a good relationship with donald trump what sarah reaction to his announcement about tats. well this is definitely coming as a shock i'm already president said that he was going to speak directly to donald trump about the current situation saying that he needs to explain the symmetries between brazilian and the united states economy also here in argentina the government is saying that they will start negotiations when the united states i left not forget about how this is ongoing we know also that they have main steel industry in brazil is saying that they were per plextor by this announcement they're saying that this least spoke about retaliation and they said that brazil is not evaluating artificially its own currency because donald trump also accused brazil and argentina of devaluating their own currencies saying that this hurts farmers and workers in the united states mostly because argentina brazil export commodities and as you just said relations between the united states with donald

trump. here were very very warm in fact last year when donald trump imposed terry of song's title for the european union for canada and mexico well he in a way shelved away did not implemented those policies whether brazil and argentina while the situation is changing right now it's not clear yet why this is happening some say that brazil and argentina have been getting quite close to china on one side but also because factories in the united states are struggling they have been laying off workers and some say that is this policy is meant to talk to them to his people to those who have voted for him in the past and that he was so show that he's main priority to right now it is he is america 1st and terry so what impact will these tabs on argentina which is currently struggling with an economic crisis . in brazil for example the amount of

steel and aluminum ep. exports gold still about $2200000000.00 which is about 9 percent but in argentina is only 3 percent the main problem for argentina right now is also political argentina is going through an enormous economic crisis with over around a 50 inflate 1st sentence rate with capital controls in the country exchange controls in the country with people turning to the u.s. dollar in order to protect their savings because they do not trust in the past so when they don't trump says talks about argentina evaluating well the government is actually trying to prevent a bigger devaluation they're spending billions of dollars of its foreign reserves in order to prevent the pisot from losing more value and what adds up more tension to what's happening here is that there's going to be a change in government in about 8 days before the man this was elected president in october selections is expected to apparent as president who will likely implement

protectionist policies well that is what's going to change that he had a very close relationship with donald trump is was donald trump that helped argentina get a loan from being turned national monetary fund there's going to be a new president in place have probably the relations between the united states and argentina will suffer because of all of this thank you for that for a scene. some office prime minister is shutting down the government and ordering south to help deal with us spiraling measles outbreak so far at least 53 people have died on the pacific islands most of them young children as many as 100 people are falling every day as well as a hagen is a medical officer at the world health organization regional office for the western pacific he says vaccines are the safest and most effective way to tackle the current measles outbreak. the truth is that vaccines are some of the safest interventions that we have access to measles vaccine alone has prevented over

21000000 deaths since 2000. the deaths of that did occur couple years ago were extremely tragic because they were preventable errors do occur but it was not a problem with the vaccine it was a it was it was an unfortunate error and administration people who are under vaccinated are people who live in. situations where they don't have access to the vaccine they live in conflict areas they may be part of marginalized populations that don't have the same access to services. and so those and so the fact that these pockets of people who are not immune as been growing over time in some populations leads to this sort of a tinderbox situation and once that the disease introduced it's place resume rapidly and unfortunately to spreading across the world and that leads to a lot of exportations through international travel which affects small countries like somalia. syrian government. at least 14 civilians in rebel held it late

they do want to have to put their hands in their own pockets that it's used in their state funds to stop mopping up to buy excess excess shares the whole idea of trying to sell aramco was to make sure that there was additional new money coming into the economy so that they could spend that money elsewhere still ahead on al-jazeera concerns for the future of democratic reforms in mauritania after a split in the ruling elite bracing for a typhoon thousands are evacuated in southeast. hello gator welcome back to your international weather forecasts were here across turkey has been quite messy a wintry mix pushing in from the black sea now making its way over here towards the

death to promote your vile propaganda jack stood against everything you stand for hatred division and ignorance and it's important to say that mr merrett wasn't referring to those man can propaganda or his hatred he was referring to the politicians run playing up the rhetoric around the response to these kind of incidents and using ever more stronger and hardline type of policies in order to reference them and respond to them mr merrett clearly not happy about that bearing in mind his son and the other fatal victim saskia jones were very much in intent on rehabilitation as a response to the crimes. protesters are gathering outside malta's parliament calling for prime minister joseph muscat to immediately step down he's facing mounting pressure over the case of a murdered journalist staff nico one i got who was killed 2 years ago in

a car bombing. remain in office until mid january after announcing his resignation on sunday the murdered reporters family says that's not good enough. you know the prime minister to leave office to leave parliament to it so that we will have a full independent investigation into his and his chief of staffs his forward chief of staff each camry's complicit possible complicity in the murder. a speech needs baka who joins us now live from the capital needs another protest underway in what's been happening on the streets having got across to me. here the distinct sense by being here that the constitutional or the political crisis here in malta is deepening we've seen several 1000 people on the streets of the maltese capital several 100 of them are just over there blocking that cordoned

off area outside the parliament building but it's just a section of what's happening in every single street around parliament why well because the ruling labor party the party of joseph muscat the prime minister who tend of his resignation on sunday while they are holding a session inside of this quite interesting ratio of bodyguards to ministers inside some amazing scenes about a half an hour ago where ministers were trying to get into the building were actually rushed in under the wings of bodyguards what's happening now is they're trying to work out how to leave and cars are on standby over there but because as i mentioned every street around here is completely blocked off they're now trying to work out how they can possibly evacuate this area and just going back to these these people over here they've been incredibly vocal and very very angry despite the fact that the prime minister said that he would step down and that televised address on sunday he says he wants to remain in power until january the 12th until

he could be replaced by another member of the ruling labor party but the reason why they're continuing their demonstrations is because they want him to step down immediately they believe that he's embroiled too much in senior figures within the cabinet who have been implicated not only in corruption but potentially too in the murder of daphne current or. at least 3 senior officials within the leadership of the current prime minister found themselves being investigated by the police none of them. i've been charged all of them have been released but they were implicated by a high profile businessman who earlier in november on november the 20th was arrested and charged with being linked with the murder of the journalist during the process of being charged he pointed the finger at senior officials and that's what's led to this snowballing of a vent here molten lead to a continuation of these current demonstrations no sign of this right now twinkling

organization which ruled that so the arab. contravened international agreements why they believe that this should be overturned essentially the blockade in countries are asking that the i.c. jury or overturn this decision and their argument seems to be a bit strange because on the one hand they say that by taking a stand in favor of qatar is essentially politicizing the organization and it's taking a political stand but on the other hand they were complaining in the. statements made at the courthouse behind me that the reason why the blockade countries took the decision to close their airspace was because of political decisions and were complaining that i coul never took that into consideration. there are growing fears that mauritania hard earned democratic gains might be reversed say follow a sudden dispute between 2 army generals have been warning the country for years.

the next move of the former president might be so strong this presidential election there has been speculation as to who is really running things in this presidential compound behind me some have said that president mohammed was one it might be under the influence of his predecessor but that has turned out to be wrong. in a clear break with his predecessor's antagonistic policies president as when he made peace with all opposition leaders and invited them to work with the government for the public good but there are fears that both the reforms and the national consensus that's being built may well be disrupted if the present crisis isn't solved. dizzier. one of the highest ranking ethnic way gore officials in china has been sentenced to life in prison for accepting bribes nor bakri was the former governor john province and
