Well the aging is very sensitive about any issues touching on territory so theyve been furious with the statements were expect to hear from Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson shortly but weve already had a statement from the Chinese Embassy in the u. S. Saying that it firmly oppose the opposes this that the u. S. Is not taking into account any of the efforts that beijing has made to maintain peace and stability in the region including by reaching out to all the people involved for dialogue and negotiation it says that the u. S. Has been exaggerating the problems and deliberately sowing discord between china and its neighbors it also accuses the u. S. Itself of flexing its muscles and inciting confrontation in the South China Sea now it is true that u. S. Freedom of navigation exercises have increased in recent months and actually in june we had 3 u. S. Aircraft carriers sent to the region and that is quite a number we really havent seen 3 aircraft carriers at one time in the South China Seas and beijing saw that as a provocation the u. S. Itself has said that it is only responding to beijings actions and we have seen in recent months beijing wrapping up the building of artificial islands incidents with malaysian and filipino votes beijing naming administrative cities in the disputed areas of the spratly and the Paracel Islands and the u. S. Is saying that china has been doing this while the International Community has been distracted by the card 900 demick and beijing has flat out denied this so far catrina do stay with me because i want to ask you about another source of tension for beijing at the moment now china is accusing democracy activists and hong kong of trying to launch a revolution its described campaigning for recent primaries as a serious provocation which may have reached a tough new security law its imposed on the city more than 600000 people turned out over the weekend to choose candidates for septembers legislative elections and Hong Kong Katrina this is a suggestion that over half a 1000000 people could have broken this new law what could happen now. Thats right well the Chinese Government say is that they are investigating what happened presumably it wont be the 600 people that turned up on the weekend it may be those organizers who are held to account now according to a Statement Released by the Hong Kong Liaison Office on monday evening they called this election on this unofficial election completely illegal and said that it undermined the official election process which is due to take place in september and in particular they pointed fingers at any time who is a quite a prominent prodemocracy figure in hong kong hes a law professor and activist and he was quite instrumental in leading also the 2014 Umbrella Movement which took place in hong kong now benito has responded by saying that hes not intimidated the organizers in hong kong will not be intimidated at this is the time when prodemocracy leaders in hong kong need to be the loud as they need to stand up and continue process is like this unofficial primary of course this National Security law that has been put in place since the beginning of the month month it bans subversion secession and collusion with Foreign Forces and indeed the Chinese Government has said that they suspect that Foreign Forces were also involved in the planning of this this election that took place on the weekend so theyll be looking into that further and also they said that strange enough in looking into complaints against privacy that all of also allegedly been made against organizers on the weekend between e.

Its now been more than 3 years since 4 arab states imposed a land sea and air embargo on cata its legal bid to remove the air blockade now hinges on a ruling by the International Court of justice due to be issued on tuesday barra has a preview. This has been a long battle. The International Court of justice is the issue its verdict on a dispute over space rights. Its began in june 2017 when sandy arabia u. A. E. But her reign and egypt severed ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and blockade qatar took the case to the un calling on the International Civil Aviation Authority to declare the blockade illegal as part of the dispute the blockade in countries have barred qatari aircraft from entering their space which qatar says violates the convention on International Civil aviation referred to as the Chicago Convention the blockade in countries challenge the qatari move saying the u. N. Agency doesnt have jurisdiction to handle the case but into a 1018. 00 the International Civil Aviation Authority reject of that claim insisting that it does have jurisdiction to mars stone but we are not there yet in terms of qatars progress because while qatar will move a step closer into regaining airspace access that they like the rest of the world are entitled to fly over actually i k i have never dealt with anything quite like this in over their 70 years of existence then you can expect running in parallel to this a separate case that will be seeking compensation this isnt the 1st legal fight between qatar and its neighbors in 2018 the qatari government took legal action against the u. A. E. At the hague based court accusing it of a series of measures targeting qatari nationals. Those measures broke up families denied qatari students access to universities and medical facilities in the u. A. E. The Court Ordered the u. A. E. To allow families to be reunited and qatari students to be given the chance to complete their education in the emirates but i think that sort of part of the strategy. You know theyre going to. Use them or its a very sensible strategy to adopt is that. You need to have a solid legal basis for saying that the blockade was was our law or and the consequences or the blockade results in in legitimate legal action being taken International Efforts to mend fences between qatar and the blockade in countries have so far failed and the International Community has long been concerned that the blockade of qatar has undermined stability in the region. Aljazeera. Well its now been 5 years since the Iran Nuclear Agreement was signed in vienna but its future is uncertain after President Trump decided to withdraw from the dail and 28. 