Tonight the United States and britain are leading calls for russia to end its support for syrian president bashar alassad. The u. S. Blames assads regime for the Chemical Attacks on civilians. Donald trumps decision to bomb a syrian airbase surprise many and appears to mark a uturn in washingtons foreign policy. It has angered moscow, the biggest ally of assad. Reporter the misery doesnt let up in this refugee camp for the millions of Syrian Refugees scattered across the globe. Last weeks chemical attack refocused the worlds attention on this brutal conflict. It is also stolen the focus of a meeting of g7 Foreign Ministers in italy, with renewed efforts to end the bloodshed. The u. S. And did it may once again take up the mantle hinted it may once again take up the mantle the worlds policemen. Secretary tillerson we hold ourselves to holding to cap for any crimes against innocents around the world. Reporter it comes days after an airstrike in response to a gas attack and blames on bashar alassad. Britain is calling for russia to end its support for the syrian government. The message were sending to the russians do they want to stick with the toxic regime . Do they want to be eternally associated with a guy who gasses his own people,r do they want to work with the americans and the rest of the g7 for a new future for syria . Reporter were russia take the heat . Moscow warned that the airstrike violated international law. Tillerson flies to russia after the g7 meeting. It will be an early test whether the u. S. Can generate momentum from the serious strike and find a way to end the conflict. Brent lets pull in our correspondent covering that meeting in italy. Good evening to you, barbara. We have u. S. Secretary of state tillerson saying the United States will not allow crimes against innocents anywhere in the world to go unpunished. Interesting, he says anywhere in the world. This sounds like america accepting its role as a global policeman again. Is it . Reporter it sounds like complete political backwards or whatever term we might find for it. The problem is there was only one representative of the government who has come out with a strong commitment like this. Political explanation would mean it is what it was before look at the beginning of the talks. The Italian Foreign minister rejoiced in refining the harmony with the United States. We dont know what it means or how durable this is an whether the whole Trump Administration is behind the statements of tillerson or not. Brent today the British Foreign minister Boris Johnson proposed new sanctions on russia. How likely is that to gain support . Reporter it is possible, of course, because everybody here also, the other european prime ministers and canada and of course, the japanese, everybody here at the table, they want to increase pressure on russia. However, the question is whether further sanctions, which means probably sanctions against top military personnel in russia, for further sanctions against cronies of president putin, will really change his mind. He has weathered the rather tough economic sanctions the eu has put against him since the ukraine crisis rather well. Are further measures really going to change anything in moscow . Will he feel the pressure will make him even more stubborn . That is anybodys guess. Brent g7 countries appeared to have no clear position on syria and russia. They all agree that assad it to go, but when it comes to syria as a whole and russia, there is no unity. How big of a problem is that . Reporter it is a big problem, of course, because what everybody fears is an accidental escalation of the conflict. The reviews are quite clear, particularly germany and france and they dont want military escalation. They would not be on the side of the United States if they wanted to go further into the country and come out with further airstrikes or other strikes against the assad regime. They want a political solution. What is not clear is how that can be brought about. At the moment everybody says we need to put more pressure on russia. Is that going to work . We dont know this. During the past use it hasnt worked. It is not clear the hardline talk we hear from Rex Tillerson is the one side, sanctions from Boris Johnson are the other side, and caution from the german site is sort of the third piece of the triangle here, and theres no real unified position. Brent our correspondent on the story with us in lucca, italy, where the g7 meeting is taking place. Thank you very much. Tonight egypt is in a state of emergency come a day after 45 people were killed in bombings on to coptic churches. Socalled Islamic State says it carried out the attack.

Second suicide blast was even more deadly. At least 27 people lost their lives here. Im very moved by what happened to he im very moved by what happened. May god avenge what happened. Christians and muslims were all brothers, all one. I pray to god to avenge those who died. But grief has turned into anger, although barriers have gone up in front of the church and the countries under a threemonth state of emergency. For many, that is come too late. I want to ask president sissi, why didnt you declare this state of emergency two weeks before the holidays . She is coming to do this now, but after the crime has happened. Security services are being deployed at churches across the country. With i. S. Promising more attacks, that will do little to calm the fears of egyptian christians.

As i understand, the children, most of them were transported to a high school nearby, and can be picked up by the parents. Brent when people, particularly in the United States, here the name San Bernardino, immediately think of that bloody gun battle in 2015. Is there any connection being front between those incidents . Reporter at the moment, we do not have any indication there could be any connections between the 2 cases. In december 2015, a newlywed couple, apparently inspired by the socalled Islamic State, opened fire on an Office Christmas party in San Bernardino, killing 14 people there.

