india needs a good health care system india needs a good transportation system india needs better public services of all kind and less corrupt public services of all kind and again the is something we tell him not because it's going to benefit us directly but because we have the experience of 300 years of industrialization and a great. standard of living that they aspire to in india and looking at sort of an economic game theory this us in india had $142000000000.00 in bilateral trade in 2018 according to the u.s. state department and as you noted india sells more to the u.s. and vice versa they've got a $20000000000.00 trade surplus with the united states so they would seem to have more to lose from a fight but the indian chamber of commerce says that bilateral trade could reach as high as $500000000000.00 over the next 5 years and he also has the $600000000.00 internet users that companies like facebook and amazon would like to reach so they've got real assets here what's the real balance of power of interests here when india has so much growth potential. well certainly our major tech

the make an india program. this exact same policy program was called the national manufacturing policy under the congress-led upa government. i know that the make an india program which is designed to help boost the component of the gdp that the manufacturing sector contributes, it has not remotely met that target. because the percentage of gdp that manufacturing contributes really hasn't bujd dged in the t five years. on the other hand, there is increased interest from some companies around the world for setting up some manufacturing in india. has it produced the lefrl of investment that people have hoped for? not yet. so the most important challenges in the context of trying to boost manufacturing as a way to further developing the india economy, creating jobs, boosting levels of posterity, growing the middle class. some other things that haven't happened are the labor and land reforms that milan spoke of, because that's creates the context of getting india in a better place where it can be a manufacturing po

we start today with strained relations between india and the united states the u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe is in new delhi for talks with indian prime minister narendra modi and indian leaders now ahead of the trip pump called india an important partner in security and energy but there are plenty of points of contention between india and the us right now 1st and foremost is trade the trumpet ministration has lashed out at india for high tariffs and this month it withdrew special trade privileges for india the indian government has retaliated with higher tariffs on some u.s. goods india's deal to buy s $400.00 missile defense systems from russia has also raised controversy it could trigger u.s. sanctions which prohibit doing business with russia defense sector new delhi's looking for a waiver to avoid penalties now this is what pump aoe had to say about those pressures that a press conference with india's minister of external affairs but as the secretary of state i've never found a partner now i don't matter how close we didn't have rob he didn't have places

this match is so important, for india. this is more thana important, for india. this is more than a cricket match, this is war. i think the indians will be happiest in the stadium. rohit sharma is enjoying himself. you can... england's justin rose will go into the final round of the us open later today just one shot off the lead. topping the leaderboard still is the american gary woodland, who will begin the day 11 under par at pebble beach. but rose, who's 2013 us open win remains his only major victory, is breathing down his neck — he moved to ten under after another impressive round in california. rory mcilroy is still among the chasing pack and is five shots off the lead. i'm not chasing. i'm so close to gary, i will go and play my game tomorrow. i think it will be dictated by the pin placement and the weather tomorrow as to how aggressive you can be and what it will take to win. i make no predictions tonight on what tomorrow will feel like. i will assess it in the morning. hopefully i will be in a better spot. i have been pleased with howl i have been plea

and for more i'm joined by andrea hang in singapore under way are we just heard india has so far been reluctant to participate in china spent on road project could this summit be about china trying to persuade india to change its mind. i think if china wants to do that monica it has to be something of a slow downs india is very fearful of any potential detriment that china is reputed to have with other countries and as well as the territorial joblessness that china tends to display now adding salt of the war in india recently signed in joint deal with japan to develop colombo port in sri lanka all of that is more obvious strategic position rather than a political one to come to the belt and road so overall with india china needs to come a little bit cleaner about belt and road and india will be a willing partner if the terms and open where china certainly seems to try and increase sort of partnerships with some regions its economy has shown signs of slowing down factory output down to a 17 year low also due to the u.s. china trade war of course in how far is this summit a show of asia

india is the second largest country in the world. we are the fifth or sixth largest country in the world, both of us have huge industry, so i think it is only natural, but our two countries, stay engaged, and there are conflicts and disputes between our two countries. that the new government, and i come back to what i said earlier, i think there is a consistent pattern that you see , in terms of our desire, and our quest for peace with india. and, don't take it in any way as a kind of weakness, but it is born out of this recognition, you know, that these two countries people and populations have tremendous pretension, even before taking over, the prime minister had clearly said that addressing prime minister modi, that we do not need to fight, there are lots of people out there below the poverty line. we need to fight poverty. obviously we would want to resolve issues, and there has been the core issue of relations between our two countries, india believes that terrorism is the issue, and that is what our prime minister and our leade

