this is deja vu news live from berlin ken israel and iran pulled back from the brink calls from restraint from world leaders after israel's deadly raid on a rainy and targets inside syria all eyes now are on any possible new military activity after israel draws a red line and says it will not back down. also coming up a rare show of unity between moscow and berlin germany's foreign minister calling for frank and constructive dialogue and as he and his russian counterpart agree on

the need to preserve the around nuclear deal. and the dark side of trade between spain and morocco the moroccan women working in so-called mules carrying heavy merchandise across the border businessmen exploiting them to take advantage of an import tax loophole it is in our morocco's most vulnerable women are painted price . i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us international calls for restraint are growing after the most serious military confrontation between israel and iran in years the german chancellor on the america was among those who condemned the apparent or rainy in attacks on israeli positions and a phone call with iran's president hassan rouhani yesterday the channels are pointed out. that this is not the way forward and rouhani for his part said he does

not want any new tensions in the mideast now those tensions were triggered when israel carried out widespread deadly raids tonight ago two nights ago against what it says were a rainy and targets inside syria now this was in response to israeli positions coming under was believed to be a rainy and rocket fire in the israeli occupied golan heights just across the border from syria and israel's prime minister has accused iran of crossing a red line iran's foreign ministry has today been quoted as condemning the or israeli military action calling it quote a breach of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of syria. and this tile on its way to destroy an at a fence system this laid down fifty each at least by israel's defense force says one of the barrel of strikes on iranian military sites in syria israel's prime

minister gave the justification. the hunt let's look of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria we're engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria. iran provides political and military backing to the regime of syrian president bashar al assad in the country's civil war israel fears this is part of iran's strategics expansion in the middle east. slummy tribute of the islamic republic of iran as was recently revealed by an intelligence operation is the greatest threat to the peace of mankind in general and the middle east and israel in particular. israel says its strikes were retaliation for a rocket attack on territory it occupies in the golan heights according to israel

iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach their target . if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the us and the un are calling for restraint. no he's getting it's getting moved on there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid that that's what i told the really in president rouhani and i'll pass on the message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in statements in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation study to me that it would just get. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. ok with us escalation headed with me in the studio is khaled weiss journalist in syria alast good morning as ever collins israel says it destroyed most of iran's military assets inside syria that's the claim it's making

with this week's streitz now is that a realistic claim given how long iran had to dig in and harden its assets there in probably the dug in but what israel did for the first time was hit hard if enough influence their authority presence that the influence of iran and hezbollah in syria extending from areas near to visual and house all the way east to the iraqi border so that the iranian corded border suddenly became vulnerable to the israeli air force it's it's a change in the previous israeli strategy of selecting places to hit here and this is a concerted attack against a belt of iranian and hezbollah militia presence in syria ok you think those assets were hit you think they were destroyed you are also the. long war with iraq they have military experiences they might have been hit but not

not thought that it destroyed them with being prepared it would be. let's put it this way is nobody actually would know of the iranians would have been destroyed ok unless you have observers on the ground it's hard to get a complete assessment in spite of satellite photos is that correct jackie ok now russia has threatened to supply syria with the very sophisticated s. three hundred air defense missile system it's supposed to be one of the best in the world that's what jane's defense calls it and that system would give affectively or end affectively israeli air superiority would that mean that israel would be forced to use ground forces to secure the red line that netanyahu has made and its own cross border security didn't even describe what syria assad's army has been this is meted more or less by defections by the whole transformation of the state started

not known coming through just the militia force so we're not talking really about this you know this is a planned organized can handle sophisticated systems who is on the ground in syria is russia and iran and the syrian army is more or less a set of good if you've gotten this with it this is the most of the greatest system or not is that it is good for from the places in lebanon to intervene on the ground in another country and then have to have more or less underlying allies on the ground like in lebanon so for this to to reach that stage it would take lots of levels of collation ok so you don't think that there would be israeli forces on the ground and you don't think that the s. three hundred would be supplied unless there was huge miscalculation hugest collation and you know missiles are not just supplied the training any time they need this is not going on it's going to happen this not going to happen in one night the next day and those missile defenses could possibly be manned by russians

which would increase the stakes for israel them yes and this is what we have seen in. in all of these states from communist dog in egypt for example lots of the hard work was manned by by it i'm not sure how much putin would want to escalate this remember israel has had veto power more or less indonesian that is close to that vital to its security which is that could it go to talking about ok we saw this telephone call between the german chancellor and hassan rouhani the president of iran what does that mean our world leaders concerned about a further military escalation you're sounding somewhat sanguine that that's not in the cards i mean it looks like there is that concern out there it's an embarrassment for for the west and photographed merkel and for germany because they backed this iran deal and then it became waterless license for of iran to bow out more or less a monster that in syria is so in iran is embarrassing to the us the moment

