to america, more competitive, we will be working with the american administration over the coming weeks to highlight the negative impacts on americans and canadians. of these will also be working with our international partners and friends. and if it comes to that, our response of course, will be firm. we will stand up for canadians workers will stand up. comedian industries has promoted, but it has more on the use reaction from brussels. this seems to be pressing itself for the potential of a trade war with the united states of america over the utah to impose on europe and exports of aluminum and steve products. and this came at a very crucial moment for the you, which was hoping to be able to move away from the cushions of the russian invasion of ukraine, the rising inflation and economic recession. let's listen to what the trade

commission of how to say be the politic rights, these the seizures and announcements that you'll see snow justification for the imposition of studies on our exports, which is economically costs of product. the president of the commission alternative in the day and said that you have only takes to take them and appropriate counter measures against the from thomas the title. and it says, we'll meet on wednesday and on the agenda is a list of american exports. went to europe was likely to be targeted. we're talking about a put tens of 50 percent towers on american products, particularly motor bikes and most of both an alcoholic products and the you understand that this is going to be a critical moment. but they still have the option of a political supplement on

a trade agreement with the trump administration to prevent a descent into a class this this into was a german 10. so the auto sales, how to say. then let's see what's are kinda on the bottom left. if the us latest, no other choice than the european union will react in unison as the largest market in the world with 450000000 citizens, we have the strength to do so. i hope, however, that we will be sped. the misguided parts of tariffs and counter terrace in the end . trade was always cost of both sides prosperity a. why is this crucial for the a u. v you needs the united states of america for the many years to come for a wide range of issues. the future of any do you between the russians and the ukrainians a day, which is likely going to be abroad codes by the trump administration. the future vote of trump and the trans atlantic on lyons, the europeans having stake over the last 2 weeks,

that they were willing to buy more liquefied natural gas from the americans. more minutes we equipment from the united states of america, and this explains why they have been talking about the need to pursue the facts of tools as constructive dialogue. but the ultimate, they say that you have to insist on going ahead with the tires the the fee is without them, but they have to reciprocate hosted by the 0 brussels 1st on home. and with mexico's reaction to the increase terrace in the morning press conference of mexican president cloud, the same down, her administration responded to the us steel island medium terrace. as she willed out, a secretary of economy must celebrate abroad to do that, this amount not to be previous with a trump administration. he was the foreign minister of mexico. the 1st time that donald trump was president. so perhaps knows his way around the block a bit better. the most mexican government administration is when it comes to

dealing with president trump. yep. 2 messages. the 1st of which was that he said that actually the trade balance between mexico in the us, when it comes to still not a medium, is in the us, is failed to expose farm or steel to match coats, then goes the other white's view. i sort of indicating that the tires didn't make sense from that point of view. and it's of a message which he illustrates. if we have a glossy video, was about how integrate to this economic trading book is the us, canada, mexico. and he used the example of a car paul, the went across the buddha 8 times he said between kind of the mix for in the us before ending up in the us. call the city. if every time part go across the board or we put terrace on, then what does that mean for the consumer in the us, at the end of this process? so there's ways, 2 arguments. he wasn't talking about putting retaliatory at terrace from mexico on yet. he said that it was going to be talking to the us officials to us trade

representative in the week, but he had a final message which was basically don't shoot yourselves in the foot. don't a ruined 40 years of economic corporation between countries. so that's why mexico's, with this question of us terrace on still and alimony and john home. and i would just say the mexico city, south korea is the 4th largest ex, border of island minium to the us. robin fried is and so with reaction on those looming tariffs on steel, an element in there are growing concerns about the impact of these terrace here in south korea with the south korea is acting president choice 2nd book announcing a range of different support measures for companies from south korea that might be impacted, but expressing his fear of the profits of still making produces at could be hit and also promising to continue engaging with the us administration rights. up until the

threatened deposition of these terrace on the south korean. i live a medium and also a steal at there's also being a meeting between the trade minister and still make cuz south career is the 4th largest exports of steel in the world to at the united states. it exposed to $2800000.00 tons of steel last year. and now most of that was covered by a, a terrorist exemption scheme which was introduced during trumps. the 1st time in office when he imposed terrace on steel about south korean, a steel was given an exemption provided it was as if stuck to a fixed reduced quote to relax both to the u. s. market. now this time around, all of those exemptions are going so as after we'd still will face of this 25 percent power if like everybody else and the why. the concern for south korea is a given. it is such an export oriented economy. there are many other products which

