6:00 pm
and live from studio. headquarters and. welcome to the news in the. rebels have now reached a deal to gradually withdraw and hand their weapons for bashar al assad and his allies it is another piece in the puzzle another part of the country essentially. also in the great trade war on the american. china.
6:01 pm
the united states a trade. what the chinese a calling the largest trade war in economic history. it's one of the rescuers it highlights just how delicate this operation is and how risky it will be the boys. how to scuba dive. israel has. palestinian occupied west bank but it's still caused outrage among activists and the international community reaction to this story and much more. is the hash tag. streaming online book live in al-jazeera dot com and author of. the week syrian rebels battling a government offensive in the. souths have now agreed to
6:02 pm
a cease fire deal that calls for find is to hand over their heavy weapons through which they would be given safe passage to rebel areas in the north and exchanged government forces would take control of some strategically important crossings border crossings that is with jordan and the army would also agree to leave four villages in that our province this bombardment it really has been of that are by government and russian forces is pushed hundreds of thousands of people as well out so what's the jordanian and israeli boards that's where we're heading now jordanian sideburn and smith that the job of crossing on the jordan syria border i mean we call it a ceasefire bernard but this is another territorial strategic loss for the rebels isn't it. yeah and it's if it's effectively a surrender by the rebel forces by the opposition forces come out in a surrender that's given assad one of the very significant prizes in this battle for control of syria very significant control of the nasheed border crossing the
6:03 pm
border crossing just beyond that crossing between jordan and syria will again the outside regime would hope in months to come a significant trade route linking jordan and syria and allow us not to start rebuilding syria for the rebel groups they've been given safe passage out if they want it and that could be six thousand or more all free syrian army advisors and that families that would hope to get it believed in the north of syria one of the very last areas that remains under the regime control that also on the heavy weapons. the concession they've got is that the russians will essentially may oversee security along the jordan syria border and not significant because the people living in it would fear of reprisals from the syrian regime the russians are supposed to be there to make sure that doesn't happen come on and that's something also the jordanians are very keen to see the russians coming and the three hundred three hundred and twenty thousand also people who left bernard what happens to them
6:04 pm
. well those of them that are massed along the jordan syria border they it's hoped will feel confident enough to go home and as that that the point about the russians maintaining security control here is what would give those people confidence is why jordan wants those people to remain to be confident because jordan wants them to go to jordan as we know has been under enormous pressure to take in those refugees they've been stuck along parts of the fence line. for more than two weeks some of them with very little access to water or food or sanitation so jordan hoax those people will feel safe enough to go home it hopes the russians will be able to guarantee their safety come on but it's most of the job of crossing jordan syria border there thank you bernard and we've got hired had with us now he's been with us this afternoon a syrian columnist in the consulting research fellow at chatham house to talk
6:05 pm
through some of this do you agree mr hyde that surrender is really what's happened here. exactly and this is not the first time that the regime has been able to impose surrender conditions that will basically prevent locals from having any kind of say over how their areas are run by will but it will also mean that many people will feel unable to go back to those areas as long as the regime continues to be operating. in their areas and their homes what's left for the rebels you know this was one major strategic area obviously in the south bordering other countries not that far from damascus what in syria is left for them. for now it seems that the only place left for them is that region around it live in northern syria and there is another part that is now controlled
6:06 pm
by kurdish forces but many people don't deal with them as friendly forces so when we talk about rebel forces the only area that is left right now for them is in the north that is now under the protection of turkey and some rebel forces were open i think on the ground but then would that not just become the next target for the russians and the syrian government just like aleppo before it just like there are now you keep pushing what's left of the rebel movement into one area and then talk about area. exactly and this is why many people are now basically asking the same question what will happen in italy will it lead be next or will if then syria being expelled goes clearly the region is not interested in reaching any kind of political fit them and will peacefully in their conflict in their with areas will continue to be determined to recapture them militarily so
6:07 pm
now i think what will have been most likely will depend on too many issues the first one is whether russia will accept to support reach him offensive to retake it live and whether to a key will be committed to preventing that at any cost or not hide hide from chatham house we thank you for your expertise and for talking us through this thanks so much didn't touch of us want to contact details for you on screen right now hashtags a.j. newsgroup on whichever correspondence or which of a platform you choose use it might be twitter you can reply to the thread at a.j. english nihad on g.'s a day looking for your responses in the thread there with the hash tag at facebook dot com slash down to zero as always the live stream up and running commentary on two selves coming directly without us keeping an eye out here and that number plus one seven for final one triple one for nine hour what's that number it also works on telegram if you want to subscribe to a telegram channel and communicate with us through there as well please do or you
