between the visits between the two countries they sign a number of cooperation agreements. for example, when president xi jinping visited vietnam in november of 2017, the two countries signed 18 cooperation documents. thanks to the active promotion of the top leaders, the economy and trade relations between china and vietnam rapidly grows. china has been vietnam's largest trading partner for 13 consecutive years and by 1927. the total volume of bilateral trade has exceeded 100 billion u.s. dollars. accounting for about 25% of vietnam's total trade volume. it's annual growth rate is about 20%. vietnam has become china's largest trade partner in the world as well as the largest trading partner in asia. this year in china's trade volume is also rice. in terms of investment, china has invested over 50 billion u.s. dollars in vietnam. which is rapid growth in the recent year. in 1970 -- in 2017, vietnam hosted more than 12 million foreign tourists, among them about 4 million -- 4 million from china. an increase of nearly fist% over the same period of the previous year. and more

we are in between -- we're on the warm springs line and in between union city and south hayward. look at this video we just shot of workers headed out to the track with what looks like their replacement parts. this looks like it's going to be pretty cut and dry. not like they're having to order parts. it looks like they've got what they need. they're headed out there to get the job done. i did ask one worker how long do you think it will take. he said probably about an hour. if this is your commute area, you need to go ahead and plan extra time into your commute this morning. they are single tracking through here. we've seen some trains go by. they're going by slowly. there are delays. no official word of when this is going to be repaired and both tracks will be up and running. but it looks like it's going to be at least another hour. that's the estimate we're hearing. so, again, prepare for some extra time in your commute if you use this area. we are between union city and south hayward. they are single tracking through this area. reporting live in hayward, amy hollyfield, abc 7

the economic relations continue just now the relationships between china think the relationship between china and vietnam are constantly affected. in history is a testament between france, the soviet union and the united states has directly affected the choice of the vietnam form policy in the united states policy with vietnam and also korea. it has uncertainty about the allegations. in the past few years obama made great effort to the tpp to involve vietnam but it has been abandoned by president trump. president trump said u.s. i think the different attitude of the u.s. government vietnam has a great impact on the political situation vietnam the impact is adjusting and so we go you'll see the adjustment. summary, the relations between china and vietnam have been a dispute and negative i believe it would not be instantly destroyed by these disputes. and remember a few years ago when i was in the talk with the former prime minister former vietnam that said we should solve problems in emotional principle manner. in other words the problem should not be to be solved through legal means whi

we always distinguish between the economic relation and the political relationship. we comply with international law and politics we disagree with iran's policies in many places, but not when it comes to in syria, we are on the other side much the equation. when it comes to the other policy with iraq, we are on the other side the when it comes to other policy on yemen, we're on the other side, but the way forward it overcome these challenges is not in the battlefield. it's not by confrontation. we are sitting together in one region. we have to reach an understanding that each other should-- we should respect each other's sovereignty. we should agree on common principles of security and could he -- co-existence. that no one launches hostility to another country. we don't believe that those proxies should continue and the people who are of the country are going to pay the price. >> kind of looking at kind of the broader kind of -- the president trump kind of statements on pushing back iran and kind of a more enhanced regional strategy. do you see on qatar, certainly it

i don't think more distance between oppositions would help much. heavy weapons an inadequate buffer zone and freshly laid mind instead of parents what b.o.'s c.-e. monitoring mission says both sides by responsibility. to fuck to modernise the facts show a clear trend and that is the on willingness to abide by the agreements reached the bottom to hold. on xander sees it the same way he's angry at russia for fueling the conflict and the government in kiev which he believes is doing nothing to bring the war to an end and a sign of warming relations between the divided koreas northern korean leader kim jong un has invited south korea's president to meet in pyongyang kim jong un sr delivered the invitation in seoul against the backdrop of the winter olympics the diplomatic thought comes despite an acceleration in the north's weapons programs last year and pressure from sols allies and washington. excited fans wait to greet the combined korean women's hockey team a first down and pick history and the coming together on the ice symbolizing hopes of woman

