Serious consequences for their economy for the World Economy and they dont want to see that happening so i think on the one hand the iranians are playing to see that we are Strong Enough to take to where we are to retaliate against the seizure of our ships but on the other hand they are but our consequences for such actions as is said losing friends in europe and all of our thoughts and i think now we believe that even the chinese might be supporting the u. S. Efforts in order to establish a coalition of the willing in order to protect the freedom of navigation and pursuit i was going to say because this is paramount for pretty much everyone in the world the freedom of navigation but coming back to the issue that we regularly discuss when were talking about tensions in the gulf and that is the increased militarization of the region which is as were hearing on mr on and on a daily basis is increasing which obviously increases the risk of an unintentional conflict. Absolutely i mean. Well or not when you bring so many troops and so many military hardware to get to it to a need for a new vision actually you are increasing the risk of confrontation and the tension is already high between the iranians and the americans and there were some allies but on the other hand i think both are trying to take a very calculated risk here and dont forget also that jawad zarif the Iranian Foreign minister hes in new york and hes meeting with u. S. Congressman we know that he met with iran ball. On board hes a hes a u. S. Senator he met with jawad saif and he took the green light from president tom so there is a window for diplomacy here. Alongside the military buildup in the region. Thank you absolutely thank you very much.

For the 1st time since independence pakistan had merged their tribal area after an act of parliament were brought endorsed by over 2 thirds of majority where then the parliament the political party. The people of the driver had been demanding that they should be merged with the rest of the country did write a bridge of fraud or trouble after the u. S. Led invasion of afghanistan when many fighting group the Islamic Movement of a break its gone the Afghan Taliban al qaida all came across the border and then used this staging ground against the u. S. Led Coalition Forces however a lot more decided by an act of parliament that the tribal area and really be merged into pakistan that they will have the same course the Security Forces as. Entrapment are available to the rest of the province for a long standing there martin but for the for. The people of their tribal area they are taking part in an election. Members who will be representing them in the provincial parliament of the type of walk indeed a major step as far as pakistan is concerned do include the tribal population where the mainstream population of pockets on the 10s of thousands of people are expected to march to the ukase palm and hoping to persuade the next Prime Minister into staying in the European Union and go live now to our correspondent in the dean and the dean Hyde Park Corner it would appear and thats where the mosque is expected to begin. Thats right fairly shortly the crowds are expected to move off im actually on park lane theyll be heading towards Parliament Square further speeches later on the traditional routes and we have seen many of these e. U. Marches over the last year the last 2 are calling for a referendum on treason males brought to reason that deal gathered up to a 1000000 people the numbers are expected to be smaller today but people are now extremely concerned about the prospects as he was saying all of Boris Johnson becoming the next conservative leader and hence the new british Prime Minister and he has promised to take britain ounce of the e. U. At the end of october come what may meaning if it needs be without a deal or no deal bracks its something thats alarming to many people here theres a Campaign Group called best for britain involved theres also the n. H. S. National health service. For a peoples vote theyre worried about the effect the breaks it might have on Staffing Levels and the General Service that the likelihood of a no deal breaks that some people say is actually diminished in the last few days youve had a vote in the house of commons which are effectively stops the next Prime Minister believed to be Boris Johnson suspending parliament so effectively crushed britain out of the e. U. With a no deal there were rebellions by people like Philip Hammond the chancellor of the exchequer theyre prepared in his case at least to vote against the government even know if votes of no confidence to stop a no deal brett sort of a nerve also been hints from brussels that they might offer the next Prime Minister what theyre calling a technical delay for more time for negotiations but these people still very concerned that britain could by default crash out of the European Union all right thank you for that. Today. The physical therapy or physio therapy is considered a luxury in the theatre here there are very few therapists available to treat the 10s of millions of people there and even then not all of them a qualified they are Holding Reports from the capital other. Rebecca nya dec lost her legs in a land mine explosion shes a refugee from south sudan and was sent to add as a buffer physical therapy treatment now after 2 years shes learning to walk again but when we came to ethiopia they welcomed us we came because of the crisis now were waiting to learn how to use these artificial limbs this is the 2nd time for me to come here. Ethiopias physical Therapy Program is just Getting Started and the demand is staggering with an estimated 105000000 people in the country there are only 7000 doctors a physical therapy but will give an example here was one of the 1st the hands of program started in 2002 in going to remember i was among. The students to enroll into this program and after 10 years or in it took them down to the stockton program i was also there for us to go to this program so for sure i feel like playing at the school fish and 3 doctors a physical therapy work at this clinic in alice abbott and treat patients like rebecca others are scattered across the country as of now theyre graduates from the 1st and only doctor class in ethiopia Mohammed Hussein is another patient he had a stroke and relies on his rehab to move again. Who thought. I suffer from this and was shocked when i found out there was physical therapy here i thought it was a luxury not this i feel awful thats one. Of the services here are free paid for by the government but when we visited there were a few patients getting help at the clinic. One of the Biggest Challenges with physical therapy in ethiopia is lack of awareness most people dont even know that facilities like this exists but even if they did there still arent enough therapists to treat everyone and this is a misconception that existed in most parts of you know county because not only physical therapy even as a hoarder have to consider. Some of the physically disabled are often reduced to begging at times relying on their disability to make money even though ethiopias physical Therapy Program is relatively new its still more developed than in neighboring countries many patients from south sudan sudan and eritrea rely on the facilities here to gain their life back for rebecca her new legs mean she can get around in the refugee camp where she lives part of her treatment is learning how to walk on an even ground similar to the surfaces in the camp during the time when i didnt have these legs i was just sitting at home with no place to go because i had no mobility progress on a National Level is slow going but for patients here it comes one step at a time leah harding aljazeera at us africa.