it exports here to the us market from a semi conductor chips cause pharmaceuticals. the fear is that all of these could be hit by terrorist as well in the coming days and weeks, rob mcbride, i'll just say era. so the citing has resumed in the east of the democratic republic of congo after a 2 day pause for wanda backed. am 23 rebels in the congo. these army are battling in the air force, the area in south cable province, that's about 70 kilometers. and the provincial capital, because of the i'm 23 to control of the key city of goma. 2 weeks ago. leaders from east and southern africa are calling for an unconditional ceasefire. meanwhile, m. 23 rebels are denying the date, forced people from a displacements compliments scripts and go on despite resident saying they've been told to leave. many of the people who were sheltering their say they now have know

he said he doesn't know if he's safe at home or even if they still have homes to get back to. but still, most of them appear now to be packing up from beginning with jenny some others and said they will wait and see if indeed when, if, when they're actually forced to leave, security officials have told down to 0 that a suicide attack and i've gone a stone has killed at least 18 people. it happened outside of bank and the city of quin dues, north of the capital capital people were waiting to receive their salaries at the time. at least another 45 people were injured in that attack. i mean, i don't have a b as in independence analyst who focuses on political security issues and i'm gonna start and he says, it's not clear yet. who's responsible for the attack? there are lots of groups saying i've done is on according to date you in the reports on yesterday's um, un security councils. um and you know,

comments uh from various um representatives solve the various countries. uh, the more than 2 any uh, you know, uh, service groups still operating and i've done a size of that. but normally in the pop us, uh, such attacks of being and diet or other ice escape. i've taken responsibility for that and on this time redone snow, but the problem is that it's more than 3 years and a half. that's the thought of on is backing power. no recognition, no recognition might in the international community and there's no process to get recognition or legitimacy through that process so that there is lots of resentments against them. and lots of issues especially laid out the cards the, the us funding. what i've done is on is um and stop when there is no real good

condition. there is no development inside the country. there's no hope for the people that, that the country was back the way. go back to a kind of uh, normal c on that last. so fact use inside the country and using data platform do it to do um, you know, employed them disenfranchised people, you know, to use them for their own terrorist activities. a swedish women has been jailed for 12 years on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in syria. 52 year old lena shock was found guilty of keeping 3 is easy. women and 6 children are slaves at her home in the car between 20142016. it's sweden's 1st case involving crimes committed by i so against the is easy minority paul races following developments from the swedish capital stock home. lena, a shark has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. it's the 1st conviction in sweden on that lot to

looked specifically into them. and this is also part of a broader investigation in which we are working with those phones, germany and belgium and the netherlands. the prosecutor's office said they would be appealing to try and get a heavier sentence, and it down to lena shock that also considering opening proceedings against the swedish mon, already convicted in france and belgium, over the execution of a jordanian pilots, by iso fights has. meanwhile, germany has said it will prosecute any officials of the partial i'll sub regime the tried to enter the country, jeremy, how's it previously convicted? mid ranking. so it goes in the regime, but no higher on king figures as yet it did that under the principle of universal jurisdiction, allowing it to prosecute people not to the nationality or where the alleged crimes

were carried out. a full rece, which is era stop. world governments have traded visions for the future of artificial intelligence at a summit in paris, nearly a 100 countries including china, india and the united states are meeting to decide if competing national interest and this a ice space can be reconciled. european commission president ursula of underlying announced an additional 50000000000 heroes for the blocks invest a i n a should have funds to open. i hear that 0 is late to the race by the united states. china. i've already got a heads. i disagree because the a i race is far from being over, truces were only at the beginning. the frontier is constantly moving. global leadership is still up for grabs. and behind the frontier lives,

the whole world of a i adoption, the us vice president, events has made his 1st major policy speech since being elected last month. he says, the largest obstacle to a growth globally is regulation. the united states of america is the leader in a i, in our administration plans to keep it that way. america wants to partner with all of you. we want to embark on the a i revolution before us with a spirit of openness and collaboration. but to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that fosters the creation of a i. technology rather than strangles us. and us judge has rule. the trump administration violated his earlier order by failing to resume the funding of federal programs. president trump froze billions of dollars that pay for things

such as health care, pensions, and veterans benefits. the white house says it will be appealing, not really. in bangladesh, the trump administration, suspension of us humanitarian funding has disrupted essential services such as food, clean water, education, and health care and rural areas. many non governmental organizations. i've already felt the impact leading to layoffs and office closures. long term. this decision could affect millions of people in some of the poorest areas of the country. time here child re has more from dot com the us, human attorney and agencies bangladesh is program is its largest in asia, included in the program. our training for the benefits of foot producers like farmers and small business owners, a camera list, and i'm the owner of a small fish farm in roll of northern bangladesh. so he's a have to reprice things to usaid support. now with the president trump,