india, which is the tariff king,. president trump has called india out was policies. just this month the and india's preferential trade status for not honouring the code to access to indian markets. it does look like raising tariffs is protectionism but it is also really, in the heart of trade negotiations, if the us and china agreed to particular trade agreement, it is going to become the template for the rest of the world. many experts say that india could stand to an effort from foreign investment as a result of the us— china trade well. but there are concerns that with so many duties and tariffs in place, india may not be able to take full advantage of this opportunity. now let's brief you on some other business stories. the head of the us central bank jerome powell has used a speech to stress its independence. it's widely expected to cut interest rates soon and has been under pressure from president trump to do so. speaking in new york mr powell said the fed remained focused on the economy's long term health but added there was growing concern about the outlook

from russia india also have i think it's concerns on the tensions in iran because a lot of india's oil supply comes from the strait of hormuz and from that region in addition to the trade with the region so these are all points that one highlighted between both sides and the idea centrally being that once these points have been highly active both sides can go back think with cool heads and try and walk on the problems of time because you mentioned contacts and we should say that at the end of this week the g. 20 will get underway in a random o.t. and donald trump will need bare face to face judging from what you've seen today in delhi what can we expect from that meeting other than what this meeting has done is really taken the tension out of the year it is going to allow donald trump that in the room or the 2 need in an environment which is a free from the tension that has been building up in the bathroom of the pretty clears the air for both of them to have friendly and convivial conversations and potentially play on the personal chemistry that both men claim they have with each othe

what is a record against india? to the nation. what is a record against india ? wreckers to the nation. what is a record against india? wreckers have to be broken at some stage... just remind us? 6-l. our argument would be we wonder the final so we would accept that any day of the week. it is difficult to imagine though you sitting there just enjoying the moment. there is a huge amount of pressure and what i have realised in my four—month and pakistan already is that every night there are cricket talks shows on, everybody is interested in it in the country. everything has an impact and effect on the people within the country which ultimately has an effect on me. i have gone from a culture and environment in england now being situated in pakistan where it is all consuming every single day. in the near future, consuming every single day. in the nearfuture, in fact consuming every single day. in the near future, in fact it has really been consuming you, the difficulty pakistan faces and that is attracting test teams into your country. no test cricket since the ter

how would you feel if india lose? 0h, man! i hope india win. thank you very much. we expect the match to resume any time soon. the hopes of an entire nation rest on one cricket match. i know what result everyone here wants. thank you very much. and just to remind you india is 305—4 after 46 overs — pakistan are yet to bat. a surgeon who served time in prison for killing a patient before his conviction was quashed has raised concerns about the way black and ethnic minority doctors are treated by the professional regulator. figures obtained by the bbc suggest the general medical council is more likely to investigate complaints against bame doctors than those who are white. i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. david is a respected colorectal surgeon with over 20 years —— over a0 years of experience in the nhs and private sector. in 2010 a patient died under his care. he was investigated by the gmc, then charged and convicted of gross negligence manslaughter. he was later cleared on appeal after serving 15 months of a two—year prison

india. , and i think that is where we need to be careful, let anyoneshould not owntry basically pursue its medical agenda vis-a-vis pakistan -- its own political agenda vis-a-vis pakistan this way. we feel we have done a lot. we are clear and determined to do more, but we would not want the jury to be rigged. there are already predetermined positions, in the statements issued by the indian minister for finance, the statements issued by other leaders, particularly calling for the blacklisting of pakistan. ironically, india is also the cochair of the apg. so you put yourself in , whattion, and you ask us should our confidence level be of thes of the fairness jury sitting in judgment on our performance. said that, we are taking it seriously and we are determined to take it to the logical conclusion. george: the good news is i think china becomes the chair after india, so a few more months, you can breathe easier.

is it a big deal to beat india? it's a pretty good deal, notjust because it's india versus pakistan but because it's like real madrid versus barcelona, sport rivalry too, so that makes it very exciting as well. sunday's game will be the first between the neighbours since the conflict in february that saw pakistan shoot down and capture an indian pilot. i'm sorry, i'm not supposed to tell you that, sir. this advert spoofing his interrogation video in which he politely refused to answer questions while sipping tea has attracted both laughs and some criticism. you believe now? 0k, sir. for most fans, though, cricket is a rare opportunity to unite the two nations. i think primarily, we have the same culture and i think cricket can be used as a bridge between the two countries for peace and for stability throughout the subcontinent so i think irrespective of who wins, at the end of the day, a good game and peace is what matters most. pakistan—india game have, at times, produced some of cricket's greatest moments. playe