Javier is here with a story of the biggest offenders of what freetrade happened to be in biggest offenders of free trade happened to be in berlin whenever right now. Javier the three most powerful institutions of finance the imf, world bank, and wto best having meeting to present an agenda for World Leaders for the g 20 in hamburg this year. What was obviously your year ago now has to be stressed out of the document. The three organizations are urging readers to do something to reduce protectionist sentiment in many developed economies, and it is easy to guess what they are really talking about. Reporter the heavy hitters of the World Economy met in berlin to deliver a clear message to freetrade skeptics. The key to life spread prosperity is simple. Trade needs to be reinvigorated. The trade rules need to be respected. Enforcement that is the actual amazing phenomenon about the wto needs to be reinforced, needs to be respected, needs to be complied with. Reporter the imf, world bank, and wto have released a report outlining how freetrade good and does benefit the worlds workforce, and on paper they make a strong case. Global gdp has more than tripled in the last 30 years. International trade has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. But there was no denying the elephant in the room populists like u. S. President donald trump have risen to power on a rife popular resentment of free trade. More people ever than before feel economically excluded, and populist politicians are playing on them and employing rhetoric heard during the trade wars of the 1930s. The World Bank President says freetrade is about more than just business. It is an issue of social justice, because open trade has played a central role in the billions of people out of poverty. We support open trade because it is the only way we will be able to end poverty and boost prosperity of the poorest people in the world. Reporter but he cautioned that governments need to do more to make sure everyone benefits from free trade. Trade is truly a tide that lifts all boats that is the message the economic elite are trying to send in berlin could put in the face of trumps threatened economic protectionism, it seems the proponents will have to work on their branding. Javier one of those threats is preventing u. S. Companies from Building Products in china. Lets bring in our correspondent on wall street. Despite that, we have heard that tests five the u. S. Tesla, the u. S. Carmaker, might be opening a factory in china soon. How does that work . Reporter first of all, the Chinese Government is really strict whenever a Foreign Company wants to enter the market. Usually they make them form a joint venture with a Domestic Company to benefit the chinese economy. The second problem is the american government, motivated by the same thought, basically, trumps protectionism. We have not heard anything from tesla. This rumor comes from a chinese newspaper. Shares soared to more than 310, making tesla the biggest u. S. Automaker in terms of market valuation for a very brief moment. Now it is worth 51 billion, twice as much as general motors. Javier everyone is trying to guess what the next step of the Trump Administration will be, but there might be an executive orders in that might impose tariffs on specific products. How is that playing on wall street . Reporte well, so far trump is just considering an executive order that would allow him to launch a trade investigation that could lead to tariffs on steel, for example, aluminum from china, possibly household clients is household appliances. As i said, first of all he would start investigating if dumping off imported products below cost might have led to the trade deficit with china or other countries. Wall street listened but did not care too much about these plans. Dow jones and the indices making the biggest gains in april. Javier we will follow that story. Thank you so much. And that is all from the business desk for now. Back to brent. Im listening to some music in my ears, i think. Brent we will talk about the veteran british rockers deep purple.

Lets listen to their sound. Reporter deep purple are back 4 years after their last album. The heavy metal and hard rock pioneers are releasing a new one. The band aimed to record it sound like a live gig. We have always been a kind of live band. Recording side of our careers is secondary. Bringing them into the studio is a wise decision. That is why they sound so frustrated with dont do that sound so fresh. We dont do hardly ever, more than one or two takes. Ladies and gentlemen, lets record a rock record. Reporter it was recorded in nashville, tennessee. That is redeemable recorded their previous album, too. This time around it took less than a month to rehearse and record the 10 tracks. When it comes to music as well as come in is hard to beat. They still have great big studios, and if you want to capture a liveish sound, you need a bigish room. I know i hit the drums it will go bang. Reporter starting in may deep purple will take to the road again for their long goodbye tour. Although that sounds rather final, the chore has no set and date. End date. Hard rock and heavy metal fence should not miss the opportunity to catch deep purple in action this time around. Brent this room is also a live. The United States, mexico, and canada have launched a joint bid to host the 2026 world cup. Despite the route with mexico over a proposed border wall, the u. S. Soccer chief says the bid as u. S. President Donald Trumps full backing. We have the full support of the inezs government in this project. The president of the United States is fully supportive and has encouraged us to have this joint bid. He is especially pleased that mexico is part of this, and that is in the last few days. We are not at all concerned about some of the issues that people may have raised. We looked at getting alone and decided we want to bid with partners in north america.
