the united nations security council is meeting to discuss the situation in syria where fighting is continuing to spite the international community having called for a cease fire on us plus live from. new york. has more details kind of what do we know so far about this while an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council has been called by two permanent members france and the u.k. and they will be discussing the fact that france is arguing that the recent resolution regarding a cease fire hasn't been implemented now it's important to note that that recent resolution that was voted regarding a cease fire was a unanimous vote but that it did not give a specific timeframe for this ceasefire to be implemented it simply called for it to be implemented without delay did not give a timeframe furthermore the ceasefire did not did not specifically call for an end
4:31 pm
to terror operations it was a plea a cease fire in fighting with rebel groups now this is all in regards to eastern ghouta is an enclave near the syrian capital of damascus and it's being held by rebels and terrorists who want to overthrow the syrian government and at this point fighting is going on and the syrian government says they are fighting in eastern guta because they are protecting the densely populated area of the syrian capital and that many civilians are there and they're being shelled by attacks based out of eastern they're trying to retake the city from the terrorists in the extremis this is the syrian ambassador to the united nations explaining what's going on. what you go home and i stress that our government will reserve the right to respond as the deems appropriate in quays those terrorist groups are targeting civilians in any part of syria. now at this
4:32 pm
point it's pretty clear in the resolution that the language of the resolution and the thirty day cease fire does not apply to fight against i still fighting against al qaeda al nasra and those groups clearly are operating in the rebel held enclave of eastern ghouta now furthermore we've also heard that turkey as they continue their operations against kurdish forces in northern syria that they are continuing to say that this is also a fight against terrorism and that justifies their operations but we have also heard some hopeful news at this point humanitarian aid has reached civilians in eastern guta the u.n. humanitarian organizations as well as the red cross and red crescent have actually delivered some supplies however we have seen that there are many civilians in eastern guta who have been unable to leave they've been unable to evacuate the city due to the fact that the militants are blocking the humanitarian corridor or these
4:33 pm
rebels and terrorists want to keep them in the city to use them essentially as human shields and to kind of hold them hostage now we have heard some reports that there was a convoy of seventeen civilians that recently were able to get out of eastern ghouta and russia and syria and the syrian government have been maintaining a five hour humanitarian pause in the fighting in the hope that civilians can flee the area and not get caught up in the conflict however in light of the fighting in the area and the syrian government's efforts to retake the city from the terrorists and extremists at this point there have been a lot of accusations flying a lot of statements are being made about the syrian government and so all eyes are on the u.n. security council now this meeting is set to take. place the fifteen member body leads the u.n. will be assembling francis saying that the resolution has not been implemented so people are waiting to see what will take place and what will happen as the security council meets to discuss the conflict in syria and more specifically the situation
4:34 pm
in eastern guta yeah ok a lot to taken and we do have to wait and see what happens up meeting kind of both in the reporting from new york. the former russian policeman labelled the siberian has been jailed for life for a series of grisly murders which have shocked the nation the fifty two year old has been described as a model employee and a perfect husband but had been living a sinister double life for almost two decades.

under-performing the stock market oh my god blackstone one of the charts up until you have brought amongst yourselves i suggest you short yourselves a pile of money into you eviscerate your own corporate balance sheet and then blow your brains out on live t.v. they give us all of the fun experience for the financial predatory class. welcome back to the program the world looks to be varying rapidly towards a trade war indications from the white house that the u.s. will soon increase tyrus on steel and alan minium imports have already provoked a backlash including threats of countermeasures from key trading partners but the
4:38 pm
trump administration isn't backing down and we're behind on every single country trade wars aren't so bad. you understand what i mean when we're down by thirty billion forty billion sixty billion one hundred billion the trade war hurts them doesn't hurt the truth squad the opposite. trade rules are blurred and easy to lose it will hurt the european union it will put thousands of european jobs in jeopardy and it has to be met by a firm and proportionate response the proposed twenty five percent tax increase on steel imports and ten percent on our limited him has also provoked an outcry from many industry leaders in the us a whole range of businesses that require the metals from manufacturing will face higher costs and potentially have to cut jobs the e.u. has said that it will retaliate with tariff hikes on american goods such as jeans motorbikes bulb and whiskey peanut butter and orange juice tribe and then in turn
4:39 pm
hit back he tweeted to say that it should be introduced countermeasures he will increase tariffs on imports of european cars the blocks officials say that would cost america thousands of jobs and amid a chorus of criticism of washington's protectionist policies the president's own chief economic adviser has resigned stating his opposition to the initiative. while a lot to take in but for more insight let's cross live to edward stringin president of the american institute for economic research thanks for coming on to the program edwards more controversy as we're seeing now. do you believe these tariffs will have the impact on expects. to be interested here falls because the figures seem quite big twenty five percent increase on steel imports yeah that's an element . i mean besides being anti-american being
4:40 pm
against american interest terrorists being bad for american consumers terrorists being bad for american corporations i would say tariffs are the best thing ever they're going to solve all of our world's problems right now it's just a disaster i can't believe we're even having this debate adam smith was really right when he wrote that we should have trade with all trade is mutually beneficial and two hundred something years later we're turning the clock back and somehow we're going to be producing everything ourselves just doesn't make any sense from an economic point of view. i mean what was going to be the repercussions if the u.s. goes ahead with imposing import tyrus will this mean a squeeze on wages and jobs. and those money factories who who are fellow yeah it's going to be bad for american corporations we're going to have to have higher prices
4:41 pm
for manufacturing things in the united states it's going to be terrible for american corporations that's going to be bad for american consumers and then if you look at it around the world why do we want to be upsetting our trading partners and it's not going to be good for corporations around the world is not going to be good for american companies that want to sell abroad if there's now a trade war why is that good for european consumers when they can't buy american products why is that good for american producers if they can't sell american products so it's just really all around the idea that we're openly talking about a war a trade war being good it's just going to be very counterproductive something that all economists pretty much all agree on this is not a good idea what wall is donald trump thinking that i mean he's a well known businessman and you just mentioned the negatives obviously on
4:42 pm
employment manufacturers exports is so so it's not beneficial to america how can how can he even thinking about this policy. i think it's the old outdated economic idea called mercantile lism i think he's been good on lowering regulations and taxes that's great but the idea that he's going to be restricting american corporations who they can buy from restricting american core consumers so they can buy from this is just not good business it's this old style nationalism what they're going to somehow. decrease imports but you know the bottom line is imports are great imports mean all countries are sending goods to american manufacturers or goods to american consumers in terms of whether that's ford buying steel or caterpillar buying steel
4:43 pm
boeing buying steel or miller coors buying aluminum these are just good all around and he's got this kind of crazy mindset we're just going to prevent this trade deficit from happening i think that we should be calling it a good surplus we've got a great system going on right now and the idea we're going to stop this is just doesn't make any sense from any economic theory i've ever heard ok and what i can say have. at the present of the american institute and i mean. just a little science very much for coming on to the program. now residents in the u.s. state of vermont having a fleet of thirty five find to station nearby the people of bennington say they're deeply concerned about noise pollution and safety to make their feelings loud and clear campaign is use giant speakers to blast the sound of