6:08 pm
can tweet me directly actually at a if you like or that will move on to other news and looks like we have a trade war on our hands china has responded with its own tariffs after the trump ministration imposed duties with thirty four billion dollars on chinese imports beijing accused washington of launching quote the largest trade war in economic history and of being a trade bully it all sets the stage for a prolonged showdown between the world's two biggest economies right mcbride with us from beijing. china has always said it will match any u.s. tariff with its own at the ministry of foreign affairs briefing just hours after the us tiris were imposed china promised to be true to its word. i want to stress that we never want to see the escalation of trade frictions into a trade war a trade war is the last thing we want to see because as we've said many times no one country will benefit thirty four billion dollars worth of goods will be
6:09 pm
affected from farm products to automobiles chemicals and medical equipment as those u.s. products become more expensive china has been looking for other countries to supply them. china has been trying their hardest to diversify suppliers of energy of agricultural products especially when all the heat focused on saudi being on china has been boosted its investment in a lot of other unconventional countries for soybean exports such as russia in so doing say critics of the u.s. policy beijing has been forging deeper trade links with the u.s. competitors there will be no winners the question is will there be something lose more than anybody else right now though it looks like the united states is doing the opposite of what it intended it is in essence rallied the entire world against it and u.s. tariffs could ultimately hurt u.s. firms as well as chinese that's because far from being a straightforward take for tatts an easily winnable trade war it's complicated for
6:10 pm
example some of the chinese semiconductors the u.s. is putting terrorists on use microchips that are designed and made in the u.s. so those companies will also be hits. it's thought the u.s. is imposing tariffs to punish china for what it says are unfair trade practices and stealing american intellectual property rights but attending a gathering of sixteen central and east european leaders in both garia chinese premier league co-chairing said foreign firms was safe in china. our view is that trade war is never a solution china would never start a trade but if any party resorts to increase of tariffs then china will take measures in response to protect step up interests uphold the authority of the world trade organization and save the multinational trade order as relations with the u.s. continue to serve china's leaders appear to make new friends wherever they can probably
6:11 pm
bright al-jazeera beijing. and his committee how could our white house correspondent to talk through some of this i seem to recall him believe donald trump probably tweeting at some points on trade wars are easy to when you start to question that on a day like today when china hits back within hours right so certainly donald trump is taking a confrontational approach kamau we knew this was coming he announced it in april and since then there have been high level talks going on between china and the united states to try to work something out because the underpinning of all of this is a concern that shared not just by the united states but other countries and that is as we heard from robert ride there the concern about the intellectual property theft and an equal trading when it comes to the two nations so donald trump said that he was going to do something about this he promises on the campaign trail now he's delivering and this is expected to escalate we've only seen the beginning
6:12 pm
donald trump said when speaking to reporters on air force one on thursday that not only are we seeing these tariffs put in place on the thirty four billion of chinese goods into the united states there's another sixteen billion at the ready two weeks from now and then on top of that two hundred billion more that could be put into effect and then three hundred billion more after that so this is the opening salvo if you will in this trade war is this seen kimberly as a big issue in the united states and others are generally generic question to ask but it's like a slow burner almost it's there in the background and it's maybe not as big an accused as some of the other issues which donald trump goes off to. it's hard to to get sort of the ordinary man on the street to understand the implications of this because we're talking about the underpinning of global trade and the rules that have governed this system for a half century but the argument being from the trauma administration is look at these were rules put in place post world war two to try and build up other
6:13 pm
economies because the united states had an advantage but those situations have changed and the rules need to be changing and so this is what donald trump promised to do now whether or not his supporters fully understand that remains to be seen so far they haven't seen the high impact on their pocketbook but that is expected to come so this is a bit of a gamble for donald trump because what he is essentially doing is sort of calculating in the short term political considerations we've got those looming november congressional elections donald trump seems to be taking this confrontational approach not just on trade but also on immigration and his poll numbers are responding well so he seems to be focused on that but the long term implications could certainly not only be detrimental to potentially the global trading system but also to the american so are his supporters or as beautifully explained by kimberly how could i want house correspondent thank you for that kimberly i want to bring back one of my favorite for graphics from al-jazeera dot
