Scale but it is causing a great deal of International Concern and it is going to be a key issue on the agenda of the upcoming g. 7 summit that is taking place in the south in berets in france and lets just bring you a bit more on that now because Climate Change will be a key issue in that french seaside summit on saturday but after last years acrimonious meeting in canada expectations are low that much can be achieved this year and as weve heard matt brown a muckle want those amazon wildfires to be part of a why discussion on the Climate Crisis there are other issues to consider as well the leaders of the most advanced economies. The french president is hoping to deescalate tensions between the u. S. And iran thats a key issue after the president pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal and re imposed sanctions irans foreign minister described talks with macron on friday as productive the ongoing trade war between the us and china also going to be a key area of discussion as well as how to tax Global Technology giants Companies Like google amazon and face but thats been causing some tension recently and france has made fighting gender and social inequality also a key theme of this years summit while our diplomatic editor james braze reports now from berets. Just hours before the g 7 started and the Iranian Foreign minister was in paris mohammed job with zarif met with president mccraw new pictures of the meeting were released properly so as not to anger President Trump. The meeting behind the closed doors of the elisa palace highlights the very different approaches of the u. S. And europe towards iran however there is a new face at this years g. 7 u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson some are speculating with bricks looming he may want to consider taking a tougher position on iran in order to win favor with trump. If forced johnsons Fertile Ground for a no deal really is true and therefore what hes been doing in berlin and paris has really just been made ready a ruse of sorts so youre going to see the u. K. Pivot towards the u. S. Theyre going to see. More of the u. S. Them as european neighbors and theyre going to start seeing a much more aggressive. Level of posturing from Boris Johnson who will be in the company of trump and who will almost be egging him on to start behaving in a way thats more u. S. Friendly than a new friendly iran is just one of an increasing number of global issues where the 7 leaders are likely to have very difficult discussions the french president has already taken the unprecedented step of deciding not to seek a final communique at the end of the summit because he knows there are no words that will be able to sign up to. A number of other countries have been invited to this years g. 7 Prime MinisterNarendra Modi of india will be attending and the growing tension between his country and pakistan over kashmir is bound to be discussed growing trade wars are also leading to fresh rifts the u. S. And chinas difficulties could further destabilize the Global Economy and here in france the new Digital Services tax which targets big u. S. Tech Companies Like amazon and google has angered President Trump whos even threatened to retaliate with higher tax on french wine. Ever since Trump Took Office the issue of climate has been one thats cause divisions that Global Summits it may well again be 6 verses one with president macro and the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau leading calls for the thousands of fires burning in the amazon to be treated as an International Crisis james bays out 0 the ritz. So i had for you on this news hour from london the russian president Vladimir Putin orders a symmetrical response a u. S. Recent missile test it fears of a global arms race democracy protesters in hong kong say they are tired but they will back down in their fight with paging and crickets decides it still isnt safe enough to play a test match in pakistan but says its now open to a one day series.

No sooner heard family thought theyd found somewhere to stay the landowner moved them all this is how its been for hundreds of thousands of syrians throughout the 7 years civil war traveling further and further north to escape the fighting while this displacement is never ending i never expected to be in this situation no one knows what will happen next the fighters dont seem to know if they should advance or that idiom will advance on them the traffic is mostly one way as people head away from the advancing Government Forces towards the last rebel stronghold of italy a province the Syrian Regime now controls all of the countryside in Hama Province south of it live after taking over with the russian help the last villages and towns that had been in rebel hands its all happened under the noses of turkish soldiers theyre behind this wall in one of a dozen observation posts a stop wish to monitor what is supposed to be deescalation zone. Museum or that you dont know the little miss muffet the our observation posts are not besieged b. And nobody can besiege out troops or observation posts i want to clarify it yes there are attacks in the region of adlib the regime is active around our observation posts we are discussing this issue with russia and iran turkey is also worried that regime advances to push more than a half a 1000000 syrians to exporter. And the guy said how to best. Taking everything theyre giving us a kicking 36 helicopters over our heads forced us to leave almihdhar was bombed being checking on that our legs turkeys president has told his russian counterpart that Syrian Military attacks in northwestern syria a causing a humanitarian crisis rajan type one told bloodier putin that whats happening there threatens Turkish National security its one of the reasons turkey is so keen to get a safe zone up and running on the syrian side of the border but so far theres still no indication that turkey has agreed with the u.

