definitely donald trump doubling down on his world view that the u.s. is getting a bad end of the deal and that is predecessor president negotiated unfair trade agreements now we just heard trump essential he's suggesting that some of its closest allies and partners are robbing the united states he used the words that there is a piggy bank that everyone is robbing that would be the united states and look at these steel and aluminum tariffs that went into effect at the end of last month have been front and center throughout the g seven summits trading partners in this group to see it as unfair trading practices canada even calls it a legal and it seems clear that they are going to go ahead and impose retaliatory measures because they see that as the only way to ensure that the world continues to operate in a rule based international order that they feel that donald trump and the united states have been threatening. or a trump also talked about the scheduled summit with north korea's kim jong un singapore let's listen to a little bit about what he had to say. and he would have the opportunity again it's

never going to be there again so i really believe that he's going to do something very positive for his people for himself his family. he's got an opportunity the likes of which i think almost if you look into history very few people have ever had he can take that nation with those great people and truly make it great so it's a one time it's a one time shot and i think it's going to work. certainly expecting a breakthrough in singapore is that optimism shared by the other g seven leaders. that's certainly what the world is waiting to see trump sounds optimistic but he is also in some ways snubbing partners here at the g. seven summit by leaving almost an entire day early he's on his way to singapore for this historic meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un but in doing so he's
8:05 pm
essentially signaling to the leaders of the countries here that his priorities really lie with meeting with the north korean dictator rather than trying to bridge differences and hash out agreements with some of the united states' closest partners where it's clear thanks so much for joining us from quebec. we can move on now to some other stories making news around the world authorities in iraqi kurdistan say a failed asylum seeker known as ali he has confessed to killing a fourteen year old girl in germany it's not clear if you will be extradited a kurdish police officer said he could be tried in iraq the case has put chancellor angela merkel under new pressure over her migration policy. here in berlin around a thousand people have taken part in an anti israel march marking so-called could stay the event was initiated by iran several decades ago to demonstrate support for

8:09 pm
a popular approach among its follows. right from the start and we have shown determination in the face of these developments. we have high principles and we will lose ground if we stick to those principles of. criticism of islam has always been part of the freedom party is recipe for success as this man its interior minister recently found a hardline can help to fend off political attacks and it's useful to divert attention from other problems the government is having at the moment i mean. the turkish government of course but the freedom party as well as its coalition partner knows it can cross it from this populism. the turkish government was indeed good but with the presidential election just two weeks away the president. may well be calculating that equally angry turks living in austria will cast their votes for him thus both governments and that bolstering their support even if
