247 news. International my names you know me a warm welcome to the program. The United States and china have approved a. Trade deal they want to. Chinese. American farm exports to it follows a 19 month trade war between the worlds 2 largest economies. Well rumors have been circulating for the past few days that some kind of deal was in the works to resolve the trade disputes between the usa and china the idea being that the tariffs would be scaled back in exchange for tens of billions of dollars of Agricultural Products and other things being purchased from the United States and some concessions on chinas part now in response to these rumors that we heard the democrats speaking up this was Chuck Schumer reports say president sold out for a temporary unreliable promise from china its a purchase some soybeans weve heard this song and dance from china before yet again present company relied on to do the right thing even when his statements were pointing in the right direction now we then heard from donald trump speaking up about how this was simply fake news this is what he said the wall street journal story on the china deal is completely wrong especially this statement on tariffs fake news they should find a better lead but just a few hours afterwards we heard china come forward with an official press Conference Announcing that phase one of the deal was on the verge of being implemented this is what we heard from the official Chinese Press conference. The agreement will create better conditions for china and the United States to strengthen cool peroration economy and trade property monies unresolved economic and trade disputes all differences and promote stable growth of chinas economic and trade relations given the don would. Now trump spoke up afterwards saying that essentially china had agreed to a number of structural changes and would be purchasing u. S. Agricultural products as well as energy and manufactured goods also said that he was hoping to begin work on phase 2 of the agreement but he would want to do that immediately not wait until 2020 this trade war has been asking lading between the United States and china sense june of 28 teen theres been an escalation of tariffs many many different you know regulations being put in place and different products being targeted but it seems that some kind of resolution is in the works so we now have an agreement of some degree so folks we waiting to see what happens next there has been hope before that the trade war was going to be resolved and those hopes of then been shortly afterward disappointed so what comes next it remains to be seen but at the moment many are optimistic that it appears that things are moving forward. You broke down in the agreement on talk through why its too early to have any real success. Is this deal going to end up being no different than what these 2 countries had to begin with its like if i take something away from you and then i give it back to you i didnt really give it to you exactly and this was actually the exact same thing that was on the table back in march if you remember the trade deal that was on the table back in march like we said we will buy more ads you take back our tabs this is exact same thing and trump was like no we demand ip protection we demand rights who arent American Companies in china you need to restructure your government to not handle private corporations he demanded all of these things and now china was like no were not going to do that and look at the terms of phase one here its so vague and all of those things are taken out the only thing that are actually legitimate on the table are literally purchases and rollback of tariffs so the germans wanted us to roll back as you say are we did we roll them all bartz or not all of them not all of them are rolled back so the main Sticking Point of why this had to happen today aside from the fact that there was also some impeachment stuff going on right so you kind of take over the news cycle but aside from that as of sunday about 160000000000. 00 worth of new tariffs are going to be added to chinese goods and the reason that is needed to get something done today is because had that been enacted for the 1st time American Consumers were going to start feeling this trade deal in a negative way and he doesnt want that one isnt is a non deal right now this is a deal for public consumption its just say face really the crux of it is face to face 3 and right now in order to save even more face trump said phase 2 is going to be great face to is going to be eminent and we will see how phase one turns out. Boris Johnsons Conservative Party is celebrating a historic victory in the u. K. General election the Prime Minister says it gives him a powerful mandate to deliver breaks it well the poll delivered the worst result for the labor party since the 1030s hoping to draw d a line under years of bitter nationwide division mr johnson appealed for the healing to begin but the trouble mobilized hundreds to turn for protests. Was demonstrators in london sent off flares on clashed with police chanting not mine Prime Minister johnson hostage they gathered in front of downing street and marched through Central London there were some similar scenes and gloves go. And indeed north of the border they Scottish National party were celebrating a divisive win which has reignited their calls for another independence referendum from the u. K. Kevin on discuss the election and its consequences with correspondent daniel hawkins. The polls are predicting a tory majority throughout the Election Campaign but not to this extent i mean labors been decimated losing your key seats in its northern heartlands of the midlands war many of them seats which voted labor for 3050 even close to 100 years so this is very much been a defeat for labor based really on lot of people are saying on the question of brics it went in with a very clear message get bricks it done it was very clear very simple it resonated with those areas with those communities that voted to leave and weve heard Michel Barnier say no way were going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end it will be 21. 00 Boris Johnson so its going to be well thats the thing i mean no trade deal of this size or complexity has been negotiated with the e. U. Ever and hes saying that were going to come out by genevieve the 1st weve been going until june 2022 negotiate this deal its also got be ratified of course by the 27. 