council the un human rights chief says the syrian regime and its allies are potentially carrying out crimes against humanity civilians are being pounded into submission or death the perpetrators of these crimes must know that they are being identified not dos years are being built up with a view to the prosecution and that they will be held accountable for what they have done syria must be referred to the international criminal court attempts to war justice and sure these criminals are disgraceful day five of the five hour pause in fighting it was no different from previous days with more airstrikes and shelling close to seven hundred feet than have been killed in the relentless bombardment the choices for nearly four hundred thousand people are to starve surrender or die. in addition to the attacks on residential areas rebel

you know damage to infrastructure. roads areas etc we see certain areas where there's severe damage we can go all the areas where there's no damage that we can see in the satellite imagery to certain areas but also out of that state but what red damage but there are definitely areas that we see you know heavily affected by half an hour at least sixteen people have been killed by coordinated attacks on the military headquarters and the french embassy in the capital love a day when it is say the math attack as he has guns and explosives join the assault that class has more. downtown ouagadougou on friday another attack at the heart of the que no hostages capital coordinated and well planned the targets the army headquarters the french embassy and its cultural center witnesses

say some of the attackers came by taxi others in a pickup they started shooting set fire to the truck and continued to fire off you know we did hear that there was so much gunfire damage everywhere two policemen went nearby the army headquarters there was a car with around four to six people when they opened fire there was an explosion we saw a lot of shots fired and a lot of smoke and then people started running. eight soldiers were killed several others wounded in sent to hospital after an hour long gun battle eight attackers were killed by the armed forces the army continued to comb the area looking for more attackers that may be on the loose fighter groups in this house repeatedly target burkina faso the country's capital is home to a base for the french special forces deployed in this hell to fight rebel groups clashes and frequent attacks have led to tens of thousands of people fleeing the area fighters regularly attack police outpost in the north of the country last year

a five percent if present all but one has promised this can be held at reports a group of countries have also vowed to buy it targeting china and the lesser quality steel u.s. president donald trump says is flooding the american market foreign steel brought into the united states will be slapped with a lid be of twenty five percent ten percent. ported to bring us jobs they did bring back was a major cap to steal boom in workers states like pennsylvania and michigan but trump when the house and well trump has singled out china it isn't even in the top ten among steel exports to the united states according to the u.s. commerce department it's canada that ranks number one as sixteen percent of all exports to the u.s. well china is that number eleven responsible for less than two percent of the steel

imported into the united states may find that they found the u.s. adopting anti-dumping anti subsidy tariffs in hundreds of cases of imported steel and aluminum products is to protect their domestic products of all countries imitate the u.s. approach then this would have a serious impact on the global trade order fears of a global trade war have sent world financial markets into uncertainty and on twitter trump defended his position arguing the trade wars are good and easy to win that trade war appears underway canada mexico china australia brazil and the european union are all threatening retaliatory measures against u.s. products this is not something we wanted to see and that we will continue to engage with all levels of the american administration in the coming days so that the understand that this proposal is unacceptable not sit idly while our industries which we've done for measures that put thousands of your paying jobs at risk the

e.u. the reaction from many and commensurately to defend our interests one of europe's largest appliance manufacturers electrolux says as a result of trump's announcement it is delaying an investment of more than two hundred fifty million dollars in the u.s. state of tennessee it appears that trumps tariffs designed to save american jobs in the industrial sector now putting other u.s. jobs at risk kimberley health kit al-jazeera washington. well sal feingold is an attorney and republican political strategist who joins us via skype from taipei good to have you with this one both of the impact on asians thin exports and well as your colleague just indicated the for some of the asian exporters their percentage of the u.s. steel import total is relatively small and in fact that's why we see the reaction from the governments or asian stock markets over the last few days after president

trump made this announcement is relatively muted we see a lot more vociferous reaction from the countries that are said large amounts to an often with government support that's canada and europe is that this is a misguided move given that it was primarily aimed at upsets in china well we have to keep in mind that there is a wide number of issues on the bilateral agenda between the united states and china whether it's the security issues like north korea or the numerous trade issues one thing we have to keep in mind is that chinese products broadly speaking enjoyed easy access to the u.s. market not just steel but across the entire product mix and this is something that president trump wants to address and he could just be starting out with we saw earlier on when we see jinping visited the united states in april of two thousand and seventeen very quickly china announced measures to allow us to troll products

to enter china more easily so there are broader issues at stake beyond these specific healing aluminum products sold but in this case it's going to as you say is going to cause more and europe in markets other markets other than asia and that in turn could backfire against very many american businesses. well it's true there are always people who benefit your people who might be hurt from this the europeans threatening to impose higher tariffs on harley davidson is this probably not an effective strategy that is not going to cause president trump to change his mind about imposing the steel tariffs all tamale what's going to happen is there's going to need to be a negotiation between the united states and european trading partners and in that negotiation the europeans or the canadians are going to have to address some of the other concerns that the u.s. has with access to those markets so we have to keep in mind the president truck might simply be using steel to gain leverage on other trade barriers and we