00 team since then its led to increasing tension between washington tara and the other thing. Democratic editor james baker has no. July 25th these are the signatories of the Iran Nuclear Deal 5 years on of the 8 top officials only the Foreign Ministers of iran russia and china are still in their posts but the real survivor some would say against the odds is the deal itself it was the culmination of years of negotiation and the final round of talks in the july heat wave in vienna was intense and difficult the key participants only glimpse briefly between meetings are you confident you can get a deal this bizzare. I have to be hopeful were his words before returning to the talks in which according to a number of accounts the french took the toughest line with iran their chief negotiator at the time was ambassador nicholas. Ambassador if you look at it now do you think you could have got a better deal. I just happened to arent you know its always like that. Youre out there shooting at us reach an agreement and if you dont you have a choice i got it get me man its our. Fate and i think we decide all of. That i think it rich respectively it is a good thing that it is a rather stick remount if you were to ask me 5 years. What was my set of mine in those days i was still skeptical and 2015 that tried to shoot in movement it would work but one man has made no secret of his view of the deal the iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the United States has ever entered into President Trump finally pulled the u. S. Out of the deal in 2018 it survived even though iran is not now fully complying with all its conditions the biggest test though is still to come here at the Un Security Council Us Ambassador to the un kelly craft wants the Security Council to extend the arms embargo on iran that expires later this year if she doesnt get her way shes threatening to use the Nuclear Deals most draconian clause whats known as snap back triggering the return of all International Sanctions on iran former french negotiator nicol our delivery is now his countrys ambassador to the u. N. What happens if the u. S. Try to trigger snap back. You know this is stimulation we see. I think. Its for us. In germany. Is. This you classroom work place its thought the u. S. Democratic president ial candidate joe biden would likely seek to rejoin the nuclear deal if hes elected in november but diplomats fear if snapback has been triggered by the trumpet ministration there may be no deal left to rejoin jamesburg aljazeera at the United Nations well as a result of the sanctions following the u. S. Withdrawal from the Nuclear Deal Iran is now asking south korea to release billions of dollars that are as for oil exports and transactions dating back several years speaking to al jazeera the Foreign Ministry says tear on is negotiating with the government and so on. We will explore all legal and diplomatic avenues to bring this money back to the country its held illegally in south korean banks and their reasoning is totally illegal and irrational the us is putting pressure on them thats not related to us its between them and the us our nation wants the money it earned through illegal trade barack weve had a historic and traditional relationship with south korea but these actions have negative impacts on this relationship. Former british socialized and longtime friend of convicted sex offender jeffrey abstain will face a judge in new york on tuesday maxwell has been charged for her involvement in and alleged sex trafficking operation had offenses expected to try to get her out of the jail where she is currently on suicide watch cable elizondo reports from brooklyn. The metropolitan Detention Center in brooklyn has a troubled history last year the entire prison was without power for more than a week leaving inmates without heat during winter last month the detainee died after being pepper sprayed by a guard now several inmates have tested positive for corona virus this jail is now home for good Lorraine Maxwell the british socialite arrested earlier this month on charges she lured girls as young as 14 into sex with her longtime associate and boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein epstein was arrested last year while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges he was found dead in his jail cell in another new york prison it was ruled a suicide prison officials dont want the same to happen to maxwell theyve reportedly taken away her bed sheets or anything else that she could use to harm herself or that could be used by other inmates that want to harm her according to a lawyer that represents 6 of maxwell and epsteins alleged victims such precautions are necessary there are a number reasons why i dont think miss knox will leave prison alive 1st and foremost because of the information that she knows but secondly. I think that. When forced to reflect on her lifes activities and what she has done in the past it may catch up with her and whether she decides to take her own life or whether and i guess ill be set this way you know prisoners are not friendly to child abusers at maxwells arraignment and bail hearing on tuesday prosecutors will point to the 1000000. 00 home she was living in at the time of her arrest as proof she has access to funds and is a flight risk if she is granted bail its expected prosecutors will push maxwell to reveal all she knows in exchange for avoiding a trial possibly getting a lighter sentence but for this to happen she has to remain alive.
