deal. north of the border. * protests.

are you may be tuning in from right around the world welcome to. my names you know . the united states and china approved. trade deal they want to cut chinese. american farm exports to beijing it follows a 19 month trade war between the world's 2 largest economies. well rumors have been circulating for the past few days that some kind of deal was in the works to resolve the trade disputes between the usa and china the idea being that the tariffs would be scaled back in exchange for tens of billions of dollars of agricultural products and other things being purchased from the united states and some concessions on china's part now in response to these rumors that we heard the

democrats speaking up this was chuck schumer reports say president trump sold out for a temporary unreliable promise from china to purchase some soybeans we've heard this song and dance from china before yet again president trump can't be relied on to do the right thing even when his statements were pointing in the right direction now we then heard from donald trump speaking up about how this was simply fake news this is what he said the wall street journal story on the china deal is completely wrong especially this statement on tariffs fake news they should find a better lead but just a few hours afterwards we heard china come forward with an official press conference announcing that phase one of the deal was on the verge of being implemented this is what we heard from the official chinese press conference the agreement will create better conditions for china and the united states to strengthen cool peroration economy and trade property monies unresolved economic

and trade disputes all differences and promote stable growth of china's economic and trade relations given the downward pressure on the world economy now trump spoke up afterwards saying that essentially china had agreed to a number of structural changes and would be purchasing a u.s. agricultural products as well as energy and manufactured goods also said that he was hoping to begin work on phase 2 of the agreement but he would want to do that immediately not wait until 2020 this trade war has been asking lading between the united states and china sense june of 28. i mean there's been an escalation of terror of many many different you know regulations being put in place and different products being targeted but it seems that some kind of resolution is in the works we now have an agreement of some degree so folks we waiting to see what happens next there has been hope before the trade war was going to be resolved and those hopes of then been shortly afterward disappointed so what comes next remains to be

seen but at the moment many are optimistic that it appears that things are moving forward. well done the deal and talk through why it's too early to really speak about any real success is this deal going to end up being no different than what these 2 countries had to begin with it's like if i take something away from you and then i give it back to you i didn't really give it to you exactly and this was actually the exact same thing that was on the table back in march if you remember the trade deal that was on the table back in march like we said we will buy more ads you take back our tears this is exact same thing and trump was like no we demand ip protection we demand rights who are american companies in china you need to restructure your government to not handle private corporations he demanded all of these things and now china was like no we're not going to do that and look at the terms of phase one here it's so vague and all of those things are taken out the only thing that are actually legitimate on the table are literally purchases and rollback of tariffs so the journey's want to roll back as you say are we did we

roll them all bartz or not all of them but all of more robust so the sticking point of why this had to happen today aside from the fact that there was also some impeachment stuff going on right so you kind of take over the news cycle but aside from that as of sunday about $160000000000.00 worth of new tariffs are going to be added to chinese goods and the reason that is needed to get something done today is because had that been enacted for the 1st time american consumers were going to start feeling this trade deal in a negative way and he doesn't want that one isn't is a non deal right now this is a deal for public consumption it's just a face really the crux of it is face to face 3 and right now in order to save even more face trump said phase 2 is going to be great face to is going to be eminent and we will see how phase one turns out. ok. cross the atlantic from there boris johnson's conservative party is celebrating and historic victory in the u.k.'s general election the prime minister says it gives

him a powerful mandate to deliver break said now the poll delivered the worst result for the labor party since the 19th thirties and hoping to draw a line under years of better nationwide vision mr johnson appealed for the healing to begin but his triumph mobilized hundreds to turn out for ongoing protests. was. demonstrators in london said all flares on clashed with police chanting not mine prime minister. asked to go they gathered in front of downing street and marched through central london there are also some are scenes in glasgow. indeed it's north of the border we go it's been a divisive win for the scottish national party as well which reignited their calls of course for another independence referendum for the u k kevin olin discuss the election and its consequences with correspondent daniel concern here. the polls are predicting

