1:11 pm
say they have driven out suspected boko haram fighters who are trying to enter the city faces a set of attack two villages on the city's outskirts al-jazeera as ahmed address is monitoring the story from freetown in sierra leone. although there is no claim of responsibility for the attack security sources believe but it's a while before and they came under the cover of darkness and attack these two villages on the outskirts of my degree they have always wanted to take my degree when they were taking territory in northeastern part of nigeria however they were unable to in the past nine years also now security forces and you might just work as believe that the death toll could rise because of the severity of some of these jurors the nigerian government offered some form of amnesty if they're willing to give up their arms but we from what we've seen over the last few months also it doesn't look like it's going to work this is not the first time the nigerian government offered amnesty to book which was rejected although. there were
1:12 pm
discussions between the government and the fighters however people in. use of the country called to new to want to hear about the escalation and what it could mean to their future and their lives china has responded to the recent steep tariffs imposed by the u.s. on steel and aluminum imports beginning on monday beijing will impose duties on one hundred twenty eight american products affecting some three billion dollars worth of imports it includes pork wine cherries and pistachios beijing says the move will safeguard china's interests and balance losses caused by the new u.s. tariffs last month president trump announced a twenty five percent tariff on imports of steel and ten percent aluminum the u.s. is cited national security as a reason for the tariffs with the chinese government says that it violates world trade organization rules china correspondent adrian brown reports from beijing. the
1:13 pm
experts the analysts warn that china and the united states could be on the brink of a trade war but it doesn't feel that way at this market here in central beijing although people are of course aware of the deepening trade friction between the two countries the new taxes of between fifteen and twenty five percent will hit one hundred twenty eight items including us nuts fruit wine and pork a twenty five percent hike on pork that is likely to hit china's middle class most of all but what do ordinary chinese feel about the prospects of a trade war at a time when inflation is double what it was this time a year ago datable might hope that if the u.s. wants to fight a trade war i will never buy their products no foreign products japanese korean american we have our own products or you know i think we should give up buying american products i'm chinese i must support our own products
1:14 pm
a new tariff on imported u.s. pork is of course good news for local producers but they don't make enough to satisfy domestic demand these are early days just last month of course president trump announced a second round of sanctions against china possibly more punitive he's going to be targeting some fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports and during the next couple of weeks his officials will be working out exactly what areas to hit but it saw that in his crosshairs on technology related industries at the moment the united states and china have been rapping each other across the knuckles so far there has been no body blow but that could come. let's get a view now from victor gao who's the director of the china national association of international studies he joins us live from beijing fix these chinese tariffs anything more than symbolic countermeasures.
1:15 pm
no i don't think so i think china and the united states are right now on the verge of a four liberal out a trade war the actions pulling to implement taishan today by the chinese government are related directly to the first round of tariffs imposed by the united states are steel aluminum products therefore the scope of the countermeasures is actually quite limited however the united states has already announced that the second wave of terrorists on the chinese exports to the united states which has a total dollar amount of fifty billion dollars and i understand the chinese government through their various departments are now drafting the list of countermeasures against the u.s. exported to goods to china and the second wave will be much larger then the
1:16 pm
measures announced put into action today therefore the chinese government has made it very clear that the united states as a member of the w.t. all need to abide by its commitments to that are blue teel any measure unilaterally imposed by the united states in violation of its obligations will trigger retire from china and china as such a big and important country or will not be pressured by the united states that we were not suffer such illegitimate of pressure from the united states therefore i think the world is on the verge of a full liberal outrage war and eventually both china and the united states will suffer and the rest of the world will suffer all right if it came to a full blown trade war china would have. far more to lose it as as an export far more to the us than the other way around. well you can have different ways of looking at that as
1:17 pm
a matter of fact many of the chinese exports to the united states are american made in china by the american companies operating in china or through their joint ventures and for example almost all the eiffel. sold by apple is assembled here in china therefore i think the reality is much more complicated and going forward i think at the talked about a list of countermeasures include the big items like boeing air plays wheat soy being. caught mean for example all kinds of things which have a direct impact on jobs in the united states especially in those states which actually ironically supported president donald trump in the presidential election therefore it will be messy and neither china nor the united states will expect to come out of his bloody trade war as a net wind up therefore if the united states and president obama try talking about
