Point the president s of south africa has met with the nigerian president obama dubois hari and theyve just concluded an address to the media here in pretoria the union voting where. I began by outlining the important and what he calls a strategic relationship with nigeria of the long historic economic social and political ties and once he established that he moved on quite quickly to the issue of these attacks that was seen in cities like johannesburg about a month ago but he also called them public violence saying that it wasnt just nigerians who were attacked there were other african nationals and he expressed deep regret for this i think that when the South African government addresses these issues it very much wants to look at it as one that is about its social and economic difficulties and perhaps having foreign nationals just caught up in that and that they were specifically targeted this is what hes wanted to bring across to both the nigerian president and South Africans the nigerian president responded saying that he had wanted to see strong action from south africa in future to ensure that attacks like these dont happen again but so far very cordial meeting between the president s the bulk of it to dealing with political and economic ties and strengthening those its also important to remember that this meeting was planned before those attacks took place about a month ago and it seems as if it hasnt caused significant strain to prevent the nigerian president from visiting here i was going to ask you what impact have these attacks have upon relations between the 2 countries. It has been an area of concern certainly something that both governments especially with regard to reprisal attacks in nigeria against south African Business is there for instance it certainly is a situation where both governments have wanted to be seen to be acting decisively and dealing with an ongoing problem there have been other attacks in 282012 this isnt the 1st time but again has used the opportunity to say that south africa is trying to deal with its social and economic problems is saying that this is perhaps the foundation of the tension thats been seeing in parts of the country in many instances where foreign nationals end up feeling the brunt of some of the tensions and frustrations of south africa so the relationship between the 2 countries the 2 biggest economies in africa has a necessarily been affected to a great extent president bihari is on a 3 day visit is expected to continue as planned but certainly a situation on occasion where these 2 countries want to force their way forward in terms of the support relationship for me to live in pretoria for me to many thanks indeed saudi arabia says that oil output is back to normal after last months attacks on its facilities the countrys Energy Minister told a conference in moscow that the kingdoms Oil Production capacity stands at 11300000 barrels a day but he didnt given any updates on repairs to the Processing Plant which was his airmans who the rebels say that they were behind the strikes but the u. S. And saudi arabia have blamed iran. Joe biden has described donald trump as desperate and defensive after the u. S. President called his potential 2020 democratic rival stone cold crooked without offering any evidence trump again denied pressuring ukraines president to investigate biden and his son details of a call between the 2 were made public after a whistleblower complained from to the democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry more now from. House democrats announced on wednesday that they would subpoena the white house for documents related to their impeachment inquiry if they dont receive by friday theyve also asked for documents from the state department am president drums personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani but they warn that no one should think they can avoid cooperation through lengthy legal action challenging congresss authority for example so we are concerned that the white house will attempt to stonewall our destination much as they have stonewalled other committees in the past. Its why i say the white house needs to understand that any action like that that forces us to litigate or have to consider litigation will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice and of course that was an article of speech meant against nixon the implications for the white house clear from the democrats dont think you can hold the impeachment process up in the courts if you dont cooperate with the inquiry will simply roll that even to potential articles of impeachment as obstruction of justice and will infer that the reason you are not complying is because what the whistleblower said initially was true now the white house donald trump once again attacked the whistleblower who alleged he was abusing the office of the presidency to undermine the 2020 lections in his interactions with the ukrainian president this country has to find out who that person was because that person is a spot in my opinion but later in a press conference with the finnish president mr trump said he would cooperate with House Democrats in their inquiry however he grew irritated as he. Asked exactly what he had been on the ukrainians to do in the 1st place biden and his son are stone cold crooked and you know it is son walks out with millions of dollars the kid knows nothing you know it and so do we go ahead ask a quick question sir was what did you want president selenski to do about president President Biden and his son hunter. You talk to me yeah it was just a follow up of what i just asked you are you ready we have the president of finland ask him a question i have one form i just wanted to follow up on the one that i asked you what did you hear what do you want to hear me you ask him a question im troubled president ial campaign released a new advert arguing that the impeachment process is simply the democrats attempting to undermine democracy because they can beat him at the ballot box its nothing short of a coup and it must be stopped its a message that does seem to be resonating with trumps base at least the campaign is reporting tens