Will threaten conservation efforts activists say mining and logging have already damaged some areas. Will destroy the eco system it will cause forest the structure and raise the temperature of greased forest fires and during the drought will create a water shortage. Moving the capital has been discussed for decades but recently resurrected by president djoko we dont owe. Estimated to cost 32000000000. 00 it will be one of the Worlds Largest single Infrastructure Projects. The plan is to build the city on land between east to largest cities Public Public and summer into connected by this 1000. The 1st stage of construction will be around this will be a president ial palace ministries and housing for government and schools elsewhere theyll be Hotels Businesses and offices to meet the demands of the cities of new population. While the new capital is welcomed by many indonesians villages in pasir fear theyll be forced off land theyve lived on for generations. We worry about the legality of our land only 20 percent of us have the legal documents he lost to us foreigner have been coming here its goes intension in the Community Government leaders in jakarta say the exact site of the new city hasnt been revealed told void property speculation. We dont need to ask people when we want to move the capital its up to the government to decide as long as we dont destroy the environment or harm anybody. While plans are still in the early stages the 1st construction is expected to be complete by 2020 full movie and entire capital city will be a delicate balancing act for indonesias leaders preserving the natural habitat while building their vision for a new concrete jungle and in addition to that report regular caught up with indonesias planning minister bang bang broad. She began by asking him just how bad the situation was into counter itself. In fact its not just about your partner but also. The. Disparity between the islands in indonesia. Already contributes almost 60 percent of the economy and becoming the home of almost 57 percent of our population meaning that 150000000 people live in. Terms of size its not of course the lot of just. Last. Month. And also. It means. Crowded. Kind of big disparity. In the world so. I dont think its fair if everything just focusing on just as recently in jakarta because. Today is just handed off everything in the shop if youre going to be to deal with the government you would have to live with the business and then. Other some of these you would be even limited to the industrial or Manufacturing Sector so just by itself by quantity would be almost 15 percent as a profit. If you include also the metropolitan area which is larger area that could contribute almost a quarter of the economy of the country from that area speaking about the activity happening in east right yeah there is mining this logging and theres all plantations what happens to those sectors when you have an influx of people well i mean of 1st of all situation. By the Economic Growth is lower then. Obviously Economic Growth they are one of the islands that have a lower Economic Growth and why because part of the price their economy depends so much on Natural Resources like what you mentioned i mean. Not months not so much anymore because the production has been declining. Mining coal and oil so of course the activity is still down but of course the economy cannot depend on the on Natural Resources because the price is fluctuate dave and then see today is declining so we need to diversify the economy. By for example some of the sector including Government Services that will be looked at that in the new capital so we know that you are going to be footing the bill of 32000000000. 00 us dollars around that where is the money going to come from yeah we are going to infight private sector participation with many ways. Yes number one is Asset Management scheme in which there will be a lot of assets that will be left behind when we move to the capital thats really the asset that now becoming like this building the office and other government offices is here its value off in jakarta and also the asset in the new capital so we are going to off one of the assets for. Collaboration with private sector and of course the private sector well probably be good. That afternoon to the government and part of the revenue will be us to build capital i believe that Asset Management scheme we have for the Public Private partnership mostly for Infrastructure Projects related in the new cap it though and 3rd of course we we in 5 private sector participation especially for. The house seeing you know to be located in the new capital so basically we do not want to really disturb our budget theres also some more is about land speculation and the price of landing creasing and some people that weve spoken to in the area has hall have told us that theres tensions brewing amongst the community because they havent been informed about whats going to happen to where they stay what you say i guess the land that will be used for the location of the new capital will be the land at almost 100 percent all. And mainly its by the government so we do not we are not going to buy or acquire the land from somebody else of problems that will lead on us because as i mentioned almost 100. Now under the control of the government if there is less regulation of course the big question will be there everywhere in the world and that happens because the drive to get the f. On this to get the access of profit that could happen outside the area off of the new capital but not in sight and what about resolving the issues in jakarta this flooding this congestion will be leaving the city behind and moving forward on a turning over a new leaf or are you to have a plan in place to fix things happening here are going to obviate. One of the probably not financial and business and but of Southeast Asia so far that position belongs to singapore. Is a little bit behind so we need to upgrade jakarta but we need also at the same time relief the burden in jakarta by moving all of the government seat to the new capital but. I would like to see the new capital be Like Washington d. C. While it will be upgraded and developed like the new york city in the us what about the environmental concerns. Has been considered to be the lungs of the us you have environmental activists are worried about the impact this is going to have on the land that they dont need to watery simply because number one our location is not going to affect the boat though protected forests in indonesia natural for us the natural forest what that did for us well still be there. And affected by your capital number to the city itself the capital itself will be the sign with a broad of green and for a c. P. With a minimum 50 percent of the area will be open green space and in fact in the area we are already identified some point so for us and also for. X. Mining activities that basically ruining the empire. So we are going to