and that matter whether or not they actually were poisoned by not which uk if you're allowed to get down to it i find it suspicious that they're carting nobody check around in in what's called a bottle i would think the container they use might be a little faith here than a bottle so but we have no information on it so but it yeah i find the whole thing suspicious. donald trump is claiming relations with the u.k. are better than ever u.s. president gave a glowing appraisal of treason made during a visit to to the prime minister's checkers residence outside london on day two of his visit to britain. give. terms of grades the highest level of special yesterday had breakfast lunch and dinner with their truly something very special discussion here there was something something very special this incredible woman right here. a very smart very tough very capable person the broadest deepest

security cooperation special relationship i think prime minister made for her partnership have a lot of respect for the prime minister special relationship long tradition of friendship collaboration and i think she's a terrific woman i think she's doing a terrific job. in trying to made those remarks despite a newspaper interview a day earlier when he slammed the prime minister's plans for braggs and saying they would kill any chance of a trade deal with america went on to suggest that boris johnson who recently resigned as u.k. foreign secretary would make a great prime minister although later backtracked calling it the coverage of that interview fake news partnership meanwhile protesters against a trump visit turned out in large numbers in london organizers estimate a quarter of a million people took to the streets or dishonest turkana reports now from. others really. want the protesters out for the protests that have been. hit the u.k.

here we are interested i'll guess where we can see behind me the score is absolutely packed with tens of thousands of people that have been marching to get to this point for the last couple of hours and it has to be said that the numbers of people who turned out while we saw donald trump until recent may try to show a unified front they talked about their special relationship we've seen people here talk about how the only special relationship truck seems to have is with him. here really going to sense that coming out onto the streets in such numbers is feeding. new so all of these people are trying to make it be understood that the u.s. president is not welcome here and again this is just one of many of us activities that have been taking thank. you thank you yes. i get a bill you get my stuff i think but it's been like this for the last couple of

hours really the mood here is very persistent in terms of showing the president he's not welcome to the u.k. and this is something that's been right. leading up to as i said i thought that was it is you're right yesterday we saw a protest outside the u.s. ambassador's residence in london where donald trump is spending one night i was. earlier today there was times with this massive giant balloon depicting donald trump wearing a nappy was flown over our just outside parliament also here in central london so obviously the mood here seems to speak for itself in many ways with so many people finding the time and the urgency to come out to say that they just don't want donald trump well as the two leaders were getting down to business their spouses were having a much more leisurely time for slating one at trump adjoining the prime minister's husband of philip for a game of bowls and while members of the press were advised to wear flat shoes mrs

trump was seen walking around the bowling green in high heels. the syrian army has a secured a crucial victory against rebel forces in the south of the country that's very much more when we come back you are watching art international. it was a change agent writes about as a nice way to say he's crazy and he's going to go into any situation and just over turn the table and say let's start from scratch was exactly what is needed for the united states because the united states was very poorly position to head into the twenty first century so we need a guy like trump to come in there and just you know knock over all the pieces on the chess board and star playing checkers i mean and start all over again. against any kind of presence of the united states you know region if. you continue

there as human or human and. really against of they doing he know region region if you're in your region does quote. understand the legal president. the united. to be in a region against any kind of expansionism any kind of review and where you know this is a any other country. welcome back this is our international the russian president's spokesperson has expressed hope that ties with the u.s. can be repaired articulate patroclus spoke to me because cough ahead of monday's summit between donald trump and vladimir putin. we knew that mr pascal wouldn't really spill the beans just before the big had to had adventures however we did

hear a few quotient of things from him lately the media and the west as well as some politicians have really been distressed or even agitated about the summit coming up in the capital of finland feeling that one of the two leaders may use some sort. of leverage in a bargaining game while the spokesperson of mr putin says that kremlin isn't looking into any kind of bargaining options i also asked them about some specific potential bargaining chips up and leave me go right up to the western journalists are going on about some possible big bargaining game that could on ravel in helsinki what should we be watching out for anything like that at all does moscow have any bargaining chips for the americans when you used the word bargain is absolutely inappropriate here instead positions will be compared and there will be clarification as to confirm or dispel any fear is you know that our relations are

in a quite pitiful state and you know that russia was in the one who initiated the rooting of the complex of all relations and we hope there is a political will to normalize relations but in middle nick a pity for him at a previous so rumors again in the american media that russia might hand edward snowden to u.s. authorities have nothing to do with reality will he think that. you know they have nothing to do with it it's out of the question i think about it as a hoarder or books within the karimov but you know enough about why are you so stubborn when it comes to even the slightest possibility of discussing crimea more than some believe it's donald trump who might be ready to start discussing the matter from a different perspective they gonna like other western politicians maybe it's worth having a go with him with no. look there's only one way to discuss this and continually saying until russia gives crimea back there will be no this sort of repeating this

