S. Into effect this hour the battle between washington and beijing is taking a toll on americas midwest and the farmers are struggling as this trade to escalate but for now President Donald Trump still draw support from the race in. Illinois. As the u. S. Administration plans ahead in its trade war with china American Farmers say theyre getting crushed between the worlds 2 largest economies we grew a record soybean crop record corn crop and then you take the fact that our largest buyer just disappeared you know we created a huge ending stockpile that is its going to take years to eat through it not to mention we tripled what we normally carry chinas retaliatory tariffs on corn soybeans imported hit their mark American Farmers deep in trim country across the midwest are suffering this is private and one of the toughest years that ive experienced in my 40 plus years of farming are bankers im starting to get nervous next year is going to be. A tough time and some farmers are not going to get their operating loans theyre not going to pay off their operating loans from this year and theyre not going to be able to get credit to put a crop out next year for the 2nd Straight YearPresident Trump signed a bailout for American Farmers this time 16000000000. 00 worth but that wont bring back lost markets buyers whove moved on to other sellers their silos are full of surplus crops that oversupply his tank prices for corn and soybeans farm income levels are half what they were 5 years ago across the midwest corn and soybean farmers are filing for bankruptcy in numbers not seen for more than a decade and losing their patients id like to see that light at the end of the tunnel and know when things are going to turn around and get better so you your patience is wearing a little little yeah this year farmers are dealing. High tariffs low prices and now his story grains that have left their fields flooded but while chinas chair of search striking their intended targets they have not achieved their goal of turning the farmers who are among President Trump strongest supporters against the president is it fair to say that farmers still by and large support President Trump i think thats fair we believe the president is doing the right thing to live on a farm as an old agrarian saying has it used to be schooled in patience for now those laboring behind americas plows seem willing to wait a little longer john hendren aljazeera colfax illinois thompson is a senior fellow at the require new school of Public Policy he joins us via skype from singapore appreciate your time very much so as our reporter just illustrated there farmers are having a very very hard time taking a direct hit from all of this what have you seen what is indication that youve seen from donald trump about how far hes willing to take this well i think hes very committed to rebalancing and reshaping the trade relationship with china he has a couple of different objectives that he hasnt yet achieved and i think hes going to dig in to continue to to again one of course is bringing more manufacturing and more jobs back to the United States and thats partly seen in his. Moves against mexican trade as well despite having agreed to trade agreement with canada and mexico already but hes also trying to get u. S. Manufacturers to diversify their supply chain so theyre not totally dependent on china so hes encouraging them to shift their production either back to the United States or to other countries in Southeast Asia or elsewhere so that the u. S. Is not as overly dependent on china as they are now is there any indication that this particular attack at this particular plant will accomplish any of those things. I think its already working to some degree the transition of certain business lines certain supply chains are already transitioning from china to places like vietnam in particular in Southeast Asia i think the trade war is accelerating that trend it already began long before the trade war so so it is happening in effect that suits the u. S. Overall objective. Is china in a position to absorb this longer i mean ed and i what i mean by that what i mean by that is politically speaking obviously they all have to answer to constituents the way that donald trump will eventually have to answer to constituents so yeah obviously president xi jinping is no longer limited by by the terms of 2 term cycle so he could serve much more than the 10 years that his predecessor did had been limited to but i think the chinese economy were was facing headwinds before the tariff wars began so i think there is a lot more pressure on xi jinping at this point to get the economy right and to deal with a number of underlying issues including. A big lending bubble hes got an inflation problem hes got a big asset bubble problem and theres way too much stimulation of the economy right now and its overly dependent on. Bank loans theres also a fair amount of discontent amongst the Chinese Private sector the private Business Community who dont feel that they have a level Playing Field a dentist state owned enterprises the National Champions so that internal tension i think also is ultimately going to affect its calculations about how he reforms the economy all right or thompson and singapore thank you very much my pleasure. Protests are in sudans capital khartoum are defying warnings from the military to stop their sit in outside the Defense Ministry this is a scene as people took part in friday prayers in front of the military headquarters on thursday a senior Army Official said the sit in had become a hub for criminals and was creating a danger for the state and aljazeera has denounced sudans closure of its bureau in khartoum saying the network sees this as an attack on Media Freedom professional journalism and the basic tenets of the right for people to know and understand the reality of what is happening in Sudan Network to poorest the decision and assures its audiences in sudan and globally that it will continue its coverage of sudan despite this political interference by the sudanese authorities as kook is a member of a Nonviolent Resistance Movement in sudan he says journalism is now under threat in the country. Youre moving the freedoms of press and trying to have the world not see whats happening is a big deal. And i think this is a turning point because what happened after 11 years in the collapse the government and certainly the government allowed journalists from all over the world to go sit in to come to sudan and to cover this and for them now to decide that no the world doesnt need to see this anymore is a sign for us that some things are changing and were going back to them crackdown and everything so were actually getting ready for a crackdown on the protest area i mean whats happening with the negotiation between the. Declaration for freedom and change for talking from the point of the protesters with the Transitional Council they reached a point where we suppose they have a civilian government and they reached a point where they may not move forward either their transition many council is going to give up power its billions or theyre not going to do it and. Now were more than 55 days into this situation and we thinking that now is the time or we have to go back to. Fighting this government in another way is there not giving you the minute you doesnt want to give up power so were not waiting for them to give up power and if they were serious about giving up power they were not going to do a crackdown on the media so were not worried now germans are protesting in the streets despite Police Reportedly arresting dozens of people in the capital al chairs.

The gormley family is still waiting for payment from the Victims Compensation fund which was set up to help survivors you wont see any names written on this memorial thats because the list of sick and dying is still growing and could soon eclipse the nearly 3000 people who were killed on september 11th that as funds that were set aside by congress to help victims are drying up. Its estimated as many as a half 1000000 people were exposed to the toxic dust that filled the air for months after the attack and its not just 1st responders who are getting sick but also those who volunteered went to school or worked in the area the bearish Mcgarry Law Firm now represents 12000 people from all over the country whose illness has been linked to 911 exposure and they say they hear from new victims every day were seeing many people in the 911 community who have not one but 2 and 3 cancers doctors tell me they have never seen this before in february officials overseeing the victims fund announced they were running out of money and would have to drastically cut payouts to victims but advocates are already pushing congress for more funding down we belonged to on september 16th 2001 when we were told there was a debris the water was safe to drink and yet now were fighting. For health care and compensation. From the government the very government who lied to us a government that promised to never forget the horror and the courage seen day and a community who with this memorial is promising to remind them kristen salumi al jazeera new york.

Officials over the threat of u. S. Tariffs President Donald Trump says one post tariffs on goods from mexico unless it stops illegal immigration mexicos president andres low president gore says the tariffs are not the best way to deal with the immigration issue. On that. I believe this measure will be further analyzed by the United States government i believe that President Trump will understand that this is not the way to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor United States citizen race as i state my pump a.