S. Have withdrawn from the u. S. Withdrew from the treaty citing russian violations a claim moscow denies hussein has ordered the Defense Ministry and other agencies to take comprehensive measures. It was in a book and i mean maybe the fact that we developed the newer systems of modern weapons which are unfair allowed in the world was 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 we are doing it now and we will be doing it in the future. Because nature as you know we have never wanted to do not want and will not be drawn into a costly economically destructive arms rice that judging by the defense spending russia is not a modest place of the United States chinese peoples republic saudi arabia United Kingdom france and japan meanwhile the russian Opposition Leader alexina valley has been released from prison and immediately vowed to continue his fight against president putin spent a month behind bars for planning demonstrations calling for free elections hes led a wave of protests criticizing a decision to bar off position figures from standing in september elections in moscow he says the protest movement will continue to grow despite intimidation and arrests so just moving right here for us for now we 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 anticorruption organizations and these organizations can see they have no support and people feel afraid.

Scientists in kenya say the northern white rhino is one step away from being saved from extinction there are only 2 of the animals left in the world both of them are female and infertile on thursday a team that successfully carried out a groundbreaking procedure to harvest their eggs as it explains. The. New gene in fact 2 of the only 2 northern white rhinos left in the world they live under 24 hour protection in the oprah jato conservancy in kenya and thats because both females are the last and only hope of saving the species from disappearing forever. With the help of science sperm was saved from the last little northern white rhino male called sudan and a few others he became famous around the world when he featured on a popular dating app to raise money for an in vitro fertilization procedure since his death the team of International Scientists has been racing against time to fertilize eggs from the gene and far to. Using Pioneering Technology and millions of dollars later on thursday they successfully extracted 5 eggs from each female. The eggs couldnt be frozen and were immediately flown to a fertilization lab in italy. But its already in the locker room i believe so the moderation starts and if everything goes well then he also doesnt want to go. It was locally. To go to him go well we have some embryos. For Health Reasons and the gene and fats you cant give birth so once the embryos are fertilized theyll be implanted into a star Great Southern white rhino instead. Demand for rhino horn in traditional chinese medicine as well as things like dagger handles in yemen fueled. Poaching in the 19 seventies and eighties largely wiping out the northern white rhino population in africa but if a surrogate southern mother can produce a baby northern white rhino then these beautiful creatures that have roamed the earth for millions of years may avoid what seemed like certain extinction. Its. So bad for you on the Program Thousands of palestinians in gaza gather at the security fence with israel demanding the right to return to the historical homes caught in history we meet the stonemason repairing an us quite damaged wanda in washington. In court red handed a russian athlete to compete in the u. S. Is suspended the doping more and that will only sport. Hello there are some very strong weather across certain parts of europe in particular into southern poland into the vaca at the touch of mountains where weve seen these deadly thunderstorms caused by lightning severe lining a lightning bolt storms in the forecast ahead of this in the southeast and across much of Central Europe it will stay fine and dry temperatures are on the increase all comes out in just a moment but as we go through saturday we would have some warnings in place across the line of the ouse really you can see here weve got more rain in the forecast this is where we could see more of those thunderstorms and then weve got kara conditions further to the east and warming up 27 in kit but a bit cooler in moscow 23 and theres some rain in cloud very close by Northern Europe theres a new line of cloud working its way in but as i say ahead of that and in between these thunderstorms weve got some very nice weather conditions indeed 29 in berlin 31 in paris. And by sunday those temperatures in some cases going up even further 33. 00 celsius in paris thats about 9 degrees above the average for this time of year about 7 degrees above in london so its almost as if summer has a come back and then we had further to the south into Northern Africa and we could see some showers here particularly the coast. Into tunisia very light showers and what effect at 30 celsius in tunis. Right. Now. Where im from. Welcome back a quick look at the top stories the u. S. China trade war has been deepening after the u. S. President ordered to American Companies out of china it follows beijing and outsing planned tariffs on 75000000000 dollars worth of u. S. Goods france and island a threatening to block a trade agreement between the European Union and south american countries unless brazil does more to tackle thousands of wildfires raging in the amazon and the syrian army has seized the rebel territory in the countrys north west the escalating offensive that has prompted a new exodus of refugees. And will mourn our top story now the g. 7 summit on saturday in the french seaside town of