is like some kind of mantra which is absolutely a logical it's a road to nowhere it has no perspective and nothing will come of it and with more on. what if mr trump is the one to stop this is there any hope of that. you know we are now. and never have been wearing rose tinted glasses but we can count on that i mean pascal housing ruled out that the issue of the north stream to line for direct natural gas deliveries from russia to the you will be brought to health whately mr trump has seemed to be just a step away from even pulling berlin for working together with russia here is the reaction we heard from mr putin's press secretary to that. let's not forget the north stream too is an international project it's not even russian german or german russian it's a multinational enterprise which has many shareholders among them very big

companies from farias countries and let's put it like this threatening the shareholders as well as threatening russia and germany with sanctions if this project goes further these threats are a big concern. speaking of the enormous amounts of work in terms of perhaps by both administrations the press secretary admitted that the agenda is far from being for here's mr pastilles with more on that very process. there's no clear agenda existing as it will be created by heads of states as they go. we will be showing the full version of that exclusive interview with the press secretary of the russian president on monday just several hours before donald trump and. me and helsinki. a fifteen year old palestinian boy has been killed during the latest clashes on the israel gaza border this according to

palestinian health officials. or. i know they are i. was. one israeli soldier was injured in the unrest friday's riots marked one hundred days since the start of the so-called march overturning palestinians have been rallying at the border fence every week causing israel of occupying their ancestral lands throughout the day demonstrators burned tires and hurled rocks at israeli forces who responded with tear gas and live bullets our correspondent in to reports now from the city. so i'm only one hundred meters away from the fence that separates gaza strip with israel and as you see palestinian protesters are trying to approach a friends and break it well every time there was an attempt by israeli forces every

act back with live ammunition and tear got palestinians as you see it still come to to the protest are very close to the fence and are burning tires to blur the vision of the israeli snipers that palestinians are still motivated and still passionate of the about the great march of return demanding the right of return and demanding breaking the located on the gaza strip that has been imposed for more than eleven years palestinians today are also protesting express expressing their brains and anger against the demolishing of the israelis. but when village the israelis are also closing more restrictions on procedures on the gaza strip while they're going to close. down crossing which they're not allowing any imports of oil exports to gaza strip and they're only allowing the humanitarian needs there you can see the palestinians. angry and expressing their anger at the palestinians say that this

is the only way they can achieve their demands expressing their anger and expressing the phrase to the whole world palestinians continue to raise the palestinian flag up high and to. in the protests and as you see the palestinians are very very close to the fence while they know that there are had only weapon state soldiers stationed along the fence this is one of the injuries that came from the fence just right now the. front runner. in. the beginning of the march eighteenth children worked directly shot dad and they are including the one hundred thirty eight palestinians killed since the beginning of the marks. the syrian army has regained control of the city of derived from rebel forces strategically

vital location in the south of the country seen as the birthplace of the uprising against president al assad a syrian national flag has been raised over the city for the first time since two thousand and eleven over the past month government forces backed by the russian military have regained most of the surrounding province political scientist. excuse me. believes the syrian government could be close to ending the seven year civil war we know that who is or the. foreign powers. who want to divide see want to do. everything is it clear now if you will see or notice. as we could see in we could see. with american regards i mean the border there is great isn't it shores also. what's happened in this house or other

part of syria is not it's not some kind of protest it's really aborted to free the city we can see that the syria flag is raising. well for the end of these war against the sea or start off ending of these four against two years. well to his store to launch towers add the cape canaveral space center in florida have been demolished. oh. yeah. more than half a century during that time they were used for several lunar missions and also send probes into the far reaches of the solar system will now be used for a new space exploration project which aims to establish a lunar colony by twenty twenty two. sad to see but space is cool you're watching

international glad to have with. us. i. took me on the same boat people are not allowed. to get. around her.