rehabilitate the condition both in concert for us as well as acts mining location so basically we are committed reforestation rather dead before a station ok well thank you very much indeed for taking time thank you. Thank you thank you finally this week argentina where the currency is the peso but the u. S. Dollar plays a crucial role in economic and political life after president lost a primary election back in august the peso then lost a quarter of its value and now argentina is burning through its foreign reserves to shore up the pace own to pay off dollar denominated debt to raise a bow now with this look at why the dollar dominates in latin americas 3rd biggest economy. Its 10 oclock in the morning in argentina and the question everyone has is how much is the dollar today argentina is in the middle of an economic crisis and its the u. S. Dollar thats in the spotlight once again france as a program one of the crises in argentina or cyclical and things happen again argentinas look at the dollar and people want to save themselves and sort of the country in general in the past year recession is everywhere even though the national monies that they saw its the u. S. Currency what runs the economy the main reason is inflation because a raise in the value of the u. S. Dollar immediately translates to a race in the price of almost everything in the early 20th century argentina was one of the richest countries in the world thanks to the export of beef wheat and other farm goods but things changed in the 1930 s. Because of the Great Depression the United States and political instability and since then argentina has defaulted on its sovereign debt several times and inflation has almost always been in the double digit this museums and shows how they are doing time currency has depreciated over the years and in a way it explains why arjun times preferred to save in u. S. Dollars. The word crisis and devaluation appears repeatedly in the coin museum of when a site is over the years argentina has not been able to solve its main problem the economy needs dollars to grow but the country spends more than it produces so it needs to borrow abroad thats what precedent machree did since taking office in 2015 market restoration work to go over the expectation was to generate capital inflows and generate growth through investment. One have you had a lot of pork for your inflows but not as much investment maggie was a bit too optimistic it took too long to adjust the fiscal issues they have you had to keep Interest Rates too high for too long and people already know mistrusts. The value of the piece and thats why people have been going to the banks to either buy dollars or get their money out in the lot of the u. S. Dollar is not only used by the elite in argentina but by all sectors that run to buy dollars as soon as they have some cash its how people try to preserve their cash cost to dollar rise the economy are common in argentina but people like my say it will not work out well and i mean in 19012001 there was an attempt to tie the past so to the dollar it was a converted billeted at that time it was not a dollar a zation but the states did not have a Monetary Policy it controlled inflation but it devastated the economy to. Be tended in that massive crisis in 2001. Next few months will be difficult ones for argentina but hes unable to amend an economic pattern that repeats itself over and over again.

Police fired tear gas as protests in egypt run into a 2nd night the demonstrators are demanding president sisi steps down. I mean this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up saudi arabia says it will respond to an attack on its all facilities following an investigation as it claims a run for the assault. We young people are unstoppable activists berg opens the 1st u. N. Climate summit saying she and others wont rest until theres action on global warming. Thats really a u. N. The dark world i would say desperate journalists immortalize telling the stories of the global refugee crisis through a. Process of broken ass in egypt for a 2nd day demanding the resignation of president Abdel Fattah Elsisi it comes after dozens of people were arrested in fridays rallies which saw thousands take to the streets. As more. Mass protests may be a rare sight in ccs egypt crackdown on dissent is not. In suez and the government protesters who gathered for the 2nd night in a row were confronted by police and other security personnel. Who fired tear gas and other forms of ammunition at what appeared to be unarmed demonstrators egyptians 1st took to the streets on friday evening demanding that former army general turned president of the fatah has sisi resigns in cairo was the numbers werent huge their voices were loud and clear i in alexandria egypt 2nd city people angered by corruption poverty and oppression called for the same the people demand the fall of the regime in months were giza and mahalla as well as several other cities what appears to be a nationwide movement has begun to form these protests come off the back of revelations by a former military contractor named mohammed ali who exposed millions of dollars worth of embezzlement and theft of state funds by sisi and his family at a time when the egyptian president has introduced sweeping austerity measures claiming the government was no longer able to subsidize living costs on saturday ali released another video giving c. C. A one week ultimatum im still waiting for a response from the defense minister and Security Forces saying the c. C. Is out he is no longer fit for. This next friday is also makes him im waiting for that decision the next step is a multi 1000000 man march we started in our local streets but next friday we will take to the major square as. Mohammed ali is not a political leader but his message has resonated with menu directions the majority of whom live on just 2 dollars a day or less was the people are starving my life savings have evaporated why why decease to starve us while he lives in the curious palaces why is he trying to humiliate us he is supposed to be a Public Servant working for us this season who is in new york for the United NationsGeneral Assembly denies corruption allegations describing them as lies. And all unauthorized protests after he led the military coup which deposed egypts 1st democratically elected president Mohamed Morsy 6 years ago. Tens of thousands of egyptians were arrested and jailed and the government crackdown which followed now Human Rights Watch is calling the new direction government not to repeat past mistakes urging leaders to protect the right to peaceful protest in upholding egypts obligations under International Human rights law or 30 should immediately release all those arrested for soli exercising their rights was there are parallels that can be drawn with the 2011 uprising which led to the ousting of autocratic president Hosni Mubarak the situation today is also different. But may still be early to