The burden of pain is very on even especially the 1st thing to say is that the Missile Program the weapons of mass destruction which is proceeding even if President Trump thinks it isnt the testing that weve seen i mean resources for that authority and the elite in pyongyang as far as we can see in the capital something of a showpiece city become slightly more like other cities or more commerce in recent years this is theres a very strange disconnect in the puzzle for us to analyze it i mean it you cant see the hurting that so the burden as ever is being born in the countryside by ordinary people workers miners particular the Mining Sector is suffering a lot and thomas frankly the regime doesnt care very much about them we do know from international u. N. Agencies and others how they are hurting say but the idea that sanctions will bring north korea to the conference table i think is is its out of the untrue if they are talking on and off that stuff its for other reasons so a mixed picture but definitely suffering even as the state continues to with its weapons program.

Palestinian protesters have clashed with Israeli Security forces following friday prayers in occupied East Jerusalem it follows the demolition of almost 100 palestinian homes in what home us on monday the homeowners that lost a 7 year legal battle to overturn an Israeli Military in the kitchen in order several human rights organizations and the un have criticized the demolition of matheson has not. Just a few moments ago the prayers here in what we call most ended and the violence began when it started when a group of Palestinian Protesters had also been holding prayers further up the hill started to make their way down carrying palestinian flags the group on this side of the fence which is the occupied East Jerusalem side of the fence started to make their way towards the fence as well in order to try to meet the opposing group in the middle as the Security Forces came down and attempted to stop the 3 protesters from throwing rocks and stones into the road the number of rocks began to increase we saw some tear gas being fired further up the hill the whole process of these the demolitions has been provocative since monday since the houses here in what he called those were destroyed by the Israeli Military and that has been a tremendous concern that what have up until now been peaceful protests. Its against these demolitions is going to turn into a situation like this. U. S. President donald trump has accused his french counterpart of fearlessness over adat Digital Services tax trump tweeted that he would announce substantial reciprocal action intake he may tax french wine france has 3 percent digital taxes to be levied on sales generated by multinational firms like google the trumpet ministration argues that it unfairly targets u. S. Tech giants the u. S. Got amala have signed an agreement to restrict asylum applications from Central America it comes just days after President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on the Central American country if it didnt agree to the deal the u. S. Has been struggling to stem a surge of Central American migrants trying to cross its southern border we are now at a point where we are we just get a lot of and theyre doing what weve asked them to do and i think its going to be a great thing for what about where they dont want these problems either so we were able to get this done and we got it done very quickly. You know its a good one mallos the finale clear on the responsibility that it has we are clear that we have to make changes in the way to do is working together with our brothers following thats what were showing here today and we are definitely committed to continue doing moon improving what we have. A serious political hay in his life or some washington following this story and putting what do we think this is greenwood is actually going to achieve. Well you know its really unclear in the end this might just boil down to a photo op for the president who has been really tough on this issue so basically what he says they signed is what hes calling a safe 3rd country that would mean that if anyone from lets say al salvador honduras traveled through guatemala of asylum in the United States they would 1st have to apply for asylum in guatemala only if theyre denied and then could they try to apply for asylum in the United States the reason that this is more difficult or not clear how this would actually play out is this was supposed to be signed before the Constitutional Court in guatemala said that the president of guatemala couldnt sign it now the secretary from guatemala that was in the Oval Office Said that that really was just procedural and they have cleared that up but its not clear that they quote him all of the president and his representative have the authority to actually sign this measure for the president hes allowed to say look its a victory were continuing to close down the southern border thats something that matters to his core supporters whether or not its actually going to go into effect remains to be seen and it does appear that guatemala didnt really have much choice. Know what a mosaic economy is completely dependent on the United States the president said he was going to do more legal visas for watermelon farm workers theres also another complication when it comes to United States the president and initiated this policy said that he was changing it basically that anyone who shows up at the southern border has to apply for asylum in the 1st country that they entered a federal court in california like most of the president S Immigration decisions said no you cant do that congress specifically has the authority to make these sort of regulations and this judge specifically said guatemala he said you showed me no evidence that guatemala is a safe country that it can provide the necessary support for these refugees that are seeking asylum you specifically said till you can show me a lot of knowledge can handle it youre not going to get this is already so its blocked in guatemala its blocked in the u. S. The president has his photo op that was unexpected he was able to say look were doing something on the southern border but unless the courts change their minds in both countries i dont think its clear that this actually happens or it possibly with the latest in washington thank you. Meanwhile trying to spoken over the phone with the new british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson