Turkey gets its 1st in the body of a russian made Missile System despite concerns from its allies. Hello and welcome to aljazeera live from my headquarters in doha with me in the water also ahead. 120 people over 40 killed and 48 hours a serious army and its allies. But the last rebel stronghold. South korea calls for an International Investigation as it fights japanese allegations of breaking sanctions. And a single currency for all of west africa is now closer than ever when look at some of the challenges its facing. Russian cargo planes have begun delivering a controversial Missile System to turkey and turkeys allies arent happy about it the 1st shipment of the s 400 air Defense System has been flown into a military airfield an anchor a turkeys expected delivery of more parts over the next few days the launch vehicles can each carry 4 long range missiles the u. S. Had warned that it could cancel an f. 3055. 00 digit deal if turkey took the livery of the missiles. Well the s 400 will give turkey a significant advantage over its neighbors in terms of air cover the systems missiles can simultaneously track and destroy incoming targets up to 400 kilometers away the u. S. Is concerned that turkeys s 400 purchase will compromise the security of its f. 35 jets the Stealth Fighter is the backbone of the u. S. And nato is future air power to the already bought for and wants another 116 but the u. S. Believes that russia may use the s 400 system to connect Sensitive Data about the f. 35 now our correspondent Natasha Butler is tracking reaction from nato well go live to her after we speak to them course the owner whose life was in istanbul plenty of concerns at c. N. N. But to be receiving this Defense System that it says it just couldnt acquire from anyone else. Willows of earth actually the this is this is the argument of turkey because the story began after the Syrian Crisis erupted in 2011 in 2013 nato allies including the us have stayed is stationed. To turkeys southern cities because turkey was receiving threats from syria but when it when it came to 2015 the nato allies decided to would throw those missiles that the threat for turkey was finished however for turkey the basic threat from syria is the kurdish Fighters Group the wipe e. G. Which turkey sees as the branch of the output of Kurdistan Workers Party the p. K. K. So turkey says i still have threats and then turkey wanted to buy patrie missiles from United States however it was rejected this. The was rejected by the us and then turkey went to china and turkey opened. Open its markets there was but the china deal was also cancelled because of us intervention because they had to sized both china and the us had some Cyber Security issues at the time and then turkey went to russia for as for hundreds the deal was cheaper plus the delivery it was earlier which was suitable for turkey and the talks at the s 400. 00 talks with the russians again in 2016 and 2. 00 sides sealed the deal in december 2017 however the us sent their offer szells. Sales offer for patrick turkey in early 2019 so thats why now turkey says i want to buy from you those missiles but you didnt even respond to me and the offer that you sent was early 2900. 00 and it was much more expensive then theres 400. 00 plus the s. 400. 00 are technically better this is what the turks argue also present put in. Reminded a couple of weeks earlier that turkey and russia will be joint to producing the next generation of the Missile System which is asked 502. 00 can see that as a benefit to establish and diversify its all National Air Defense capacity as it is now having problems and receiving threats from both syria and in Eastern Mediterranean these days or it said and thank you for that the view from turkey said in course you are in istanbul lets go to Natasha Butler who is joining us live from the french capital the u. S. Have been vocal about their concerns over this day in atocha but what about turkeys other nato allies. Yes well we havent had much reaction from nato but we have managed to get a hold of a short statement from a nato official and in the statement the nato official says the nato is nato members are of course free to buy the military equipment that they wish to buy but the nato does have some concerns over turkeys decision to buy this s. 400 system because nato members should have military equipment and systems that are compatible now that of course is what the United States is saying its saying that this s. 400. 00 system is incompatible with the the f. 35. 00 jets also that it could be used to gather intelligence on the u. S. And on the jets and its worth noting that this puts nato in a very uncomfortable position because of course you dont know they to turkey is a big nato member but a nato is set up one of his very missions is in order to try and protect its members from russian encroaching. Natasha thank you for that that is the taj live in paris. Were going to move on to other news now in about 120 rebel fighters than soldiers have been killed in northwestern syria where the army and its russian allies are pushing into the last opposition held territory that figures from the u. K. Based syrian observatory for human rights which gets information from activists within the country now the rebels still control most of the province and northern parts of neighboring Hama Province government and russian warplanes