i don't think. it's likely tonight washington and beijing hold their first talks since the world's two largest economies called a ninety day trips in the trade plus. for the year here we go again it seems paris is the scene of yet more violence as women hold their own yellow bus demonstration that ends in another weekend the clashes with the authorities in. the u.k. government's contingency plans for no deal breaks it will further ridicule with lorry drivers running a staged traffic near the port of dover a waste of time. welcome

taught international's world news update from moscow with kevin zero in this monday night first than american and chinese officials meeting in beijing with a view to putting an end to the country's bitter trade war it comes off the world's two largest economies agreed to a ninety day truce in the trade war which so far the simile created more losers than winners as they do or chewed or explains next well the next round of the u.s. china trade battle begins and both sides appear to be quite enthusiastic just had a long and very good call were present she of china deal is moving along very well if made it will be very comprehensive covering all subjects here is a point of dispute big progress being made. u.s. trade negotiators will optimistically and constructively communicate with the chinese delegation on the important agreements achieved by the two leaders during the meeting in argentina this is the first formal meeting since presidents donald

trump and the xi jinping agreed a ninety day truce last month when washington hit the pause button on the shuttle to increase in tariffs and beijing vowed to buy more products from the u.s. and there's no doubt that for both countries this ongoing trade war has stirred up the financial markets and dampened their economic outlook so we saw a number of companies who have suffered financial losses and they are finger pointing towards the top political dogs for being responsible for a decline in their profits apple didn't hold back in airing its views or shortfall is over one hundred percent arthel it's primarily china and what i believe to be the case is the trade between the united states and china put additional pressure on their economy they're going to be fine apple is a great company but that's not my look i have to worry about our country plus using the daughter of a chinese telecoms giant as

a battering tool might not be the best tactic to persuade your opposition to work with you either the hallway saw their court huge diplomatic ways when the company's c.f.o. missed when one jew was arrested in canada trump even pledged to intervene when he thought it would help to secure a trade deal to benefit america beijing was furious we have made solemn representations to canada and the us demanding that both parties immediately clarify the reasons for their detention and immediately release the detainee to protect the person's legal rights pretty much the whole of twenty eighteen passed by with china and the us at each other's throats with tit for tat sanctions and now with the american and chinese trading giants have all their fingers and toes crossed so that it can be business. as usual sooner rather than later but who knows it's a very important meeting it's a very significant meeting but keep in mind that the deadline that was set at the g two when a meeting in buenos aires argentina between the u.s.

side of the chinese side was march first in terms of coming to some sort of agreement or some sort of resolution i dare say that the early days of january two thousand and nineteen there is not sufficient pressure to cause either side to be reasonable i don't think we'll be going to see reasonable approaches the merge until we get closer to the date that it's march first two thousand and nineteen that's where we are now and no one really has an idea of where this is all going to but one thing is for sure we're not going to be bored watching this next round of china u.s. trading. just a few hours before the talks started monday the u.s. rattled china by selling a destroyer pass disputed islands in the south china sea the parasail islands a claim not only by china but also by vietnam and taiwan which is a longstanding u.s. ally a spokeswoman for the u.s. pacific fleet said the move wasn't intended to be a political statement but china reacted with fury calling it a provocation and claiming the action was in violation of international law we are

from the center for international business ethics in beijing told us though that he doesn't think the instant blunder mind the trade talks so i think it's the pentagon's you know the actual maneuverability of the thought that the u.s. dominance in the maritime sea particularly wears the many of their former allies will not be challenged we believe china kind of really work out its ourselves east asian neighbors without the intervention on the pretext of. negotiation as really being for very much are stretched to zero. the u.s. interpretation but that doesn't really correlate well as the go in the go show should then begin because those guys are there preoccupied or. resolving

the trading best known american access issue so all i do not think is that really a concerted effort. clashes erupted in paris between protesters and police as a women's yellow vest demonstration took shape in the french capital over the weekend. i this time the female only rally to play sunday is the yellow first marches continue for an eighth consecutive week several hundred making a stand they say against dropping living standards it was pretty peaceful until later in the afternoon when scuffles broke up between protesters and the police can and it seems one police union knows how to nothing is demanding a file to list violent protesters showed who has more on the. well essentially this means the police could have more rights and the ability to perhaps put what they describe as violent protesters and surveillance it could also stop them the tension