there is no difference between the big and the small countries. all the countries enjoy the same rights. and are obliged to fulfill the same responsibilities. and new principles would govern this relationship between all the countries. we cannot go back before the 5th of june with the same nature of relationship. there is a lot of trust being lost throughout this crisis. and we hope that will be restored one day but needs a lot of time to be rebuilt again. >> and do you see kind of now looking at -- have you mentioned a mechanism for kind of a degree of monitoring and kind of accountability to rebuild those principles. would -- do you think at the moment that the united states is that -- and with the secretary of state has been quite active in mediation that there is a moment for more enhanced u.s. leadership in bringing the parties to the table for such a mechanism? because it strikes me at times that, frankly, at much as the amir of kuwait has made many efforts, that those have not always been that received in riyadh and abu dhabi and there is a

it's a system of enabling system between trump and congress and a system between the media that enabled him to create an audience and a system that involves the republican donor elite in the traditional republican party and above all him and the core group of his voters within the republican party who enabled him to win the republican nomination. how do you respond to president comes fbi appointee saying that the memo he has read should be released could pose a grave danger to the country? >> let me step back for a second. first of all let me tell you what this memo is and what this memo is not. what this memo is congress doing its job in conducting legitimate oversight over a unique law, fisa and if mistakes are made and individuals did something wrong than it is our job as the branch of government to conduct oversight if abuses are made. remember fisa is a unique situation which involves america's civil liberties and of american civil liberties were abused then backed needs to come to light so that doesn't happen again. what this is not is an indictment on our institutions of our just

and that is the reason my we called this panel turkey in between. between them. it seems like it's black black-and-white between partnering with the white pg h versus the nato ally. it also we can't ignore the fact we will take the question to the back. with the american service. my question is directed and that market. since she mentioned iran as a player in syria i wanted to know what is your take on the effort to be concentrating in order to curb the influence in the syrian conflict. that is a really hard question. i have to tell you given everything that's going on and i don't actually had any advice on that even for russia the physical deterrence they put loops on the ground it's not just the issues that they support they have a strong presidency. to support the regime the troops on the ground that's the key. i think the other project. with the united states they have formal relationsh with the government and its considered the very close ally noel formal ties or help the kurds get some kind of recognition. how do you do that in the absence of the relationsh

between the uk and the eu, it's a dynamic process that can change over time.ay, i find it shocking that this wasn't talked about more in the run—up to the referendum. i know somebody who went to a meeting before the referendum with their brexit supporting tory mp, and they asked him, you know, what would happen if we had a hard border between northern ireland and the republic? and he said, i haven't thought of that! i mean, this is extraordinary to me. my family come from ireland originally, so it was very much at the forefront of my mind, but i really cannot believe it was not talked about more. i remember maybe a year or two ago on this very programme, we had a story on a front page about northern ireland. and i rememberone of page about northern ireland. and i remember one of the commentators saying, it must be a slow news day! it is something people underestimated, how big this issue would be. here we have the european commission absolutely clear that there needs to be sort of regulatory alignment for northern ireland with the eu to stop that hard border r

i don't think more distance between oppositions would help much. heavy weapons and inadequate buffer zone and freshly laid mind instead of clearance work b o s c e monitoring mission says both sides bear responsibility. the fact i'm honest the facts show it clear trend and that is the own willingness to abide by the agreements reached from holton. and xander sees it the same way he's angry at russia for fueling the conflict and the government in kiev which he believes is doing nothing to bring the war to an end. gold medals are up for grabs on day two of the winter games in china and one high flying teenager claims the first early this morning snowboarder brad gerard clinched the united states first gold medal at the winter olympics winning the men's slopestyle final the seventeen year old started with two poor opening runs but his final run elevates his him to the front of the pack canadian snacks paris and mark mcmorris followed in silver and bronze. and the games got off to a buying for team germany who had quite the olympic gold rush on day one

if nothing comes out of the talks between cells in the north or it in north korea and the us. i think. you know it makes it it will. become those who. who look for diplomatic solution and the tall scan confirmed that diplomacy is useless is north korea has no intention to diena cries north korea has warned both south korea and us against a resumption of annual military drills the two countries hold near the north korean borders my understanding is that they will go have its planes now will the drills i'm knol all the progress made between the two koreas at the olympics. well i'm i'm not sure where those korea has always been opposed to joint military drills i don't know how do you from they are this year. if they are desperate. to. reduce any pressure for. sanctions and military option which stand in the way of their ultimate call of nuclear armament then i think. military drills can be only a temporary. us in the road to into korean. dialogue even at the summit level. president moon was invited to visit the north and he replied to the invitation by saying that the two sides s

