Its not a joke as to reports it will be an easy task to unseat a president who has a large Approval Rating within his own party. In the United States no one has successfully challenged an incumbent president for his own partys nomination in more than a century and a half and President Trump with his Approval Rating among republicans that 80 to 90 percent has laughed off any suggestion his nomination is in jeopardy but on sunday former congressman joe walsh became the 2nd republican to announce a longshot bid to unseat trump in the primaries im running because hes unfair somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative the country is sick of this guys tantrums hes hes a child intraparty challenges to a sitting president are rare but have happened before Ronald Reagan strongly challenge president gerald ford in 1976 ted kennedy came close to winning the nomination against jimmy carter in 1980 and pat buchanan challenged the 1st president bush in 1992 each incumbent went on to lose the general election. While she and fellow republican president ial challenger william weld a former governor are both considered long shots against trump to call it suicide would be pretty close to accurate at this point but a lot can happen in 6 months especially with the potential economic downturn learned looming we know that the president s Approval Rating is very closely tied to the health of the economy and any continued problems with trade and such could really doubt the president. Trump has weathered a rough week escalating the u. S. China trade war labeling the chair of the u. S. Federal reserve an enemy and ordering private businesses to not do business with china get the Republican National committee is right behind the president and hes raised a small fortune for his campaign which make it difficult for anyone to challenge him and when.

Donald trump again says he does not want regime change in tehran as irans president signals he is open to talks with the us. Im Richelle Carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up chinas currency falls to an 11 year low as the trade war between beijing and the u. S. Deepens. Tightens its immigration rules making it more difficult for thousands of in his waylands fling hardship back home plus. Im says camille in the shopian district if indeed administered kashmir where peoples livelihoods are at risk calling the law imposed by the government in new delhi. Began with the the program with the g 7 meeting in the french city of bay ritz leaders are wrapping up the summit thats been dominated by the us china trade war and a surprise visit from irans top diplomat President Donald Trump has once again insisted he has not seeking regime change in iran but he said it was too soon to meet the Iranian Foreign minister zarif meanwhile trump said china has asked to restart trade talks in response to another series of tariff increases hes promised will be revived shortly and theres been a breakthrough in the u. S. Dispute with france over taxes on American Technology companies have agreed on a draft proposal that will be put to the heads of state later on monday our diplomatic editor james spaces at the g. 7 summit and he joins us now so theres a lot there lets start with what is happening with iran donald trump says that all the leaders are basically in some sort of agreement some sort of collusion what is he talking about conclusion pardon me what is he talking about. I think hes talking about the fact there is now it seems a us blessed window for diplomacy remember weve had a maximum pressure policy from the us weve had very very tough sanctions its the europeans that have been trying to pursue diplomacy it seems from the comments of President Trump now the fact that he didnt object to the Iranian Foreign minister being here even floating the idea although he didnt meet him here maybe hell meet him or meet president rouhani down the line that there could be a window for diplomacy though sold none of the fundamental problems here but potentially there could be further negotiations Going Forward and this could become i think a pretty pretty hectic period of diplomacy particularly between now and the u. N. General assembly and thats because of comments coming out of tehran from president rouhani who says there is a 2 month period now for possible talks but they want to hear that i believe that in order to secure our countrys National Interests any instrument should be used if i know that going to a meeting and visiting a person will help the country get developed and solve the peoples problems i will not miss it the principle is the National Interests of our nation ok lets talk about the u. S. China trade war and this morning president said that chinese official it had reached out to american negotiators to restart talks that would be a pretty sharp turn from their language theyve had so far have we what do we know about what that means have we heard anything from chinese officials in that regard tough talk on both sides in recent days and youve seen the effects on the stock market we havent heard from the chinese side we only have President Trumps account of where things stand but he says the chinese in the last 24 hours of reached out twice to the u. S. Administration. I mean business they want to be able to feel its worth. What it was really a lot of things about him and his wife a person who shes a great leader he understands and its going to be great its going to be great to be in the world you know this is and hes able to do things that other people are unable to do so we will call and were going to start really shortly to. Negotiate well see what happens but i think were going to make a good. Staying with trade there was the potential i think of a trade dispute developing between the u. S. And france frances Digital Services tax which was targeting big u. S. Tech. Angered the u. S. Angered President Trump before he came here to france he was threatening to retaliate with tougher taxes potentially on french wine well i can tell you that the meetings going on on the sidelines of the g. 7 including a sit down meeting between the French Foreign minister and the u. S. Treasury secretary and it seems that according to President Trump a close to some sort of deal not entirely clear whether that will be announced here at the g. 7 few quick couple of things for you richelle one climate the amazon theyve been discussing that interesting in that session at the g. 7 there were 6 leaders there President Trump was not in this chair and also looking forward a year to next years g 7 it was going to the u. S. Holding it president robert says it will be in miami the controversial bit is hes floated the idea it could be in his own resorts in miami. All that would be unprecedented.

