chinese goods because of the fact that there is no trade war buyers in the u.s. because of the present age they're looking at this region and bangladesh is certainly one of the beneficiaries of those orders coming in. to avoid the effects of the trade war chinese factories are relocating to elsewhere in asia bangladesh is low wage gives it a competitive edge in this labor intensive industry bangladesh has the most sustainable supply chain currently and we are the most compliant therefore there is no reason for bangladesh not to gain from this from this opportunity but we would need the help because consistently bangladesh has suffered a decline in prices so we seek the corporation and empathy of the rest of the world apart all export has boomed in recent years but workers are not satisfied with the

new minimum wage set by the government last year president. blasting for bangladesh's garment industry which has benefited from a rise in demand for its good but on a recent study 91 percent of the workers said their income is not enough to feed themselves and their families. there has been criticism from the workers union and n.g.o.s that the rise in export benefit only the factory owners and international buyers not the workers gloppy part being a garment worker lives with her family in a small one room quarter she struggles with her monthly expenses without her husband's income it would be hard for the family to get by. on a lot of this it's still very difficult for us i have to spend a considerable amount for my children's school fees and other expenses like medicine food rent and so on although the country's government export to the u.s. market grew in recent months things may not remain so rosy if president trams goes

ahead with his plan and impose additional tariffs on after all imports bangladesh already plays 15.3 percent duties to the us amongst the highest of any nation tender child really i'll just assure bangladesh. there are warnings of a dire situation in yemen now after weeks of fuel shortages the country's all ministries blaming the saudi led coalition for imposing restrictions on fuel tankers the ministry says one tanker was allowed in 2 weeks ago but only provide enough fuel for 5 days officials say the shortage is affecting every day life for talks in saddam over a controversial new dam project in ethiopia have ended in gridlock the grand ethiopian renaissance dam would be the largest hydroelectric one in africa egypt is concerned over the impact the dam will have on the downstream flow of the nile al-jazeera see the morgan reports now from cotton talks between sudan if you get on

so let's start 1st and with these pro-democracy legislators of this legal challenge to the ban on the mosques what are the chances of success and we think. well at this particular case was filed in the high court yesterday and that court hearing is today it's being led by a 24 pro-democracy lawmakers but it's being led by dennis quote because actually a lawyer himself so clearly he thinks there's enough evidence on this side to challenge this anti mosque build another i believe that they're also taking it kerry now i should say and the police commissioner and the justice secretary to course now die but also believe that this particular case this is anti mosque police on both you and unconstitutional and it is no position to the hong kong constitution which is bicycle and while they follow this to die they carried out yesterday on saturday acknowledged that this case was being heard but she says that their arguments are groundless but we'll think the court hearing us about to start on sunday but we don't have any idea when that particular hearing will end but you

have the products that will make it before denis crockett clearly thinks by having ties and sara the running is still going ahead despite the ban by the police so what to expect to happen today that. there are a number of rallies. planned for sunday we're at the start of one which will go from course my bike into central that was a similar march on saturday with thousands defied the police ban and much to anyway is also another rally in course by by just further up the writing victoria that's in support of the intonation journalist who had the last one i ought to place a rubber bullet on her last week and there's another much over and color inside of this is all in opposition to the anti mosque built to die on sunday 40 in 2 hours i caught it closed and this is what i did yesterday yes that sounds like all empty gas stations in hong kong were closed that's the 1st time anyone can recall this ever happening but it's a very clever tactic of the the police because they didn't mobilizing the groups they simply can't get to these like patients but today on sunday we do expect

thousands together again at the point where we out to schools like by which we expect to be probably one of the largest marches in hong kong against this spill all right there in hong kong for the time being sara thank you. now north korea has broken off denuclearization talks with the united states chief nuclear negotiator kim yong gil said there are expectations or not fulfilled delegations from both countries when sweden's capital stockholm to discuss the north abandoning its nuclear weapons technology and its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions being lifted isn't fishing for in the chill of an evening in sweden a freeze returned to negotiations between the u.s. and north korea to say to been meeting in stockholm for the 1st time since previous nuclear talks broke down at a field summit in vietnam in february but it quickly became clear the 2 are dramatically far apart the us raise expectations by offering suggestions like a flexible approach new method and creative solution is but they have disappointed

us greatly and dampen are enthusiastic for negotiation by bringing nothing to the negotiation table both sides agreed to restart the talks after donald trump's remarkable visit to north korea in june. at the end of the g. 7 in japan he met the north korean president kim junkman at the demilitarized zone in the area marking the border between north and south korea and then took the dramatic step over the border the 1st u.s. president to do so there was hope fresh talks might make progress after president trump's national security advisor john bolton was fired he was seen by the north as an obstacle to a deal he admitted he was deeply skeptical they would ever give up their nuclear weapons and the day after the new talks were the ones pyongyang confirmed it had test fired a ballistic missile designed for a submarine launch a step forward in technology and a clear message to the americans even a few hours before the talks broke down u.s.

secretary of state mike pompeo was confident of a breakthrough there were 4 pillars that the 2 leaders agreed to and we're very hopeful that we will make some progress we're mindful this will be the 1st time we've had a chance to have a discussion in quite some time in a statement the state department said the united states and the d.p. r. k. to north korea will not overcome a legacy of 70 years of war and hostility on the korean peninsula through the course of a single saturday these are witty issues and they require a strong commitment by both countries the united states has that commitment the u.s. says it is accepted an invitation from the swedes to return for more talks in 2 weeks time for their part the north koreans say the denuclearization of the korean peninsula is still possible but only when obstacles that threaten their safety and check their development are removed completely without a shadow of doubt that suggests that until the u.s. starts to ease sanctions on north korea they won't be going back to the negotiating