6:14 pm
com just now because it's so simply illustrates what this so-called trade war is all about and where it all stems from it is cold wow technical problems again let me try and commit to this for you. here we go to china this is us face to face and you can have a look at the cell phone line because there's more info there than i'm going to show you here but basically we're talking about the world's two biggest economies combined they make up over a third of the entire global economy now if you look at this map the u.s. gets hot it's imports from just five countries canada mexico germany japan and china the most comes from china but it doesn't export to china. in anywhere near the same volume look at the gray line at the bottom those the u.s. exports to china the orange line at the top is imports from china and right in the middle of highlighted in red it is the trade balance or as i suspect donald trump would call it the trade imbalance let's try to get into that a bit more with henry curly u.s. economics editor at the economist magazine joining us from washington nice to have
6:15 pm
you with us henry can i suggest that actually no one wins in a trade war even though donald trump said the easy to win actually when both sides are hitting each other no one wins well you're right in saying that the president would view that trade balance as a trade imbalance and i think the issue is that he sees imports from other countries fundamentally as money lost he says if you are importing more than your exploiting that means your getting a bad deal on trade that's not something that many economists would agree with because of course from those imports you benefit in terms of cheaper cheaper products for consumers and also cheaper intermediate goods cheaper parts for your american car manufacturers say and what happens if you start disrupting those supply chains is that you'll get a lot of economic disruption at home so because president trump has this view of trade as something which should automatically be in balance and if not it's bad for
6:16 pm
america i think as a bit of a risk for the overplayed his hand here and ends up finding out that as you say trade wars aren't quite as good as he thinks can you explain for us how this goes further because we're talking about it as the u.s. versus china here but the fact is the u.s. has got well it's got individual problems trade problems with other countries as well but how does the u.s. china relationship the two biggest economies in the world affect other economies. sure well the curious thing about this is that there are lots of countries who have objected to chinese trade practices who would have problems you might join the u.s. in a campaign against them in particular the theft of intellectual property in china. china insists as a condition of access to its market that firms hand over that intellectual property and lots of countries have a problem with that the difficulty is that america doesn't exactly rallied other
6:17 pm
countries to its side here instead it's also got trade disputes going at the same time we canada and mexico over the north american free trade agreement which it is trying to renegotiate and also with the e.u. so it it's not clear that this would be the best way of leading on china in terms of rallying a diplomatic international response against it in that respect that said president trump is right that america. has a lot of economic might it does import a lot more from china than exports that are purely in terms of tariffs it has more weapons at its disposal you could say so it's not the fact that america doesn't have a lot of power that it can throw around if it wants to it's just that other countries i think might have joined the complaints against china had they not also been alienated but. all these other countries that are politically speaking i guess more than economically they're going to get sick of this even if the u.s. is in a better position to fly the so-called trade war no one's going to want to play
6:18 pm
with that basically if this sort of thing carries on this sort of poking the bit. yes i think the issue is that america is so important for the world economic cycle so at the moment the world economy has been in a upswing since about two thousand and seventy is cooled off a bit this year but america has been the engine of that growth and so you can't get away from the fact that america america's economy is very important and also in the post-war era america's political leadership has been very important for maintaining things like that and the international order more to more broadly so it's a it's a very worrying time for people who are trying to keep that order up how old so that they can have open trade even between other countries because if one country especially one as significant as america begins to undermine that order then i think it undermines faith in a more broadly and i think that's the real worry if you're another country henrico
6:19 pm
from the economist in washington great talking to you thank you and you can take a deeper dive on the trade story with the counting the cost team this edition from just a couple of weeks ago looks at well the trade war with china but also as we've talked about with a whole bunch of other u.s. allies and no surprise the progresses from my guests there is not good to counting the cost it is in the show's section a down to zero call us versus the world wars that this is the world is what to look for well ok to thailand now where one of the divers helping with the cave risky of that youth football team has died the former navy seal lost consciousness on his way out of the cave he had been delivering the oxygen tanks to the twelve boys and their coach the latest now from scott hunter at the rescue site in china. so mancow don was a retired navy seal diver who was brought back to help with the operation to rescue the stranded football team and their coach he was part of the seal team with the british divers who found the boys' early friday morning he was ferrying air tanks
