press conference if in fact his his his stance on the issue was too soft and whether he was not using strong tactics in order to try to gain their release trudeau denying this and saying that he was using the appropriate tactics and measures in order to gain that now he was asked questions about whether the 2 michael should be considered hostages in this case he he refrained from answering those questions obviously not wanting to stir the pot any more than it already is at this point in time but he did reiterate the fact that the chinese are saying that the chinese had linked the cases of these 2 canadians to the case of the way executive among one jew the extradition hearing to the united states that is under way in vancouver now he did also say that maybe alluding to the fact that the

candidate was not going to try to interfere in the case against the way executive saying that it's very important for a candidate to maintain its judicial independence and to allow those proceedings to go ahead without any interference politically so maybe trying to show a little bit of the different tact that canada is taking in this then china is but obviously for the canadian government at stake here right now is the return of those 2 canadians truly saying that he was certain that they would be returning to canada but he didn't put a time frame on that the stage and that's a story we'll continue watching very closely indeed david mess that there for us and thank you deborah. now turning to the current a virus pandemic in brazil has reported more than 1200 deaths from the corona virus in a single day it comes as the number of cases in that country nears 1000000 well it's

brazil has reported more than 1200 deaths from a friend of ours single day it comes as the world health organization edges bija lands to a record number of infections wildlife in the past 24 hours. and commemorations are being held across the u.s. marking the end of slavery the day known as juneteenth has gained significance this year after a nationwide protest for racial justice. staying in the u.s. and a course is hearing president trying to last ditch attempt to stop the release of a tell all book by his former national security advisor the justice department says john. bolton's memoir contains classified material and has called for a temporary restraining order but many media outlets have already obtained advance copies of the book and bolton has asked the court to dismiss the case against him but our correspondent allen says says in washington d.c. with more on what that court will be hearing the trumpet ministration through the

department of justice is going to argue that the book has a number of classified paragraphs which contain information which should not be out in the public the problem that they have got is that the president didn't see that what he said is the book is full of lies the other problem they've got is the book is out there the media have it extracts have been published people have copies of i have a digital copy of copies circulating here and many many many thousands of copies have hit the bookstores in the u.s. and beyond ready for the publication date on tuesday so it is very difficult for the court to argue. that they've ministration to argue to the court that this book needs to be stopped john bolton well he's opposing it obviously it's the actions against him rather than against the publisher it's john bolton he says is donald

trump doesn't want to stop foreign governments leaving his boots the problem he's got such is the american people reading this now the u.k. france and germany say they won't back a u.s. push for the reimposition of u.n. sanctions on iran washington has threatened to trigger the sanctions if the u.n. does not extend a certain expiring weapons and foreign ministers from the 3 european countries say that could jeopardize the 2015 new care court they're urging terror on to fully comply with the deal. well former allies in yemen's war are now battling to control an island off the horn of africa southern separatists have stormed the security department building in the city of haditha on the island of sumatra the southern transitional council is backed by the united arab emirates and it's fighting government forces supported by saudi arabia now the s.t.c. had originally supported the saudi u.a.e. coalition against the rebels but now wants to break away from northern ireland

a yemeni minister has called on the coalition to end the fighting and to restore order on the island but earlier i spoke to catherine check them she is the director of the yemen unit at the next century foundation that's a think tank that operates in conflict zones she says the resurgence in fighting is possibly because of turkey's growing involvement in yemen it was a real fear that they would try to encroach on to the south and problems of yemen and try to open not you know and use one i've been through if you will and i think that the u.a.e. reacted to you know and you see what is happening now in secret trials and we need to remember about i suppose the uys concerned the whole intervention in yemen anyway i was always about having control of that which you raise in yemen so in the south and making sure that for example secret how would not fool read in someone else's jurisdiction as far as they are concerned that it was a matter of. national security so i think that the 5 knowledge that we see around

