Illegally allowing the amazon to burn but warns foreign powers against. Risking a new arms race moscow and washington trade accusations at the un after a new american. U. N. Investigators say the scale of Sexual Violence against the world. Military shows genocide. Follow south koreas intelligence sharing pact with japan and yet another escalation of tensions between the neighbors japan has called souls this is regrettable and has summoned the south Korean Ambassador the deal was aimed at sharing information about threats posed by north korea and its missile and Nuclear Program for ministers from both countries have been meeting in beijing to try and find a solution now the 2 countries are locked in a bitter row over trade and japans wartime atrocities in the last century last month tokyo restricted exporters from supplying south Korean Companies become a necessary to make smartphones on display screens south korea is the Worlds Largest supplier of computer chips and smartphone displays tokyo has also decided to strip seoul of preferential trade status citing National Security grounds. South korea says the measures are in retaliation to Court Rulings that order Japanese Companies to compensate victims of forced labor during japans occupation of korea lets bring in rob mcbride hes joining us from seoul to kind of break all of this down for us robyn it was a bilateral dispute at seoul and in this intelligence sharing part is going to have an impact on other countries including the u. S. And north korea what kind of impact do we expect. Thats right the reason it has taken everyone by surprise here people were expecting right up until the last minute despite this deepening round south korea regret jingly would renew this pact or at the very least simply freeze it but very few people were predicting this kind of terminations we have heard south korea saying that all the blame falls on japan for what it calls a very grave change in Security Cooperation the japanese predictably perhaps have said this is very regrettable shinzo our base has just said from tokyo that this is very bad for busy the trust between the 2 countries and japan has also attacked south korea saying its unacceptable for south korea in this way to be linking security with trade but people here in south korea says well its a hangout its japan that 1st link trade with this Controversial Court decision that found in favor of victims of forced labor from the 2nd world war so it it is opened up all of these decades old and your boss cities between the 2 former adversaries and of course that makes the United States very nervous the 2 of its most important regional allies it has called for calm to prevail for them to resume a dialogue and it comes at a time of course when we see increased cooperation militarily between china and russia in this part of the world and also increased activity from those. Career and interestingly daryn really young ho the north Korean Foreign minister has chosen this moment to further stir the pot by saying that american sanctions are a miscalculation and saying that north korea is prepared for both dialogue and confrontation so all eyes on beijing rob as foreign minister is there and trying to find some sort of solution is a breakthrough possible at all it does seem unlikely given the frostiness of relations between the 2 Foreign Ministers and indeed between the 2 governments and this is having all an impact increasingly on trade and businesses here in south korea we have this Ongoing Campaign of that the no campaign is basically boycotting japanese goods cancel your holidays to japan all of that is having an impact and now we have starting just this hour here in downtown seoul this friday afternoon the yes campaign this is in support of south korean businesses Many Companies is Small Medium Enterprises that do trade with japan and are likely to feel the fallout from this telling people here in south korea support your local businesses by korea and that of course this comes at a bad time for the korean economy course as it is between the trade war of china and the United States weve seen exports falling here for 8 months consecutive consecutively and so this is coming at a very vulnerable time for south korean business 3 all right thank you the amazon rain forest in brazil is on fire and its burning at a record rates and pressure is growing on the countrys president to tackle its french president a menu and matt hall has called it an International Crisis center is accusing countries that donate money for preserving the amazon off interfering with brazils sovereignty it is ok to reports. Dramatic video captures the fury of the flames eating away at the Worlds Largest rain forest this is just one of several 1000 fires currently consuming swaths of the brazilian amazon and the world is watching were very concerned about these fires both for the immediate damage that theyre causing and also because sustained force is crucial in our fight against Climate Change the amazon produces 20 percent of the worlds oxygen thats why its called the planets lungs but environmentalist warn if the burning continues at this rate the rain forest will transform to a landscape resembling the african savannah and rather than produce oxygen the antidote to Global Warming the former rain forest will humid carbon instead in brazil sister e was soon difficult situations but for the 1st time we have this kind of situation that was created almost with official encouragement from the Government Environmental groups say ranchers and log are started the fires to clear the land. They blame brazils president. As a candidate he promised to give businesses access to Natural Resources to restore the countrys economy as president hes gutted funding for brazils environmental and forstmann agency and he now says without offering evidence that environmental groups set the fires themselves. Or now the amazon is bigger than europe how can you fight criminal fires in such an area it is clearly criminal how can you do it you need to catch them in the act otherwise theres nothing you can do now nongovernmental organizations are losing money money that came from germany and norway they are unemployed now so they are trying to overthrow. The hash tag pray for amazonas has been trending on twitter. And other World Leaders have reacted as well our house is burning literally twitted french president emanuel it is an International Crisis hes called on members of the g. 7 summit to discuss the amazon fire at their upcoming meeting this weekend. Castro aljazeera washington across the border in bolivia the government has asked for a super tanker plane to contain wildfires raging in the east more than 650000 hectares have been destroyed environmental organizations say 500 species of wildlife are risk soldiers have been deployed and president has created a new environmental emergency cabinet to deal with the crisis russia and the u. S. Have accused each other of risking a new arms race at the u. N. Security council the meeting was requested by russia and china to discuss washingtons testing of a Nuclear Capable missile comes after washington pulled out of a cold war era missile treaty she had returned see reports from the u. N. It took just over 2 weeks for the u. S. To test a land based intermediate range tomahawk missile following its withdrawal from the intermediate range Nuclear Forces or i. N. F. Treaty in early august the agreement signed at the height of the cold war between washington and moscow in 1907 led to the destruction of thousands of missiles for the long been a source of fear for europeans it was clear their countries would be the battleground in any nuclear war the u. S. Maintains it had no choice but to withdraw for 2 reasons the russians have long flout of the agreement something moscow denies and china which is not a signatory has been building up its arsenal of intermediate missiles these developments by the Russian Federation and china coupled with their aggressive and course of behaviors are key Drivers Behind a deteriorating security environment the United States will not and cannot ignore this reality but russia says the launch proves what both the obama and the trumpet ministrations of long denied its the u. S. That has been flouting the treaty with its deployment of what washington calls a Missile Defense system in Eastern Europe the missile launcher used in sundays test is the same model that the u. S. Has deployed in rumania and poland but with modifications to allow it to launch fans of intermediate Nuclear Missiles and moscow chided the u. S. Allies for sitting quietly as washington unilaterally nullified another treaty designed to preserve interNational Security. Usually when you can you might just as well but that do you really not understand that what youve done with the americans step by step your returning to historical situation when missiles were targeting european cities from different sides. The us allies however did stick to washingtons line albeit while expressing concern about a new arms race china also stuck to its long held line its Nuclear Arsenal is defensive and dwarfed by those of russia and the us so its not relevant to this discussion so we. It is not acceptable to use china as an excuse for leaving the treaty china rejects the baseless accusations by the United States in fact recently the trump ministration has been making it pretty clear it left the i. M. F. Primarily because of china the us defense secretary even expressing the hope that soon perhaps in a matter of months they will be and into me during conventional missile capability in the Asia Pacific Region where its unclear which Asian Countries would want to host such missiles and become a target just as europe was during the cold war.