00 Member States if that doesnt happen the prospect of a new deal bricks come this Time Next Year is that very much on the table spoke of the works along the line whats going to happen on the border between Northern Ireland or the republic of ireland thats still not sorted up plus theres the whole scottish question of kicking off even more nationalist parties have done fantastically well in this election i mean speaking of ireland the deputy leader. Dogs lost his seat to the new can for the 1st time since 1921 this is the violent nationalists now outnumber unionist s. N. P. Again a whole different kettle of fish certainly no disunity in scotland they were very clear they wanted to remain in the e. U. The s. N. P. Has capitalized on that and made Massive Gains 48. 00 seats won 8 percent increase last night we saw nicolas there isnt jubilant dancing in fact when the leader of joyce wins and lost her seat this is what she had to say on independence referendum last night stunning election win last night for the s. N. P. Renew reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over the future that mandy see. Is that it is for the Scottish Parliament nor a waste minister government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence the office of Prime Minister and saying theres got no intention of allowing a friend in the near future that youve results the 20. Has to be respected and there will be a return to division and uncertainty so hes been on an unequivocal thats not a priority thats not going to happen s. And p. Theyre already preparing to sit down next week and publish what they describe as a detailed democratic case for letting scotland aside and whether there should be a 2nd independence referendum so Boris Johnson isnt going to have it easy he may have his hands on tidy may you know have lost the opposition of his own m. P. s of labor hes got difficult negotiations coming up and hes got the question of Scottish Independence and in big trouble in Northern Ireland as well to deal with that well in the wake of the conservative clean up our 2 u. K. Discussed what it all means for the all but inevitable breaks it. It to all intents and purposes they selection in the end became a back seat election which in itself was a de facto referendum and therefore in that context it is somewhat a standard to say that labor voters in traditional labor voting areas such as states field or west brom and should. Embrace the conservative party an insanely large majorities that then in the leafy suburbs the sorry i dont see a referendum taking place now you know if its a case of ever wanting to rejoin the e. U. It will be as an absolute assadi from a position of creative weakness brecks it was probably because syces factor in most voters minds but there were a few other issues that i mean its fairly obvious that the labours policies were quite hard left and i think that probably didnt resonate quite so well with as much as the public as they had hoped some of the policies were a little bit a little bit extreme to say the least so that was probably part of it but i think yes the predominant issue was was practice it and the conservative Party Presented the way forward the certainty of the resolution and the end to the torment and frustration and confusion that weve been suffering for the last few years of course it doesnt mean that the process is finished but i think the 1st stage and crucially the political element of it is now resolved. Moving on to another story now the United Nations is accusing the chilean army and police of committing Human Rights Violations during their crackdown on protests investigators highlighted cases of all lawful killings and torture heres the key bindings. Human Rights Violations documented by c. A. G. R. Include the excess c 4 and this is 3 use of force that led to unlawful killings and injuries arbitrary detentions and torture and ill treatment. Of thousands have been demonstrating since mid october demanding an overhaul of the culture situation the chilean government has called the un report disappointing it said they opened in situations of extreme violence caused by the protesters the unrest was initially triggered by a hike in public transport calls that snowballed into a nationwide movement for social reform the government imposed a state of emergency and the foley troops on the streets and we heard from a doctor in one of the victims of the protest was but the injured. And this woman it was a peaceful rally but the police turned very mild and they were sure that we could have had me in a 2nd when i was trying to give ideal blood shot authentic and i was hit by a bullet straight into mafias my forehead and i was frightened because i couldnt see any kind of quality and i couldnt think what if. It was about to percent and they wanted to talk to scold invent recovery is a very long process were going to die not to make. The majority of our patients are young people many of them with i. E. Injuries and their require complex rebuilt Station Program including not just physical therapy but a psychological help as well because of the devastating troll they received. However authorities in santiago reject the abuse of power argues ations justify imposing a state of emergency saying that the protest posed a serious security risk. Getting money i mean that we deeply regret delegations each of them is being or will be investigated want to emphasize that the needs to introduce a state of emergency arose from a situation of violence and not Peaceful Demonstrations as some have tried to claim the police hes taking. A leave. And the kind of pain. He added. To the pressure for the protests will cheat you. Mean. These to get more. People research. He did say that because past. Systematic abuse i mean the reports of abuse but werent systematic but theyve been systematically. Ok switching gears now in a surprise move the Berlin Transport Authority has applied for unesco World Heritage status of the company jokingly admits that its sometimes known for overcrowding and room service it ses the transport system is the only place left in the rough but only changing city where berlin is still berlin eventually of success has been taking a closer look. What does the taj mahal in india. Transit system have in common well nothing yet but they may soon be sharing the spot schools heritage list the people who. Decide to try to be called t. V. s must see them how it might be. 2 or 3 lifetimes to stand by. To be truth be told the berlin Transit Authority has applied for World Heritage status and wants to be included on the same list of some of the worlds most fascinating architectural monuments but what makes the berlin Transit System so special. Perry. Sighed. Its certainly convenient and even runs 24 hours a day on fridays and saturdays but if youve ever been on one of their subways youll realize that this could be a little bit frosty. As. It will be. Somebody saying. So Customer