osaka is the center of the political atlas the leaders of the world's 20 largest economies flying in for what promises to be a stressful program. small talk is sure to be drowned out by u.s. president donald trump's heavy footsteps as he continues his campaign of america 1st. the trade war he started with china will dominate discussions though few expect talks between trump and chinese president xi jinping on saturday to result in a truce few trade relations between china and the u.s. . difficult the. contributing to just load of the global economy could trump administration has also ramped up pressure on iran withdrawing from the nuclear deal was just the beginning new sanctions and threats

of war followed all of that has the attention of those here. maintaining. it's in the region. of security interest. you commit to it so that you as long as you continues to uphold it. outside the confines of the heavily guarded summit site. citizens are urging action on climate change activists went out not only on osaka streets but also on hong kong's where protesters called for support from g 20 leaders for their pro-democracy movement. beijing has already forbid in other countries from discussing the hong kong unrest at the summit. german chancellor angela merkel arrived in good spirits and osaka this after a 2nd bout of unexplained trembling in front of cameras led to speculation about her health. her good cheer will have to endure she's due in brussels on sunday to

negotiate a new leadership for the e.u. . our correspondent max huff is covering the g 247 and joins us now from osaka max the g 20 is huge in itself but it allows world leaders to hold important bilateral meetings u.s. president trump for example is just met russian president vladimir putin what can you tell us about that meeting. you know terry some think that the bilateral meetings are in fact the most important part of the g. 20 ever since presidents like donald trump have said that they're not interested in a multilateral system in the world now back to that bilateral meeting between trump and putin the official readout of the meeting doesn't give us much i just said that they talked about a number of topics including for example iran and that they both agreed that a good relationship between the u.s. and russia was important for the whole world maybe the interesting bit in that

official release for the press was that they did talk about disarmament strategy for the 21st century but not giving any details actually the meat and potatoes of this whole meeting came before the meeting when donald trump was asked by. the american press whether he would ask your putin to not meddle in the 2020 us elections you remember something that many say happened in the 2016 elections when trump got elected and so what trump did is in that very moment he turned around to blood in your putin and told him don't meddle in the us elections as was probably an attempt at humor trying to defuse the situation but the topic of course persists max there's a lot to talk about for the leaders gathered there in osaka what topics do you think will take central stage at this summit. the most difficult topics at the moment are the fight against climate change and also how to advance

trade in the world there are really 2 schools of thinking opposed against each other the 1st one is i mention it promoting the multilateral system with institutions like the world trade organization opposed to what donald trump wants he wants bilateral trade agreements and the 2nd one climate change of course is difficult when you have some world leaders who say it's not manmade and so on surprisingly those 2 topics are the most difficult when it comes to reaching an agreement for the final declaration that all parties need to sign off on when it comes to world trade in general though one relationship is particularly important that between the 2 biggest economies in the world that's china and the united states and as you know they've been in conflict for quite some time some say they're very close to a full fledged trade war and that's why many say the most important meeting here will be on saturday between chinese president xi jinping in an american president

donald trump that's right back to me the e.u. is also saying that the trade dispute between china and the u.s. is dragging down the world economy can we expect any progress in resolving that dispute at this g. 20. yeah interesting that you mention the european union terry because the e.u. has a quite opposing position there are they are more and more emerging as the champions of the multilateral trade system and that's what joe includes the president of the e.u. commission also stressed during his press conference this morning here in osaka pointing out the different trade agreements that the e.u. has struck so far under his guidance and he's. by the way very close to striking another one with latin american countries it's called. so they're really trying to show trump your strategy is not working and on china us very hard to say trump has been a little more conciliatory we've been hearing that the americans are ready to strike a truce here but in the past it was really hard to count on anything that came out

of the u.s. administration in this regard remember one is iris that was the last 20 meeting where things were looking rather good look like china the u.s. would be able to sort things out but what happened afterwards was quite the opposite it was the ground max thank you so much to max hoffman there in osaka. and we apologize for some of the poor video quality with our connection there to japan now u.s. presidential hopefuls have clashed over the past and the future at the 2nd democratic party debate in miami florida they're vying for the chance to take on donald trump in 2020 former vice president joe biden was looking to cement his position as frontrunner in a crowded field but it was another candidate california senator camilla harris who put him on the defensive last night fame stage fame for much the same jam packed

gathering of 10 democratic candidates in the miami forming odds right behind me but this time men are at the folk with all the attention from a vice president joe biden. and vermont senator bernie sanders who are running 1st and 2nd in most polls. but the fate of the many watch parties in miami began it quickly became clear that it was neither biden nor sanders who grabbed the spotlight it was set out to a come along harris who took command of the stage she criticized biden this recent remarks about working with segregationist and it's personal and i was actually very it was hurtful. to hear you talk about the reputations of 2 united states senators who built their reputations and career on the 2nd of the greatest in this country. mr archer my

