a mild as small trade deal but in terms of the stuff really want the us really want china to get rid of in this drug policy od to create a leveling playground for foreign companies this is not going to happen anytime soon for many chinese manufacturers expected agreement is likely to be too little too light extra duties imposed earlier this year some as high as 25 percent have already forced many factories to scale down production and fire stuff these workers have been on edge since the trade war began and with good reason the bicycle industry is one of the worst affected by an increase in tyrants and this back to the lies on american science survives late good supplies bicycles to major u.s. retailers including wal-mart and says a rise in tariffs has caused sales to drop by about 20 percent we are soul.

a phenomenal deal they've been talking about this for a very long time you remember it was back at the beginning of last year that donald trump said that trade wars are good and easy too when there have been discussions which came almost came to a deal but then fell away now the united states says it has a 9 chapter 1st stage agreement with the chinese that covers important issues such as tech transfer intellectual property theft opening up china's financial income see markets to outsiders namely the united states and also the sale of agricultural produce donald trump sees that as very important farmers have struggled a lot because of the talents that were imports but he sees the farming community of the center of the united states as very much his base his heartland and so as we approach an election year he is very keen to address their concerns the most important thing this deal deals with is the targets that were due to be imposed on

sunday they know essentially go away but there are still tabs on chinese goods coming into the united states about 25 percent on $250000000000.00 worth of goods and 7.5 percent or $120000000000.00 worth of goods those type of will start to come off as china starts to meets the requirements that they have agreed to for humanitarian workers have been executed after being kidnapped by an armed group in northeastern nigeria about according to the french aid agency action against hunger they were in a group of 6 people abducted in july near the town of dumb a psych where armed fighters including boko haram operate one member of the group was killed in september action against hunger is calling for the remaining hostage to be freed. just president mamadou a so for as decorated the 71 soldiers killed in an army base attack with a cross of courage assault on tuesday was the deadliest on its military in living

stunning victory and a divisive general election dominated by brags that johnson's conservatives won a majority of 80 seats the party's biggest for 13 years and a clear mandate to take the u.k. out of the european union charlie angela reports from london. boris johnson is welcomed back to downing street. to the conservatives radically reconfigured britain's political map with their biggest majority since the 1987 and i'm proud to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will set out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for a 100 years and yes they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st i want to striking a more grateful note johnson thank labor voters for swapping sides of his promise

now to embrace all delivered i say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me. and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you i. but a group of young protesters gathered near downing street projecting his vision and briefly clashing but the pain was. angered by the outcome in which the conservative party took dozens of labor seats in the country's industrial north and midlands to the top thank you very much for the labor leader jeremy corbin it's a rejection of his vision for the party he says he will not stand in another general election i did everything i possibly could in order to bridge the divide between those that voted to leave and those that voted remained because at the end of the day they're going to live in a country where we're going to need that investment for the future we're going to

have if this government stays in office more homelessness more divisions and more a bigger gap between the richest and the poorest it was a bad result thing for the program a liberal democrats their leader joe swinson unseated her constituency so she will step down immediately i'm proud that liberal democrats have been the unapologetic voice of remain in this election giving people the chance to choose to stop breaks that. obviously it hasn't worked for boris johnson his brief time in office has been marred by repeated defeats in parliament legal interventions and desertions from his own party this result is better than he could have hoped for but his simplistic election promise to get bracks it done will now be put to the test if you post and lead the country through the most momentous transition since the 2nd world war charlie and to al-jazeera in london. there wasn't just the conservatives

who had a good election night the scottish national party made huge gains strengthening calls for another vote on independence but in barber reports from edinburgh i think particularly that she's almost certainly the most popular politician in north of the border now scottish nationalist party leader nicolas sturgeon is calling on boris johnson to grant scotland a referendum next year on breaking away from the u.k. . so to the prime minister let me be very clear this is not simply a demand that i or the s.n.p. are making it is the rate of the people of scotland and you as the leader of a defeated party in scotland have no rate to stand in the we. this was stooges reaction as the s.n.p. took the seat of joe swinson the liberal democrat leader with 48 of scotland's 59 seats in the westminster parliament they say the message to london could have been clearer. but in the scottish capital already home to the devolved parliament not

everyone agrees that another independence vote is now more likely. under left. so. i think you're i think quite honestly stop pollution scotland. referendum hopefully happens this time and. when scotland held a public vote on independence 5 years ago the result was a clear no but in 20 sixteen's breaks it referendum 62 percent of scottish votes were to remain with a no deal breaks it at the end of next year is still a possibility the s.n.p. says it's fighting to protect scotland's economic interests she says she's got a clear mandate for a fresh independence referendum and nicolas sturgeon's determined to make the most of her moments but just how much leverage will she have over boris johnson this expert says while in the short term little will change the direction of travel is clear the certainty would come after the scottish parliament elections in 2021 would be really difficult for a u.k. government to continue insists a new referendum but i think it does show is

a stark difference between scotland and england so boris johnson's conservative party lost m.p.'s in scotland that gained them in england and i think it just highlights that stark difference between the political directions of 2 countries are going in. these are troubled times for the united kingdom we still don't know how close a relationship it will have with the european union scottish nationalists are hoping that uncertainty will play into their hands but al-jazeera edinburgh. the leader of lebanon's hezbollah group is insisting the next government must include all political factions to tackle the worst economic crisis in decades the call comes as protesters continue to block roads and hold rallies in beirut and elsewhere politicians have been unable to form a new government since mass demonstrations forced prime minister sides hi larry and his cabinet to resign as well as supporters of fortune some protesters who want lebanon sectarian political system overhaul. well.