ritz former assistant secretary of defense Lawrence Korb joins us now from washington how would you describe u. S. President Donald Trumps position going into this summit with warnings of an economic downturn and a growing trade war with china well theyre horrible because not only is he have a trade war with china he has put a lot of tariffs on a lot of the european European Countries in the g 7 was supposed to get all these countries to Work Together to deal with these problems and trump is not dealing with that last year he refused to sign the communique that the g 7 wanted on Climate Change and he changed his mind about the final. Communique at the end of the conference after he left early to go meet with the north koreans and hes upset all of his european counterparts but the way he just handled denmark there is talk. Its interesting that you say its supposed to be about countries working together there are now fears of the global recession on there and 10 years on from the Global Financial crisis we are in a different world with more populism more nationalism and certainly with a u. S. President that is far more adversarial and unwilling to get it to engage in a multilateral approach while we are and again hopefully we wont have a downturn to looks like were on our way how severe its going to be i think is the real issue but the question is is powerful as the United States says it cant deal with these things by itself and if it causes problems with the people it should be working with its going to make the situation both in europe and the United States and probably china even worse we need to work work to gather and what the trump seems focused on is it a potent through the g. 7 when in fact russias economy is too small even to get in let alone the other things is so on like in syria and ukraine. I mean there are so many issues to discuss on there you have the u. S. China trade war the Iran Nuclear Deal that something some European Countries certainly want to be on the gender and then of course these raging wildfires in the worlds biggest rainforest in the amazon in brazil do you think it will be possible to reach any thing close to consensus on any of these issues. Well its going to be very difficult because we know the fires in brazil are caused by Climate Change the president denies that there is a Climate Change so its going to be very hard for him to get involved in and deal in deal dealing with god and again his agenda seems to be he wants to add code he doesnt want to get involved in any of the substantive discussions that weve you know what we just saw spoken about and you know what he seems to want to do is cozy up to these hardline dictators like you see and hungry in poland last year leaving the g 7 to go to to meet with north korea. Just in terms of those fires and brazil right now we know that they are enormously destructive and that there will be diet consequences for the future and as you say its really cost the spotlight on Climate Change and the lack of progress on that do you see some countries if not the u. S. But perhaps other European Countries going as far as to possibly penalize brazil well again i think if youre going to do what you need to have the world together just like we found out what the iran you know nuclear deal it wasnt just the United States you needed or all the other countries and of course theyre upset about us getting out even though iran was complying with the terms of the deal and preventing the European Countries from trading with iran by refusing to give them access to the u. S. Banking system so no it be very very very hard to do that. If trump doesnt cooperate thank you very much with the with the analysis from washington Lawrence Korb appreciate it. The New York Times is reporting that israel carried out an attack on a weapons dept in iraq thats been used by iran 2 senior u. S. Officials told the newspaper there have been at least 4 strikes on weapons depos controlled by iranian backed groups in iraq a military official confirmed to baseballs hit and 3 people were killed including one iranian and israeli teenager has been killed by a bomb in an illegal settlement in the occupied west bank the Israeli Army Says its not immediately clear if the device has been planted in advance or thrown meanwhile thousands of palestinians in gaza are rallying off to a tense week at the security fence with israel so it follows at least 3 incidents of rocket fire and air strikes 9 people have been injured at the demonstration so far its the 71st consecutive great march of return rami khouri force that brings us more from gaza. Well this protest is now in its final stages but at its height it was considerably larger than the sorts of protests weve seen in recent weeks that is because the organizing committee called for such a protest given that this is the 50th anniversary of the significant event the arson attack on the iraqs a mosque in 1969 there had also been calls earlier in the week for there to be open clashes in confrontations with Israeli Forces we didnt see that i think the real reason we didnt see that apart from a few attempts to to get to the fence by a few individuals and a handful of century balloons being sent across on the prevailing breeze whats happened in between those 2 events is that on thursday night the qatari and boy mohammed mit came in to gaza with 11000000. 