Hello welcome to our jazeera life and. That is also coming up. We are not going to let the United States speech taken advantage of anymore. I am always going to put America First. Tough talk from the u. S. President to apec leaders meeting in vietnam. Take a look at the Living Conditions of refugees abandoned by australia and why their health is at risk. From the u. A. E. Ambassador to the u. S. Appeared to show a plan to destabilize katters economy. Saudi arabia kuwait and bahrain are urging their citizens to leave lebanon immediately well the u. A. E. Has placed a travel ban on the country now this is the latest in escalating tensions between saudi arabia and iran thats fueling a political crisis in lebanon the french president and manual macro meanwhile has made a surprise visit to riyadh to have talks with crown Prince Mohammed bin. President macro confirmed that he has had informal contact with lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri who is currently in the saudi capital now the president said he emphasized the import. So stability in lebanon. I shant comment on the decision of lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri resigning but its in our common interests to guarantee the stability and security of lebanon and therefore i hope lebanon remains a strong state with strong institutions and i hope it will have a new government as soon as possible and engage in a new election process well now mr hariri his Political Party the future movement is demanding that haiti return to beirut immediately it says it hasnt heard from him since saturday that of course is when he resigned in a broadcast from riyadh saying that he feared for his life well its been six days since that resignation and fears and now growing the mr hariri is being held in riyadh against his will. Live now does in a holder our correspondent whos in the lebanese capital beirut and so mr hariri his whereabouts in central really to this drama that seems to be taking a different turn almost every day what is the latest as to read as to where he is and what hes doing. Well what we understand is that the president of the country believes the Prime Minister is under house arrest in saudi arabia the president has been Holding Contacts with foreign dignitaries ambassadors from the five permanent members of the u. N. Security council he is meeting the saudi sharjah the fare in lebanon as we speak hes also going to meet other arab embassadors he has also sent to the head of the general security to france to try to seek assistance to find out about the whereabouts of saddam how to his well being and whether or not he can come back to lebanon and this is really this has been a question why hasnt he returned to lebanon his office over the past few days have been issuing statements saying he has been meeting foreign dignitaries we saw last saw him on tuesday in abu dhabi but his own Political Party said just thing and implying yesterday that in one way or another the Prime Minister is being held against his will his Political Party saying that the Prime Minister needs to return to lebanon immediately for the sake of National Unity for the sake of stability and in another Major Development zana weve got gulf countries saudi arabia bahrain and now kuwait urging all of their citizens to leave lebanon immediately ratcheting up the tension. Well yes statements like this of course heightens tensions but it is not the first time theyve issued statements like this lebanon has always been the battleground of the saudi iranian rivalry across the region now saudi arabia has decided to put lebanon in the center stage of this rivalry so these statements are not new but undoubtedly people here are worried because this is a blow to the economy its a blow to tourism and people are worried that the knesset next steps are going to be even worse that saudi arabia may impose some sanctions on this Country Economic pressure financial pressure pressure the lebanese the tens of thousands of lebanese who work in the kingdom and who work in other countries in the gulf send them back home not allow them to send money there would be no investments in lebanon and this is the real fear in the country this economic pressure theres also talk about a military action by israel because you see saudi arabia is not only trying to curb hezbollah wants to curb irans influence in the region and it is getting support from the United States as well as israel so people are worried when they hear statements like this that this is just the beginning and you mentioned another of the key issues in this whole crisis and that is the perception of influence increased influence on the part of hezbollah based on the political front and indeed its military machine what does hezbollah had to say for itself. Well hezbollah has always been defiant saying that its arms is necessary for the protection and security of lebanon it has also resisted calls for many years to pull its forces from syria because its forces are fighting alongside the syrian president Bashar Al Assads forces its arms really has been a source of tension there have been attempts to curb as well as influence many times in the past and they have all failed they have been un resolutions so hezbollah very much defiant but at the same time we heard from the secretary general just a few days ago saying that hezbollah will avoid political escalation for the time being and that hezbollah is worried about the face of the Prime Minister almost portraying him as a victim and not as a political opponent the secretary