of thousands of new donors and huge sums of money pouring in she able to see out washington north korea has confirmed that it successfully tested a new type of Ballistic Missile that can be launched from a submarine its the 1st test of its type by pyongyang in almost 3 years the missile was fired into the sea towards japan on wednesday the launch came out as often as korea said it would would resume denuclearization talks with the u. S. On saturday mission which is a professor of International Relations at Hankook University of foreign studies he says that the Missile Launch is unlikely to affect talks with the u. S. This is definitely a qualitative. Improvement in range versus what weve seen from the testing of what was the missiles north korea over the last few months and this well i think that pressure among other things on the trumpet ministration and how they deal with north korea you know trumpets the short range Ballistic Missile tests that were not a problem that they were standard you know this is obviously a. d higher terms of threat of course its very much will depend on how good the marine capabilities are and you know what we know about them so far is that theyre not particularly sophisticated in the. Marine Warfare Technology by the u. S. And and south korea i would have a very good chance of being able to track with real submarines so i wouldnt treat the threat alarm this way and that clearly north korea is improving their delivery capabilities france has the European Union is ready to respond with sanctions with sued if the u. S. Goes ahead with 7 and a half 1000000000. 00 worth of tariffs on e. U. Imports the u. S. Says the taxes are in part retaliation for e. U. Subsidies given to european plane manufacturer and bus the World Trade Organization says that those subsidies are illegal the u. S. Is planning to tax goods from between 10 to 25 percent including whiskies and french wines and cheeses the term if sent to come into effect on october 18th will President Trump has just been tweeting about the terms calling them a 7500000000 dollar award from the World Trade Organization against the e. U. Who have for many is treated the us very badly on trade with tariffs trade barriers more he said the case has been going on for years and called it a nice victory robert scott is with the Economic Policy institute and says the impacts of the terrorists will be negligible and they wont have the desired effect. Theyve been imposing tariffs on goods from around the world for more than 2 years now weve got tariffs on over 200000000000. 00 in goods from china approaching 300000000000. 00 bet tariffs on approximately. 100000000000. 00 in steel and aluminum imports and yet the u. S. Trade deficit keeps growing it went up 10 percent last year much faster than overall g. D. P. So tariffs are not effective strategy for bringing down our trade deficit with the regrets of the world the impact is going to be quite tiny youre talking about to set 7000000000. 00 in tariffs that meant authorized press 10 percent on new e. U. Aircraft sold to the u. S. 25 percent on some of these products as you mentioned cheese and wine and cashmere sweaters. We dont even know if the final prices to consumers will go up by that search by that anything close to this a mouse certainly is not going to have anything like that impact on. For example Airline Tickets which reflect her merrily the cost of fuel and landing rights and so forth the cost of new airplanes is a small small part of the aircraft again. And pakistani doesnt change the u. S.

Showed that it is perhaps now a day of old dead goats dogs made it in the near future lebanon is being criticised for its decision to send back Syrian Refugees who arrived after april without proper documentation human Rights Groups are accusing lebanon of putting the lives of the refugees in danger nearly 3000 of them sent back in the past 4 months to reports. These refugees may be safe from the war in neighboring syria but there is little that protects them in lebanon leaving the camp to find work has become a risk they live in fear of arrest and deportation due to tightening restrictions by various government bodies which insists returning to syria is safe. I entered legally in 2012 but i havent renewed my residency since i need to pay 200. 00 for every year and i dont have the money i also need to sponsor which i cant find the lebanese the restrictions began in 2015 when doors closed to Syrian Refugees new visa and residency regulations were imposed now syrians who entered without proper documentation after april the 24th this year are being deported Rights Groups dismissed assertions by lebanons leaders that the restrictions are about improving security and protecting the economy its general security has admitted that they have to look at all the 1000 Syrian Refugees in the us. Human Rights Groups say some of those deported entered before the cut off date and werent given the chance to consult a lawyer or challenge the order in court they also accused lebanon of putting those syrians at risk by handing them to the government in damascus accused of arbitrary arrests and torture that has led to deaths in the tension one of the individuals that was deported was a prominent opposition reporter he wrote publicly for opposition and has all the name and of course upon. Transfer to syria he was arrested by the syrian authorities the un confirmed deportations are happening and there could be more because the majority of refugees lack proper legal documentation which. Documents. Thats very important some International Organizations are accusing lebanon of violating its obligations to protect those fleeing persecution and violence they sent representatives to beat officials here to find a way to stop the deportations when someone called her. And is in the airport near scott and we know if they go back were going to be killed thats one violation from the. Anxiety is growing among the almost 1000000 registered Syrian Refugees who along with Rights Groups believe the deportation order is part of a wider government crackdown that is about making their life increasingly harder to pressure them to leave.