a tory majority throughout the election campaign but not to this extent i mean labor's been decimated losing your key seats in the northern heartlands of the midlands all many of them seats which voted labor for 3050 even close to 100 years so this is very much been a defeat for labor based really on lot of people are saying on the question of brics it went in with a very clear message get bricks it down it was very clear very simple it resonated with those areas with those communities that voted to leave and we've heard michel barnier say no way we're going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end it will be $21.00 boris johnson so it's going to be well that's the thing i mean no trade deal of this size or complexity has been negotiated with the e.u. ever and he's saying that we're going to come out by genevieve the 1st we've been going until june 2022 negotiate this deal it's also got be ratified of course by the $27.00 member states if that doesn't happen the prospect of a new deal bricks come this time next year is that very much on the table spoke of the works along the line what's going to happen on the border between northern

ireland or the republic of ireland that's still not sorted up plus there's the whole scottish question of kicking off even more nationalist parties have done fantastically well in this election i mean speaking of ireland the deputy leader. dogs lost his seat to the new can for the 1st time since 1921 this is the violent nationalists now outnumber unionist s.n.p. again a whole different kettle of fish certainly no disunity in scotland they were very clear that they wanted to remain in the e.u. the s.n.p. has capitalized on that and made massive gains 48 seats won 8 percent increase last night we saw nicolas there isn't jubilant dancing in fact when the leader just wins and lost her seat and this is what she had to say on independence referendum last like a stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renew reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over the future that man d c. is that it is for the scottish parliament nor

a waste minister government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence the office of prime minister saying there's got no intention of allowing a friend in the near future that you've results the 20. has to be respected and there will be a return to division and uncertainty so he's been on an unequivocal that's not a priority that's not going to happen s. and p. they're already preparing to sit down next week and publish what they describe as a detailed democratic case for letting scotland aside and whether there should be a 2nd independence referendum so boris johnson isn't going to have it easy he may have his hands on tide he may you know have lost the opposition of his own m.p.'s of labor he's got difficult negotiations coming up and he's got the question of scottish independence and in big trouble in northern as well to deal with that. in the wake of the conservative cleanup r t u k discussed what it will mean for the all but inevitable. it to all intents and

purposes this selection in the end became a practice of election which in itself was a de facto referendum and therefore in that context it is somewhat a standard to say that labor voters in tradition like the voting areas such as. west brom and should. embrace the conservative party in many large majorities that in the leafy suburbs the sorry i don't see a referendum taking place now you know if it's a case of ever wanting to rejoin the e.u. it will be as an absolute a study from a position of great obliqueness press it was probably because syces factor in most voters' minds but there were a few other issues that i mean it's fairly obvious that the labors policies were quite hard left and i think that probably didn't resonate quite so well with as much as the public as they had hoped some of the policies were a little bit a little bit stream to say the least so that was probably part of it but i think yes the predominant issue was was practice it and the conservative party presented

the way forward the certainty the resolution and the end to the torment and frustration and confusion that we've been suffering for the last few years of course it doesn't mean that the process is finished but i think the 1st stage and crucially the political element of it is now resolved. to more global news now the united nations is accusing the chilean army and police of committing human rights violations during a crackdown on protests investigators highlighted cases of unlawful killing torture here's the key findings. coming up a. human

rights violations documented by always c.a.g.r. include the excess the 1st and necessary use of force that led to unlawful killings and injuries arbitrary detentions and torture and ill treatment. fisons are being demonstrating since made october demanding an overhaul of the constitution the chilean government has called the u.n. report disappointing it said the deaths happened in situations of extreme violence caused by the protesters the arrest was initially triggered by a hike in a transport costs that snowballed into a nationwide movement for social reform the government imposed a state of emergency troops on the street. could it mean that we deeply regret

the allegations each of them is being or will be investigated i want to emphasize that the needs to introduce a state of emergency arose from a situation of violence and not peaceful demonstrations as some have tried to claim the police chief they keep a lot of i know. it's a levy for you the art i don't see any kind of paid to go and i'm very proud of all he doing to pressure the protestant t.v. you know for the 1st time in. east to get more cross the people are very seriously. just to the crash where we. might be going to report to you but. but the gist of my prediction. let's talk buses trains not because it is surprise move the berlin transport off already has applied for

