on the front. twenty four he watching live from paris to france twenty four the headlines this hour. us president donald trump dials down the restaurant with iran and suggests a loose and stupid office -- may be responsible for the shooting down of a us strid. tehran insists the aircraft was

in its s. spaces says it will take its case to the united nations. instead he former top generals among dozens sentenced to life in prison for their role in the failed two of twenty sixteen most of the individuals with. all the offices. and china's presidency jim paying meets north korean leader kim jong lin during the first chinese state visit to pyongyang in fourteen years. economy. and north ways you can program on the agenda. we begin with another incident between iran and the united states iran's revolutionary guards shot down a u. s. surveillance drone on thursday in the first direct confrontation between iran and the american minute tree since the u. s. pulled out of the international nuclear cold.

tehran insists the joint was in its s. space and says it will take its case to the united nations but the us as the droid was in international airspace. donald trump says he believes the iranians made a mistake. i made a big mistake -- this drone was in international waters clearly we have it all documented it's documented scientifically not just words. and they made a very bad mistake [inaudible] okay. we'll find out. well as a team as a site in tehran he told us more about how iran and the united states have a very different vision of what happens. oftentimes analysts at a very difficult time deciphering -- some of mr trump's statements which often times seem to be contradictory to members of his administration in this case for example secretary of state -- mike pompeii -- and mister bolton these national security adviser who widely seen as the

ron hawks widely seen is pushing for war. this incident today the shooting down of a u. s. work thrown by the revolutionary guard when you're in the wrong. could it be seen as a step towards an open conflict but mr trump statement seemingly is downplaying this incident. saying that it was -- a mistake- hey you know what is it mean moving forward -- we're not sure but this is the second time in the last week where he's downplayed seemingly that in an incident -- here in the region your call a few days ago it was the oil tankers there were attacks. the us said it was p. ron mr trump say he was a minor. incident so we'll see where this goes but significant development estrone being shot down it wasn't a weapon i strolled it wasn't attacked drone. it was a surveillance rolled again and he was saying he was international waters you are saying is that it was defending itself because it it it crouched

into its territory. and reserve what about iran's part in all of this then what is tehran hoping to gain from. its part in ramping up the tensions at namely shooting down this drone and also the threats to increase uranium enrichment which it says it will do. by the end of the month at breaching the limit set by the twenty fifteen you can record. yeah important to point out that it's washington's narrative you ron is ramping pressure with incidents like this iran's position is very different -- they say they're defending themselves they say. that their territory the borders are red line this is what the head of the revolutionary guard said today no you simply say. that they were defending themselves -- when he shot down that that the us drone -- head of the revolutionary guard today also made a statement saying that you want us prepared for war but more importantly he said iran does not want war so here's a case where mr trump. in washington seemingly trying

to de escalate matters and you have the head of the revolutionary guard saying you want doesn't want war. even so you continue to see these types of incidents. including statements by you ron that they're going to ramp up uranium enrichment in june twenty seventh. which raises a lot of questions. sure after the uncertainty of what can happen in the coming days and weeks. as a side that. now in tacky one hundred and fifty one people have been sentenced to life in prison over the failed bid to overthrow president -- do want the most is a sentence before with top generals in the army and airforce. it was the biggest trial of suspects detained in the office most of the twenty sixteen k. from honest guys to anchor and a correspondent just for most men. just been tell us a bit more about the sentences and the ramifications. yes what a break down of the sentences is on a hundred and twenty eight our cues -- was sentenced to multiple life

sentences. twenty three was sentenced to a normal life sentence another. three to twenty years in prison and then a twenty full gobs of bearing sentences up to fifteen years in prison. thirty three were acquitted. i'm thirteen who were being tried in absentia -- including also to look good their legs -- motivate tell off the crew leader also colonists movement. he was number one accuse their trial will be continued isolated date the key accused who was sentenced today to multiple life imprisonment. was general i can cause took and he was the airforce come on to the leads to monstro culture of the coop -- directing operations from an air base north of our

north of anchorage. as to the ramifications well -- the government declared a state of emergency days off to the coup attempt and it's fine a hundred and forty thousand civil servants. and these people were dismissed as alleged -- supporter. but that is not on some sitcom have a hundred and forty thousand people involved in a coup -- the government use this some sort of close to her. i had to get rid of its political enemy for instance are two of the civil servants who teaches -- and they don't stop hunger strike. and they used to go to a pedestrian mall here in ankara just sit there the whole day long until the government ship them out it turned out of one of the teachers -- was an old leftist yeah you would never have found a leftist giving a jumping into bed for the golan heights. and appeal process was set up --