general will be giving a televised address in a few hours from now so we will get more information on what the what has believes is the next steps but like i mentioned this is not the first time they tried to curb hezbollahs influence and past attempts have failed all right for now say no thank you zain hard to live in beirut the president has warned of unfed global trade policies at the apec summit in vietnam he told leaders he wont let the u. S. Be taken advantage of mr trump says he wont tolerate unfair trade and trade deals but insists he still wants strong relationships with apec countries we have been friends partners. In the indopacific for a long long time. And we will be friends partners and allies for a long time to come i am here to offer a renewed partnership with america to Work Together to strengthen the bonds of friendship and commerce between all of the nations of the indopacific and together to promote our prosperity and security at the core of this partnership we seek robust trade relationships rooted in the principles of fairness and reciprocity well meanwhile the chinese president xi jinping described globalization as an irreversible historical trend completely in contrast to President Trumps America First speech president xi called on asia pacific leaders to improve existing multilateral Trading Systems so tomorrow you have so you any we should build an open Asia Pacific Economy and promote trade and investment liberalization facilitation we should make economic globalization more open inclusive and balanced so that it can benefit Different Countries and people of different social groups we should support the multilateral trading regime and practice open regionalism to allow developing members to benefit more from International Trade and investment wayne hayes our correspondent at the apec summit in dun eyeing in vietnam and wayne its interesting isnt it just a couple of days away from the warm words that will being exchanged in china and now the barbs are out even though china hasnt been named we know that china is the villain as far as president President Trump is concerned. Yes i think he left absolutely no doubt in that speech which lasted about thirty minutes that he was really talking about china when he talked about intellectual property theft when he talked about currency manipulation and things like that that he was talking about china even though he didnt mention china itself and also repeated a comment that he made while he was in beijing over the last couple of days for that state visit meeting with his chinese counterpart counterpart xi jinping that he didnt blame the other countries talking generally not just about china but about the rest of the asia pacific countries he didnt blame them for taking advantage of the United States in terms of selling its goods into the United States perhaps at a cheaper rate then they should he said that really it was the fault of previous administrations in the United States for signing bad trade deals which he says is now coming to an end he doesnt want any part of large multilateral trade deals he repeated that again saying that he wants to sign good bilateral trade deals with the member nations of a pic and wayne talking of bilateral is what also is interesting about getting this number of World Leaders together of course is what goes on on the sidelines of the official. The official agenda weve got a china and south korea summit taking place or should be very interesting not to mention possibly a putin trump meeting. Yes exactly now the real work begins really the leaders statement sort of set the tone if you like and then they go behind closed doors where the real deals will be made if indeed any deals are to be made to be made yes continued speculation around a meeting on the sidelines between blood amir putin and donald trump there is another statement that has come out from a kremlin spokesman saying that the meeting again will take place one way or another was the wording they used but that they were getting conflicting messages coming from the United States government about whether that meeting will indeed take place and on saturday there will be a bilateral meeting between mungy in the president of south korea and the chinese president xi jinping obviously ties between those two countries have been severely strained over the last few months because of the situation on the Korean Peninsula and specifically because the south korean government when j. And went ahead with the full deployment of a United States anti Missile System which is being placed on south korean soil the chinese are strongly opposed to that system because they believe it can be used by the United States as an offensive Weapon System to spy on china so as a result of that tension weve seen boycotts of south korean products in china weve seen chinese tourist stop going to south korea so that is a situation obviously that both countries want to see resolved right wayne thank you for that wayne hay live at the apec summit in vietnam. Now australias immigration minister has blamed refugees who refuse to leave the closed manis island prison camp for the deteriorating conditions that theyre living in the australian run camp in Papua New Guinea was closed last month and power water and Food Supplies were cut off but around six hundred refugees remain inside saying that they fear for they say their safety if they leave the refugees plies has sparked protests in melbourne and Sydney Australia as immigration minister accuses the refugees themselves ok trashing the