and says the 2 already working on a post Free Trade Agreement trump would meet johnson at the g. 7 summit in france next month meanwhile is being e. U. To abolish the backstop in any new brics agreement it is the most contentious part of the brics a deal on one of the reasons why it has been approved by the u. K. Parliament. More than 3 football fields a minute its that is the rate of deforestation that is now hitting the brazilian amazon the Worlds Largest rain forest is being destroyed at a pace from which it may never recover 1345 square kilometers of forest have been cleared so far this month mostly for farmland that is nearly the size of london a 3rd of all pristine rain forest in brazil has been cut down or burned and that includes places where tribes of people have cared for the land for centuries Scientists Say the amazon could now become a savannah brazils president has moved fast to dismantle environmental regulations cutting budgets and giving more power to miners and the Agricultural Industry but all this could also affect brazils biggest ever trade deal which is with the European Union its not yet been ratified and commits both sides to slowing deforestation and imo it is a Campaign Coordinator for fur and thats an environmental and social Justice Organization she says some positive steps are being taken to protect the amazon. This week on tuesday the e. U. Published an action plan which sees the e. U. For the 1st time opening the door to regulator measures that would set standards on the goods that the imports to ensure theyre not associated with deforestation are 1st. It wants this to be a Partnership Approach so the e. U. Is not going to impose its standards on other countries but the e. U. Does have a duty to respond to the increasing concern among you can see as about the impact that their consumption is having on forests on the people who depend on those forests and with this communication with this action plan that it published this week it shows that the e. U. Is for the 1st time willing to bring in new options that could be regulates or that would ensure that products that are being placed on the market from countries such as brazil would not be linked to human rights abuses. Or different station or the horsehair that smashed temperature records in europe this week appears to be moving towards greenland where it could cause record levels of melting greenlands ice sheet covers 80 percent of the islands territory and is the 2nd largest in the world but its been losing ice arsenic celebrating pace since the turn of the century the ice loss in 2012 was 4 times the rate in 2003 and there are fears that this summers heat could break that record the extent of the melt in june has been 4 times the average between 181 and 2010 this month alone greenland has already lost 160000000000 tons of ice through surface melting that is roughly 64000000 a lympics ice when poles why should we worry well the total volume of the ice sheet is 2900000 cubic kilometers if all of us eventually melts it will raise global sea levels by 7 meters so devastating most of the worlds coastal cities. Well for more on this im joined via skype i had a close the Natural Hazards researcher at the university of reading thanks so much for being with us on the program promise we could start by just explaining what we mean by surface melting is that the only way that greenland loses its all ice so surface melting is where the ice is coming into contact with hot in the atmosphere whereas we also get melting tripwire is touching the ocean water as well and so were getting a lot lost that way as well so its very concerning the amount that were talking about how do we know that Climate Change is responsible or at least partly responsible for what is happening in greenland so theyre hot temperatures that weve seen in your experience and very hot indeed very worrying. We can relate this directly to Climate Change because heat waves are really easy to link because its about temperature its about heat in the atmosphere and its about the global mean temperature. Is experiencing very very very high temperatures and thats very easy to make whereas things like floods and maybe when storms are not not quite as easy to relate because theyre more complicated. Is Greenland Ice sheet long term existence actually under threat i mean is it possible to have any estimate of of how long it actually has. Well the sorts of things we dont know about the melting so its very concerning the rate of melting and when you see this year after year we really do need start to worry about whats happening and because the melting can influence so many other things around that planet it can raise sea levels and the connections that we get across the planet in both the atmosphere and also the ocean. I think i think we need to be concerned and all were expecting is there a prediction that the heat waves weve been seeing in europe this week will be more of those which again can move further north and again affect greenland. Without a doubt were seeing more heat waves now and we know that our climate is going to get warmer so are expecting more prolonged heat waves more extreme heat waves in the future and yes many of them may travel travel north so we might get more of this melting again. What i mean the so much talk about it now and it is a very hot topic excuse the palm but what more should we be doing to be stopping the changes that were seeing happening or is it going to be a very very slow process so theres definitely some things that we cant stop now we are on a trajectory which is very worrying what we will see more heat waves but theres definitely things we can do now we can really think about stopping emissions we can think about protecting our rain forest which is a really important kind of land of the planet i am keeping keeping those rain forests as stable so there are practical things that we can do with the right place quite well you just might think well if you just mentioned the rainforest of course the Previous Report that that we were talking about was about deforestation happening at an amend scale particularly in brazil in the misson forest how concerned are you about that. Extremely concerned and the rate is so fast that i dont think we can quite go back from that theres nothing really we can do. To repair it in the same amount of time that were losing it extremely concerning how to really get to get your thoughts on analysis thanks so much for joining us. Including.