for the civil servants to appeal against speed. five very few of the got their jobs back. many of the people five why academics they wanted to go abroad and teach should universities that out but they couldn't because the government impounded that paul schools. so this post who. has become an open wound in turkish society but continues to believe. just what we have to live with that thank you very much just for most of their neck. now china's president has been treated to a red carpet welcome in north korea cg paying is the first chinese leader to visit the reclusive state in fourteen years. when i king? to two large crowds of north koreans welcomed the chinese president as he touched down in

pyongyang. marking the first official visit from a chinese leader in fourteen years. she didn't bring and north korean leader kim jong and rode in the parade for the streets of the capital before sitting down to official talks. according to chinese state media she told kim's off the friendship between china and north korea will not be shaken by changes in the international situation china wants to play a constructive role in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. during this visit china striking a tricky balance between expectations from the us to put pressure on came over denuclearize ation. and is traditionally close ties with north korea which had deteriorated in recent years of of john yanks nuclear provocations. and regions backing of u. n. sanctions. kim jong un has boarded his famous armored train to visit cheating paying four times in the past year but analysts say a reciprocal visit has been held

off while she awaited the outcome of kim's nuclear talks us president trump. negotiations that collapsed in february. it also comes after beijing's own trade negotiations with washington has a wall last month she may be hoping to come away with some leverage with when he meets the us president and next week's g. twenty summit in japa. south korea media reports china's offering some one hundred tons of food aid as a jester to shore up relations. double the amount offered by soul in moscow this week north korea is in the grip of severe shortages due to its worst drought in decades. to being compounded by crippling u. s. led sanctions. well for one i'm joined by katherine joins from the school of international relations at some tangerines university in the united kingdom thanks for being with us. at first of all how strong can we say the relationship is between old allies north korea and china given of course that beijing has. backed international sanctions against the regime in recent years.

well i think for a long time it's been a very strained relationship especially since kim jong when we came to power and we had a problem in this relationship in china hasn't had a lot of direct information. about what's going on within the regime. house all of the old times they used to have absolutely invited- to a lot of time. i think it's important. to recognize that china's imposition of sanctions all necessarily trying to cheat exactly the same sequence of events that are the state parties might be trying to achieve. so john was always promoted and see you stability about everything else on the korean peninsula. and seven time is use of sanctions. i think the the history tells us it's more about signaling to pyongyang what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. roz's unnecessarily coalescing or specific because constrainin.

i'm detailed kids crossing the border so trying not so fundamental difference right all the other states say china is not so interested in restraining north korea's nuclear program because if you look at a recent report by the stockholm international peace research institute it says pyongyang. has between twenty and thirty nuclear weapons right now that is up. from ten to twenty in twenty eighteen that's very worrying isn't. it is i'm not saying that china doesn't. china would be comfortable with and the fan was great it certainly isn't. but what i'm saying is that its top priority is to make sure that we have a stable relationship on in the korean peninsula. only through a stable relationship will that would be potentially possible to encourage north korea to see need clearance. i'm saying that's what i mean by saying as a different sequence to how china potentially sees this playing out. rather than putting increasing pressure on to achieve the initial objective of denuclearization.

so china is more interested in peace between north and south korea. is interested in making sure that we don't have a significant conflict on the peninsula it's making sure that we don't have aggressive. unexpected on certain events unfolding on the peninsula all right. speaking to do you know why amazing marking my to economic development. similar to a cotton that's trying to proceed. three reform and opening up. okay china has its own problems right now -- namely the trade tariffs imposed by president trump -- especially on a set of comes from wall way how do you think the ad chinese president xi jinping will use. his relationship with the north koreans to try to get some leverage with from what he sees in the g. [inaudible] twenty well. i do think is unrelated to this

event happened just before the g. twenty but i think it's very easy to buy in the state. the significance of this meeting taking place north korea has been a notoriously difference neighbor for china to you try and engage ways for you to launch so i don't think that's necessarily paul if. china strategic down but before the g. twenty it might prove to be useful but i think it's the i. roaming objective right now. catherine johnson is an entry thank you very much thank you. now there are two candidates left in the running to replace theresa may as british prime minister the former foreign secretary boris johnson and the current. current foreign six street jeremy hunts have made it to the final after the environment sixty michael guide was knocked out of the race. one hundred and sixty thousand conservative party members will now have the final say on who needs the posse and the country. benedict have airport from london. we now have the two finalists is taken i just over a week boris johnson one hundred and sixty