6:20 pm
deep in the cave he passed out under water a fellow diver pulled him out and attempted to resuscitate him he died from lack of oxygen his death underlines just how risky the conditions are it takes six hours to reach the boys and their coach and involves a series of complicated dives the effort to find another way to get them out is picking up pace by the drilling is ongoing on the western side of the mountain and aiming to east the location where the boys were found we can't yet pinpoint exactly cation using global positioning systems otherwise we could drill into the caves and bring them out. but another team is specifically focused on finding their location above ground using technology and equipment that can detect fault lines underground . to send and receive wife signals we can gather information that can be used to find the boys like cation in the cave from above the ground even with all the technology being deployed and the hundreds of rescuers working around the clock the
6:21 pm
biggest threat remains to be something that nobody has any control over the weather one heavy rainfall could undo days of work and the families continue their wait at the mouth of the cave hoping for a communication line with the boys and their coach to be completed it was supposed to be up and running days ago got hotter al-jazeera. so the sorra bit of the diver there and scott's report filming himself before he got on the plane to join the rescue team in chiang rai here's a little bit of what he actually said about bringing the boys home. i'm going to help support this mission we have a medic team a medical diving team from the navy traveling with us today we also have divers from sea world diving traveling with us and sponsoring a big set of equipment to use on this mission see you at tam lying in chiang rai may good luck be on our side to bring the boys back home it's really sad isn't it along with the luck though that he talks about they need the weather to play ball
6:22 pm
and update now from al-jazeera meteorologist richard engel the situation across much of thailand isn't too bad at the moment you see some showers close building up but generally most of the really heavy rain is still a coastal region in the bay of bengal region that's not to say we're not going to get showers in the area indeed as i run this forecasts are you can see shower clothes pushing across the region now having said that we're not certain as to where much of this water comes from whether is simply rain water coming down or whether water is finding its way through from the rivers upstream and working its way down through the mountains but certainly the risk of showers is that we're actually in quite a decent period of weather in terms of a lack of shower activity but soon as we get through into sunday and monday i think the risk of showers across the area will increase now i mention this on thursday as grid because you can't escape the comparisons here with the thirty three miners trapped in chile eight years ago they defied all the odds and two months on the ground to come out alive and now as we all watch this cave in thailand the miners are offering messages of support of there are now latin america editor the sierra
6:23 pm
newman reports. these days. tourists the sites where he and thirty two other chilean miners were trapped for seven seven hundred meters beneath the earth's surface. drama played out in front of the world's media eight years ago one by one the men were pulled to safety it would look like a space capsule it was dubbed the biggest rescue operation in history today can't help identify the twelve youngsters and their coach trapped nearly nineteen thousand kilometers away in thailand. stick together never give up hope stay calm god will see you through this that's what i want to tell them. frankly a professional football player before retiring and becoming a truck driver in the san jose mine where as fate would have it he too was trapped
6:24 pm
he's convinced the worst is over for the thai youngsters. i have faith that they'll be find their football players and give them mental physical. it certainly helped me. this psychologist to help the chilean miners while they were trapped says lessons learned from their experience can be applied in thailand. you can implant post-traumatic stress by reinforcing the idea that they lived a horrible experience by treating them like victims. above all i recommend that the youngsters be given daily tasks and allowed to turn their initial fear into a challenge and adventure at their age it's absolutely possible today what's left of the collapse stands as a symbol the chilean government's refusal against all odds to give up the search for the thirty three miners and their seemingly impossible extraction are seen by many as a turning point. it tend to signal the twenty first century technology combined
6:25 pm
with determination can deliver unexpected results. so those who survive the near tragedy here are convinced that the world will again witness and not the remarkable rescue of those trapped underground you see in human in the at the camera desert chile and at the risk of repeating myself because i showed you this last night as well go back and watch and see is edition of al-jazeera correspondent on the chilean miners it is a great watch she covered the event as it happened then went back to see the miners a year later and a lot had changed for them chilean miners still trapped it's from al-jazeera correspondent in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com now the future of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal is being discussed at a meeting of five major world powers in vienna foreign ministers from britain france china germany russia plus the european union are joined by john it's very full of iran the first time they've all come together since the u.s. controversially pulled out of the agreement earlier in the year european leaders
