Stocks have plunged after beijing announced increased tariffs on 75000000000. 00 worth of American Goods u. S. President donald trump says hes ordering American Companies to close chinese operations. Brazils president says he may send in the army to battle fires that are burning through the amazon forest World Leaders are calling it an International Crisis and they are demanding action french president emanuel not home whats urgent talks of this weekends g. 7 summit. Irans foreign minister has hailed a positive talks with french president in one you will not crawl on salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal judd said he said both countries have made suggestions on how to move forward after the u. S. Pulled out of the agreements last year. Ok lets return to one of our top stories the fires burning in the amazon the fan site is an ecologist at the National Institute for Amazonian Research is joining us by skype from the nose thank you very much indeed for being with us can you give us some indication sara of what the wider ecological implication is going to be when the fires are on this scale. Well these fires. From deforestation which is made a huge jump. Under the bow sonar president ial administration the 1st right. And restraint. And its just. You see all these theyre trying to each word the forestation its got most of these fires a recurrence so theyre sick. Both. Connection and its also a year that doesnt have not an extreme dry season or stream drought which is very unusual to have so many fires so this is something you point to the rhetoric and the and the dismantling of the Environmental Control structure innocent because it now some of these fires are escaping into the florence which adds an additional impact because this is something thats outside of the control. Of the Human Society once its in when when youre deliberately kind of on the poorest of the chainsaw you can decide not to do it or the government can take measures to keep you from doing but when the part fires here escaping into the forest on their own then it becomes out of control and this is something thats increasing in the amazon because you have more severe drought and something we expect to increase more with Climate Change you also have much of the 4th being blocked which makes it more vulnerable to fire and when it gets burned once like the fires that are escaping now you make it more likely that the forest will catch fire again and after 2 or 3 fires its no longer of course so this is something its very wary some in terms of destroying biodiversity in terms of releasing large amounts of Greenhouse Gases mr global problem and also in losing the recycling function of the forests for water because water vapor that is recycled to the amazon forest is essential for reading all follow other highly populated parts of brazil and also in neighboring countries like argentina so this is a major concern i want to talk to you about the level of biodiversity effect that you were talking about just a 2nd ago because that is a significant Ripple Effect when it comes to and they had the the life that exists within the forest themselves its not just about the trees its about the the environment that is contained and supported by the trees husband badly is this likely to affect that environment. There certainly are facts any of the parts of my actually been burned. And i did something that it changes the micro climate in the forest and makes it more likely that you have more fires going by there into the forest so that its something that has a potentially very great effect obviously when you do forests and lose a forest completely almost all of the biodiversity loss and as you degrade it with these and his that are catching fire and trees are dying not the whole forest but part of it youre losing very important parts of biodiversity as well good to hear your thoughts on this thank you for an unfair side we appreciate your time.

Japans Prime Minister shinzo of a says south koreas decision to stop sharing military intelligence will damage trust between the 2 countries south korea made the move after japan downgraded its trade status theyve been embroiled in an increasingly bitter dispute over wartime labor reports from Seoul South Korea says it had been hoping until the last minute to avoid pulling out of the pact blaming japan for whats now become the most serious deterioration in relations in decades young japan created a green change in bilateral Security Cooperation we have determined it would not serve our National Interest to maintain an agreement to exchange sensitive military information the intelligence sharing agreement was set up 3 years ago to counter the nuclear and missile threats from north korea its breakdown comes at a time of increased missile testing by pyongyang. The south korean decision completely misjudges the current Regional Security environment its nothing but a disappointment and i find it extremely regrettable disappointment to from the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o whos called for the 2 u. S. Allies to settle their differences relations have soured just as regional rivals china and russia seem to be moving closer together militarily. This dispute began with a south Korean Court Ruling in favor of victims of forced labor used by japanese firms during the 2nd world war japan retaliated with the restrictions on the export of materials and components needed by south koreas high tech manufacturers south korea then responded with a campaign to boycott all japanese goods and cancel holidays there. Its now started another campaign to support south korean firms hurt by this dispute this Company Making and fresheners had spent 3 years trying to break into the japanese market and was all set with 3 major orders which have all now been canceled. As citizens we need to support our governments policy given the current mood with japan will need to find an alternative solution for now exports to japan are difficult. This deepening trade dispute comes at a tough time for south korean exports has already caught in the middle of the trade war between the us and china trade figures show exports this month are down more than 13 percent compared to the same time last year extending a slump thats gone on now for more than 8 months many here fear the next move by either side in this continuing tape for tat will only be further deterioration Robert Bright aljazeera sold russia and the u.

But is it a book and i mean maybe if the fact that we develop the newest systems of modern weapons which are on their allowed in the world has caused and we can say provoked by a unilateral exit by the us from the antiballistic missile treaty in 2003 we were forced to we had to guarantee the security of our people and of our country and we are doing it now and we will be doing it in the future will not. It was negative as you know we have never want to do what you do not want if you will not be drawn into a cost of an economically destructive arms race that judging by the defense spending in russia is one of the models that are several places of the United States chinese peoples republic saudi arabia United Kingdom france and japan or meanwhile the russian Opposition Leader alexina valmy has been released from prison and immediately vowed to continue his fight against president putin not only spent a month behind bars for planning demonstrations calling for free elections hes led a wave of protests criticizing a decision to bar some opposition figures from standing in september elections in moscow he says the protest movement will continue to grow despite intimidation and arrests suggest movies are still right here for this reality see that lies and fraud are not enough for them its not enough to bend the candidates from the election they want to arrest and beat up people to smash and take her up in organizations and these organizations can see they have no support and people feel afraid.