Inside the heavily fortified own klavan somalias capital diplomats are trying to figure out a safe way to hold an election next year well come to that story in just a moment but 1st i want to take you to. House of parliament where Prime Minister johnsons just taken his to take his fate to what tell part of it about his his new plans for leaving the European Union lets listen and show our seriousness of purpose they do not deliver everything we would have wished they do represent a compromise but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than break through and so we have made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm to reconcile the apparently irreconcilable and to go the extra mile as time runs short in our starting point is that this house promised to respect the referendum before the vote that more people voted to leave than voted for any Political Party in our history in this referendum must be respected both main parties promised at the 2017 election that they would respect of the referendum and that there would be no 2nd referendum. This house voted to trigger article 50 and has voted repeatedly to leave yet it is also voted 3 times against the previous Withdrawal Agreement and for repeated delay and so. As identifies time and again there can be no path to a deal except by reopening the Withdrawal Agreement and replacing the socalled backstop. While as i stand here today we are some way from a resolution it is to the credit of all european friends they that they have accepted the need to address these issues and i welcome the constructive cause ive had over the last 24 hours including with president younker chancellor merkel. T. Shirt radko and the statement from president. Of the commission will not examine the legal text objective in. The essence of our new proposal is a new protocol on our land in Northern Ireland consisting of 5 delegates. In the 1st place all our actions are based on our shared determination to sustain the belfast good friday agreement the fundamental basis of governance in Northern Ireland the protection of which is the highest priority of all and from this follows the 2nd principle namely that we shall of course up hope all the long standing areas of cooperation between the u. K. And our friends in aa and including the rights of all those living in Northern Ireland and north south corp the common travel area which predates both the good friday agreement and the European Union itself. 3rd we proposed the potential creation of a regulatory zone on the island of ireland covering all goods including agra food for as long as it exists this zone would eliminate all regulatory checks for trade in goods between arland and Northern Ireland but full unlike the socalled backstop such a regulatory zone would be sustained with the consent of the people of Northern Ireland as expressed through the assembly and executive they will give their consent during the transition period as a condition for these arrangements entering into force thereafter the assembly will vote again every 4 years and if consent were withheld these arrangements with then lapse after one year 15 it is always been a point of principle for this government that at the end of the transition period the u. K. Should leave the u. K. As the e. U. Customs union whole and entire restoring sovereign control over our trade policy and it be the way for free trade deals with our friends around the world and that is a fundamental point for us is to speak out. So one of the proposals in this new protocol Northern Ireland will be fully part of the u. K. Customs territory not the e. U. Customs union. But there will be no need for checks or any infrastructure at the border between oland and Northern Iraq indeed ive already given a guarantee that the u. K. Government will never conduct checks at the border and we believe that the e. U. Should do the say so there is absolute clarity on that point instead under this new protocol all customs checks between Northern Ireland and them would take place either electronically or in the small number of cases where physical checks would be necessary they would happen a traders premises or other points in the supply chain and we have put forward a method for achieving this based on improving and simplifying existing rules trusting certain traders and strengthening our cooperation with our land in a spirit of friendship and sensitivity to the particular circumstances. So while these proposals will mean changes from the situation that prevails today in art and Northern Ireland it is their driving purpose to minimize any disruption and in order to support the transition further we propose a new deal for Northern Ireland that will boost Economic Growth and competitiveness and set in train new infrastructure particularly with a 3 day crawshay to. Particularly with a cross border focus mr speaker mr speaker the previous Withdrawal Agreement and political declaration would have permanently anchored the the u. K. Within the orbit of e. U. Regulation and customs arrangements and an indefinite so. Holdback still provided a bridge to that vision of the future this government has a different vision basing our future relationship with our european neighbors on a Free Trade Agreement yeah you know i dont know in the u. K. To take back control of our trade policy and regulations and we propose to amend the political declaration to reflect this ambition our proposal should not provide the basis for rapid negotiations towards a solution in the short time that remains i do not for one moment resign from the fact that we have shown great flexibility in the interests of reaching an accommodation with our european friends and achieving the resolution which we all if european neighbors choose not to show a corresponding willingness to reach a deal then we shall have to leave on october 31st without an agreement and. We are all ready to do so but that outcome would be a failure of state craft which all parties would be held responsible. When i think of the complexity of wrecked europe in the in the past of the mints challenges that we have together so mounted over the 74 years and peace and prosperity that we have together achieved i believe that surely we can summon the collective will to reach a new agreement with the speaker this government has moved our proposals do represent a compromise and i hope of the house can now come together in the National Interest behind you to open a new chapter of friendship with our european neighbors and move on to our domestic priorities including education infrastructure and and h s tradition that all seize this moment to honor our overriding promise to the british people respect breaks it get it done and i commend this statement right. Here we call the. Thank you mr speaker i would like to thank the Prime Minister of copy of the statement but what we have before us is a rehash version of previously rejected proposals put put the good friday agreement at risk that would trigger a race to the bottom on rights and protections for work because consumers and precious environment given the seriousness of this issue and the vagueness of the proposals so far can the Prime Minister tell this house if and when he plans to publish the full legal text that he must submit to the a you these proposals would lead to an even worse deal than thats a great by the former Prime Minister the Prime Minister has signed up to the backstopping cabinets and he voted for the Withdrawal Agreement in as a backbencher his letter to the president of the commission. Yes to the claims both and now unacceptable perhaps he can tell us. What is change why did he support it then but oppose it now the letter makes his intentions clear it rejects any form it rejects any form of Customs Union something demanded by every business and industry body in the britain and every trade union they want to ditch a use standards on workers rights environmental regulations and consumer standards and engage in a race to the bottom deal or no tail deal or no deal mr speaker this governments agenda is clear they want a trump deal breaker. A trump to your brakes it would crash our