you have tensions between the us and iran on many different issues.s is also a proxy for another battle which is going on over syria, where iran has been helping president assad , iran has been helping president a55ad, with the russians hopping president assad and the americans opposing all of that. i think this is opposing all of that. i think this i5a opposing all of that. i think this is a story where america is becoming increasingly uncomfortable about iran's in several countries in that, again, fragility, it's a very fragile region. there are worries as to what it would mean. we have seen with iran in recent weeks and syria, there are tensions with israel, shipping weapons through syria and into lebanon. yet another country involved in this, iran and lebanon are involved in this issue and iran has always been involved in lebanon on one side or another. what we are seeing is tensions rising and they try to rein in iran, and the americans have been upset that russia is not helping with that. you have many different countries in a complex diplomatic

between the us. and i would say that predates the coup attempt actually in fact really it goes back to the downing of the russian plane i would read seen obviously correctly as a low point in russian turkish relations but i see that really as a last dance let me jump in here to try and. we're going to go to a short break are you going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on turkey and syria stay with r.t. . this is says harlan kentucky. boy if you could walk. a comb and he said he was almost no coal mines lived. most of. these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's half. it's haven't. had a car wash. welcome back across like we are all things considered i'm peter will bill to remind you we're discussing turkey and syria. ok let me go back to dan in oxfo

this is deja vu news live from berlin three way a confrontation may be brewing between israel syria and iran an israeli fighter jet was downed by syrian forces this after israel intercepted an iranian drone that was it allegedly in its airspace but the israeli jet has been said but israeli jets have been striking iran backed positions in syria our jerusalem correspondent will help us understand also coming up. kim jong un sr tell south korea's president he's invited to a summit in the north korean capital and mungy in said he'd be willing to go to pyongyang if conditions are right. it's good to have you with us. israel has struck what it says were iranian targets inside syria after an israeli fighter jet was shot down by syrian forces as the two pilots in the jet were parachuted to safety and were taken to the hospital with one of them in serious condition the incident was sparked by an iranian drone that allegedly entered israeli airspace from syria and it's the most serious confrontation between israel and syria in yours. and it's really jet inflames an angry reaction from the army an

fruit the low hanging between the two countries has been the family reunions. arranging the divided families from north and south to meet for several days, and there are always filled with scenes of when and excruciating pain a 90-year-old mother has finally been reunified with her 70-year-old son. but, they know it is bittersweet because after two or three days, they have to part again, never to see each other again. that is the loaf hanging fruit when the two koreas want to try cooperation. offtwo koreas have broken military talks for many years. those talks help stabilize the situation simply by informing each other of different exercises, and informing each other that there are activities that are not intended to create an escalation of a situation. direct military to military talks will be helpful. when it comes to the issue of unification, we have to bring in what some colors have alluded to , that war on the peninsula never ended. there has never been a formal peace treaty. this is something that would be difficult to negotiate because it involves north

centuries this mountain lake was a strategic transit point along the legendary silk road that ran between europe and the chinese empire. for the nomads living around the lake the opening of the new silk road is in some ways history repeating itself. trucks have replaced the caravans of the past on the newly built highway and. the ambitious project was launched by chinese president xi jinping during a visit to kazakhstan in two thousand and thirteen. remission only arc of what things you didn't see. me show before it's all. father and. jaguar haw well known kay young transhuman of them was. hold on jerusha such hold gentle back trisha fall for you and. your body to me that. the new silk road planned by xi jinping runs for ten thousand kilometers on road and on rail it crosses western china kazakhstan russia and will run all the way to europe it's a huge construction site. but what are china's true intentions behind this mega project . limited by the idea in my opinion this project will change the development of the economy and society but it will definitely have long term geopolitical impl

between the u.s. and turkey and i would say that predates the coup attempt actually in fact really it goes back to the downing of the russian plane i would read that scene obviously correctly as a low point in russian turkish relations but i see that really as a last dance to let me jump in here to try and i join us here we're going to go to a short break and say are you going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on turkey and syria stay with r.t. . they are imposing their sanctions we just start developing our domestic capabilities when tapping into new resources because remember how during the previous u.s. administration they said that the russian economy will be in shambles pointing to falling oil prices and sanctions and all that stuff. are we in shambles now quite the opposite. of all this getting away from u.s. dollars while reserve currency a one row one belt policy looking up russia and china is out of the dollar every last trade oil away from the do

