a bill has the reaction from one as itis. there were warm relations between the united states argentina brazil especially with precedents. but also. apparently him and trump. other for a very very long period of time because modi so mikey used to be a businessman suit this is certainly happened because back last year argentina and brazil were even shielded when the united states implemented. the euro and union canada and mexico among others even lifted 25 percent tariff from 10 percent. minium last year so this is certainly coming as a surprise donald trump both always accusing this countries of evaluating the currency in argentina and brazil saying that this is something that hurts farmers in the united states because brazil argentina exports mostly commodities like so you have been wheat. other things so reaction there let's go live to the white

house to speak to our correspondent kimberly halkett really he announced that by a tweet it obviously took the leaders of brazil and argentina by surprise do we know why the president did this. yeah there seems to be a little bit of an indication the exact timing today a little bit unclear but certainly it does appear the president may be responding to some comments that came from the brazilian economic minister last week where he said in an interview that he was not concerned about the exchange rate between the brazilian rail and the u.s. dollar given the fact that the u.s. dollar is very strong and the u.s. president has said that he has or is accused both brazil and argentina of devaluing their currencies perhaps that sort of strident tone potentially is what set the president off we really can only speculate but certainly this has not only come as a surprise but it was unexpected that there be this kind of punitive action given

the fact that there had been a direct appeal by both argentina and brazil not to put these tariffs back in place after that exemption in may of 2018 or one of the just a few cations president trump gave is that the 2 countries devaluing their currencies made it harder for example for the u.s. food exports to compete i mean how true is that and if it is does it actually fall into line with his america 1st policy i mean it may not seem fair altruistic towards brazil and argentina but it is sort of what he always campaigned said he would do and now he's doing. you're absolutely right when it comes to the president is the domestic agenda that comes 1st the america 1st policies and. sort of the 2nd part of the tweet donald trump sent out when he was announcing that there would be these terrorist put back in place seem to give us a window into what he might also be angling for and that is putting pressure on the

central bank the federal reserve here in the united states he's been very vocal that he believes that it should be cutting rates even further even to the point of negative rates as we've seen in some european countries he's argued in the past this gives european nations a competitive advantage so given the fact that he's feeling like his base of support american farmers may be getting hurt the manufacturers may be getting hurt as a result of what he sees as a devaluation potentially deliberately his mind on the part of argentina and brazil that he's now trying to push the federal reserve in the united states to lower those rates to to further carry out his policies an agenda which has always had as you point out a domestic focus can really help him with the latest from the white house can believe thank you syrian government air strikes have killed at least 14 civilians in the province a warning some of the images are disturbing. at

least 20 others including children have been injured in the attack busy markets in my room on and set a key city were targeted and there are reports of more airstrikes in the area. iraq's rival political parties are negotiating over the makeup of a new government following the resignation of prime minister. the and his cabinet but the form of he stood down on sunday his position was made untenable by public criticism on friday from the nation's leading cleric in response to 2 months of anti-government protests but mufti's administration will stay in charge until of replacement government can be agreed on a process that is expected to take some time. while the changes at the top are not stopping anti-government protests from continuing across iraq including the 1st all female demonstration in the southern oil city of basra meanwhile human rights watch

a state of emergency as well as closing schools children are banned from public gatherings to stop the disease spreading measles mumps and rubella vaccinations are now compulsory for everyone with tens of thousands of people inoculated. james they calls it is with unicef australia he says efforts to contain the outbreak have been well coordinated so far the response has been sweet. 500000 additional vaccines of missiles for measles has been flowing into that region and 150000 doses of mabel's vaccines have a right and some are since the 1st of october and this includes syringes side of the boxes as well as supplies of vitamin i which are. responding to such an outbreak so things are definitely on the way but obviously with more deaths this is a tragedy this is really an emergency still and we're not out of it yet protesters

leading ministers possibly even the outgoing prime minister himself may have been able to slip out of the back door through a tunnel all of that as these protesters insist that they will continue to put pressure on muscat to step down immediately they say the has to do it now because he continues to be embroiled and closely associated with the leading ministers within his cabinet who now been implicated not only in corruption but in murder the murder of daphne. in 2017 while now joined by her son andrew andrew of course this is being seen by some as something of a turning point but when it comes to finding justice for your mother how are you reading what's happening here in villette or this is this is the 1st time in 2 years of a lot of any hope that this would be a real turning point for the country 2 years ago we hope my mother's assassination

would be enough for people to realize that organized crime how taken office in this country but it wasn't on earth and that's a lesson about the power of propaganda and how it's those doubts in people's minds people who knew instinctively my mother had been murdered by someone very powerful in government in this country but who for 2 years were confused and who were led to believe that it was low level criminals these of smugglers spies started was done to destabilize the government but now we know the truth as the government itself was involved in my mother's assassination. a vigil has been held in the united kingdom for the 2 people killed in friday's london bridge attack by a man who had been jailed on terror offenses jack merritt and saskia jones were stabbed to death on london bridge by an attacker who was released halfway through his prison sentence paul brennan was at the vigil attended by both prime minister boris johnson and opposition leader jeremy corbyn. this was