Service is not really their thing in the overcrowding and the long delays so we want to ask what they think about their Transit System and whether it should be included heritage list its one of the oldest so i think you have to save it and its been great transportation to use but i dont know if its exactly on taj mahal level or not because its and its a quite old system and in germany the. System and. Underground stations look like huge because i dont think it should be. Its a service. With people already saying yes on the companys website the whole unesco right it could indeed have some traction but it could also just be a ticket to promote the citys Public Transit network so remember next time your. Driver or your already limited space is being invaded on one other subways this could all be part of a World Heritage experience a badge of us for artsy. Fartsy including facebook is accused of risking Public Health over misleading. Prevention drugs. You know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. While way down. China is the apollo 11. This decade. Its defining the technological landscape for a whole country is going to happen for a long time. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and ill be speaking to us on the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. 19 minutes past the hour welcome back its claimed facebook is causing harm to Public Health an open letter signed by dozens of Health Advocates and l g p t Rights Groups is the monday not the social media platform drop that misinformed people about the effects of using the hiv prevention frog truvada the advertisements are targeting. Facebook and instagram uses and are causing significant harm to Public Health the sign is of this letter request that facebook and instagram remove the advertisements and also publicly address the misinformation that the platforms have allowed to spread. Well the letter c. Rist people expressed heightened fears of taking the drug after seeing the ants potentially leading to avoidable infections the adverts placed by multiple law firms urge gay and bisexual men to join a lawsuit against the drug maker claiming it house calls torvald side effects sees the do not violate their roots but their policy also states that in some cases they can be removed if an Expert Organization to banks or plate well matthew rose from the hiv Advocacy Organization health gap told us that in his view facebooks not doing enough. I myself have been taking the drug for 6 years now and ive seen 0 side effects on the drug facebook is promoting an ad that makes it really hard to allow people to have a really powerful and really safe new prevention option their 1st exposure to this pale is that it is dangerous this is misleading false and also only harming Public Health and the efforts to hiv pandemic globally they want to act like they are the biggest game in town and they are but that means that you have some ethical responsibilities when it comes to certain areas you need to throw more accurate things about health you need to do some more things about news you claim that you are a news outlet for people in place that people get news but refused to fact check or even engage in the notion and allow people to spread lies that are harmful to peoples Public Health so its a civil discourse and we intend this is a democracy. Germany has us son shins targeting companies assembling the nord stream to gas pipeline the pipeline is a major all new Water Network running from russia to europe through the baltic sea it covers more than a 1000 kilometers and means moscow doesnt have to transit gas to the e. U. Through ukraine the german parliaments Economic Affairs and Energy Committee chairman says berlin should respond with summer tour of south america. If the u. S. Keeps trying to obstruct the north stream project i suggest responding with punitive tired of some german imports of american gas things cannot continue like this if we impose punitive tariffs on us gas sales will fall on the us will have to reflect on his actions. Well now the Energy Project really has been a stumbling block for quite a while between the e. U. And the us washington thinks it leaves europe too energy dependent on russia that German Foreign minister meanwhile sees itself to berlin not the u. S. To decide how to conduct the countrys Energy Policy. European Energy Policy is decided in europe not in the u. S. We crucially reject external interference and sanctions with extra territorial effect on the us is unhappy that we are not buying their gas they want to boost their own trade and thats why they are imposing sanctions on Companies Involved in building the pipeline that firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive than rushing gas like the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why north stream 2 is so important the americans have tried to interrupt our oil and gas trade with russia from the outset and yet we have managed to cooperate for many years without interruption both sides need this and we plan to continue where the us likes it or not. Environmental activists have staged a rally in madrid in front of a venue hosting the United Nations climate conference. On friday. Night. Protesters chanted.

There was one new participant on this meeting the relatively new president of ukraine and you know to be honest when he was elected really felt and you still feel some hope that things will calm better i mean things cannot be verse done under poroshenko thats for sure i mean from hungary in perspective at least but of course it would be very important to have 3 elections follow diverts and i do hope that hes constructive approach i mean president is a constructive approach we will help to settle the relationship between the Russian Federation and ukraine. We are committed to human rights to be respected thats not a question why we dont like is that that sometimes the reference to human rights serves as a basis to. Interfere into domestic issues of other countries on an ideological basis on a political basis without any good reason. There should be some at the nation mechanisms launched with the nato in order to be able to address the new kinds of challenges no question but calling nato braindead that was i mean too much i think i definitely did in the in the review that part but but i mean these debates should you or look and we have to understand that there are leaders who like to say lets say things which can be media ties easily we have to understand that we have to live with that now the the atmosphere of the of the summit was rather constructive everybody was emphasizing the importance of the unity of nato and i think that was shown very clearly.