6:26 pm
are hoping an economic package would persuade iran to stick to the terms of the deal despite u.s. sanctions let's check in now in vienna jonah how covering events for us today what has come out of this meeting. come on i'm not sure that any major breakthrough has come out of this first meeting of the powers and iran since the u.s. withdrew from the nuclear deal there are bound i think to be more meetings like this yet to come you may recall that the five remaining world powers signatories to the deal said that they would uphold the deal as long as iran on a day its party iran said it would do so if they could protect and guarantee its interests essentially compensated for its losses as a result of new u.s. sanctions being reimposed from on woods as well as secondary sanctions threatened against anyone who continues to do business with iran well we had a statement here from frederick green of the e.u.'s foreign policy chief saying
6:27 pm
they were already committed to the deal they were all agree agreed to keep working on ways to allow business to continue with iran it was nothing particularly definitive nothing particular in particular for iran to chew on and of course the big question is can they in any case come up with a formula that fully compensates iran for its losses well the german foreign minister spoke to us a little earlier i come us admitted that that was not going to be possible but he said they were committed to keeping iran connected to the global economy keeping lines of investment to iran open this new body have to say this stuff steve this is what we will not be able to compensate for everything that arises from companies pulling out of iran which feel they're american businesses threatened by sanctions for companies which still want to invest we would like to keep payment options open and create securities with an extended mandate of the
6:28 pm
european investment due to the u.s. sanctions the situation has become difficult but we try to make clear to iran the completely abandoning the deal would cause even more harm to iran's economy and therefore i hope we will move a step further today by making it clear to iran that we will deliver as far as that is possible the u.s. is obviously not represented at this meeting but is there any talk or chatter about them or are these remaining pounds just happy to press on without the u.s. and make sure that the deal as it stands carries on. well it really got no choice in that kemal the u.s. is simply not a party to these talks it's not a party to the deal any longer and not only that it's threatening as i said sanctions against anybody who continues to do business with iran so in effect the u.s. actions are are absolutely aimed at tearing this deal down so they're having to continue on their own to try and keep it alive and to convince iran the other
6:29 pm
five powers of the benefit of staying in essentially that it is more to their benefit to stay in the deal than to leave even if they end up with a net loss as a result of these u.s. sanctions at least they end up with a net economic gain from position zero if you like so they're talking about keeping connected to the swift international banking system using the european investment bank to lend money to companies to shield those companies from e.u. sanction from u.s. sanctions rather governments perhaps putting money directly into the iranian central bank rather than using views in the commercial banking sector these are the sorts of things that are being discussed the iranians are not going vents mama jobs or if the foreign minister he was one of the key to go she did in the original deal praised his partners here for their will to resist the u.s. he said but he said the proposals were incomplete as they stood and of course the iranian president has also called them disappointing so i think there's still quite some way to go to keep this deal on the road to keep iran in the deal thanks. in
6:30 pm
vienna if you need to step back from the story at all remind yourself of the nuclear deal itself just how it came about how and why the u.s. draw this is a great place to stop there are news reports there are additions all the up front an inside story plus all the basic bullet points there on the deal the jays c.p.o. away the joint comprehensive plan of action as it is officially known it's a handy little primer it is cold understanding the iran deal let's what you search for al-jazeera dot com just a couple of quick comments before we hit the break could leave us in the united states who can understand what. going on with this trade war yasmeen said is this how we quote make america great again by fighting everyone and yemi has said this so-called trade war is senseless we can't seem to understand that no one wins in a trade war thank you for your comments to send in questions as well if you go in the questions on the actual news or for a correspondence on the stories we're covering we can fire them straight to our guests and correspondents as well as a.j. news but of course this is the news grid and if you with us on facebook live we've
6:31 pm
got a little bonus story for you now courtesy of a.j. plus it is about indian parents protesting against a new dress code for girls at the school and then light up putting up a fight so high court in israel puts a temporary stop to the destruction of palestinian homes in the occupied west bank . welcome back as we take a look at weather conditions across the levant and western parts of asia was to the few showers in the east but otherwise the main features a very hot weather across iraq certainly for busser we could well see temperatures again in excess of fifty degrees these aside the mediterranean generally weather conditions looking dry and fine be have got some really heavy showers across the caucasus where we've had some extremely hot weather in recent days record breaking conditions and i think some big storms may cool to cool things down but it could be