grant negotiation and under the table to make such such agreements between the parties. so far it has not achieved but if it achieved i don't think that turkey will will object to that and i don't think that turkey will be the party that is piling that that is not letting that happen so that's my point of view on that son the muslim the kurds have a stablished what three can tones here arguably they are powerful they can sustain that is part of the game plan for the kurds here particularly if we talk about men men be to make sure that the turkish forces if the kurds are fighting alongside the syrian regime forces is the game plan here to make sure the turkish forces get bogged down almost literally on the ground in this quite small localized but combustible conflict. well from the beginning i have there are many points i mean it should be mentioned one of them we never been a threat for turkey we never threaten to threaten turkey at all from the beginning and there was that action all these areas and turkey never done anything is just supported and those mercenaries and

there is some incompatible elements between the two. >> all of these talks, all of this effort betweenour president and everybody to try to calm the situation down, and you would like to see a denuclearization. does all this time simply give north korea more time to continue its military program, its missiles, its nuclear warheads? and they plan to have a massive military parade as we speak heading into the olympics. >> yes, but look. what north korea is showing is reality, not fiction. we've got to have a more realistic approach on north korea and also a more flexible approach to north korea. we cannot really dicte north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. it's not realistic. also we should come up with some kind of incentives to north korea to disarm north korean nuclear weapons. >> in the united states, republican presidents have dismissed any rapprochement or any progress that democratic presidents have made with north korea saying that these democratic presidents were taken for a ride, that north korea just cheated. for instance, what president george w. bush did back in the ear

this is deja vu news live from berlin a three way confrontation is brewing between israel syria and iran syrian forces shot down an israeli fighter jet they say it was one of eight targeting iran backed positions inside syria israel's prime minister says his country was defending itself against a violation of its airspace by an iranian drone and our jerusalem correspondent will bring us more also coming up. kim jong un's sister tells the south korea's president he's invited to a summit in the north korean capital and when jean says he'd be willing to go to pyongyang if conditions are right. it's good to have you with us. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria this after an israeli jet was shot down by syrian forces on his way home from a bombing mission he was one of a group of planes targeting iran backed positions inside syria israel says it was provoked a charge denied by syria and iran. a burning israeli f. sixteen shot down by the syrian air force both pilots ejected one was seriously wounded. israel

the syrian within syria pardon me between the regime and the kurds because turkey has constantly in continually been a law annoyed at the united states over its attitude towards the s.d.s. yes it has and this is clearly the sort of feel that russians have been nosing. for nosing forward or they're looking to find an understanding between turkey and assad whereby assad would re-impose authority over his borders build up his military enough that he can control the borders and provide security to turkey in exchange for the one reverse of his statement that assad has to go and supporting the syrian free syrian army and other syrian militias that have been fighting against assad that's what russia is trying to do of course the united states wants to remain in northern syria and they're going to become a sticking point. eventually in their speech because the united states has in a sense sided with kurdish nationalism. in order to have to build up the kurds to gain leverage to try to get rid of iranian influence and to get rid of assad and so in that sense yes has been in a sense the unite

the rising tension between all three parties the usa turkey and the kurdish forces. the rift between turkey and the us could deepen further over another region in northern syria beach which turkey is targeting in the next part of its military operation currently u.s. troops are stationed there opening up the possibility of a direct confrontation. a middle east expert where this conflict now the big elephant in the room is members and that's why they invited states is still on the ground they do have troops and in that case if they do not with drove the troops and advisers from this region then uncle or says that reportedly the president here threatens that he's going to go ahead with this operation and member in case this happens i think there will be a kind of militaristic and that could lead to more tension if not a military standoff between the united states and that could lead to a major discoloration to more. on the ground that would lead to more alinea ating and more isolating of the united states and it seems ancora is not looking to ease tensions with washing

how fragile relations between the g.c.c. countries that to the point where the emir of kuwait said in the white house when i was in riyadh just before the crisis days before the crisis during that big summit that brought the president up we didn't feel he said he didn't feel nobody felt that there was a sense of crisis among at least according to the legation and yet it came a few days or a couple of weeks later that say is how fragile. so going beyond that to the future is going to mean a mechanism for conflict resolution is going to mean getting more other other dimensions other institutions to participate in the. i mean more people to people are more. assembly is institutions of of law and accord to me be it needs to develop if it doesn't develop it will be as you said earlier a different kind of vision see see an american legacy see in an area which is not anymore fully influenced by the u.s. in an area where there are so many paradigms so many regions. players so many international players and therefore it would be a th