suspending all funding, he's worried about the future offers farm other than they used to support us with fish and machinery, which helped our business. now it's stopped and we have to layoff some walk. us hope to renew the program and it would be a big help. us aids effort in bangladesh also focused on climate smart agriculture, digital tools, legal aid services, and private sector engagement. done. we'll do this for ease of hip, my wife and me, hard as we both work on this us 8 funded legally project no longer with 14 others. we are unemployed and uncertain about the future. the funding grades will make life difficult for and you and local organizations that they find on us human, a terry and they environment best with no sudden entity about whether funding will resume after the 90 day review that plays disruptions and planning and services and could be forced to layoff stuff many already have since trump's integration,

the globally known health research center in bangladesh, i say d d r b has had to lay off more than 1000 employees. our foundation has been advocating for workers rights, particularly for women in bangladesh as government sector for over 2 decades. that are us, i did the soonest, the us age freeze. we have had to layoff 25 percent of all of stuff and shut down our offices in decor and try to grow. we were working to improve commons workers' rights, a collective bargaining and union formation with this setback, we've heard out as a factory owners may take the foundation of it, a product of a ones. the phrase could this up essential services like food, a health care, clean water, an education for marginalized communities because they have a major impact because of the sudden disruption. and there was u. s. a. i do funding directly with partners government as well as through a u. n. agencies. so it's impacting all these organizations. communities we work

with are impacted. the move is causing global and local and such entity for those relying on us funding. finding alternative sources of support to fill the void left by the us will likely take some time to reach audrey. i'll just talk a former colombian president, alvaro rebate has denied charges of bribery and witness tampering in the opening statements out of his trial. the long awaited case was linked to his legend, right wing parliament paramilitary ties, alexander and p, etc, reports in the capital boats all through years of delays. former presidents, i'll go to the bay face the judge for the 1st time on charges of witness bribery and procedural fraud, and unprecedented the case for a former columbia leaders. and you guys would even be nice wrong doing, calling the trial politically motivated. it'll kick line very simple salesforce, i don't intend to replace my lawyers. i didn't bribe or order the bribery of

witnesses. i didn't receive justice in this trial will prove that there was a politically motivated case against me reset or for the case stems from allegations that would eventually intermediaries pressured. witnesses to attract statesmen slinking, come to right wing power, military group, photo of yours would evade columbia as most powerful and divisive political figure govern from 2002 to 2010. his hard line security policies significantly weakens less. the skills e yes. and boosted the economy, but were overshadowed by human rights violations, including x or diesel killings of civilians and ties to paramilitary groups. outside the court, dozens of supporters protested in this defense. protecting that means the visa keys ation stem from his political enemies, waste citizens who lived to the violence and with his supporting president to reba . because we're concerned about the situation in the country. he was the only one

who came to a store order at the time when we couldn't even leave the city. god. okay, what is his lawyer called for the judges refusal claim your bias? another attempt to stop proceedings. look at both as good a political analyst that here was mine says there's no evidence of that. and this trial is not about us legacy. what he did as president or his figure as a historical figure in columbia. it's about very specific case of conspiracy and witness tampering and bribery that happened after he left the office. and so where the fax leads us is what the courts are set to investigate. and i think it's important to step back and let the judicial process work its way if found guilty, what he meant for its face up to 12 years in prison. but the clock is ticking. there's no verdict by next october, the case could expire. putting pressure on the ports to move fast. after years of legal and political, her adults allison that i'm get the address the you have

a book that origin seeing us government is looking to expand and importance water way to accommodate larger cargo ships. but people living and working alongside the parent to say the river can't take anymore developments. daniels weimer has more of the this and increasingly come into sites on the bottom. now river, fuel fish or sometimes no efficient, so threatening livelihoods. cardoso says he's fish. these will just for 20 years, and it's clear about what's at stake. your net this nowadays we fish to survive because selling a kilo official barely covers are rising costs. corneo is also clear about where the blame lies. the huge cargo vessels which transport 80 percent of our agency and is agriculture exports from a river. hundreds of them he says, disturbing the waters, blocking channels and destroying coastlines,

is pretty simple. again, it's sad because we live here. we get up every day at 5 am and can work until 10 or 11 at night. rain storms, heat and cold were here. the smell puts us to see the audience in you and governments. we privatization of the management. maintenance of the room to way threatens the future of the river itself. these trees codio has planted to mitigate the damage. what withstand the ever big a cargo ships and heavy a drenching vessels? they say that the multi $1000000000.00 sales is expected to bring. this is the river power on a peaceful on the surface with the sight of, of buffalo between those trying to exploit this vast potential and those funds to protect it, to sustain a way of life. they've known for generations. this privatization is the house of the government's program to sell states assets which include the national airline industry and communication companies. officials say, as a central for origin, see no one of the world's largest agricultural exports is to meet well demand.