india or pakistan? india! pakistan! just in case we needed any more build—up, real sense of passion there. you can watch that on five live sports extra. all of that will be affected by the weather and there will be whether on its way, rain specifically. yes, there is definitely whether on the way, but it is just so hard to say exactly where. it is so difficult to say but there will be quite a few showers around through this morning and this afternoon. some beautiful weather earlier on. most of us were asleep. a lot of clear skies. these shower clu bs a lot of clear skies. these shower clubs have been moving in and you can see they are affecting many western and south—western parts of the uk. showers are relatively small, carried on by an increasing breeze there. five miles across, one mile across. exactly where they go. some of them will bring lightning. but that is possible almost anywhere. showers have been blown in by the breeze. 20 celsius the best. a wet end to the day and start to the evening in belfast, glasg

in india's case, india has been deferring this decision for years. they been talking about it since 2018 -- a they been talking about it since 2018 —— a year. that they would be introducing these retaliatory tariffs. they were hoping they could strike a deal, some sort of deal with united states. i think what triggered this decision is a few weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago the united states withdrew the preferential trade studies which india enjoyed, under which indian companies and exporters didn't have to pay any tariffs in the united states on more than 1000 products. soi states on more than 1000 products. so i think that's really when the us decided to withdraw that that india decided to withdraw that that india decided to withdraw that that india decided to go ahead and impose these tariffs. thank you sameer without update data with that update. now let's brief you on some other business stories. power has been restored to much of argentina and uruguay, after a massive electrical failure left tens of millions of people in the dark. the blac

given india had to sort of rebellion and india has not done it all of a sudden this was being talked about since last june so for one india as we're going to be ns and now after this that it's on and i mean you haven't seen india had to do this. is indeed a strong position here at employment up growth can you really afford to shake the shake the boat like this with the us girl it is down in the sense you just didn't have a really good growth as compared to many other countries growth is down in india in quite the growth is down slightly and that is also degradable but then. i don't really quite because as well in the u.s. is the biggest trading part of the largest one but if indian products awful at the u.s. it dubbed opt out it's then. into leaves us with just ireland and those 2 so it's not going to cause the white house is saying actually it's india that on the wrong foot here that india hasn't guaranteed reasonable naked double access to the u.s. to its markets is that a fair assessment. inside to me is yes because they don't access to certain companies like amazon apple in terms

india, which is the tariff king... and president trump has publicly called india out for its policies. just this month he ended india's preferential trade status for not allowing the us, quote, adequate access to indian markets. on the face of it it does look like raising tariffs is protectionism, but it is also really hits at the heart of trade negotiations. if the us and china end up agreeing to a particular trade agreement, then that is going to become the template for the rest of the world. many experts say that india could stand to benefit from foreign investment as a result of the us— china trade war, but there are concerns that with so many duties and tariffs in place, india may not be able to take full advantage of this opportunity. donald trump has called the escalating trade war with china, quote, a little squabble. but after he raised tariffs on $200 billion of chinese goods, beijing retaliated with china, tariffs of their own. us consumers will be caught in the crosshair. so how much of what the us presid

ironically, india is also the cochair of the apg. so you put yourself in our position and you ask us as to what what our confidence level be in terms of the fairness of that jury sitting in judgment on our performance? but having said that, we are still taking it very seriously and we are determined to take it to the logical conclusion. >> the good news is i think china becomes the chair after india. a few more months and you can breathe easier. i wanted -- what you said is really important. as you know, the people who followed developments in pakistan and the region more broadly over the years will remember president sharif said the same in 2002. and other civilian leaders have also emphasized the importance of peace within the country and fighting terrorism within the country as well as those groups who project violence outward. and yet, things kept happening. so the question that people always ask is, what about the military? is the military on board? do they support these policies including the isi? in that regard i want to ask a

india will surely win this match. obviously there has been huge interest in this game around the world, especially in india and pakistan. our correpsondent secundar kermani is in islamabad, but first let‘s talk to rajini vadyaniathan in delhi. the crowds are already celebrating as if india has won this match. every time a pakistani wicket has fallen, people here erupted into spontaneous dancing. much of india has come to a standstill to see this match. more than 15 million people viewing this online alone. it comes just months after tensions escalated between india and pakistan. a few months ago, many wondered whether this match would even go ahead. hundreds of people had gathered in this park in islamabad to watch the match but most have gone home looking rather subdued. the game has been all anyone has been talking about today, including prime minister imran khan, a former cricket hero, who took to twitter to offer tactical advice earlier. the rivalry between pakistan and india is political as well as sporting but