Is telling all british ships to avoid the strait of hormuz for an interim period the warning comes after iran seized a british line to oil tanker in the strait on friday tehran says it was involved in an accident with a fishing boat before being detained france and germany a calling on iran to release the vessel. Explains what happened according to tehran. The british vessel came in contact with a small fishing boat and there was a minor accident and when the local authorities in the province tried to contact the crewmembers on board this vessel there was no response this is when they called the revolutionary guard patrolling the area to come to their aid and when the revolutionary guard got there they decided to take this vessel to a band there of us which is the closest port city to them and they say that the incident took place because this vessel violated any number of maritime laws one being that they were travelling in the wrong maritime direction 2nd that they had turned off all their g.

A world war 2 trade is a trade dispute in 2019 japan and south korea remain at loggerheads over the forced labor controversy of more than 70 years ago so why has it come to the fore now and how can it be resolved this is insight story. And welcome to the program im fully back to a rift is deepening between south korea and japan over what happened during the 2nd world war japan as occupiers of the Korean Peninsula force koreans into work the issue has always stirred up deep emotions but tension has recently escalated a south korean man set himself on fire outside the Japanese Embassy in seoul on friday his death followed japans ban on some aches forced to south korea imposed after a court ruled that japanese firms should compensate the victims of forced labor japans foreign minister summoned the south Korean Ambassador when seoul rejected a proposal for arbitration with a 3rd country. Its very regrettable that an arbitrator or 3rd country arbitration has not been set up in addition i strongly urge the south korean government to take immediate steps to correct this by a leason of International Law that drew a strong response from south korea. It was japan who violated International Laws by committing on humanitarian illegal acts a Supreme Court ruling pointed out that funds japan has continued to demand a resolution of this issue through operations to settle problems concerning property in claims but we never agreed with the unilateral deadline set by japan. So how did we get here well relations between the 2 countries have been fractious for decades since japan occupied the Korean Peninsula between 1911945 but things came to a head last year in october south koreas top Court OrderedJapanese Companies to compensate koreans who were forced to work for japanese occupies during world war 2 japan said the issue had already been settled under a 965 treaty n threatened visa restrictions in tariffs then this month japan restricted exports of 3 chemicals vital to south koreas Electronics Industry citing National Security concerns so far so hasnt taken any Counter Measures saying it would raise a dispute with the World Trade Organization but some koreans are taking the matter into their own hands and boycotting japanese products. Well lets bring in our guest now for todays inside story joining us by skype from tokyo is Tomohiko Taniguchi who is a special advisor to the cabinet of japanese Prime Minister shinzo bear in Hong Kong Robert kept director of the Economist Corporate Network and by skype from stuttgart in germany cmon coup is a publisher of the korean expose an online news magazine that focuses on contemporary south korea welcome to the program gentlemen thank you so much for being with us mr taniguchi if i could start with you in tokyo japan said its restricting exports of soft korea because of National Security what exactly are japans consequence certains and what is at the core of this dispute. These 3 materials that you cited are extremely important because they are potentially going to be used for dual purposes one civilian another military given the sensitivity south korea and tokyo have made consultation mechanism at work but one has to say that the hasty fashion that the south korean. Customers use the japanese to provide them with materials ending up with a new breaching of the regime that we are all after i mean the south korea and japan are after and consists arguably a source of security concerns as you mention mrs on who she is a japanese moved to rest 6 exports from south korea not retaliation for the south korean course ruling that allowed access of Japanese Companies to be seas and used to compensate victims of the wartime forced labor is that not retaliation these 2 completely separate issues because the export control regime is strictly and the japanese government decisions and it is as a result by nature of domestic decision as has been the case with many other exporters exporting some sensitive materials materials to other countries such as south korea ok lets hear from c. One cor in short got mr taniguchi says the japanese move is a separate issue he has nothing to do with the Court Rulings in south korea would you agree with that what the pens the tensions outside south korea is concerned. Well this is i mean the line that we have heard from the administer russians or. The export restriction has nothing to do wed be developing in south korea or one Japanese Company should do when we got to compensating victims or forced laborers during the colonial period as far as the government in seoul