from being able to go to protests in the first place and that's one of the calls that's coming from the police union they've also said that they want tougher action against anybody who is found to have caused by lindt in protests we hear statements saying that we need to be tougher it's been two years since we demanded more firmness against those who assault the police since the beginning of the yellow vests movement how many of those arrested for assaulting law enforcement officers have gone to prison well that call comes after yet another weekend of violence here in paris as protests took place across france for the gallant best movement around fifty thousand people was said to have been involved of course front and we saw violence from both sides of the crowd. this wasn't just the protesters this was also from the police including some pretty shocking footage that so moche of a decorated police commander punching several protesters oh murther growth was

the only group grow grow. grow. grow. but one woman who's thirty five years old says she was also attacked by that commanding officer and she's now filed a complaint which is currently under investigation interesting really though there has not been any response about that particular incident caught on camera by france's interior minister christopher kastner who has been quick to criticize violence from the protesters including one protester who is apparently a former champion boxer who was caught in a bout of fisticuffs with officers on the bridge in paris on saturday was. was the.

well the interior minister took to social media to describe that attack by this alleged former boxer as being a coward attack now he's also come in the door attacked for something else that's happened this is something published on social media that appeared to be an official decree from the ministry of the interior suggesting that the police would have the right to round up any legal arms that were owned by the protesters so this is things such as perhaps hunting guns if you have a license knives or even battens now he's been quick to point out that that indeed is not true and he called it fake news story fake news another original idea from those who dream of insurrection and who'd. don't hesitate to spread false documents information is the best remedy for fake news to use without moderation some people may have been hoping that the yellow vest movement would have died down incentives pretty much left two thousand and nineteen alone it doesn't seem to be

that way and already act nine is planned for this forthcoming saturday. the united states have found again themselves at all odds over the fate of the kurds in the north east and syria the us has to be one of the before it pulls troops out of the region ankara must guarantee the security of the y p g militia which turkey views as a terror group but was instrumental in defeating eisel on sunday the us national security advisor outlined the preconditions for a military withdrawal. now objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal we don't think the turks ought to undertake military action that's not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the united states so that they meet the president's requirement that the syrian opposition forces that have fought with us and not endangered john bolton made that statement during a visit to jerusalem where he met with israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu to discuss the changing dynamics of the syrian conflict he was attempting to allay

israeli concerns about reigning influence in syria which have been growing since donald trump initially announced an unconditional troop withdraw so our boys are young women are men they're all coming back and they're coming back now there will be a strong deliberate and orderly withdrawal of u.s. forces from syria a very deliberate very orderly middle east analyst i'm a worker told us he believes the u.s. is attempting to force turkey into a standoff with other regional players. so we think that the united states is using troop withdrawal in order to create a vacuum in northeastern syria and try to push to to assume a bigger role than is agreed with with russia and iran and that supposedly would bring it into conflict with the interests of syria and russia and iran and basically try to destabilize that alliance the outcome of the negotiations are a clear. russian or turkey is going to be in the face of american demands we don't

know america has a lot of power and they could give turkey and ultimatum it's either us or the russians. you know the trump administration one wouldn't think that this is a remote possibility because they are like that the very direct president trump and his administration. they might put it under the threat. of u.k. government traffic germans being branded a waste of time and too little too late as westminster puts on a road rehearsal in the port city of dover just in case no deal is crossed local correspondent london poly boys of course this one either so i'm out of this experiment work. well look this is a department for transport triall it was called operation brock and it's all about stress testing the u.k. road and haulage system to see if it would be able to handle the potential

disruption euphemistically speaking perhaps in the event of a no deal bragg's it now under the government's contingency plans they used disused an airport about thirty miles away from and it's sort of meant to be used as a parking facilities for up to six thousand lorries if there is disruption as a result of a no deal bragg's it so to test this plan the department for transport. hi it's a number of lorries and told them to drive from this disused death toll vajra number of roads to the port of dave but and this is a pretty big but only eighty nine lorries took part in this stress test contingency planning you can take a look at what operation brock looked like now. there

was a bit of criticism first and foremost from the all forty on roads and trucks that's the road haulage association the organization that represents hawley is and they said that the whole endeavor was quite frankly a waste of time take a lesson this plumbing should have been done many months ago preferably on a bigger scale it should have been continuous stress tested i don't many truck drivers will be impressed by this what we need is a deal through police the transition deal business is simply not ready for this briggs it. and local m.p. there as well called it a wild goose chase and the journalists following this story had a bit of fun as well some saw operation broke as sort of reflective of the entire

