great deal thank you and for the prime minister sir your economy is to some degree caught in the cross currents between united states and china what did you say to the president about what your ideal outcome is here for a china trade agreement between the united states and china thank you obviously we're going to say the united states and john to be able to come to an agreement but what is always necessary is deals are going to be fair deals are going to be good deals still to go to be sustainable bills and i think one of the things we've seen a strategy is benefit greatly from the the economic growth of china we have a comprehensive strategic partnership with china on a free trade agreement with china and i have grown and i have become you know a substantial economy in the world and once you sort of get into that level then

you need to be able to be playing to the syme rules of as those other developed nations and i think this is you know the new new generation of deals i think we'll see china do which the president has been working on and he's been working on it for some time and we wish him well in that process there are some real serious. issues that have to be addressed in that do things like an emotional intellectual property it's a that's a that's a big issue and it needs to be addressed so we look forward to them achieving it and and that providing i think the broader certainly instability through the global economy which which will nations will benefit from and we could do skirt a very big deal with china and it could go very quickly as you know but it wouldn't be the appropriate do we have to do it right and it's a very complicated deal with intellectual property protection we have to do that and other things i could leave lots out and have a deal very quickly but. we want to do it right place sure.

i assume andrew is a nice person. as well you know is the president the best. thank you very much for hosting this also on china and tariffs. what do you say to a struggling businesses and to strengthen people who say that your trade war with present prison she threatens their prosperity and the prime minister elect question do you think that strains are going to be collateral damage in a president trunks tariff war with china. well 1st of all you know i look at numbers i love numbers and the numbers of straight here doing incredibly well you're doing unbelievably well when we have a deal with china or not but when we have a deal with china because they want to make it perhaps more than i want to make it

because i actually love all the billions of dollars that spring into our treasury billions and billions of dollars we've never seen that before from john and it's always been the other way but when and i'm taking care of our farmers out of that we're helping our farmers or farmers were targeted and they were targeted for $16000000000.00 and i made that up to them we paid them the $16000000000.00 that had tens of billions of dollars left over so i will say though that australia's doing very well if we do end up doing a deal australia will do even better and we were discussing that but australia will be one of the big beneficiaries of the deal and in the meantime as you know i did tariff relief with respect to a certain product in particular coming out of australia and that's something that we wouldn't do for anybody else this is been a truly great ally and we work very well together but you know your numbers are absolutely fantastic your economy is strong like ours and i think we're 2 real

examples of of 2 countries doing extremely well some countries aren't doing so well europe is not doing well asia is not doing large parts of asia are not doing well china's not doing well please thanks mr president a strike is in its 29th year of consecutive economic growth which is an extraordinary national achievement and and we will continue to grow as our most recent as our most recent national accounts demonstrated a striker is also very used to dealing with a complex and challenging world and that's why we've diversifying tried bison have been doing that for many years i mean 6 years ago when our government time to office 27. st tried was covered by agreements around the world that figure is now 70 percent and we have to take that to 90 percent and that's important and that's opening up opportunities there are there are ebbs and flows that go in the global economy in a stride or i has built up a resilience through the broad by snyder in which we're taking our county to the

world when a strategy has never got rich selling things to itself and we've always had an outward looking perspective when it comes to engaging area economic opportunities and a big part of what we've been discussing here is a new opportunities where that's in the rare else the critical minerals fronted technologies spice is where jobs are going to be in the future as well and so we will do with the zips and flies they come but the president's rut the arrangement i will come to and i'm confident i will with china will be one that will set you know a new in terms of of how china's economy then deals with a lot of these complicated issues in the future with developed economies like the strata so we look on with interest and i think ultimately when we arrive at that point it's going to put global tried on a stronger footing and australia's really been so focused on the economy they do

minerals have incredible wealth in minerals and coal and other things and they're really at the leading edge of coal technology that's clean coal we call it clean coal but it's also great for the workers and things that would happen to cars was very dangerous years ago and very bad for a lot of people and you've rectified that 100 percent it's incredible i looked at year statistics the other day in coal miners are very very safe and westralia it's incredible what you've done in fact we're looking at what you've done but you know what it will and i want to think i will do a deal make a deal yeah go ahead place. thank you and i are in the midst of these escalating tensions with iran you've now named a new national security advisor brian yes what is the recommending to you in terms of dealing with the latest strikes on saudi arabia in the response and then secondly you announce new sanctions on iran as secretary mineta said that this

affects the last available funds for that regime have we now exhausted sanctions in regards to iran well these are the strongest sanctions ever put on a country. we are at a level of sanction that is far greater than ever before with respect to iran today we did central bank as you know and we'll see we'll see they have a lot of problems not only with us are they having problems within their own country and i think they have a lot of self-made problems we are. by far the strongest military in the world going into iran would be a very easy decision as i said before be very easy the easiest thing and most people thought i would go in there within 2 seconds but. plenty of time plenty of time in the mean time they have a lot of problems within iran iran could be a great country could be a rich country but they are choosing to go a different way they'll be a point at which they'll be very sorry for that choice but i think i'm showing

great restraint a lot of people respect it some people down some people say oh you should go immediately and other people are so thrilled at what i'm doing and i don't do it for anybody i do it for what's good for the united states what's good for our allies and it's working out really very well as far as robert is concerned he's robert maybe you could stand up robert o'brian has done a fantastic job for us with hostage negotiations i think we can say that there has never been anybody that's done better than you and i was a combination we brought many people home and we brought them home quickly speed is a very important thing i find with us to. it's really something i had dinner the other night with the warm beer family an incredible family the whole family and some of those friends in addition to the family were 25 people over on saturday

