Here is a brief look at Press TV newsroom's headlines from 18:00 GMT, July 3, 2018 to 08:00 GMT, July 4, 2018.
Yemen children plight
The head of the United Nations children's agency has called for peace in Yemen, saying it’s not possible to help Yemenis without peace. Henrietta Fore said the situation is rapidly deteriorating in the country. She added that Yemeni children are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking and recruitment as child soldiers. Fore stressed that a quarter million Yemeni women and children are in dire need of medical supplies. She said according to Yemenis, the country’s education and healthcare systems have already collapsed. The UNICEF chief made the statements after her four-day visit to the Arab country. Saudi Arabia and its allies waged war on Yemen in 2015 to reinstate a former ally. The campaign has left millions of Yemenis displaced.
Israeli ‘piracy’
Palestinians have strongly condemned Israel’s new law that will freeze money transfers to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestine Liberation Organization slammed the move that is to avenge payments to families of Palestinian prisoners accused of attacking Israelis and killed activists. PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat described the move as an act of piracy and a dangerous decision that threatens the existence of the Ramallah-based authority. Palestinian Authority said it was planning a response to the move.
Car tariffs warning
At a meeting of the World Trade Organization, major US trade partners have warned about the consequences of a possible US decision to impose additional tariffs on car imports. Japan says such moves and their countermeasures could seriously jeopardize the survival of the multilateral trading system. Over 40 WTO members, including the European Union, have warned that the US action could wreak havoc on the world market. Russia says the US is losing its reputation as a reliable trade partner. Several countries, including China and Canada, have expressed similar concerns. Washington is conducting a national security study that could lead to tariffs on imported cars and car parts. US President Donald Trump said last week that the study would be completed in three to four weeks.
Plot to isolate Iran carries heavy cost for US: Rouhani
The Iranian president says few countries support Washington’s schemes to isolate Iran. The president made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian expats in Austria. He described the Iranian diaspora as the bridge linking the Iranian nation with the world. The president also said Washington’s attempts to isolate the Iranian people will cost the US dearly. President Rouhani noted that US officials wrongly believe that if they put pressure on Iranians, they will give in to the language of force and threat. The president stressed that no power in history has been able to make the Iranian nation give in to illogical demands.
Israel Gaza crackdown
Israeli forces attack thousands of Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip who were holding a rally near the so-called buffer zone. Over 130 protesters were injured in the anti-occupation protest which was part of the weekly Great March of Return demonstration.
Argentina protest
Thousands of teachers have rallied in the Argentinean capital demanding higher wages. The protesting teachers marched through Buenos Aires and gathered in front of the Ministry of Education to show their discontent. They demanded at least 15 percent increase to their salaries. The march also coincided with a one-day national strike by the teachers, which is the fifth so far this year in the South American country.