have been bombarding adlib since april despite a deal to avert such an offensive the fighting has killed 120 soldiers and rebels over the past 48 hours here in how mamiya village is the government rescued back control from the opposition further north in the town of just who strikes are reported to have killed 6 civilians including a child and in the past few days Turkish Backed rebels have been increasing their attacks on army positions in the government stronghold of the talk here that province is home to a Large Russian base zain ha there has this update from beirut in neighboring lebanon. It has been a costly and difficult to hold the Syrian Government offensive in northwest syria has not been easy even though that they have backing from the russians they havent been able to make any significant profit progress on the ground in fact the Syrian Government and its allies have been finding themselves that defending their own territory because the rebels have been on the offensive making it very very difficult for the government to gain ground the government was hoping to push the rebels further north and recapture international highways in order for it to revive trade between the cities under its control and theyve not been able to do that theyve lost hundreds of men both sides have lost. There are no official figures but according to the syrian observatory for human rights the government lost almost 900 men and the rebel side theyve lost almost 1000 men so a very costly operation with little games instead what the government has been doing is targeting opposition controlled towns in southern and live in northern hama and over 500 civilians have been killed russia and turkey hold the key to what happens next in and its a proxy war between these 2 countries now even though they should be working together as part of the past in a process instead theyre using it as a bargaining chip and another actor or another member of the ass in the process iran is involved as well turkey and russia still do not have any agreement on how they want to divide Northern Syria and iran and russia still have no agreement on the role in post conflict syria so these 3 countries will have to make a decision on how theyre going to divide the spoils before any deal can be reached we have to bear in mind the fact that iran didnt deploy any foot soldiers really does not help the Syrian Government in the war effort so a stalemate 11 weeks of fighting hundreds of men have been lost on both sides. China has been these figures showing its and bullets from the u. S. Have plunged in the past year and this exports. 2 america down 2 amid the countrys trade war but china says its trade surplus with the u. S. Continues to rise and that imbalance is at the heart of Donald Trumps assertion that chinas engaged in unfair trade practices when haiti has more from beijing. Some fairly negative numbers released by the government in beijing but no sign of panic of course from the customs it ministration they are saying that yes the trade dispute with the United States is having an effect but that it is manageable so what we have is that for the month of june exports from china to war countries dropped by 1. 3 percent compared with the same period a year ago concerning in that if we go back to the month of may they grew by 1 point one percent on the Positive Side most experts were forecasting that those numbers for june would be worse than what they are this all happening of course amid a truce in the trade war between china and the United States tariffs are not being placed on each others goods as agreed between the 2 leaders after they met on the sidelines of the g 20 summit in japan last month but some numbers to one pick here for the u. S. President donald trump has long complained of unfair trade practices by the chinese and the fact that the United States has a large trade deficit with china even though exports from china to the United States are down the trade surplus that the chinese have with the United States grew in the month of june to almost 30000000000. 00 so no doubt that will be discussed if those negotiations face to face negotiations do restart as expected possibly in china within the next couple of weeks one of the most concerning numbers for the overall chinese economy to be released is that imports from all countries a down 7. 3 percent and that is being blamed on weak domestic demand. Japan and south korea have held talks to resolve a worsening trade dispute tokyo has restricted the export of materials used in manufacturing smartphones and memory chips to seoul raising concerns for the south korean economy and the global tech supply chain jeff anees officials said the restrictions of because south korea is failing to control the export of sensitive materials to north korea sol has denied that demand the evidence at a u. N. Investigation found the salami has the latest from tokyo its not so good news to the south korean makers todays meeting basically it was just briefing by both countries on their position. Announced at the end of this meeting which ended in behind me in the trade Ministry Today they say that this meeting is basically not a negotiating meeting its just to explain. Stance on this issue and in fact. This meeting it was a working level but it was a very small working level meeting just 2 south korean officials met with 2 counterparts from the japanese
