5:16 pm
the midlands. and really it's only in london and the southeast where shortages are continuing to occur around 22 percent of fuel stations down there are suffering from outages are essentially dry the petrol station where i am at the moment on the, in the west of furniture to city center, it does have a couple of pumps shots, but the others are operating normally on. there has been no panic, buying or cues that we've witnessed while we've been here. the army all coming in somewhat to lately for some people's opinion on starting in the south and east, in training for the last few days in essex to the east of london. and they will be assisting the hgtv tanker drivers to try to get up that hill to where it's mostly that the numbers are small. i have to say this around 65 drivers are actually starting a maximum around a 100. it will be used at the, at the peak of this, what's called operation escalade on and not really as a drop in the ocean when you consider that the full extent of the shortage of
5:17 pm

5:18 pm
then set the vehicles on fire. tens of thousands of farmers have now been camping on major highways from months to oppose new agricultural laws. elizabeth per annum has moved from new delhi. the farmers protests have been going on for nearly a year, and in that time we have seen on several occasions, scuffles between farmers and security forces, but this is one of the most a major escalations. we have 8 people dead for farmers. 3 workers belonging to prime minister in that in the morning by the a john, the party or b j, p, and their driver. now we have with the state where it took place, the head of police, they're saying that the situation in the district or lacking for katie is tense. but under control, police have imposed a ban on people gathering. they have suspended internet services in many parts of the district in an effort to stop more people from protesting that
5:19 pm

5:20 pm
says china. the lack of adherence to global trading norms has undercut the prosperity of americans and others around the world. well, that's now speak white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins company, given all the tension between washington and beijing to date. it really doesn't sound like we should be expecting any major shifts in the relationship. that's really important. observation because yeah, what we're seeing so far from the trade representative in the by an administration is it lays out what it calls it. strategic vision is that it's not really any different than what we saw, at least from face value from the trumpet, ministration policy, which was heavily criticized by the political opposition when it was undergoing at a very terse tit for tat back and forth. that lasted a couple of years, what the trade representative is saying is that the deal that was struck under the trumpet ministration. that essentially was known as phase one of the trade deal
5:21 pm
with china. that was to encourage china to buy american goods in a value of about $200000000000.00. that as sensually what the trade representative is saying is that china has not lived up to its commitments. in fact, when it comes to the goal of buying those goods, it has met just 62 percent of that benchmark. and as a result of the trade minister or rather trade representative saying that china is lack of adherence to global trading norms has undercut the prosperity of americans and others around the world. it's increasingly clear that china plans not to include meaningful reforms to address the concerns that have been shared by the united states and other countries. so as a result of what the biden administration is expected to do to try and hold china to account is to introduce a system that would be somewhat punitive in nature. if china does not continue to live up to phase one of this trade agreement that was put in place essentially,
5:22 pm
to encourage frank conversations and to introduce for forms. there is going to be a program set up that would include terror. exclusions, in other words, targeted tariffs that could potentially be removed if china lives up to the terms of the agreement. what provide administration is trying to do it says, is defend the rights of the american worker, the middle class, and also to increase american prosperity as a result of its freight relationship with china. the trade was set to continue. white house correspondent. kimberly how can that for a thank you. kimberly o. meanwhile, chinese housing joined. ever grand has had its share suspended as investigate as investors await a statement about its future. the firm said the trade holds in hong kong came ahead of an announcement on a major transaction. every brand has run into trouble over the past few months as aging tightened rules and the property sector to rain and debt levels. and the company's shares have fallen by nearly 80 percent since just the start of this year . on south korea says it's restored

5:24 pm
and it was in june of last year that they took the step of cutting all of the communication lines and even going as far as destroying with explosives the liaison office that had been set up. what during better times be when relations were, were better between the north and the south. so it is important that they are kept open as they were cut 2 months ago again because of the north, protesting against military exercises in the south, the southeast, hoping that this time they will stay up a fo a permanently because they are hoping that this could be done, we have to use the caveat. said that it, this is only a possibility that there might be a start now of better relations, but certainly the south is as welcome this move and saying that it could now stabilize and restore relations with the north. how staying in the region and japan's new prime minister for me. ok, shita has called a general election for october 31st. politicians and both parliaments officially elected kisha as prime minister. sharon's 3 reports to me, you, casey,