predict how these protests will end and whether they will force regime change or not what is undeniable though is that for many egyptians the current status quo of poverty corruption and oppression is not an option. Well while the process of follow president sisi to new york hes there for the United NationsGeneral Assembly and expected to meet with u. S. President donald trump egyptians rallied outside his hotel carrying signs accusing him of being a war criminal and chanting calls for him to step down. While hes there sisi is expected to meet u. S. President donald trump during the g. 7 summit in france last month donald trump labeled sisi a good man and a great leader and referring to his egyptian counterpart reportedly asked wheres my favorite dictator the 2 also met during last years u. N. General assembly in new york congratulated sisi for doing an outstanding job in his country and at a summit in riyadh in 2017 trump complimented the egyptian leaders shoes for sisi said trump a unique personality thats capable of doing the impossible. William lawrence is a professor at George Washington universitys school of International Affairs he says the relationship between trump and c. C. Is strong theres certainly a number of areas in which trump feels great affinity for c. C. And vice versa i think a lot of the u. S. Policy is driven last by that then by what trumps close golf is in particularly particular Saudi Arabian emirates are asking him to do and then of course you remember the famous phone call to have there in libya this spring came after sisi requested it from trump following requests from the gulf so all of these issues are connected. The latest tweeting coming from the emirates in support of sisi even before some of the protests this is quite interesting but. I not so sure that there is a great. Trust in sisi in washington right now and you may have noticed of course last year in the year before there were cuts to military assistance. Based on human rights considerations and the latest budget put forward also proposes cutting equally large amounts if he doesnt live up to human rights consideration so already congress and executive branch are preparing themselves for those types of sanctions this year as in the previous years now of course a lot of that was really eventually restored but the push and pull with egypt is not. An easy situation right now and i expect a lot of tension in the relationship this coming year so do you rabia says it will wait until it finishes investigating last weeks drone strikes and 2 of its all facilities before taking action saudis minister of state for Foreign Affairs of beer believes u. N. Investigators will confirm iran was behind the strikes a charge tehran denies riyadh has rejected the claim by yemens rebels they carried out the strikes. I took it in the bush to my limits to my duty to be able the International Community has a huge responsibility to put into rons aggressive policies and practices that undermine the region if not the whole world these acts are in violation of the International Laws and International Customs must prove its not a barbarian country is a state if so it should respect the sovereignty of other states were freed from supporting terrorism in refrain from exporting weapons to terrorist militias in the region that are used against civilians that. Has more from tehran so you are a good repeated the allegations accusing iran of behind being behind those attacks accusing iran of funding terrorist organizations but also they appealing to the International Community and trying to get opposition to iran the language is very much that iran has broken internationally know that this attack on irans actions could affect oil supplies to the rest of the world and theyre trying to tell the world that they need to get on board with what the United States and saudi arabia want to send more sanctions more pressure on iran from the iranian perspective they will see this as saudi arabia stand still able to prove where those drones and missiles came from so this is that the investigation is still ongoing and they would release those findings but the United States has put sanctions further sanctions on iran and Iran Central Bank now the foreign minister zarif as a sponge to that he said that this shows the desperation because of the maximum Pressure Campaign isnt working for the United States he also said that they are people that fear that the United States will return to negotiations and they want to drag the United States into a war so from iran spur specked if theyre watching this this briefing and its still very much the same accusations leveled against iran but very little evidence at this point in time. The United States is sending more troops to saudi arabia to boost defenses against what it calls iranian aggression and as i mentioned new u. S. Sanctions are being imposed on iran and move foreign minister jabbered zarif is described as desperate fatima blank americas has had his mission than sanctioning the central bank shows us desperation more than anything else because americans have imposed whatever sanctions they could against iran what they are doing right now is to sanction the central bank that has already been sanctioned but under a different title but of course there are measures shows there endeavor to block irans International Commerce to block food and medicine from reaching the people of iran now one day after leading the biggest protests in history young activists have taken their cause for action to the United Nations the youth Climate Summit was opened by teenage campaign aggressor thumb burke who inspired fridays demonstrations diplomatic editor james space reports from the United Nations headquarters. The day after people around the world led by the youth took to the streets here young people taking over one of the global halls of power this is the u. N. Youth summit but the most powerful person was not here to speak un secretary general antonio good terrorist was billed as the keynote this snow and these are among the speeches he heard these negotiations and Climate Change policy started in 1902 even before most of my generation was fine for over 25 years and the emissions have on us in. We appreciate that you there now are the table where the discussions are being held but our voices and our imports must be allowed to influence this disease yesterday millions of people across the globe. Marched and demanded real Climate Action especially young people. We showed that we we are united and that we young people are unstoppable the u. N. Is hoping to leverage the people power weve seen in recent days led by the youth and gratitude ahead of a Climate Summit of World Leaders on monday among those wholl be there at the launch chancellor merkel of germany president macron of france and Prime Minister modi of india but what about the 2 biggest emitters or china will be represented by state councilor and foreign minister wang ye and the u.
