3:24 am
the white house china is to my lead. united states immediately improve its trade practices with beijing or face retaliatory tariffs. it follows a ruling by the world trade organization along china to take action, or what it regards is unfair us duties and it comes to a decade long dispute. katrina, you is more from beijing. this dates back to a case lodged by beijing against washington. back in 2012, under the previous obama administration at the time, washington had imposed power on a number of chinese goods, including wind towers, solar panels, things like citric acid. and washington argument was that the firms creating these goods were partially owned by state or entity government entities. and therefore, china was not abiding by market principles. and so they slept on these types on these chinese goods. now the w t o is saying that china has the right to impose
3:25 am
$645000000.00 worth of retaliatory tariffs on the us. now there's 2 things to remember about this really number one that this amount of money, although it sounds like a lot is actually much less than what china originally asked for. china originally asked for the right to impose $2400000000.00 worth of tires against washington. secondly, this amount is really paling in comparison to the amount of tower of since imposed on chinese goods by the previous trump administration. and those tariffs have amounted to $110000000000.00. under this ongoing trade war, a british prime minister bruce johnson, has confirmed he intends to release in full a report into parties at his residence during lockdown. top civil 7 see gray has been investigating social gatherings at number 10, downing street, allegedly in breach of current virus restrictions at the time. a police are also conducting their own inquiry into potential breaches. you delaying the say greater
3:26 am
both? absolutely not, but you'll just have to, i'm afraid you've got to let the independent inquiries go on when, when do you think it will be published? i wish i congress any more than what i said yesterday by that really publish it in full. of course that has been caused, where the poland, new border of all will do much to stop people crossing illegally from berries. it started construction on the hughes structure promised after migrant crisis on the eastern flank last year. but those it meant to be deterred by say they have little choice but to try anyway. general reports now from because need to in eastern poland once complete in the summer, poland wall will be a 186 kilometers long, almost half the length of the borderline with bell roofs. will it stop almost daily, attempt by refugees and migrants to make the illegal crossing?
3:27 am
probably not according to a kurdish immigration lawyer who spoke to al jazeera, especially if, as he is widely alleged, they continue to get help from bella. russian border guards actually acting all is not, is not useful. he knows that the guns can find another way. and then maybe as you know, as i told is that god, this helps them to cross the border. and of course, they find another place ragas. put us in touch with nisa occurred this refugee who with his family, including young children, is among hundreds living in a warehouse on the bell russian side. i asked nisa if he was aware that poland is building a wall to keep people like him out. you know, what can we do? we have to wait. we can go back to our country when not part of the political problem between belarus and poland. we just want to cross the border and get to
3:28 am
safety in the european union. it's a familiar story told by desperate people fleeing circumstances they can no longer tolerate. they may be among them purely economic migrants as well. but poland makes little distinction, putting hundreds into asylum detention camps and simply pushing others back. the crisis that flared last autumn is now much reduced. thousands were allegedly lured to the batteries border on the false promise of an easy crossing. it was both a cynical attempt by bella rose to destabilize parts of the e. u and also a political opportunity for the polish government. ponens wall being built at vast expense and partly forests that are a unesco protected world heritage site is a pretty extraordinary answer to what is now a fairly minimal problem. is it worth it to stop small numbers of people trying to cross the border from belarus? well, it is. if you are a right wing populous government, state ron tv,
3:29 am
news bulletins report the broadly popular claim that poland is doing its bit to protect the external borders of the e. u. from uncontrolled migration. public opposition to the government's policies does exist. we just like to let people know that maybe not everyone in poland is against people coming here from other parts of the world and we are here for them. but their voices barely heard. jonah hall al jazeera in eastern podium. as part of eyes removing neil young's music, counts the rock star off the platform to choose between him and podcast. j rogan young. i accuse yet rogan of spreading misinformation, job experiences. the top port castles are fine with an estimated $200000000.00 downloads per month, young condemned rogan's interview with an infectious disease specialist,