00 worth of funding of aid for the poorest families here having gained israeli permission to do that and then after that event there was a call for a scaling down if not in size at least in intensity of this protest from the committee which organizes these protests which is very heavily influenced if not dominated by hamas which is in control here inside the gaza strip the question Going Forward now is that given the fact that hamas says israel has not met its commitments made after the last Major Military escalation back in april and given the fact that we have another round of elections coming up in israel in september how will the security situation here play out already weve seen a number of attempts by individual groups of armed men this month trying to get through the fence and some 9 people being killed by Israeli Forces as a result of that weve seen rocket fire coming out towards or into israeli territory the israeli army is blaming that on Islamic Jihad one of the major armed factions here inside gaza but it says its up to hamas to control the situation. Airport authority has won an indefinite Court Injunction against protesters to prevent them storming the town and i again 2 weeks ago assisted by prodemocracy campaign is at the airport descended into chaos forcing hundreds of flights to be cancelled and his wife why and hang reports the action came as activists staged yet another protest. With hong kongs iconic skyline shining brightly the citys defiant protesters Students Solidarity they formed a human chain that stretched to kilometers around the city the chosen day was symbolic it came on the 30th anniversary of the baltic way when around 2000000 people in a stony a little way nia and latvia held hands to call for independence from the soviet union this protest was not about independence but was an attempt to show that the people of hong kong are united and will continue their fight against chinas increasing influence even work harder to reach austerity maybe some of us but we are still going on we are not giving up right now this was a peaceful protest with no police in size the days ahead may be different though as protesters again target hong kongs airport they say they wont try to go into the terminal as they did 2 weeks ago but will try to disrupt transport routes to and from the airport there is no sign that these protests are slowing down but at the same time there is drawing concern about the impact on the economy tourist arrivals are down Hotel Room Rates are being reduced and the airlines are being affected in particular hong kongs main kariya Cathay Pacific which is coming under increasing pressure from beijing. The chief executive resigned and at least 3 employees of Cathay Pacific and its subsidiary cathay dragon have been fired after they showed support for the protest Movement Among them a former Union Representative who says china is creating a culture of fear in the company i know all the colleagues. Feel so depressed and sad because of what happened here but its not just about the nation. Of the job but its also the whole issue its all its 1030. 00 terrified all my colleagues are all terrible and. Its that fear of chinas evolving influence and control over the city that continues to motivate the protesters to come out week after week when hey al jazeera hong kong. Fighting has been going on for decades now in central nigeria fueled by ethnic and religious differences as well as the battle to kiss caste land and resources thousands have been killed those whove escaped hope to find safety in camps but as to how to turn our ports they are facing another terrifying threat. To our buggin a company the city of is one of dozens dotting the expense of been with state in central nigeria its inhabitants are just a fraction of the 171000 displaced across the state by the ongoing violence between tribes in this part of my. While the comp was supposed to be a refuge for the people most dont feel safe here and in mourning. A sharp increase in rape of women and young girls is deeply wounding this community. And. I fear for my daughters there those who send their kids to go work in the city but not me the Current Situation is too dangerous. People here complained that become so widespread that women can no longer live the compound accompanied a missed international in a recent report detailing how girls as young as 9 and 10 years were being taped at times by the very security personnel charged with protecting. News that a 10 year or displaced rape victim was delivered in the new a few days ago has sent shock waves across nigeria we met the girl and her baby girl at one of mccords hospitals look to educate michael help with the delivery of the 3 days of labor we need to do this is a reception because there is no we little enough for them so we dont miss much to me but some units of blood on the internet are turned into. This social worker was one of those who brought the girl to hospital and told us that she grew up an orphan and was raised by her grandmother but was forced to flee how home when her grandmother and called tried to force her to marry a blind man that is when she fell prey to the man who raped her. Despite what shes been through the young mother already has dreams for her baby. I dont want my daughter to go through the same suffering as i did when she starts walking both of us will go to school. Police say they were arrested the man suspected in her rape last december but they have this plea for families of rape victims punishments for a friend us can serve as deterrents to orders intending to do the same but when family members tend to make good shit to kind of receive money from from suspects all to try to prevent prosecution we family members can come up to help us let the prosecution process be concluded. The plight of the little girl prematurely propelled to motherhood is 1st becoming a rallying cry for those seeking action on grip in nigerias displaced peoples comes many hope that case will spot the authorities to take action too and such horrendous crime once and for all 100 or 2 ill just see it or.