6:32 pm
some flash flooding associated with those moving down into the arabian peninsula it's pretty quiet here at the moment we've got to find conditions everywhere temperatures into low forty's forty five here in doha temperatures stuck around about the forty two forty three mark but with very high humidity moment with very light winds and then moving across into southern portions of africa where some showers for the from mozambique further south it's looking fine for much of cape town and northwards through the mid be a towards zambia and zimbabwe all looking dry and fine term which is nothing special really for this time of the year and then into central parts of africa a few showers across the central belt but it's west africa where we're seeing the bulk of the heavy showers and see the showers extending as far north as liberia guinea and guinea bissau. expelled from their base in jordan in lebanon last in the political. rebellion was
6:33 pm
rising in the ring solution imo but was this just another inevitable step on the road to this is a long story just for the conflict that would cost on assad his leadership and life . chronicling the term story and strong from constant. history of a revolution on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for the chance to live out of it but together because you have a lot of people that if i did political issues. with the people believed to tell the real stories i'll just mend it is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel in fear of a good audience across the globe. to
6:34 pm
head on for what's trending as well it's been a big story started. the former pakistani prime minister now as sharif sentenced to ten years in prison been waiting for that decision for quite some time more on the
6:35 pm
thai diver tragedy and the latest out of tehran as well have a look at all the stories we're covering and plenty more what's trending at al-jazeera dot com this friday. now israel's supreme court has suspended the demolition of some palestinian homes in the occupied west bank where you're going to go to ramallah and talk to charles stratford about this one has been covering it today hi charles talk us through this situation i mean it sounds like a win for the palestinians but maybe only a temporary one. it we're far away from any kind of win yet kemal as was made very clear today in the village yes there has been this temporary injunction put on this demolition of this village of it's called com one of a around twenty three bedouin villages in the occupied west bank. a temporary injunction put on it as a result of the p.a.
6:36 pm
the palace of palestinian all sorts last night submitting what they say is evidence that this village and this is the land around this village has been owned by palestinians since before the one nine hundred sixty seven occupation we spoke to residents down there one man who said that he had been born in the village in one thousand nine hundred fifty eight. others not dissimilar to him their families they brought up there he said that he moved there because of the the water in the area these are very poor people as well they have been denied access to water and electricity for decades by these rail is their school for example the school many of the children. was built using tires because the israelis blocked building materials being brought into the area now israel says that this village and around they twenty three others are in an area sales zone c.
6:37 pm
of the west bank the occupied west bank zones that were agreed upon an adjournment nine hundred ninety three oslo accords and it gives israel. administrative and security control of security in the zones now zone sic zone c. is around sixty two percent of the occupied west bank we spoke to the stuff about a guzzi a palestinian the leader of the palestinian national initiative and he said that if this injunction is broken and if indeed this demolition did go through then it would be indicative basically. of all these other villages in that area being demolished he said it had the potential to disarray ill any peace initiative. and would be an indication of what he described his ethnic cleansing. the court is due to reconvene on july the eleventh and all indications are so far that it still seems highly doubtful that there will be
6:38 pm
a victory for the palestinians of this village but certainly they say that it's going to take a lot more than any kind of supremes court ruling for them to leave ok live in ramallah there charles thank you just want to put this on the map really quickly as well to show you where we're talking about as we fly in and you look for. and actually there is a collection of villages there observed in one of them hala. but as we zoom back out again you see all these small as charles was saying bed when villages there which have been up for demolition in the occupied west bank ok let's bring in now who's going to take us back to i guess how we even got to this point of demolitions that's right now after news broke overnight that israel's supreme court granted a temporary suspension of the demolition of one hundred eighty palestinian better and homes in the village of qana some wasn't as was seen celebrating many say it's a symbol of resistance against the israeli occupation now team on the ground it's
6:39 pm