that commanding lead to the ex foreign secretary ex mayor of london continues to have -- jeremy hunt who is now the all the finest the challenger the current foreign secretary. let's remember he was remain it was thought that maybe what the conservative party wanted or certainly the three hundred inside him he's with two breaks a deist -- but he has very much said that -- he is the mind he has the most experience in government -- that he will give it everything he's got if you well and he has been -- name to be appointed to be the challenger and michael goes the man who actually was the campaign manager. all boris johnson three years ago you remember before the e. u. referendum and then suddenly. two hours before the deadline announced that he couldn't support boris johnson as name to go for it -- to be party leader and replace trees in may -- indeed prime minister -- but that he actually really thought that he was too disorganized he was not prime minister material

and when he said that if he had been in that race then that would be too much blue on blue action. themselves against conservative so now we've got one hundred and sixty thousand party members who will vote i gather they will ge- that postal ballots around the fourth of july. we know that the results will be announced -- over the next read and prime minister in the week beginning the twenty second of july meanwhile i think twelve or sixteen hustings around the country the first to begin in birmingham -- i think it is tomorrow and it will be very interesting to see in the media debates that they do do. mr hunt on mister johnson about what comes out of that and ultimately what the party members choose what are the mister hunt or mister jones. who has had this consistently commanding lead to be the next? either -- and next prime

minister of the united kingdom. that is a five year that will question is suspending arms sales to saudi arabia after court ruled the government broke the little by failing to establish whether the saudi led coalition. and violated human rights in yemen tens of thousands of being killed and millions displaced in the conflict between saudi arabia and iranian they tasted rebels in yemen. amnesty international called today's ruling red good news for the yemen government nice is it will appeal the decision. as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment i will seek permission to appeal. hello sign this will carefully considering the implications of the judgment for decision makin. while we do this we will not run any new licenses for export to saudi arabia and this coalition partners which might be used in the conflict in yemen. now they escapes cobol and found refuge in france after a long journey across europe shayanna and alley our afghan refugees and restaurant owners. it's no coincidence that that president restaurant opened its doors on the eve of world refugee day with couple kitchen

right let's get to business use we now can we do is with us in this you have a cable right. now i don't know trump has been talking about iran tonight's -- and somewhat to all good looking canadian prime minister was sitting right next to him because he was there to talk trade no this isn't yeah those two leaders are meeting in the oval office really to discuss the next step. in that u. s. mexico canada trade deal with mexico ratified overnight. the agreement is set to replace nafta but it still needs to be approved by canadian and american lawmakers. process has been complicated by political issues like immigration and the now listed tariffs on steel and aluminum exports. of judo and trump seemed optimistic that final approval was near brings us into a position -- we're moving forward on the ratification process the line with you -- obviously today as well on top of the great new- in the canadian and american economies -- we're continuing to work on on a broad range of of global issues and it's the largest trade deal by far. never entered into you know we're not competing with each

other so much just brings us into a position where we're not competing. with each other we're competing against the world. meanwhile a little letter from apple to the us trade representative's office has been made public. it it the tech giant says that the threatened expansion of us tariffs on chinese exports would impact apple's products. and result in a reduction of apples us economic contribution as well as white [inaudible] competitiveness. continues to say we urge you not to proceed with these tariffs. for negotiators from washington and beijing begun preliminary talks had a meeting between donald trump and shooting paying at next week's g. twenty summit. paris air show is preparing to open its doors to the public on friday it is the business side wraps up many factors are counting up their new deals on color reports. the sun sets on the fourth day at the paris air show all eyes are on the order books. boeing came to the show in damage control mode.

comes to a tender for these -- a large number of planes and quite cool -- we would have the ability to be in that situation imitator. the european powerhouse was boosted by two hundred and twenty six orders and commitments for its newly launched eight three two one xlr model. bringing it to a total of three hundred and sixty three firm orders in paris. despite the slower pace of sales both airbus and boeing are cushioned by thousands of backlogged orders. let's check in on today's trading action other major european indices closed higher about a third of a percentage point each their shares of the german lender deutsche bank we're down about two point 6%. reports that the fbi is looking into possible involvement in money laundering wall street is trending higher the s. and p. five hundred has hit a new record high. the as you can see it's up abou. three quarters of a percentage point there dow jones rising eight tenths of a percent with less than an hour of trade to g.