night and we did that dinner really and otto's honor and it was a beautiful thing is a beautiful thing 1st lady and i it was very generous it was very touching and really very beautiful we talked about auto and i will tell you that people should move faster and robert and i were talking about the should have moved faster he was there for a long time you know move fast with hostages you have to move fast all of a sudden it gets very hard for the other side to do anything and sometimes it's just too late in the case of otto it was very late we got him home but he was in horrible horrible condition what happened to him was. actually incredible just horrible but you have to move fast robert and i have been really successful and the reason i know i'm so i actually work hard on hostages i think you would say i think

most presidents wouldn't do that but i do these a great i guess in almost all cases american lives we help other people also we've also helped other countries with their hostage situation where we have some strength that they don't but these are great people and we get a mome we got them home from north korea as you know and we got them home from a lot of different locations egypt we can and we get them home from many different locations turkey. president her one was very good and we got us a charm our great great pastor who everyone in this room knows and loves. but we've had tremendous success and what surprised me i didn't know too many people knew robert and when it came time to pick somebody for the position very critical time i had so many people i shouldn't say this in front of robert to be embarrass me but i had so many people that called me and they they recommended robert o'bryant so i

think is going to do a great job and he was here i can tell you this he started about 12 minutes after he was chosen he sat in with us and he's very much involved now on what we're doing at one quick follow up on that in regards to ron if sanctions don't work and they continue their line activity are there any other measures outside of the military option that can be taken i don't want to talk about that but i will say i think the sanctions work and the military would work but that's a very severe form of of winning but we when nobody can beat us militarily nobody can even come close what we've done for our military in the last 3 years is incredible all made in the usa by the way and it's really incredible our nuclear was getting very tired they hadn't spent the money on it and now we have it in as we would say to be top shape tippy top it's we have new and we have

renovated and it's it's incredible and we all should pray that we never have to use it we should never have to use it and our military itself is in phenomenal shape and we have a great gentleman as you know. going to be taking over joint chief of staff joe dunford has been fantastic he's a great great man and a friend of mine. but general milley is going to be taking over and. it's going to be going have a little bit of a celebration both for joe and for. more for everybody and you know as you know our secretary of defense has just come in our gaspar and. he's been here for a short period of time but he's got tremendous energy he's got it he knows he knows it that's what he's been doing for a long period of time from the day he graduated or maybe i should say from the day he started at west point where he was a top top scholar etc so we have

a we have an incredible people and here we did the sanctions today and i think they're probably steve the strongest set of ever been put on a country with we will certainly never do that to australia i promise you. one for the prime minister if i may mr prime minister you have been very tough way even under pressure you've been very consistent with the band even though you've said you have a good working relationship with china and they're important for your economy do you plan to continue to support the united states in the tough stance on china can you give any more specifics about what you've told the president you would do to help in his measures to reach a fair trade deal. first of all and we have a. the most perfect of relationships with the united states and goes back a century and more as the president was mani's on the loan this morning we have a comprehensive strategic partnership with china this is part of the world and in which we live and managing that relationship is important to stress national

interest one thing i can always assure you and i think the president can cite the sign we will always both of us act in the national interests of our countries we will always put our country's interests for this and that means in guiding countries in our own region not just economically but in a people people it's a level as well we have a lot of operations we do together right across the will militarily and we'll continue to do those but the focus i think at the end of the day has to be what's best for our people and that means a stable secure region and the presence of the united states in the pacific where they have been for a very long time is a stabilizing force in the region and what does that mean it means that countries can tried with the each other economies can develop people coming out of poverty. the united states has had i a positive presence in our region and that's why we always work together because we share objectives it isn't a matter of the net not its size saying to us we need you to do this or this try to

sign the united states we need you to do this it's about us having shared objectives and looking through the world through a similar lens and so that just naturally brings us together to focus on the things that promote prosperity as i started out my rocks today we'll have jobs the president i we love jobs and we like them jobs here and we like jobs everywhere and when people have jobs well but i tend to focus a bit more on the things that are going on in their lives every day and making sure they can live peacefully with each other and how do i think is important i think is during our meeting and we discussed i said what percentage of our of your military do you buy from us and it's the answer was we work it together or it's about 100. percentage close to 100 percent and we make the best equipment he understands that but it's it's a real relationship they buy 100 percent of their military and it's a massive purchase and it's gotten bigger i guess you said it the biggest purchase since world war 2 there will be a 2 percent of g.d.p.

next year and that comes up from what was the lowest level of defense spending is a serious the economy since proud of the 2nd world war so that's a $200000000000.00 investment and a lot of that that's being built in a strategy but it's also been built in partnership with united states and other allies so it's an important part of what we're doing and i think i think david crud from a strategy was next. thank you very much to have a cry from the sydney morning herald in the ice age further on the questions on our iran mr president you've you've prized this right in commitment to die. to deal with iran in the persian gulf and in your talk today with mr marson did you discuss further military action in order to keep the pressure up on iran what might those military actions bay and what could a strategy contribute to that so larsen you are on that side who want to 2nd joke you'll get a 2nd crack you're going to he's going to shout at you prime minister.