embarrassing the west do you think donald trump has called iran his bluff is he the winner in this nuclear deal standoff i think iran has lots to lose by having a military confrontation syria lebanon would be hit lots of foot what the lebanese have been would be hit by israel is that i'd still have the military says i think iran will be very careful to provoke an all out war in that he should deliver a wise gentle syria analyst thanks very much for being with us today thanks well the heightened tensions between israel and iran and the fallout from the us leaving the iran nuclear deal were the main topics during the german foreign minister was first visit to russia as new foreign minister maz has taken a tougher approach with moscow than his predecessor and in spite of seeing eye to eye with russia on keeping the iran nuclear deal alive moss also had plenty to criticize. german russian relations have long been fraught that tension was on display during the german foreign minister's visit to moscow last laid

a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier and met his counterpart sergei lovett of their encounter was far from warm given the west's recent accusations that russia is behind the nerve agent attack on a former russian double agent and a cyber attack on the german foreign ministry. i believe that's an open and honest dialogue is the key to a solid partnership we have to be able to figure out if we're still playing by the same rules i think. germany and russia. france both want to salvage the nuclear deal with iran fearing the potential instability the collapse could bring. the agreement is vital for regional stability stopping the spread of mass destruction it's important of the signature is a deal with the situation we're doing exactly that with our german counterparts. neither love nor mass went into detail about what a german russian effort to save the iran nuclear deal might entail.

it is imperative at that iran fully comply with the deals limits and obligations and that it remain on board. we have again discussed what influence the russian government can have as far as iran is concerned it was. kind. of said the two sides have never been in complete agreement but mass added constructive work has been done even if iran is the only issue russia and germany see eye to eye on now for some of the other stories making the news this morning. u.s. president from north korean leader kim jong un will be holding their much anticipated summit on june the twelfth in singapore french president revealed the place and time in a tweet the two leaders will discuss reading the korean peninsula nuclear weapons and normalizing relations between the two longtime enemies. malaysian opposition

the perhaps unintended consequences of u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum you know you could you could say that brian i mean for one of course european trade negotiations a spread of the negotiators are scrambling to work out new trade arrangements with the united states to hike on steel and aluminum export tariffs off to the current temporary extension expires at the end of this month those steel prices for some u.s. cost of most of really jumped by nine percent just in on to supply shut off the terrace and things could get much worse food processes for example say that the price of a standard fifteen ounce nettle count will jump from seventeen cents to twenty one cents under the new as terrorist game of the prize for a small a ten ounce can will. from fourteen cents to seventeen cents and those price tags applied to the twenty four billion cans the u.s. uses annually will create an estimated seven hundred twenty million dollars in additional costs that producers and consumers must pay and american metal can

industry once the tariffs comes up because it believes higher prices will hit lower income families who buy disproportionately more count food. seven hundred million comes for tomatoes peaches and pears that's what the agricultural co-operative pacific coast produces expects to use this year. the price of steel has risen by nine percent since donald trump announced his plans for twenty five percent tariffs on steel imports from china. hands are significant component of our costs and if you look at just the canned component this fiscal year. can that increase and cancel probably be about fourteen to eighteen million dollars to give you a reference or earnings as you're going to be twenty four million so we have a lot to manage next year with this cost increases. this co-operative in california delivers comfrey to the big american supermarket chains which is full steam raise

their prices you baltimore the customer the consumer will see some of this impact it's our job along that supply chain to mitigate that through internal cost initiatives innovation and that's our job i understand that. challenges like this especially when their own plans are challenges you know around one hundred and seventy families what are the co-operative. one of them mr frank muller humanely grace tomatoes. farmers get a double whammy because of our products are going to be subject to tariffs where there were shipping worldwide just on a really amazing job of moving our products worldwide but also we're subject to the inputs we buy that come from other countries were subject to paying higher prices for them so we get it on both ends and that's what's really frustrating. china has retaliated with tariffs on u.s. imports an agricultural products the american public could be the ones footing the bill for trips trade with china. well europe has only just begun to

digest u.s. president on a trump's retreat from the iran deal together with the announcement of new sanctions against iran germ. money in particular tries to keep its cool. in frankfurt because german economics minister peter altmire said today that he doesn't see any reason to change germany's very special export guarantee scheme for iran that sounds confident doesn't he have to worry about that. and no he does not want that we have to remember that hairless this was this this deal that was originally introduced in nine hundred forty nine for cases where firms could find no private insurance has become a pilau of germany's export industry today hermas guarantees exploiters to cover themselves against economic risk and also political risk in the radio interview earlier he stated that there's no reason to change the how he calls