that's sort of see it. go you know.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. thank you so much for joining us we sure appreciate it coming up today in the wake of the mexican presidential election we talked with mark weiss profit co-director of the center for economic policy and research but the ramifications of the country business and international trade plus when you say taiwan should you say chinese taiwan there's a rough road going along between business on the minute and they're in the middle of a fight alex the highly bitch gives us the details and our team stands tall and takes a look at the hot tesla batteries sorry they catch fire and sometimes that fire

goes on for a long time we're also going to be joined by andre barlow to make some sense of and i trust issues as they relate to technology firm plus our two year americas sports complex spawn of steve christakis looks at sports data and sports betting but i had all that we're going to get to a few headlines right now a bombshell interview with u.s. president donald trump by rupert murdoch's tabloid the sun gave a bang bang with a silver ammar to u.k. prime minister teresa mayes wobbling government on the eve of their formal talks which occurred today in the interview mr trump criticized ms may's annulling a brecht that telling the tabloid quote i actually told theresa may how to do it but she didn't agree she didn't listen to me but wait there's more take a listen to this from the exclusive interview with the sun. if you are afraid do a deal like that it will most likely because we'll be dealing with the. european union instead of dealing with the u.k.

so it will probably kill the deal with if they do that their trade deal with the us it will probably not be in their. no content no nothing really undercut ms mae more than that then that than the softer exit plan and mr trump saying that stuff there at the trade deal is going to actually happen with out the without the u.k. that's a big blow to her and having the supporters have leaned hard on the argument that a harbor exit would open the door to a trade deal with the u.s. that could offset any economic disruption mr trump twist of the knife a little further complaining that ms may's past and perhaps future rival are complimenting boris johnson rat rather the pastor at rival who resigned over the bricks that plan saying quote mr johnson quote would be a great prime minister now ms may's job of managing brax it will be harder and or political future is even more in doubt with friends like these as they say who needs enemies and meanwhile back at the ranch in washington d.c.

mr trump's treasury secretary stephen minucci heard a loud and bipartisan chorus of criticism of the administration's trade and tariff policies with republicans notably raising their voices in a senate foreign relations committee hearing on terrorist chairman bob corker republican of tennessee and a former campaign supporter an early supporter of mr trump in a state with bokes wagon nissan and general motors plants said he was concerned mr trump was on a dangerous course and listen to this abusing his authority that's capitol hill code here folks for breaking the law by mr trump imposing tariffs on national security is justification for those tariffs that authority by the way is sometimes specifically cited as section two thirty two you may hear that around another republican house financial services chair jeb hensarling said he was worried about a quote full fledged trade war with no end in sight and in a speech the economic club of washington house speaker paul ryan republican house speaker for gosh sakes said about trade policy quote new tariffs are not the

solution all of these back and forth the trade wars and the end still reaction surrounding them remind me that teeshirt are. at the other day the beatings will continue until morale improves it sounds like we're getting closer to a time when there might be sort of some intervention between the republicans and mr trump we'll keep an eye on it and let you know what's taking place. and mexico has a new president elect leftist andres manuel lopez obrador the former mayor of mexico city was elected on july first with fifty three percent of the vote has thirty thirty points ahead of his closest rival on his third try to become president lopez obrador his party merino which he founded won a majority of seats in both chambers of the mexican congress with thirty seven percent of the parliamentary vote and here to explain it all is mark weisbrot the co-founder of the center for economic and policy research mark thank you so much

for being with us again we really loved it last time we're pleased you would come come back and do it again this is going to create a challenge i mean the relationship between president trump and the current administration in mexico has not been a great thing we're going to you're going to pay for the wall trump said now that's going to be off when. take takes off in the on december first as president how is that going to work well it's hard to say right now because you know trump is unpredictable right now he seems to like. little as he's called for his initials on the race when you get when you get an acronym like where you know you don't you know you're it you're in with the big leagues and he well he seems to like him now it's kind of and he tweeted right away before the election results were even official he tweeted his congratulations very friendly and every one of these indications that he likes him and i think it's because you know the media here was so much against. it and they kept comparing him to trump and

a lot of all the pundits and all the op eds and so and the t.v. shows that trump watches were always comparing to him so he. you know he probably thought that he must be ok but i don't think that that's really necessarily going to last because as you mentioned there's a lot of convert this conflict over nafta over immigration obviously he's not going to build a wall and yet we're starting off they do have this good relationship i think we have a clip from the president talking talking about it. just spoke with the president elect of mexico in a great conversation about a half an hour long and we talked about border security we talked about trade we talked about nafta we talked about a separate deal just mexico and the united states we had a lot of good conversation i think the relationship would be a very good one. so like you say he started off well we'll see how that goes but there are really tough issues ahead i mean these nafta good negotiations a big going on in the president's threaten to scrap nafta and do bilateral deals

