TRADE TARIFFS: U.S, Japan Sign ‘Massive’ Deal + More | Around The World

Good evening and welcome to the channel studios here in London with your international news around the world in five. More than 100 aid agencies have warned that mass starvation is spreading across Gaza. They accuse Israel of a siege and say Israel is not allowing food inside Gaza to be distributed. The agency’s statement says they are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes. On Tuesday, the Hamas run Health Ministry in Gaza said that 33 people had died of malnutrition in 48 hours. Israel, which controls all border crossings in Gaza, said there were 950 trucks worth of aid currently waiting in Gaza for international organizations to pick up and distribute. We continue our work despite the spreading famine, the severe shortage of food supplies. I haven’t had a single meal in the past 2 days. I’m barely holding on. My family is also struggling. They can’t access even the most basic necessities. We were forced to flee our home in De Albala because of the ongoing military operation. Right now, I’m sleeping at my workplace because there’s nowhere else to go. President Vladimir Zilinski has signed a bill that critics say weakens the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies, sparking protests in several cities and drawing international criticism. After the bill passed, hundreds of people gathered in Kev for the biggest anti-government protest since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. The new law grants the prosecutor general of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, and critics say it undermines their authority. Zalinski said both agencies would still work, but needed to be cleared of Russian influence. The son of a British couple detained by the Taliban 5 months ago, says he fears they may die in prison. Peter Reynolds and Barbie were arrested on the 1st of February while returning to their home in central Bameyan province in Afghanistan. Their son, Jonathan Reynolds, said their health was rapidly deteriorating with his father suffering serious convulsions and his mother numb from anemia and malnutrition. The UN has warned that they could perish in such degrading conditions if they do not receive medical care at once, calling their detention inhumane. President Donald Trump says the US has agreed to a massive trade deal with Japan, one of the country’s largest trading partners. Japan has agreed to invest $550 billion in the US while its goods sold to America would be taxed at 15% when they reach the country, below the 25% tariff Trump had threatened. Mr. Trump said on social media that Japan would open its economy to US goods, including cars, trucks, rice, and certain agricultural products. Japan’s prime minister welcomed the announcement, saying it was the lowest figure to date among countries with trade surpluses with the US. I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history, with Japan. We worked on it long and hard, and it’s a great deal for everybody. I always say it has to be great for everybody. It’s a great deal. A lot different from the deals in the past. I can tell you that. I’m going to call to order. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said his country will not accept a bad deal simply to reach a trade agreement with the US as a deadline of the 1st of August looms before US President Donald Trump begins to impose new tariffs. US importers buying goods from Canada will face a 35% tax if no deal is reached before the deadline. The UK government has revealed details of its plans to cut foreign aid with support for children’s education and women’s health in Africa facing the biggest reductions. The government said in February it would slash foreign aid spending by 40% from.5% of gross national income to 3%. A foreign office report and impact assessment show the biggest cuts this year will come in Africa with less spent on women’s health and water sanitation with increased risks, it says of disease and death. And fans, musicians, and former bandmates have all paid tribute to Oussie Osborne, the frontman of the pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath, who has died at the age of 76. I can ride. Black Sabbath have lost our brother, said the band’s co-founder, Tony Lomi. Elton John posted a photo with Osborne, Sir Rod Stewart, writing, “Bye-bye, my old friend. I’ll see you up there later rather than sooner.” Four guys from local guys from Aston in Birmingham who had a go and we got successful. And that that’s that’s something you can’t buy. Their reality TV show, The Osborne, broke new ground in the world of television entertainment. The music icon’s death came just weeks after his band played their farewell gig in his home city of Birmingham. It turns out to be the biggest grossing the highest grossing charity concert of all time. And that’s your international news around the world in five. Now back to the channel studios in Lagos.