shouldn't dispute the fact that other countries do make it more difficult for u.s. products to enter than it is for their products to enter the united states and ultimately that is what upsets president trump so much ok well wonders how those negotiations are going to pan out though because as it stands you've got the u.k. saying it's still trying to seek clarity on what see this move is and when you look at the trump administration it seems that there isn't really any clear coherent policy across the administration on this as well. well certainly a lot of news reports and even statements from some u.s. administration officials indicate that there is not a unanimous view in the white house on this issue that's a fact however it seems pretty clear that the one person who has decision making authority president trump is going in the direction of announcing the imposition of these tariffs once that is announced and it could possibly come as early as next

week that is the policy and everything that we're seeing in the last few days about some are for it some are against it within the u.s. government will no longer be raul and at that point there will need to be negotiations between the u.s. and its major trading partners and like any negotiation there old have to be some give and take and again what president trump is seeking is a reduction in the trade barriers that impact u.s. products and during those countries markets well style feingold good speech hey thanks for joining us there from taipei thank you. president trump has repeatedly accused chinese firms of copyright theft that issue is at the heart of the current trade friction between china and the u.s. but chinese firms are fighting back in american courts and winning edge and brown reports. just over a decade ago this electrical components firm in eastern china faced an uncertain future it was being sued in a u.s. court over intellectual property rights the chinese company for the action

eventually able to prove that the plugs and other devices manufactured here were not copies the case lasted seven years chen whooshing the company's president told me he'd do it again if he had to. try american companies are using intellectual property rights as a tool to beat competitors from other countries the final go is to rule out on patters from the american market and the overtaxing was on the way shane warne is last us lawsuit in two thousand and ten by then he'd spent more than twenty million dollars in legal fees today he's become something of a celebrity in china's corporate world dispensing advice to other executives involved in similar legal battles as a target and pretty sure that this set a clear message and in lightened many chinese enterprises to deal with. with their

american competitors as china shifts the focus of its economy from heavy industry to innovation it's now clear that many of its companies are paying greater attention to intellectual property it is now something that is important to down the hallway. of these technology companies they're now fighting back they're fighting with apple or fighting with whoever it is that they believe is infringing on them so they're learning the rules of the game as it was taught to them. by the west and they're engaged in the process part of that process involves riches to trademarks they can show how innovative a country is twenty years ago china had none today it has more than one point three million including ones for the electrical devices made in china planned. and with chinese companies starting to grasp the importance of intellectual property the rule so prepared to defend those rights in a foreign kool aid to

police officers from several different agencies searching all over this campus and that's going to be a big search because spring break just started today that means much of this campus is empty lots of places for someone to hide so police will be going door to door searching for eric davis jr but so far they haven't found him and they don't know why a family reunion. just a couple of days ago it seemed as if president trump had been feeling that pressure this is the twelfth school shooting this year here in the u.s. and it's been a short year so far here we are the beginning of march and suggested a couple days ago that he was willing to make some changes but the white house today said that. he said that the president supports the second amendment that he

still supports possibly raising the age to buy a gun from eighteen to twenty one in the united states but the white house said he is on the same page with the national rifle association which has opposed changes for years here and a spokesman for the n.r.a. has also said that they are they understand that the president will not be seeking to make major changes however the students in that florida shooting incident have raised a lot of pressure on congress to make change so there are bills being considered on capitol hill and this like every other of those twelve shooting so far this year will continue to add pressure. now powerful still hammering the northeastern united states has flooded streets grounded flights in whole to trains from maine to virginia and one point seven million properties are without power and at least one person has been killed

italian politicians ahead of this weekend's parliamentary election they're willing center left democratic party has made a last push for votes in florence as polls but if they don't tear renzi firmly in second place many analysts predict former prime minister silvio berlusconi's party is likely to be part of a potential coalition and their party winning a nuff to govern on its own but as the five star movement is on track to be the single biggest party in parliament as a dem barber explains. well this final rally by the five star movement did feature betty grillo at the end he's the man who co-founded the party but there is a new generation now running it thirty one year old lady to my own hopes to be italy's next prime minister and he hopes he says he can do that without going into an alliance or a coalition with other parties but the new electoral system that italy has which is a mixture of proportional representation and first past the post might make that

very difficult his party was the biggest single party in around twenty eight percent but they were way behind this coalition led by silvio berlusconi and his puts a tally a party his partners a well known for their hardline stance on immigration luigi demaio has made a thing of not really talking about immigration trying to reach out both to the right and to the left on the youth vote he's promised things like a guaranteed basic income of around a thousand dollars a month he also wants to raise taxes on energy companies and whether or not he will stick to that line of not forming an alliance in parliament is hard to say because if as many people predict they'll be a hung parliament after sunday then he has suggested he could do some kind of deal with other parties without the giving them ministerial seats at the moment then really really hard to say who will emerge as the next prime minister. thousands of