and the mexican economy you wrote a long paper it's right there guys it's impressive about the mexican economy what's been in the doldrums for eighteen years how is the new president to deal with this well he's going to have to mean there's a lot to take on and it's really a long term failure that most people here don't know about it's it's really forty years i mean if you just look at the twenty first century mexico is rinks eighteenth out of twenty latin american countries in terms of just the growth of income per person and poverty is worse than it's been than it was twenty five years ago or the real real wages wages adjusted for inflation are less than they were in one nine hundred eighty and so this is a real long term failure and mexico is kind of stuck in it because they've been following these policies where when the economy starts to pick up then they just they want to pay down the debt pay off the national debt and they don't have

a big national debt the interest payments on the debt are about two point eight percent of g.d.p. and more importantly for a developing country they don't have that much in terms of dollar debt that is that that is owed in dollars that's actually quite small it's about you know three percent of their export earnings which is very small so they're not really they should be doing that but and then of course that's when times are good so they start to pay down the debt so that's. why they have such slow growth and then in the central bank raise interest rates you know they raised interest rates from december of two thousand and fifteen to february two thousand and eighteen from three to seven and a half percent huge interest and interest rate that they that was overkill as well so it's these policy he's going to have to change macroeconomic these really important macro economic policies are going to have to have investment in research and development you know they're competing with china in the u.s. market and they've been losing since two thousand that's another big blow china has

spent you know many multiples of it what they spend on research and development they have policies to control their exchange rate everything that mexico doesn't have so those are the kind of challenges he's facing economically but i think he'll have other problems with the u.s. specifically around foreign policy because he's going to change the foreign policy of mexico actually back to what it was for most of the modern mexican history he said very clearly he wants to respect national sovereignty and self-determination in the hemisphere and that that seems very normal to most people in the world but here in washington that's kind of a hate speech yeah right because you know mexico helped. the u.s. government for example the current government helped the u.s. government in november when the honduran election was stolen mexico actually met with the u.s. and then recognized that election and then the u.s.

said it was the trouble ministrations said they were following mexico's lead in recognizing the stolen the less hard to figure out where this a bit astray shit is sometimes and we appreciate you spending time with us all on this what work was brought co-director of thank you so much for being here mark really appreciate it. and as the u.s. china trade battle grows the world's two biggest economies are flexing their muscles beyond just tariffs taiwan has once again become a hot button issue and companies that do business in china are being told to comply with china's policy toward taiwan and others well we'll see alex mailer's will give us the details of what's going on in east asia. from tariffs to taiwan. the tensions between china and the u.s. are heating up just this week the u.s. sent two warships through the taiwan strait a move china has denounced in the bottle bill should get a look when you're highly concerned about relevant reports of blood selling

complaints with the u.s. and must be pointed out that visits by the us officials to taiwan under any excuse do seriously violate the one china principle and regulations of the three joint communiqué xp between china and the us it interferes in china's internal affairs and inflict adverse impacts on china u.s. relations we urge the u.s. to honor its commitment on the taiwan issue and correct wrongdoings so as to avoid harming china u.s. ties and peace and stability in the taiwan strait obviously taiwan is a key issue for china china sees the island as a part of its territory while the taiwan government views itself as independent of mainland china's even though its actions don't necessarily reflect its stance the u.s. officially does not support taiwan's independence in many international circles taiwan is known as chinese taipei the name is widely used in sporting events like the olympics and at major global organizations such as the world bank the international

monetary fund and apac in fact most of the countries of the world and the united nations recognized one china that said china is now demanding that international businesses respect the view as well at least a dozen u.s. and other western brands and companies have been told to comply this includes marriott international zar apparel and sadie's bents at the center of it all however are airlines china has demanded the airlines refer to taiwan as a part of china and so far many of fallen into line they include air france british airways times of emirates qatar airways malaysia airlines philippines airlines singapore airlines thai. airways turkish airlines air canada air india and australia's quantas the above now refer to taiwan china in their list of destinations however among others america's big three airlines are absent from this list the companies seem to be taking cues from washington

a united airlines spokesman said we have deferred the matter to the u.s. government since this is a diplomatic issue to be resolved among governments and this isn't word ends with d.c. on this matter the u.s. backed american institute in taiwan opened a new two hundred forty million dollar de facto embassy in taipei the taiwanese capital the u.s. also sells a billions in weapons to taiwan over one point four billion under trump alone and the american government's rhetoric continues to go against china's and its own policies speaking at a banquet in taiwan's capital back in march the us deputy assistant secretary of state alex wang said the aim of u.s. policy is to ensure that taiwan's people can continue along their chosen path free from coercion one continued by saying that the united states wants to strengthen our ties with the taiwan people and to bolster taiwan's ability to defend its democracy.