a unesco world heritage status of the company jokingly admits that it sometimes known for overcrowding and rude service it saves the transport system is the only place left in the rapidly changing city where bird is still burning and slow steps us takes a closer look. what does the taj mahal in india the much. transit system have in common well nothing yet but they may soon be sharing the spot on unicycles heritage list. who is on time and could decide to try to be called t.v.'s must see a mass in my case. 2 or 3 lifetimes to stand by. my soupy truth be told the berlin transit authority has applied for world heritage status and wants to be included on the same list of some of the world's most fascinating architectural monuments but what makes the berlin transit system so special the appeared. on phones are designed is to decide. it

certainly convenience and even runs 24 hours a day on fridays and saturdays but if you've ever been on one of their subways you'll realize that the stuff could be a little bit frosty. the education which. as unfair the difference. it would be. somebody saying it's all good for marriage so customer service is not really their thing in mention the overcrowding and the long delays so we went around asking berliners what they think about their transit system and whether it should be included on heritage list it's one of the oldest so i think you have to save it and to use it spinning great transportation to use but i don't know if it's exactly. right not because it's an it's a quite old system in and in germany the ground system and. underground stations

look like a huge because here it's i don't think it should be however he's shown. it's a service rather than a truck. with people already seeing yes on the company's website. the whole getting their school right it could indeed have some traction but it could also just be a ticket to promote the city's public transit network so remember next time you're angrily a bus by your driver or you're already limited space is being invaded on one other subways this could all be part of a world heritage experience the federal subsidy for artsy. fartsy one of its ok more world news ahead this sunday from our seeing today facebook is accused of risking public health over misleading ads about a child b. prevention drugs we'll take you through it after the show has.

joined me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. 18 minutes past 2 pm here in moscow welcome back its claimed facebook is causing harm to public health an open letter signed by dozens of health advocates n l g b t rights groups is the month the social media platform drop that misinformed people about the effects of using the hiv prevention drug truvada. the advertisements are targeting. facebook and instagram users and are causing significant harm to public health the signers of this letter request that facebook and instagram remove the

advertisements and also publicly address the misinformation that the platforms have allowed to spread. the letter sings the risk people expressed fears of taking the drug after seeing the potentially leading to avoidable hiv infections the adverts placed by multiple law firms urged gay and bisexual men to join a lawsuit against the drug maker claiming it's caused harmful side effects facebook sees the other words don't violate their rules but their policy also states that in some cases they can be removed if an expert organization debunks their claims well must few rules from the hiv because see organization health get up criticized facebook for not doing enough. i myself have been taking the drug for 6 years now and i've seen 0 side effects on the drug facebook is promoting an ad that makes it really hard to allow people to have

a really powerful and really safe new prevention option their 1st exposure to this pale is that it is dangerous this is misleading false and also only harming public health and the efforts to hiv pandemic globally they want to act like they are the biggest game in town and they are but that means that you have some ethical responsibilities when it comes to certain areas you need to room more accurate things about health you need to do some more things about news you claim that you are a news outlet for people in place that people get news but refused to fact check or even engage in the notion and allow people to spread lies that are harmful to people's public health so it's a civil discourse and me until this is a democracy. and up to it's all me long running issue no germany. targeting companies assembling the nord stream to pipeline let's just go through out the pipeline actually is it's a major underwater network running from russia to europe through the baltic sea it

covers more than a 1000 kilometers and means moscow doesn't huff to transit us to the e.u. through ukraine the german parliament's economic affairs an energy committee chairman so he's berlin should respond with similar tariffs on america. and you could be excused but he broke if the u.s. keeps trying to obstruct the north korean project i suggest responding with punitive tariffs on german imports of american gas things cannot continue like this if we impose punitive tariffs on us gas sales will fall on the us will have to reflect on his actions. while the energy project has long been a stumbling block between the e.u. and the us washington thinks that leaves europe to energy dependent on russia while the german foreign minister says it's up to them not the us to decide how to conduct their country's energy policy. european energy policy is decided in europe not in the u.s. we crucially reject external interference and sanctions with extra territorial