position across the board i do not praise racist it is not true or number 2 if we want to have this campaign living for civil rights whether i did or not i'm happy to do that i was a public it was the most dramatic moment i'm going to be repeatedly came he did and what you should several attacks and by the former vice president however and he spoke. from the audience his daddy. i mean they come out harris is very strong so far and so i speak and there i think they're right in there definitely were actually compare biden it's actually very competitive of the candidates are all making their points really well i think that joe biden represents the largest portion of america and i think that joe biden can get someone that is considerably more liberal than he is as a vice president i think that what americans are willing to vote for and what a 1000000 americans would like to be represented by someone that stands in the

middle. by the supporters. he remains the best hope for the democrats donald trump out of the white house whoever will get the chance to challenge the president in the end the debate here in miami was only the beginning long and stop . and our correspondent alexander phenomena has been covering the debates joins us now from miami alexander going into this debate many thought it would come down to a clash between the 2 biggest names joe biden and bernie sanders but that's not how it turned out is it. yes that's right terry i found it quite interesting to see how the top the 2 top contenders were flexing their rhetorical muscles taking aim at each other at the beginning of the debate and then

come along harriet the senator from california jumped in and she was so patient and she was so determined and she made clear that she came to participate in this debate to win it and i've been to some of her events to her companion kickoff rally in oakland a few months ago so i was aware that she is a good performer but to many people i talked to at watch party we went to this night were very impressed by her by her personal story about growing up as a woman of color in the united states so a lot of rhetorical muscle on show there are the pictures we just saw there that's what americans were watching last night on n.b.c. what were the main issues in this debate alexander. the candidates talked about the many issues that are important not only to the

supporter of the democratic party but also to the working class americans to students to young people they talk about the economy they talk about whether it is necessary to increase taxes on rich people whether it is it makes sense to break big companies they talk about gun control they talk about climate change to talk about health care of course a huge topic here in the you asked and it was very clear that state do not agree on details on polisi details that there is a very clear distinction between the progressive wing of the car of the party and more moderate and centrist candidates well this was the 2nd of 2 debates involving 20 democratic hopefuls alexander have these events done anything to narrow the field. i will say that it's too early to

talk about all that but what we saw in the last 2 nights here in miami reflected pretty much how the candidates have been polling lately so we have the 4 top contenders joe biden elizabeth warren the sender's and kaamelott harris and there is there are some candidates there they are struggling and there are comparing struggling to garner attention and raise money but i would say it's too early to say that you know it doesn't make for them make any sense for them to continue their companions they don't use of each other phenomena there in miami thank you so much. now let's check on some other stories making news today 2 people have been evacuated from the sea watch humanitarian ship for medical reasons the boat entered italian waters in defiance of a ban from rome 2 days ago italy is continuing to refuse it permission to dock the

after half time bronze caps an outstanding performance with a goal that brought the coach and superstar fans alike to their feet a rocket to make it 3 nil and getting liniments and going into the semifinals. well england will play either host team france or the united states in the semifinals those 2 teams play in front of a full house tonight in paris and tickets are going for big money on secondary markets co-captain megan rypien no will likely play a key role for the u.s. team and she's already become a focal point thanks to comments made earlier this year a war of words has disturbed the u.s.a.'s quarter final preparations comments meghan rypien ohad made at a photo shoot back in january resurfaced this week. he's going to. now not by the white house we're not going to be invited not to be invited i doubt

it u.s. president donald trump took offense to these comments responding with a series of tweets he claimed to be quote a big fan of the american team and women saka but meghan should win 1st before she talks finish the job he then said quote we haven't yet invited meghan or the team but i am now inviting the team win or lose meghan should never disrespect our country the white house or flag especially since so much has been done for her and the team. but meghan repeat no is thick skinned and has stood her ground at thursday's press conference she made only a small concession when it came to her previous remarks. i stand by the comments that i made about not wanting to go to the white house with the exception of the ex but if my mom would be very upset about that i don't think that i would want to go and i would encourage my teammates to think hard about lending that platform or having that co-opted by an administration that doesn't feel the same way doesn't

fight for the same things that that we fight for the team's quarterfinal match with france will be decided by the tightest of margins rypien or says if anything this incident will make them stronger. streamliner the top stories we're following for you here today on d w news the g. 20 summit of world leaders has got underway in osaka japan the e.u. has criticized trade tensions between the u.s. and china saying they're hobbling the global economy. u.s. presidential hopefuls have clashed in miami florida at the 2nd democratic party debate california senator kyl a harris put front runner joe biden on the defensive over his race over his record on race issues in the u.s. . but the remains of a collapsed bridge in the italian city of general are due to be demolished shortly the bridge gave way almost a year ago killing 43 people sorties have evacuated thousands of head of the