because some of the community that. we've lived here since jordan controlled the west bank and we have rented this place from the original owners who owned it before the state of israel existed we want to live in peace where do they want us to live we will not move from here will resist until we die. we have been afraid since the occupation of nine hundred sixty seven but this time the nightmare is so close it could destroy all the houses here during the last two days israeli forces arrested many people so we are worried now they might transfer us from this community to a small prison if we don't act with solidarity. and this case is getting a lot of attention online people are using the hash tag end the occupation and forcible transfer now forcible transfer refers to the destruction of the village that israel's government wants to demolish and forcibly relocates palestinians to a new side nearly twelve kilometers away next to
6:40 pm
a landfill that's the palestinian village of. now this is all part of an aim to make room for more illegal settlements to be built in the occupied west bank and these are just some of the videos that were shed online over the past couple of days but all those was seen on the ground clearing out the area with many people reportedly denied entry is already troops can be seen dragging and pushing villages away from the site and human rights activists reportedly formed a chain to block the demolition of palestinian homes and the number of residents reportedly injured as well with thirty five arrested by military personnel israel is facing growing international condemnation britain france germany italy and spain submitted complaints on thursday to the israeli government opposing the plan to raise cattle ahmar and turkey's foreign minister also said i quote these acts carried out by these where you authorities with impunity jeopardize the contiguous

and into independent palestinian state perspective. france's foreign minister also tweeted this statement saying the demolition of infrastructure and dwellings in the west bank goes against international humanitarian will now illegal settlements are one of the may just stumbling blocks for a two state solution the un special coordinator for the middle east peace process said last month that israel has taken no steps to seize settlement activities as demanded by the security council resolution two three four four he also noted that three thousand five hundred housing units in settlements in what is known as area see all the occupied west bank had either been advanced approved or tended between march and june this year we also have for maximum and the all the co-producer all the documentary killing gaza take a listen to what he had to say so israel plans to demolish the bedouin village of han on hamas not because of illegal bedouin construction like the israeli

authorities say but because it wants to clear the so-called e.u. one corridor of palestinians to allow the illegal settlement of kfar i don't mean to connect with the mega settlement of ma'ale adumim further consolidating the physical separation of the palestinian west bank from jerusalem denying palestinians a capital in jerusalem and putting a nail in the coffin of the palestinian state so this is about can't denies in the west bank and furthering the one state reality that israel has created on the ground while making life more miserable than it ever has been for the people in their way. well i do want to get your thoughts on the story so to connect with us is that aging is right thank you the french president emmanuel micron has reiterated his call for an end to the saudi led blockade against qatar has been amazing the emir of qatar and paris are crowned said france stands willing to help
6:43 pm
with mediation between the gulf countries and embargo against cutter by saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt began more than a year ago. you know it will take an initiative if it's asked of us but for now the role of france is to pursue the dialogue we're having with all parties and not isolate anyone or increase tensions we want to support stabilization in the region that is the role of france at the moment. i'd like to thank the president for the stance he's taken for a year now since the gulf crisis began he has always been by the side of katanas always pushed for dialogue between all the parties more from our correspondent is in paris. we've heard many political messages from the emir of qatar just to me but how about fanny and french president eman well. with her. expressing his sort of diety with the qatar is against the backdrop of the embargo imposed by saudi arabia
6:44 pm
the united arab emirates egypt qatar and also a commitment from both parties to move forward when it comes to consolidating political economic and military cooperation in december the time the notice and france signed a multi-billion dollar deal the deal comprises the qatar of a raw file fighter jets and also armed vehicles now france has also expressed in the past a desire to be able to get involved in the quietness and encourage all the parties to negotiate a political settlement but that is not likely to happen anytime soon we've heard reports about saudi arabia asking the french government to interfere and stop the pitch a silver s four hundred anti-aircraft missile system that qatar intends to buy from the ongoing tension and escalation is an indication that we're not likely to see
6:45 pm
any way out of the crisis in in the g.c.c. crisis but from a political perspective for qatar and its image here to me and how much that is the most important at this particular moment is to consolidate political relationships with key players in the players in the world to send a signal that qatar is breaking the embargo imposed imposed on it by saudi arabia and its allies over two years now since britain voted to leave european union and it's fair to say negotiations haven't gone so well now members of the u.k. cabinet meeting for what's being seen as a make or break talks within their own party to resume a government is divided over how to leave the e.u. with that march twenty ninth. line fast approaching it's understood she wants her team to agree on a plan to keep the u.k. aligned with the e.u. on trading rules for goods but not necessarily services and several cabinet members
