go before the departure deadline shipping containers were loaded up while signs were stripped from the building. the departure follows the closure of china's consulate in houston texas last week and made allegations of espionage and intellectual property theft. the tit for tat diplomatic route marks an escalation in the tensions between the 2 superpowers over a range of issues including trade and the coronavirus. let's get the very latest now. standing by horace in chain do good day to day is how's this closure being received by the people where you are. consulate that's just behind me you can see this this gray area there that's where the sign consulate of the united states of america was and workers are just

a downward spiral for the last few months already and this is of course another low point in the closure of the euston consulate came quite as a surprise to the chinese side and to also observers and this retaliation measure of course is what the chinese side had announced it is quite reciprocal the. consulate in dual has about the same meaning for the u.s. as the consulate and used for china it is also a political message because this consulate was covering bet and other minority regions as part of their consulate district and this of course is an intended message i think until the elections in the u.s. we are either going to see a further deterioration or some kind of a stable bad relationship there are lots of issues the south china sea where china

is expanding its operations and taiwan and as the conflict with neighboring countries like india. and all this is it is making the situation extremely difficult and in some points also dangerous there certainly are a number of flashpoints out there between the 2 countries right now it is barreling in chengdu thanks very much. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news out this hour flooding in china has again caused extensive damage in central province floodwaters submerging roads washed away vehicles in southwestern chunk weighing heavy rains caused multiple landslides. small as parliament has ousted prime minister has on ali harare in a no confidence vote an internet blackout followed that decision legislators accuse him of failing to move the country towards democratic elections the uses removal

of germany last week for example we saw a report showing that manufacturing and service sector activity in germany return to growth for the 1st time in 5 months so business is picking back up but there are still of course a lot of uncertainties the growth is still contracting right now businesses are still having to deal with potential 2nd wave of infections there's a lot of fear around. and many businesses are still having to shed jobs so things are improving but german business is certainly not in the clear yet some of the real ones are. going in security used in the travel sector is under real pressure to. it certainly isn't a lot of this is coming after the u.k. announced that it was going to reimpose quarantine measures on people coming back from spain so that's really hitting a lot of the airlines quite hard easy jet for example is down almost 13 percent on

egypt ethiopia and sudan have agreed to resume talks on this controversial hydro electric dam that ethiopia's filling on the river nile negotiations over the ground renaissance them have been going on for about a decade but ethiopia is not waiting for them to and before filling the dam wise are so difficult to settle this dispute over the waters of the nile. river him explains. this is the ethiopian ground renee sounds damn good for short. erected on the river nile does mean tributary the blue nile it took almost a decade to build and cement to be part of ethiopia's transformation. roughly 65 percent of the country is not connected to the power grid energy from the dam could more than double ethiopia's current output fulfilling its needs and making it

an exporter. but the dems also highly controversial due to its location. denial its main source the blue nile starts in ethiopia tundra the river flows toward sudan and joins the rivers other tributary that's a dense capital hard to him before heading downstream to egypt is being built here on the border with sudan near the blue nile source the demo catch water in its massive reservoir to surface area is larger than that of greater london. this will inevitably have an effect on how much water flows to downstream countries egypt and sudan. egypt is home to almost 100000000 people who depend on the nile for 90 percent of their fresh water supply some fear that ethiopia will leave too much water in its reservoirs during periods of drought in

danger and the flow downstream. that could leave egypt's farmers unable to irrigate their lands causing major food losses. and all this as the effects of a workman clime meant have already strained egyptian agriculture. the effects for sudan seem mixed one fear here is that the gerd could jeopardize the operations of sudan's own dams on the nile however sadat also sees an opportunity to get cheap energy from ethiopia thanks to gird and it could regulate water flows that are sometimes classed flooding these competing interests are among the reasons why negotiations over the dems operations have been difficult. no comprehensive final deal has been reached but even with an agreement cooperation between egypt and sudan will be needed for the years to come. there are more projects planned along the nile and the effects of climate change and growing

populations mean water could be an increasingly scarce resource. as bringing in i have removed files that force she's been reporting from this area for a while now for the mornings you are running negotiations are proving very difficult they were they stand right now there's a lot of competing interests i mean these negotiations have been going on for a decade the good news is they're on the negotiating table again that's as far as the good news go there are now fundamental disagreements about whether or not this agreement would be a legally binding agreement ethiopia doesn't want a legally binding agreement egypt and sudan have made it very clear that this they will not negotiate about to binding this of this dam and you know this is been soured by distrust these negotiations and it's you know the fact that if you know pia has already successfully according to the prime minister completed the 1st phase of the filling of the dam. and we've been seeing the satellite here this is

not just confirmation from the prime minister's actually exactly and they had to confirm this after the satellite images were published so you can imagine and that at 1st there was a there was a confusion that this happened because of the rain that this happened because the reservoir doors were closed which created a lot of distrust in an already extremely distrustful negotiation around we've been reporting consistently all the negotiations because this is so important for egypt for ethiopia for sudan for every one of the millions of people what is a competing economic interest china is involved heavily in the financing of the dam i mean this dam is about economy but it's also about history it's about identity and it's also about who gets to set the rules right i mean you're really putting your hand you're controlling a source of water for 100000000 people. egypt and the entire population of sudan i tend to think that the reason why these negotiations have been difficult is that you have 2 parties egypt and sudan who don't really recognize the other parties right to the water right egypt has claimed the nile for thousands and thousands and

thousands of years and you know it still is very attached to colonial agreements that give it the lion's share of the nile's water as well as today if you'll be on the other hand sees this as a massive historical injustice 86 percent of the water comes from their land and i think these 2 kind of you know you're dealing with 2 alternative completely starkly different versions of reality i think and i think that's what if anything is difficult the emissions to be dominated by by egypt you know when you think nile you think egypt of course. there's some real fears about all these 3 countries but actually egypt and these you hope you're going to do war over this is not a possibility i mean it's a possibility because neither country is actually completely ruled out the possibility of arc armed conflict but i will say that it is a unlikely possibility it's seen as a last resort by egypt and ethiopia but you know egypt has made it very clear that the issue of the nile is an issue of existence it has taken it as

far as the security council which completely rejected and did not want to said this this president but you know egypt is also currently finding itself at a crossroads because there's potential for military conflict with libya so for now it's unlikely but neither leadership of the 2 countries has ruled it out completely ok thanks so much for your reporting and for coming in today. baseball now baseball fans in south korea have finally been allowed back into the stadiums there almost 3 months after the season began but it's not quite back to normal because they have to be socially dances and that means that one stadium in the capital seoul only allowed in about 10 percent of the fans that would usually be there. back in the stadium but not nearly back to normal rather than just waltzing through the turnstiles fans were treated to temperature checks and thermal

detectors and not even the cheerleaders were exempt from the compulsory musk's. but it couldn't dampen the excitement of the lucky few who gets knocked up the 2400 tickets. was with 2 of the 5 games being played behind closed doors because they were held in areas with stricter distancing guidelines the fans of the dusun bears and l.g. twins here in seoul were counting their blessings not everyone was entirely happy. committed to the right it's sad that we can't enjoy beer and fried chicken but that's understandable. and we just hope they'll wrap up the season safely. despite a win for the twins the bears players were appreciative that the fans were finally but. the fans who came here to sit apart from each other.