referring to those man cons propaganda or his hatred he was referring to the politicians ramping 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 responsive and mr merrett clearly not happy about that bearing in mind his son and the other fatal victim saskia jones very much in intent on rehabilitation as a response to crimes. and crazy and have lined the streets to honor certain french soldiers killed in mali last week the soldiers died when their helicopters collided in the dock it was the biggest loss of french troops in one day in the early 4 decades france has been leading a 6 year military operation in the region fighting groups linked eyesore. saying in france 3 emergency workers have been killed when their helicopter crashed

rest outside sounded exactly like this like a war zone and somehow inside everything was still holding up until it didn't water started to go in and we had to evacuate our rooms and stay here we are at the back part of the hotel a safer place and earlier today. we saw how the military rushed to evacuate as many people as possible to safety it's going to take a few hours according to weather experts before this situation die down but we're already seeing water flooding everywhere. government officials have been warning of landslides and storm surges. thousands have already been evacuated. at this point so we have no choice but to stay here for a few hours and try. and wait. for the situation to settle down

before we can see and assess the devastation of bipolar and come morry syria and then reporting there from the philippines all our meteorologist rob mccallum we has been following the course of the storm has more on what we can expect there's a significant typhoon bearing cross the middle of the philippines you can see the i develop it 1st hit the island of summer here at the bottom edge of the r but it's quite a distinct shape as you can see category straight and probably lose some of its energy that goes further west woods that means gusts around about the 20240 kilometers per hour mark that is moving fairly quickly west which i don't think that's the nigga negate the damage because the winds really are quite strong as the progress over the next 24 to 36 hours eventually to go off into the south china sea and we can just buy forget about it but it's 24 hours worth of thunderstorms strong winds and briefly at least stopped quite a storm surge that would be a problem in the east further west this is eventually matter right or fall out of

it $2.00 to $350.00 millimeters even up the eastern side off into zone but as i say 21 hours and we can just see what it's done. 20000000 people each year the equivalent of one every 2 seconds have been forced from their homes by climate fuel disasters in the past decade those figures from a new report by the british charity oxfam we've released as the annual u.n. climate conference opened in spain cup 25 began in madrid with chile and politician carolina schmidt taking over as president the conference was meant to have been held in chile but weeks of violent street protests forced the government there to cancel delegates from nearly $200.00 countries are attending the going to work to increase global commitments to fight climate change efforts which the u.n. chief has called utterly inadequate by the end of the coming decade we will be on one of 2 paths when is the path of surrender where we have sleep walk

past the point of no return job providing the health and safety of everyone on this planet do we really want to be remembered as the generation that bertie did serve in the sand. while the planet burns the other option is the path of hope oppressive resolve of sustainable solutions a press where more fossil fuels remain where they should be in the ground and where we are on the way to carbon neutrality by 2050 very strong words there from the head of the u.n. well africa is already struggling with the effects of climate change and as nick clark reports now from kenya it's the water supply that's especially at risk. yes you join me along side the mara river in kenya and we're ready to demonstrate the kind of thing that's at stake in madrid now the rhythm our emerges from the

foothills of the forest to go on and flow through the mass i'm our game and into the serengeti national park and then it flows into lake victoria 200 kilometers away downstream and the whole river basin is worth economically around $7000000000.00 a year from agriculture to tourism it is a vital water supply for more than a 1000000 people nearly 2000000 head of cattle and a spectacular a ray of wildlife it's home to one of nature's greatest spectacles the will the bees migration man and animal rely on the river mara flowing all the year round and yet it's like waterways around the world it's in trouble because of climate change only this year the river nearly disappeared completely in the dry season and it's not for the 1st time in recent years and in the wet season rain is falling with more intensity recent floods in northern kenya have killed 120 and displaced 18000 people through and deforestation soil degradation and pollution and you have

a toxic mix. well earlier i spoke to kevin koe shangri from w w f he runs a program to restore the mar river basin you have to understand that there might arriba he's there but that sustains the maddest and get across the east and it's actually the only river that flows permanently that i revised to have seasonal so we might everybody stops flowing there'd be a very big problem in the midwest i get to cause he's doing some study tells us that the wildlife populations would crash to almost a year possible level so we have 2 weeks of climate change talks going on now in madrid what the regions like these need to come from those talks i think the most important thing to come from those talks is a global community meant for me to give because it's very likely we can do enough reka or mitigation but we understand it's a global problem that needs to be handled at a global level and we also need to look at optician for in the case of africa the

communities around them i mean obviously to be able to cope with effects of climate change so i think the most important would be a multi-pronged approach ensuring that we have better commitment for me to get on and also ensuring that adept issues down to ensure that we question our communities against the effects of climate change well in recent weeks there's been almost constant flow of sunshine that we're not even close to doing what we need to do to reduce emissions and even stabilize the situation that is the urgency of the position the climate delegations face in madrid and you would think that with the growing public recognition of the dangers ahead that world leaders would do what is required madrid must build momentum because in places like this time is running out . a hazardous foam has covered one of india's most famous tourist beaches for a 4th consecutive day the white substance along chennai's marina beaches believe the cause skin problems and fisherman have been told to avoid the nearby waters it
