7:06 am
celebrate christmas but here on the school it's christmas 365 days a year and they definitely have reason to be cheerful today because of this phase one deal now china is very much selling this the same way that the u.s. is selling this china is selling this as a big win for the chinese and the sizing the rollback of tariffs and in return for doing things that china needs to making some changes that intellectual property for buying things that china needs such as poor beans and this is something very much needed by the chinese in terms of good news you've had months of failed negotiations months of terror which have been really disheartening so it's certainly given hope to a lot of these sellers here. but as we're about to see own worst like this agreement is limited the hope that they feel is also what. christmas want to land in southeast china bias from all over the wound come to this
7:07 am
market. the festive season decorations. but this year it's. not married bright vented here is say the trade with the united states is bad for business. business is noise good as it used to be there are more and more sellers and fewer and fewer buyers i can barely make a living now. but christmas has arrived early for these suppliers with chinese and u.s. negotiators announcing they will sign what's called a phase one deal soon delaying extra tariffs on $156000000000.00 worth of chinese products including christmas trees tinsel and a range of other goods however our wrists want any agreement is only a temporary truce not an end to the trade war they might be able to reach 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 are to create
7:08 am
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 late 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 towers and this back to the ice on the network and by its survival late good supplies bicycles to major u.s. retailers including wal-mart and says a rise in tires has caused sales to drop by about 20 percent we are sold. this person worst still what we want to see how the person was going to do. here because this is a 1st year christmas with the for the purpose of. in order to keep going during
7:09 am
difficult times this bicycle maker is relocating some production to cambodia and the asia. back in many suppliers have already started moving their focus away from the u.s. towards new markets in the middle east and africa. when to last a few months the chinese exporters expect the children lesions between beijing and washington to remain for many christmases to come. so as we can see this relief that people have felt here today is very much slowly starting to give way to confusion we know that some of these tarps will be rolled back but there's no details as to what so many of the stall owners that we've spoken to today have said that they don't know if the items that they are selling are going to be affected positively so those who have made plans to pivot away from
7:10 am
the u.s. towards other markets those who make plans to relocate those plans are very much still in place and there is a growing understanding and there will be more of the next few days that this phase one deal has really very much been for the u.s. and for china low hanging fruit and like we had the issues that have started this trade war in the 1st place the industrial subsidies that china pays to state owned enterprises the technology race those issues will be you know much harder to reach an agreement on and. this morning. of course by the editor of the global times which is a state owned paper here released in quite a sobering message he said look this is good news. the u.s. respects china but there's still a lot of hard work going forward and we really have to stick together which is really a sign that china is going to expect over the next few days some criticism and blowback over this phase one deal once katrina. well analysts say the deal falls
7:11 am
well short of what donald trump wanted when he 1st fired the shots of the trade war last year from washington d.c. alan fischer explains why the president's administration still sees this as a victory the white house says that this is a significant and important agreement donald trump himself says it's 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 no 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 incomes the markets to outsiders namely the united states and also the sale of agricultural produce donald trump sees that as very important farmers have struggled
7:12 am
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 gore way but there are still tat of own chinese goods coming into the united states about 25 percent on $250000000000.00 worth of goods and 7.5 percent on $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. the un has accused chile of committing serious human rights violations against anti-government protesters investigators details of what they say were unlawful killing us as well as torture sexual abuse and excessive force there urging the
7:13 am
government to end the indiscriminate use of lead pellets and tear gas which have left about $350.00 people with severe eye injuries says the report is premature because its own investigations are still going on chuck walker is director of the hemispheric institute of the americas the university of california davis he believes the u.n. report will be taken seriously by chinese government i think there will be some jaded that kind of the nature of the sort of combination of police but this report now there's a military how they were really military organization so i do think we will see some some reforms on the long run some brought death will say too little too late but i think we will see some change because of this very divided. yet people in those in government are willing deathbeds ball that the minister of interior has already resigned a 4th resigned some others some of the police units will probably resign and go but they're clearly not going to they're going to block it with all their force any
7:14 am
sort of. requests that mediator resign and sell others say you know this this is that this is the point if you push this over there is going to be a debate it's going to take part in in the congress but also in the streets as well and still ahead and al-jazeera people in algeria are out in force to denounce the result of an election they say was a farce. and i'm sure grows in an indian state over a controversial citizenship law that excludes muslims. how it we've got some unsettled weather coming in across the middle east once again i think it should be quite as wet as it has been recently so there's the good news the fed but a cloud just spinning out of the mediterranean now it's just pushing over towards