a very valuable terror machine he also pointed out that germany is just starting now a conversation how negative consequences also for jobs in germany could be avoided and let me tell you there is a lot at stake also for european companies arab assigned december two thousand and sixteen deal to supply you run one hundred airplanes worth of nineteen billion u.s. dollars so far it is only delivered three the first new aircraft acquired by iran in twenty three years and of course the u.s. also said that anyone who continues to support iran would also be sanctioned and that could affect german companies doing business in iran how it's been going to protect those companies. oh thing is they can't really do a lot of course they can provide legal assistance that he was also saying that earlier but just today again the u.s. ambassador to germany said in an interview that he does not see a possible sanctions on european companies doing business with iran as

a turn alyson he also made it and very clear and said that every see all who would consider doing business with iran should say openly in public that they would consider doing business with the how he calls it more the regime so there is a lot of pressure for those companies at the moment monica right study group in frankfurt thank you so much for this. wall street's titan j.p. morgan chase has become the latest firm to apply for a controlling stake in a chinese securities venture this comes just a month after beijing put new rules in place to open up the economy previously foreign ownership of local financial companies was not allowed and that hump growth if approved morgan will allow will own fifty one percent of the new venture with u.b.s. and japan's remora have already applied under the new rules which china announced soon after the u.s. president on a trump visited beijing. now to

a very disturbing story the deaths of two women who were crushed in a stampede at a border crossing has brought to light a darker side of morocco's trade relationship with spain and most of moroccans imports come by way of spain some make the thirty kilometer crossing from the spanish port of agassi or us to the spanish enclave of sea uta on america's north and coast now they are then transported through customs into morocco but some importers take advantage of a loophole to avoid paying customs duties namely by having the goods carried literally and its maracas most vulnerable women who pay the price. repays is a struggle hand to hand battle with burdens weighing up to one hundred kilos these moroccan women work as mules moving merchandise across the border from the spanish enclave of seawater into morocco. all this to get fifteen euros per trip the taxi

to the border cost four euro's before we even start how are we supposed to eat. legal commerce across the border between spain and morocco or tax evasion goods carried across the border on foot don't attract import duties depending on what they carry these women earn between ten and twenty five euros a load. i. have. to trade as well organized by wholesalers who make a generous margin. for general medical gain a bit annoyed that the moroccan state gives nothing to women what do you want that they go into prostitution no they come here they transport a packet and then they can feed their children i don't have all that out as you have a mother and her blind daughter it's handicapped women the elderly single mothers or widows morocco's most vulnerable women who do this heavy work for.

a few weeks ago two women were killed in a stampede crushed by the weight of the bundles now spanish authorities have imposed stricter regulations on the trade they've demanded that the women use trolleys many say that this has only made the job harder. but these women count themselves lucky to have been able to get over the spanish authorities only allow four thousand porters per day to cross some will have to sleep rough on the spanish side of the border. some will resort to desperate measures to cross undetected with their cargo. also that a few moroccan businessmen can avoid paying import duties. well from that story now to nature showing its brutal force in kenya market at least forty two people are now reported dead many more missing after

we have some boxing now i'm glad america klitschko dominated that sport for the better part of twenty years twelve of those reigning world heavyweight champion and twenty seventeen e through his last option a pro boxing ring in a loss to me joshua now is where you take on a new opponent doping as he told us at our exclusive interview. but i attack a ways on their recent scandals related to dubbing it's definitely betraying. the philosophy of this world it's about competing against each other and the best after we must win there are no teams that are outside of the ring for just only two gentlemen fight each other with the gesture and the one that uses his gesture better than the other will eliminate his opponent in going to be the winner

so if you use doping and you fight me and i'm not it's basically you're cheating on me is that the state sponsored system a state sponsored activity and the state is interested in. making the f.a. its a use dopping just to show i was sent performance in the sat the absolutely yes there are different sports when you can run faster fine it's bad but alright if you use the opening and you run any win ok you get caught or if you didn't eventually will. but in boxing it's more about eliminating the other person physically so there is a lot of that in boxing history. in certain fights and then if you use the pink and you actually kill the other guy or girl because male and female boxing is is even olympic sport so that that something goes beyond beyond ok or beyond late

or right. and you can get much more on thoughts on cleaning up boxing at our website dot com slash sports well former england captain wayne rooney is set to join a long list of successful european players who finished their careers in the u.s. there are reports that rooney has agreed in principle to join washington based m.l.s. side d.c. united he spent the past season with his boyhood club everton where there's a trend after a late. night it became england's all time leading scorer before retiring from international football in twenty seventeen. this is. brian thomas for the entire news team thanks so much for being with us.
