12:20 pm
for both military and economic action after 20 indian soldiers were killed along the border with china for the 1st time in 45 years what china is doing it is very young fortunate if a country is going to treat india like an enemy then we should also. we should not have any creative lucian's with china. that's a sentiment shared by many including an influential group of traders it's not 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 i do would be good to the country because china will use the money. i don't. report pakistan for it getting the respect of reducing our country or china that money. against. we asked the head of the trade association of

12:22 pm
in the current climate of anti china sentiment. china isn't just the biggest exporter 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 the indian economy. is very close to the chinese economy and you know we rely on joe know for a lot of critical products it's not easy to really replace all the boards. because you know you need to invest a $1000000000.00 to. 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. if he is rejecting a push by egypt to refer

a dispute over its not river dam project to the un security council talks between ethiopia egypt and sudan have sold again after resuming earlier this month egypt is worried the grand renaissance dam will take away water its people need to survive ethiopia sees a project as an important step in helping to pour millions out of poverty. issue the issue with the day can be solved right here instead of taking it to the u.n. security council we believe this is not the mandate of the security council this project is a developmental project the president of the sits for the world in the future is very bad this can also be considered as interfering in a sovereign nations peaceful activity therefore it is not right to do it joseph siegel is director of research at the africa center for strategic studies based at the national defense university he says egypt's latest move is far eastern strategy to extract more concessions from ethiopia. well i think what egypt is trying to do
12:24 pm
is raise the stakes and keep pressure on ethiopia and attempt to try and exact is struck a deal as it can out from ethiopia. you know both sides and sadat have actually been meeting. even earlier this week at the technical level yeah and. you have cording to the sudanese your cation minister and they have an agreement to 90 to 95 percent of the issues and so there is a dialogue happening so i think what the egyptians are trying to do is to try to keep the issue as as high up in high profile as possible to tip to put pressure on ethiopia for a better deal. all sides have a lot of you know. pride and identity in this project i mean obviously the dollar river is the troll to egypt's existence and its and its identity and its
12:25 pm
economy. meanwhile ethiopia has done for quite $6000000000.00 of its own resources to build this thing out minutes seen. as point of national pride where it is going to be able to generate power for itself and for the entire region as a means of lifting the country out of poverty and you know they've gone through a very. long process of raising funds from everyday citizens so they have a lot invested in seeing this through. a u.s. navy captain who was fired after writing a letter calling for better protection for his crew after a cold 1000 outbreak on board well not be even stated military officials say brett crow z.f. failed to act quickly enough to protect his same is on the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt and for his investigation had recommended that the navy give him back his job well then 1000 same as on the ship tested positive and one died. from the virus mike hanna is in washington with more on the investigation. well admiral
12:26 pm
michael gilday who's the head of naval operations was the senior officer who originally asked for the captain to be reinstated he has been at the top of that investigation and he's now made an announcement that if he'd known then what he knows now he would never have recommended reinstatement he says he found a number of command issues with both the captain and the strike commander of the fleet of which theodore roosevelt is a part and he along with the captain have now been basically reassigned they will not get any further promotions so essentially the careers have been put on hold but the key to this according to good to admiral gilday is the fact that chains of command were not properly followed at the admiral commanding the strike force had not being told by the captain aboard the same vessel he was on that this letter was going out so he found in retrospect after this lengthy investigation that there
12:27 pm
were real command and control issues involved and that the reassignment of the captain should go ahead the u.k. france and germany say they won't support washington's efforts to re-impose u.n. sanctions on iran the u.s. has threatened to trigger the sanctions if the u.n. does not extend to an expiring weapons embargo foreign ministers from the 3 countries say that could jeopardize the 2050 nuclear ords. some of iraq's most traditional kraftwerk is at risk of vanishing as a nationwide financial crisis hits home grown industries the government hopes fiery ties in the development of its private sector will help its otherwise oil dependent economy simona 14 has this report from back that. since he was a child a bus cardroom has built for additional furniture from palm fronds his precise moves are the result of generations of expertise passed down from his father and grandfather but now the trade is addressed of dying out. my