those who live along the river, i believe the motive is simply profits. well, i get, and i mean, that's who i agree or is that for the great threat to the river, is making it deep privatization. because the national government wants to transform this river into a sea. so that megabytes can enter to make it data without doing environmental studies, without looking at the environmental impact when she needs to use the power. and there is the 2nd longest river in latin america. subbing southern brazil powered one uruguay as well as arch and tina conversion with other rivers before joining the south atlantic ocean of one of the cyrus. i, you know, my name back here, the way to respect the waterways for the birds to adapt to the way the river has worked for thousands of years. not for the river to adapt to these boats, which keep getting bigger. you know, kids who uses you slicing to keep the river alive. it's only those seeking to exploit the voltage with listening to him and the thousands like him who knows about enough to whom the river is life. then you find the roaches era,

the bottom river argentina, a month long band on fishing, has sparked outrage among the fishermen, sierra leone. the government says it made the decision to allows thoughts to recover. but the fishing community says it's the wrong thing to do. for me, i did the race reports from tumble out to fort fisherman. mind me shed. he's men suspicion get looking for when he and his crew can return to see now with no other source of income, he says he doesn't know why his next meal would come from. we were to go see, what do we get from the seas, which we used to take care of our families. we have no resist the full back on many families kind of feed, well, pay rent, children school fees. and it's only a week into the month long fishing band enforced by say to you once government

manufacturing here like a remind me, rushed to the atlantic ocean before the band came in. they needed to catch this manufacturer so they can to survive. the bad menu said they couldn't get much says over fishing has designated 70 units which stocks it's walls and bees have lost their usual buses. this is what life looks like instead of your own, especially in communities, are they boats. and out of what fishermen who say life has come to a standstill and this is what they would have to endure throughout the month of february, an estimated $400000.00 instead of unions involved in fishing with hundreds of thousands more indirectly employed in the sector. fish provides 80 percent of the nation support them. but for the past week, there's hardly any in the market. in december, last year, the government denounced the band to allow the marine ecosystem to recover, promising to provide alternatives to local official was given the women,

the fish smallness, some money. we put them like in groups and then the, the official folks us for the fishermen. we've given them money, so the next step is for us to be able to give them rice. critics say the support government has promised hasn't reached many, for most set of unions binding small scale fishermen and allowing forwarding industrial cordless to explode the country. some of the resources is counter productive. what the in the cell and that's, i'm asking because i'm going simultaneously on demand. so that's a lot of the facility finishing to see what the new stuff that's what i'm not from fishing that the in the so uh uh, being that proceed activities. this is what you guys pretend to be positioned as i'm, i think that will be caught by the inductive critics. a set of us pushing industry suffers from a lack of transparency and pointed correlation that to support hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. and the future of the country smattering resources at the mercy of forwarding fission. foreigners will hardly ever expect locals.

fishermen here say they just will, but at the end of the band, there will be fish to catch how many degrees august data come will be set of your and where you live to the white house dot is the scene there right now where jordan's king abdullah is just arriving and he's expected to be meeting with the us president, donald trump, at the white house. he is of course, the 1st era leader to be meeting with trump since he took office in january. a. just a reminder ahead of the meeting, trump has threatened to cut off u. s. a to jordan, unless it agrees to take in about to the palestinians or from uh from cause or the trump is seeking or maybe seeking to forcibly relocate. so let's bring in alan fisher joining us as well from the white house. so as we wait to see a king of the law arriving to the white house,

he's expected to meet with donald trump. allen, talk to us about what's at stake here, and what we should be looking out for is usually important meeting for the jo damian king. i'm just looking down the driveway here on the north lawn of the white house, the gates of open, which suggest that the king isn't far away and i can hear sirens in the distance now getting closer, which would suggest that his motorcade is just seconds. wait, donald trump, of course, we'll meet them at the doors of the oval office, then the tube, when they'll have a meeting with a senior official state as well, including michael, reveal the new secretary of state. and of course the king's advisors. they will head and have lunch, and then king abdullah will depart from the white house. there is no intention to hold a news conference, or indeed any comments in front of the cameras. unusual for donald trump, but that shows just how delicate this is for king abdullah. he's under pressure

from donald trump to accept palestinians from guys a part of donald trump plan to create a new riviera where the united states will take over the land, build a new place to the palestinians somewhere in the region. and then affectively stop the palestinians from returning to guys a note. if the jordanians don't, donald trump has hinted that he may well blow up any future 8 to jordan about 40 percent of the 4 need that goes to jordan is provided by the american some 1500000000 dollars a year and not largely under pins as the jordanian economy. the other problem, of course, is that one of the countries with least water access in the world is georgia. so it's taking another 1000000 people. it seems highly unlikely with political pressure on a king abdullah as well something that he is willing to take on at this stage. so he's got to say no to donald trump.