is concerned and this far as the public is concerned these 2 are completely related netters and the timing is most extraordinary in fact a measure has taken the government is owed play by surprise and we have not really seen any official metrical in the government yet but of course situation only gets worse by today and unfortunately the damage to the right of relations is going to be quite extraordinary japans position is that the issue of compensation was addressing the 1965 treaty that normalize relations between the 2 country and so japan already gave millions hundreds of millions in aids and knowns to south korea why is it coming to the fore now what is that issue for south korea. We have to accept that there has been a significant change on the great Political Landscape 2 years ago we had a new president elect it wins in and one of his Campaign Promises was actually to revisit the agreement between japan and korea to address the issue called for women it was supposed to be final when the remark was signed in 2050 but the public opposition to this was quite significant the government currently in so it has taken a harder line of the issue and they have maintained that they will not see what dave received to be a turn by the minute ministers who are the more right wing tendencies not just over the issue of war time crimes but also over the issue of dual or a technician on the rocks between korea and japan that have been disputed by the 2 countries for quite some time all right robert capt lets talk about the economic implications of this dispute the us china trade war has already resulted in quite a lot of negative shocks for asian trade flows do you think this dispute between the other 2 big economies of the region has the potential to escalate into another trade war. Was certainly has the beginnings of what its worth pointing out that actually south korea and japan had been suffering from. Impact of the us to a trade war because they are very much integrated in this Global Supply chain which is centered around china or has been and so when the tariffs are put on chinese exports in fact its south korea taiwan and japan very significantly the high tech area that feed into that so theyve already been suffering and now they have this dispute brewing i guess the one Silver Lining to this is the export controls involve a review period so theres like a 90 day window from which the 2 sides might be able to reach some sort of resolution but if there isnt a solution to the impasse im afraid it could make a bad situation much worse japan has said it may escalate measures in august how far can they actually take this especially given that japans exports have been falling because of the us china trade wars these things. Well thats the interesting thing so currently we look at these very specialized components they represent about one percent of the value of japans exports to south korea so things Like Hydrogen fluoride are very important to south korean ship manufacturers and Panel Manufacturers but they are very important to japans export base but if indeed they start ratcheting up tension not only were their own companies of course suffer as a consequence just as by the way American Companies in consumer suffer under tariffs that are just increasing the cost of inputs from china but theres another factor that needs to be considered in that is south korea might start retaliating and so it you know this is where you get whats known as a tit for tat trade war and if things get more and more heated the ramifications for those 2 economies and the Global Economy could become bigger and bigger missa taniguchi japan says it may escalate the measures when it go as far as removing south korea from its list of preferred trading pardons perhaps the list you are just referred to in some list that listed 29 countries with which japan has given blanket. Permission when it comes to exporting sensitive materials to the importance but south korea has been the only and sole nation in the entire part of asia that japan has maintained this arrangement over the last 15 years European Union has given no such permission out right south to south korea japan has given no such permission to other mens members of asia so south korea is going to return back to where it was 2004 and in addition no ban whatsoever no ban whatsoever either about the 3 sensitive materials. Or the future in the future other materials is going to be imposed upon japans export its going to make the process slow and cumbersome if you like but thats the one. Any country is having with any other country. The economic aspect of this relationship has been the glue supporting political cooperation between south korea and japan until now to what extent koreas domestic politics complicating the situation and do you think there is a certain willingness domestically to improve things with japan no i would say this is very likely the timing of the situation is most unfortunate because korea already was feeling the pressure from the truth were between china and the u. S. And there was a lot of hungry me the rest agree over what the government could do to improve the Business Climate and then came to school by japan and building on the existing and egypt in the sense of having oriya which is very widespread its put tremendous pressure on the government to not yield to any demand by the ministration that a government has said it is open to diplomatic negotiations or compromise if it can if theyre open to diplomatic negotiations as you say why do they reject 3rd party obert