effect on the us is unhappy that we are not buying their gas they want to boost their own trade and that's why they are imposing sanctions on companies involved in building the pipeline that firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive than rushing gas like the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why north stream 2 is so important the americans have tried to interrupt our oil and gas trade with russia from the outset and yet we have managed to corporate for many years without interruption both sides need this and we plan to continue whether the us likes it or not environmental activists have staged a rally in madrid in front of a venue hosting a united nations climate conference. oh i thought. 'd i did. was protesters

chanted slogans and voiced their disappointment over a lack of. the international un 20. ways to tackle concerns a point which. flooded the streets on friday protesting result of the recent presidential election the former prime minister. who was elected president in a poll seen by many algerians as a continuation of the democratic regime demonstrations originally began in february after the country's 82 year old ex-president announced he would run for the 5th time after being in power for 2 decades. to europe. and smartphones have been the. employees of a french phone. workers out remade which is struggling to stay in business

protesting working conditions to smush anymore devices bosses refused to deal with their complaints. all right time once more for another visit to the watching the hawks were heading to london and moments then i'll see you at the top for all the latest global news updates. the huawei fall. china is the apollo 11. this decade. it's defining the technological landscape for a whole country going to happen for a lot of time.

when there is only johnson. and i just got out of prison for. 41 years. i'm 72 years old now i got arrested for too many for something to. throw you know like just everything was taken out of. my work in the hospital but it was a. government decision on man that looks a little bit like me. because about. a homicide on 2 cars. now. we're tough years doing that so you're going.

to go system. do know i'm afraid try to frighten. us no good some ground didn't. on. just been to see i don't see the queen earlier on and she agreed to dissolve parliament for an election we've got to the stage where we have seats in the fight for the 3rd of our country the labor costs and well prepared well organized and utterly determined to win this election is these of the public facebook page you have a deal it's ready to go the regs the party will not contest the $317.00 seats the

conservatives one of the last election within 3 months will secure a credible deal to the european union and in 6 months we'll put that to you only think what's a very takes just still here h.t.h. it is time for scotland to be made in the country at the bottom of the economic league table in the u.k. at the moment but you know we don't have to accept and. we will not vote for the prime ministership treatment under corbin's proposals you would have just one referendum on the e.u. you'd have one on scotland as well does the bible to deliver for the people of this country let's get god every leader on this stage with me they were all work hard sounds a little bit like the green party this election is our last chance to tackle the climate and environment emergency. limits the product of the n.h.s. and its achievements look at what we're putting in 34000000000 pounds 20 hospital

upgrades 40 new hospitals these documents confirm the us system on to the n.h.s. is on the table these uncensored documents the forest johnson's denials in absolute taxes we believe in the n.h.s. free at the point of us under no circumstances will be silly talk to anybody a little metal. will read this bill greater future this election is a once in a generation chance to transfer. let's get it done. here now with a position to say that this election has been won by the concert like to thank the

people of eastern partnership for putting your faith in me for 12 and a half years but i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign . has so polarized and divided divides i recognize that has contributed to the result that the labor party has received this evening the only day we do it we call them week in this election your voice has been. trying. time after time as you were going to going on the ground general election special after a result that could see the un condemned conservative party in power for the next decade we'll have reaction from across the political spectrum but 1st let's go to oxford university professor danny dorling author of peak inequality and front man of sheffield and reverent of the makers john macor who campaigned for labor in this election welcome both of you professor danny dorling. what now for boris johnson what can he do to prevent any other corporate politician threatening power and

privilege like corbin did ever again in this country that'll be a high high priority for him because colby in the end and the labor party became available for that they were going to take away the kind of privilege of his wealth they were effecting it's cold is the whole background to media matters the easy thing for them today is to implement boundary changes we've been to have a new commission to make the seats even even smaller in areas that labor could do better in i mean that's that's probably on the cards but he may be thinking of us. you may be thinking of changing the voting system so you have to go through various stages of id to actually be able to vote and that would harm labor in particular ways it's perhaps the pif party for him and for the people who backed him in the people who gave the money for his campaign they never want to see the fret of a social democratic left wing labor party again john.