camp. People have done a great deal of damage it seems to me by some of the photos of trashed the accommodation and as was pointed out theres new accommodation purpose built been open for a couple of years. Now and for months that this indict was coming up in really the conditions we see in the photographs to die dont resemble at all the conditions in which part of their living over a long period of time that aid workers warned that the madness island camp is becoming so unsanitary that refugees a lot needed gum sick or even die peter shot reports on the conditions the refugees are living in. These pictures of conditions inside the prison camp on popular new guinea are the first to show how conditions have deteriorated since authorities officially shut it down the video gives an indication of what life is like for the refugees now that the power and the water have been cut off course to turn it back gone from a spar away is the United Nations have been ignored this is home for nearly six hundred men who came from war ravaged countries across asia and the middle east refugees from my mom afghanistan and iraq Asylum Seekers from iran in sri lanka the shared dream was to reach australia but this is where theyve ended up. Confined to a squalid abandoned naval base rainwater collected in rubbish bins because of their thin ice and you know. They felt the place. To fall through many problems that it got very you know because i. Was flown to Papua New Guinea on a straight on air force transports canberra has steadfastly refused to accept anyone who tried to reach the country by boat for four years australia has paid Papua New Guinea to house the Asylum Seekers but the Detention Center was ordered shut up in new Guinea Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to host such a camp but the men fearful of threats from local residents say they would prefer this existence and shelter in towns where they dont feel safe and aid workers have little faith in the military and police ability to protect them my fear. In this is something that if you have to look at. My. Course i know our police force i know. We owe. You know this is the problem aid workers believe the Security Forces plan to move the refugees out of the camp in the next few days by force if necessary to shop aljazeera. Including the u. S. Calls on saudi arabia to immediately end its blockade that could starve a country blocks. Only ten minutes away by boat from jakarta and these villages here are drowning because of the effect of Global Warming im satisfied from reporting from the past in west. Had a tropical depression that left the philippines is still the most active feature surprisingly that seen from space but its still relatively small in extent as big massive white top clouds just south of singapore of sumatra trying to touch java and that actually is the area i think we will see most of the rain sumatra peninsula malaysia maybe singapore which has been a lot of the case the last week or so at the same time about my head you see that the circulation of that little depression is more or less dissipated but it is heading for the vietnamese coast heavy showers can be expected in borneo maybe sort of way sea as seen on the western side of java in addition. Now in australia things are a little bit more settled and they were still a cloud around the potential for thunderstorms exist but things are moving a little bit more slowly so youve got time for temperatures to rise or to fall steadily now and then luckily rising thirty one is the more or less humid in cloudy picture in adelaide twenty six and melbourne youve got good weather i think the sun should be above your heads and even in sydney at twenty one it should feel fine but the coast of queensland looking a little bit rough for the breeze but all this time perth has been enjoying briefly a drift of weather wind from the north warmish twenty seven but bright sunny.

President trump has told apec members in vietnam that he wont let the United States be taken advantage of in global trade but chinas president xi jinping says asia pacific leaders miss what to improve a multilateral trading system. Ok we can now talk to song saying one whos a regional economist at cia m b. Private banking hes joining us from singapore thank you very much for talking to us it seems very much as though the worlds two most powerful men or those in charge at least of the two biggest economies in the world completely opposite ends of the scale when it comes to seeing global trade in the future. They could have at this juncture one of the big. One you know. We obviously aid it was great but it was. So that. We were going to be. Churning out being impulsive. Theyve seen it but they so. Basically it was the. Become and trade center say or in the case of also being bill but one or all one year later. This. Month and it looks like. Thanks we will also the markets back a lot of the best and this is a year that the patient and indeed so at the same type of china know. Well you know were not the evil. Person. That welcome president its so and its close now on paper so. We could be if we did all eight in im afraid im going to have to jump in there song sang one because the quality of our connection is so poor that is really hard to make out exactly what youre saying were going to try and reconnect with you if you can just stay where you are thank you for now as i say were trying to come back to you and try and get a better more stable line but in the meantime lets have a look at some other news in the global leagues website