brags that planning process take a listen to what some of those on line had to say. say traffic. using eighty seven norreys to try and see what five thousand plus will do is so perfectly on brown bricks it is like preparing for a famine by skipping lunch. rather than using a load of lorries to create a fake traffic jam surely they should have used red buses with we're out of ideas emblazoned on the side well the tweets may be funny some of them but they are beginning to reflect this sort of quiet painfully constant hysteria that's beginning to surround or continues to so hound the issue of bragg's it here in the u.k. embrace it is of course still a massive cliffhanger for us here this week the u.k. parliament is set to debate the u.k.'s withdrawal from the e.u. ahead of to reason may's crucial and delayed to vote on withdrawal next week in

parliament and the parliamentary mouth for the prime minister it's not looking good her team say they've got a week to convince the doubters and those that are dead set against the deal but there is an awful lot of people in parliament who are against it so it's pretty optimistic thinking that they can all be won over and if the deal isn't approved by parliament well then the u.k. could be staring down the barrel of a no deal bragg's it where contingency planning like the sort we saw today from the department for transport it's not going to look so funny anymore all this role in a voice and gnashing of teeth in parliament of course the constant to talk of big bear less than three months to go no where you could busiek or no polling or leave you in the team to from london or you could correspondent thanks for the. still to come in belgium moves to the jewish and muslim tradition is that a victory for animal rights we also may be more sinisterly

a move against religious minorities who debate it after the break. you know like the e.k.g. for countries is their ten year bond rate you look at that you say oh that country southie a country star healthy well looks like the health of the chinese economy based on that their interest rates are better than america. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. you know world big part of. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. again so as missions for the break seen as a victory by all rights activists belgium has joined a handful of other european countries in banning the muslim and jewish methods for slaughtering animals a new law states that animals be stunned before their slaughtered so that they're incapable of feeling any pain jewish and muslim rituals that have required the animals to be in sound good health and fully conscious crucially some european

countries do allow exceptions on religious grounds but the move now in the belgian region of flanders which could lead to a nationwide ban has caused outrage among minority communities that use the practices. today's the last day in which kosher meat and poultry can be prepared in belgium the jewish communities of antwerp and brussels this is a sad day for the jews of europe a sad day for religious freedom in europe while opponents of the muslim and jewish traditions though have called the ban here a humane development. they want to keep living in the middle ages and continue to slaughter without stunning and they didn't didn't get the disease back then without having to answer to the law so let's talk super people who've got strong thoughts on this i'm very pleased to say they've made the time to minister knight belgium join sweden norway iceland denmark and sweden are providing no exceptions for lao and kosher meat discuss the possibility of implications this would jump on the chair of the islamic human rights commission. i gentlemen thanks for your time

today to first would you say the religious traditions of freedoms are under attack in europe would we draw the line is this really a concern about animal rights and their welfare or something deeper maybe more sinister going on in europe your thoughts first luke. well i don't believe so already and i think by the way that fifty percent it's a poll recent poll in belgium fifty percent of muslims in belgium believe that indeed animals could be or should be stunned before being killed following the ritual and. i don't think it has against any religion at all if you listen to north oratory of islam. of the great mosque in paris he says that to him the stunning is acceptable if the animal could come back to its senses after the stunning which is the case so i will barker accepts the idea of stunning before killing so i don't see where the problem is it's so much more humane somebody is

not just kind of playing with words just before i go over to. you saying that it's ok if the animal is still there wouldn't feel the pain but then it's ok if it comes back to its senses what potentially could feel the pain before it's killed is that my reading of what you say in there. yes mistype worker says ok it will be the animal will be stunned and then killed following so it would feel. to him religiously speaking sorry religiously. speaking it means that the animal could come to its senses if it were allowed to live and so it is acceptable for muslims being killed after being stunned. share this islamic human rights commission do you concur with that line of thinking or all or not what's what's the problem with starting an animal before killing it and then eating it. first of all really i think to take a share from one individual in paris as

a norm on behalf of the all the muslims and all the jews in the country it really is outrageous and i think the fact of the matter is that evidence shows. that there is really no more harm or discomfort is brought to an animal be in the stands or indeed killed according to her law or kosher dish and the reality is when we see it start there you're talking about electric shock or in the case of the cows a metal rod being fired into the brain really that is no more humane than the kosher way this is the sort of all the evidence points out to doubt and the reality is that even if you ban it in certain parts of the country or indeed in a country in europe then it's going to be imported from the rest of your own or