S. Trade war tokyos benchmark nikkei index plunged by more than 2 percent chinas currency the yuan dropped to an 11 year low scott heiler has more from beijing asian markets sharply down on monday in this escalating trade war we are tit for tat tariffs being gone back and forth between the United States and china announcements on friday markets futures for those markets were sharply down over the weekend they proved to be true monday sharply down across asia now futures in america also look like theyre going to be down those markets havent opened yet but indications are the open lower but not as low as we thought over the weekend because those futures had softened a little bit Something Else its quite interesting on monday the chinese currency the yuan is down to 11 year low now this is reaction obviously to the market to the trade war thats been going on between these 2 countries now we know that theyre supposed to be further negotiations next month in september but no details have been released about that so theres concern just where the next step is where this trade war goes from here at a concern to that we have a global slowdown in the economy so theres concern that this trade war could also prompt a global recession iran says it has deployed its most sophisticated warship to provide security for its ships in the gulf of aden thats one of the busiest shipping routes and the world on has also announced that at the seoul the oil that was on board a tanker that was detained by British Forces and. Thats here on did not say who bought the crude the seizure of the. Lead to a standoff between iran and the u. K. Also bank has more from tehran. Iran has said that its sending this new destroyer to the gulf of aden and it could be significant because of the military buildup in the region we know that the United States has put together this Naval Coalition that it says is to protect the freedom of navigation through the strait of hormuz in the gulf on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula iran says that this is a new destroyer it has new features its fast but also that its a rainy and maid but it also could be a routine Navy Deployment every 3 or 4 months a new destroyer sent typed and the one currently serving its time in the gulf of aden goes back to iran but its also raised speculation as to the Iranian Oil Tanker the area now speculation as to the route that tanker will take it was released by the gibraltar thirtys you know the United States wanted to seize iran has warned against that and said that there would be serious consequences so the speculation now is that it may come down the suez canal and then the navy boats the Navy Destroyer will escort it back to iran but we still dont know because iran has said that the oil has been sold and the owner of the oil will decide where it goes next and theres a few possible routes it could go back to gibraltar and go take the long route around africa back to iran it could go through all the black sea in the caspian sea and dock in the north of iran but there is fear that because of the military buildup in the region the american 5th fleet is there the United Kingdom has 2 warships the the any miscalculation here could lead to conflict but right now because of the secrecy around the destination of this tank and whos bought the oil its keeping people guessing there is investigator on religious freedom has just released his assessment of the sectarian tension and sri lanka relations between muslims and this had been strained since the easter bombing attacks fighters all muslim ministers have since been forced out of sri lankas government. Says the government failed to protect against hate crimes and allowed mistreatment by law enforcement. I spoke to mr shahid after delivering his assessment in Colombo Sri Lanka has made moves in the right direction but discrimination is still common. I think the Situation Requires a Long Term Strategy and some immediate steps as well the immediate steps required include again enforcing the law on everybody equally ensuring that perpetrate doesnt buy that as a whole to hold to account but the long term they do with a discourse on that issue of inclusion rather than focusing on and at the north National Identity they were the inclusive identities and then sure enough and im sure that all communities feel the equally part of the part of sri lanka the same time also addressing Intra Community tensions which seem to also play a part in some of these issues including theres extremism in some communities and the failure for the state again to protect everybody in these communities as well so all of all the larger picture is political leaders being able to hold people to account and they will