has released what appears to be a plan by the United Arab Emirates to destabilize catheters economy and jeopardize its hosting of the twenty twenty two football world cup now the plan was found in hacked emails belonging to the amorality ambassador to the u. S. Use of attire an official report from washington. You use colorful and controversial ambassador to the u. S. Use of allah tiber has been at the center of leak controversies in the past in recent months it was claimed the u. A. E. Paid influential think tanks to back their worldview in washington according to a series of leaked emails now its alleged an elaborate overly ambitious plan to wage financial an economic war in qatar through bond and debt manipulation has reportedly been found on his computer according to the website the intercept they would then take these these bonds according to the plan and swap them back and forth among parties who from the outside look like theyre independent but are actually the same people as like me and youre trading a bond back and forth and that creates an illusion of volatility and with people aware that there is this political crisis going on then they plan as they see this enhanced volatility and traders start to panic and say oh my god something must be going on here we need to sell our own our own could tare debt which drives the price down further the outline for the plan was allegedly drawn up by the private Bank Havilland although its based in luxembourg its owned by a british banking family with close ties to the u. A. E. The ultimate goal create a crisis which would force the qataris to step in to support their currency draining the countrys cash reserves through these leaks the narrative in washington has changed from what was considered primarily to be. The response of Qatari Foreign policy to now a manufactured crisis by the other party to the conflict the u. A. E. And saudi arabia lead a group of mainly gulf nations which have imposed a partial blockade and cut off diplomatic relations to Qatar International efforts to broker a settlement have come to nothing the scheme to interfere with the debt and bond market was always unlikely to succeed there are just too many variables to know its been made public the Financial Markets will be watching more closely for any attempt at manipulation alan fischer washington. The u. S. Has joined the u. N. And more than twenty aid groups to appeal to saudi arabia to end its blockade of yemen humanitarian groups wound up more than twenty Million People are in need of food and fuel prices rise drastically they warn that mass starvation could be weeks away hannah hooks. Its difficult to understand that this is what humans can do to each other. Millions of people face famine and theyre in desperate need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Now the u. S. Has backed aid agencies in calling for more to be done to alleviate the situation weve seen tremendous few Food Shortages in yemen weve talked about how this is really a manmade situation there the announcement that the ports were being closed down or limited in terms of some of the supplies is an area thats of concern to us because the yemeni people are not the ones at fault for their situation we would like to see food aid medical equipment and all of that be able to brought be brought in to the ports saudi arabia has stepped up a land and sea blockade on yemen after a Ballistic Missile was hard towards the capital riyadh on saturday. Before the blockade more than twenty Million People without sleep or two thirds of the population needed humanitarian assistance now nearly hofner like completely on food aid to survive. The country is experiencing a cholera epidemic which is expected to affect one Million People by the end of the year aid agencies say theyre struggling to work inside the country it takes from from one town to another we have to almost go through one hundred checkpoints this is a man made disaster and there is no humanitarian solution to this were asking for parties to come together to find a solution desperate which is desperately needed for the people of yemen its becoming increasingly difficult for people to get their hands on vital commodities with prices of petrol cooking or rising by as much as fifty percent in a week. And so far as closing down the ports and borders these are war crimes in the first degree the longer yemen sit empty the longer the suffering will continue. All right were going to try and link with singapore again song saying one is there thank you for holding on and trying again and we were just about to try to get your thoughts as to where you think global trade is heading given that donald trump is America First and really pushing for bilateral trade and president xi of china is talking about globalization being the feature. Indeed it might look like theyre saying and but i think. That the way this problem is running the presidency will make it want to be seen to be courage or cracking investment whats it so so even economies are playing by the. Book so you say or answer is that we well i think also what. The. Trade i think all seeing the progress made on Transpacific Partnership with them meaning. As well i mean the thing about now its all happening you need a lot also i think to take advantage of the u. S. Economys growing as well why does economy. Well and the same time there is one top of the world as well so if you need to track i think going parallel. All right song saying one thank you very much indeed for bearing with us here at out there thank you.