outside that area the reality is no all this animals are going to be a slaughter according to our law lo kosher all it means is that muslims and jews are going to be given the perception that they are not full citizens and indeed their rights in their own country and in their own area is being undermined so masoud do to really feel put upon by this i mean what do you think is behind this a genuine i just asked just no genuine concern for animal rights or is something deeper going on in europe. i don't see how they have forgotten us missing a little come straight china and europe. there is the rise of the need for we are sort of fascism in europe and all girl song might be just concerned about the human animal rights but really there is the whole wave of people who are trying to undermine the rights of minority muslim or the jewish community and make him feel

uncomfortable feel make him feel that they're not really part of that society as i said there's not going to be even one less animal being the slaughter according to those the decision only means in comfort of exporting it in the nationally having that been done in the locality and really if we want to stop hardship coming to other modes then we should all become vegetarian and that is the really only other option the reality is scientifically it's been proven that there's no extra hardship is brought to animals using these different methods all of us a lot of people disagree with him and he thought some outlook revive this is a practice has been carried out for fifteen hundred years by muslims and jews. in why should it not continue. well in europe i mean in belgium for example it's more than one hundred fifty years ago that it was decided for humane reasons to

stun the animals before killing them we simply respect our laws and in this instance i must say that i've seen myself oxen and cows being killed and the animal is in panic before because of the stern ferry slowly to have their head down and they're normally killed and one the throat is slit it takes more than one minute before it becomes cincom unconscious so it is pure cruelty for three four minutes this is unacceptable frankly. see those whether muslims or christians or whatever they really don't understand that the animals suffer and acceptably that's all. you can do that we're we're in twenty nineteen zero. the fact of the matter is that scientifically proven is not. caught in the truth of the animal the mains

arteries on either side are actually caught the minute you caught those and it takes seconds in the second that you do that no blood flows through the brain so brain cease to function no pain no no hardship is brought because the brain ceased to function and this is what has been proven the fact that people are going just on pure emotion or all the phobic sort of consideration and actually looking into this and looking into it scientifically is the reason that we are here we could be here all night debating the veteran medical side of it i suppose is the economic side of it look as well and look at the stats say there are half a million muslims in belgium around thirty thousand if this new law does go through . businesses help businesses risk anyway europe suppose with openness and tolerance and accepting minorities. yeah but tolerance and

acceptance of minorities goes to a certain point there are laws for example we don't accept. we don't accept poly give me we don't accept marriages of under-age girls we don't accept. in the public space that's our laws sorry so it's not it's not against muslims it's not against the jewish community atoll and again nine belgians out of ten support this stunning issue so laws are made by the majority and we must respect the society even if it's understand it's a bit emotional i understand people want to eat meat and that they want the animals to be killed humanely very quickly first stunning and then the ritual can be applied of whatever religion and miss dartle that i mentioned early is the imaam of the latest mosque in france so it's not anybody is it though the flip side of this of course is that it could generate a lot of anger

a lot of hatred in europe amongst these minorities towards the rest of people were living working there would you think where that goes. the fact of the matter is bellamy's is going to school i mean i can hear our can here are my colleagues keep on saying that our laws i mean the jews community members and the muslim community members are belgium too we can have a situation that you have a state or ship of majority exposing and putting pressure on minorities for no reason as i said scientifically proven there is no extra hardship is brought on the mall when it is not accurately according to a study that is true that is true does much more true than you highlighting one i will buckle from friends for as your reason for completely forward the reality is that also you're not going to stop your living in the global european community and

indeed those slaughtering which is no is not going to be done in belgium it's going to be done in france and elsewhere so the reality is that all you're doing you're actually excluding your muslim and jewish community from being part of the. you are not stopping any single animal being slaughtered according to islamic or jewish tradition because they will continue just broke from the jewish community and the muslim community will continue eating a lot and kosher gentleman will leave it to. the islamic human rights commission belgium thank you so much for your time i've been near tears we head into twenty nine saying thanks ability. also i think looking from moscow but coming up to half past eight in the evening and back with more in just over half an hour more great programs for your part the world lined up after this break.

you know like the e.k.g. for countries has their ten year bond rating you look at that and say oh that country southie a country is not healthy well looks like thing health of the chinese economy based on that their interest rates are better than america. at the time a local television reporter from detroit is following the case closely bill proctor is well aware of the methods used by local police to close certain cases as quickly as possible. they did this all the time. they had people make statements whether in writing or they

did the writing they had some buddies and with this is.