not in your hands it's a very tall tale sign to me. the reason a lot of anxiety like the animosity toward syria and that potentially we seeing new crocs appearing in terms of the creation and very kind of. chances that underpins these very very tentative lines. well now the last of 3 aid shipments has arrived in yemen as the u.n. suffers a funding crisis there and 40 tons of medical equipment including ventilators and testing kits have been flown in to help the country battle the coronavirus earlier this month a u.n. appeal fell $1000000000.00 short of what was needed for some 75 percent of its programs to be cut in yemen demonstrators are gathering in mali's capital for the 2nd time this month ramping up pressure on president abraham to back a case or to resign the protests in bamako are being encouraged by opposition leader mahmoud decode cases opponents accuse him of corruption and of failing to

contain violent armed groups the president has promised to hold talks to establish a unity government nicholas haq is following the developments from senegal capital dhaka and he says the unrest is being felt across the region. it's significant enough that the west african body echo was sent a high delegation. to the capital bamako to try to mediate what seems to be intensifying conflict part of this delegation we have the foreign minister of nigeria i rico and the air and the head of the commission head of echo was to try to find some sort of agreement between the 2 parties because the protest the protestors are gaining momentum now there's less people than last week partly because people couldn't afford to come to the capital bamako from the countryside and because of the security situation but still we have thousands of people on the streets of moscow protesting asking for president. to once again resign so it

seems that the concessions that the president had made on tuesday raising the salaries of teachers and. suggesting that he would dissolve the newly elected national assembly in the constitutional court calling for an national unity government will all that was not enough to quell the crowd of protesters and in the absence of. who is the main opposition leader who's currently has been abducted a few months ago during the parliamentary elections in the absence of stimulus he said well it's the influential leader mahmoud who's leading the charge against so following this high level mediation by the west african body he's conceded that he's willing to hold talks with as long as he fulfilled his promises. now india's prime minister has assured opposition leaders the country's borders are

secure and that the military is capable of defending them rendered ready said the entire country was hurt and angry 20 indian soldiers were killed in violence on the disputed border with china on tuesday it's caused a flare up of and he chinese sentiment and one of india's biggest trading associations is calling for a boycott of thousands of chinese products and is a big problem reports. gathering the chinese products from the homes and setting them on fire. burning effigies of president xi jinping along with the chinese flag . already facing billboards advertising chinese products people have protested across india calling for both military and economic action after 20 indian soldiers were killed along the border with china for the 1st time in 45 years jean as you have what china's doing at the border has very young fortunate if a country is going to treat india like an enemy then we should also. we should not

have any created lucian's with china here. that's a sentiment shared by many including an influential group of traders it's not just a campaign asking movie stars to stop advertising chinese products it's also $70000000.00 members to boycott $3000.00 chinese products starting with those which it says can be replaced with indian made items spending money on chinese products is a do would be good to hit the country because china will use the money i don't. report pakistan for it getting the respect of reducing our country or china over the money goods forces against forces. we asked the head of the trade association of he'll stop using his apple i phone and given many a mate or assembled in china there's a good idea but let me know not. all of. india imports $70000000000.00 with of products from china southern bazaar is one of

the biggest markets in india selling everything from household items to any tronics toys clothes and cosmetics and like other markets elsewhere would sell things and both and at low cost many of the products here i made in china. shop owners say they support a boycott of chinese products. or do chinese dog you have to offer that people and no longer buy chinese and will make an effort to buy indian me even if you make less profit. but others told us they could make a living if they didn't sell chinese made products but were afraid of saying that in the current climate of anti china sentiment. china isn't just the biggest exposure to india it's also a crucial investor in some of its most successful e-commerce companies but i don't think it's practical because you know indian economy is is very

closely interlinked with the chinese economy and you know we rely on giant no for a lot of critical paradoxes it's not easy to really replace all the boards. because you know you need to invest a $1000000000.00 to. you know manufacturing and that can't happen in a hurry. so while people destroy chinese products in public and the hash tag boycott chinese products trends on twitter the latest model of chinese smartphone one plus sold out online in minutes elizabeth al-jazeera new delhi and now the southern indian city of chennai is back under lockdown after a jump in corona virus cases there health officials reported almost $1400.00 new infections on thursday the restrictions will remain in place until at least the end of the month police have set up hundreds of checkpoints to enforce the rules and drones are also being used to monitor resident. and author it is in beijing say the