6:46 pm
of argued for u.k. trade policies and standards to be completely changed which is what is called the so-called regs it here is nave barker in london to well i hope you can talk us through some of this because when i think about briggs that i get mightily confused marty quickly so can you take us through what they're actually trying to achieve today and what chances there are of it. right ok absolutely i'll try and inject a bit of enthusiasm to some of the technicalities of bragg's that we know so to reason may have talks about intensifying and upping the ante as it were with negotiations with brussels over breaks in problem is the british government has no united negotiating position over the key issue in breaks it talks that's all about trade so what she's done she's assembled all of her ministers at her official residence out in the countryside it's called checkers they seals in that building until at least ten o'clock in the evening to hammer out a deal on her latest proposal there's been two proposals in the past they've both
6:47 pm
failed and now she has a new one and it has a rather dull name but it has an important meaning it's called the facilitated customs arrangement let me explain what that means as part of that plan it would allow the u.k. to set its own custom tariffs on goods coming in to the united kingdom from elsewhere in the world think australia think the united kingdom this is exactly what the breck city is wanted because it would allow us here in the u.k. to be able to forge deals with various parts of the world unabated outside the confines of restrictive e.u. policy that's what the brics teams have been demanding at the same time goods destined for europe parsing through the u.k. would still be subject to e.u. tariffs the u.k. would collect those terrorists and simply hand them over to brussels there is also a key issue that the remain as have been really demanding and that's for degree of alignment with the e.u. going forward particularly when it comes to things like making sure that safety standards or quality standards are still in line with europe when the country
6:48 pm
leaves the european union later on there have been some divisions over whether or not this is a good plan david davis the u.k.'s reg sick secretary wrote a letter to to reason may describing the plan as a bad idea largely on the belief that he doesn't think the. the e.u. will buy that plan to collect our of some behalf of the european union going forward we know that within to reserve base cabinet some bricks it is themselves have met ahead of this meeting to work out a strategy going forward some a deeply concerned about having any alignment with the european union any policy that may well mirror what's going on in brussels going forward they're demanding a clean break but to resume a desperately needs progress she is and i think it's fair to say possibly anticipating some high profile resignations they haven't talked about extensively in the british media and she we also know that she may have a backup plan
6:49 pm
a possible reshuffle plan should simply be members of a cabinet decides to leave ok most importantly she wants unity and that's really something she struggled to gets so far though that ministers may be on the going to in check is until about ten o'clock local time in the evening we know that they've had to hand over their phones we know they've had to hand over their small watches to reason may want to keep firm control of what information comes out of that meeting she's hoping at the end of it all to come out and say we are united we have a plan ok they've bought in london thank you keep moving on you know you tubes you know you snapshots you know your instagram's do you know your tick tock it's a chinese video app and it's just been banned in indonesia has been looking at this one for us that's right it's a popular music and video app based in china but the government of indonesia has banned tech talk citing what it calls pornographic and blasphemous content on its
6:50 pm
path form that are to say that they will only unblocked the app if it's compliance with their demands for change talk especially popular among young people the app allows users to create sixty second music videos with various types of music and the background well indonesia's communication minister says that the ban is temporary. and he has got this quote for us where he said i have only two requests number one clean up existing next of content and second we have to get some sort of assurance for the future that there won't be any negative content or local rights groups are demanding that the age limit to access to talk be raised from twelve to sixteen but they want such material removed from its content well and from the child protection watch says that it so far to open and this gives opportunities for people with bad intentions like paedophiles rapists and child traffickers people
6:51 pm
with bad intentions always look for a way while these children only think about the fun they have they don't think about the consequences well the company managing the tech talk app in indonesia has promised to meet the demand to raise the age limit to sixteen and they're also looking to hire two hundred of what it calls content moderators now this isn't the first time the app has come under fire cyber security experts have been outraged at the lack of private settings on the app this comes after an investigation of the cea found that hundreds of children in hong kong as young as nine had their identities exposed on the platform and this all comes as indonesia looks to impose a broader control of continental content online and last year the government threatened to block facebook's whatsapp messenger unless such and gif images provided by third parties were removed. for you to thank you so much for there once again for the crew watching on forsberg live your bouts of the story of how venezuelans are coping with economic collapse in their country and the virus here