1:18 pm
more jobs in the united states the situation is moving in the opposite direction and i think the world the rest of the world should support china's commitment to w. teal and should support china those opposition to the unilateral trade tariffs levied by the united states in violation of the commitments the world will be better served if the united states abides by its commitments under the blue deal and avoid the overreach of its domestic law against foreign countries in its trade with a foreign country how would a full blown trade war impact upon china u.s. relations in general victor. of course i think it is impossible to believe that the trade relations between china and the united states were not spill over to political sphere and this is exactly very dangerous at the time where you have many of burning international issues which are require
1:19 pm
kohls of cooperation between china and the united states china has no problem with working closely with the united states or many important issues but china thousand not. cannot afford to sit idle when the united states imposes such a humiliating unilateral tariffs on china and suffer all these humiliations china has to stand up to defend its legitimacy urge the united states will go back to that framework and maybe china will need to suspend all cooperation with the united states or all the major international issues in the world and i think in that case the world would be less stable world for all mankind therefore it's very common to productive measure for the united states to impose such tariffs not only on china but on many other countries including european countries north american countries and countries in other parts of the world therefore the rest of
1:20 pm
the world the need to unite together to oppose such illegitimate trade tariffs imposed by the united states our exports to the united states by many countries to the united states including those from china ok victor always good to talk to seventy thanks david to go there in beijing. this is the news hour on al-jazeera still to come on the program rebuilding their lives people in northern may have bought the fled from war now fear that they'll never go home plus. i'm car leg at a special research center in qatar with flying to a testing new technology that will help doctors diagnose children suffering from autism in minutes rather than months. in sports this major league baseball player did something that hasn't been done in one thousand nine years we'll tell you what that is a little later in the news. a

1:38 pm
that we are both seen bits and into the creation that's access to diagnosis and we are not seeing real terms rather better understanding and whence there is of autism the more likely is that people are going to be identifying money driven sounds for their children and seeking makes the nation for our and so one of the aims of world autism awareness day what are you setting out to do so what else awareness day is marked every year as an opportunity to talk about autism and raise awareness of all the different aspects of autism the national statistics society in the u.k. uses that as our opportunity to put out what we want the public spec to understand about autism so we've got a campaign called too much information which is there to increase public understanding of autism what we know at the moment is that pretty much everyone has heard of autism but autistic people and families feel there is
1:39 pm
a huge lack of understanding and that has a daily impact on their lives with as much as as many as one in one hundred people being classed or testing i mean it's pretty common as to why don't people already know who more than they do about the condition. we are starting to seeing more and more awareness and more understand but what we're saying is that for example there are around hundred twenty thousand school age children in the u.k. and autistic school age children in the u.k. and actually about seventy percent of those are now going to mainstream schools and not special education so you start to see more for example autistic children in mainstream schools so you get a little bit of awareness and understanding growing but what's the general public is a real insight into how autism in order to see people on a daily basis what was offered to me the people in their lives and crucially what
1:40 pm
they can do just in their everyday lives to make life a bit easier the more. than us but basically the the more that autism is is talked about it in our schools surely that the more understanding there will be in society in in years to come it will it all starts with education really doesnt it. it does but we know that it's not just about children there are just adults as well many of them may not have the opportunity to be done right now is within their lifetime so many of them are coming to autism quite late in life so actually an awareness is understandable to them is necessary right across society not just amongst children the national to society does. education resources provided to schools to help kids teach their goods about what. kind reach older generations is when creates. every year for work from where
1:41 pm
we. reach we release online our new that you have to it's is about how it's certain with unexpected changes and get overwhelmed by it since. it won't work too much. and what it does is it just goes to show what daily experience or just like the public gets the best from the standard not what ism is and what they need how tom really good to talk to you we wish you the best with that many thanks indeed tom purser the head of campaigns of the national autistic society in the u.k. . the u.s. president has tweeted that there will be no deal to protect people who arrived in the u.s. as children known as dreamers they came with parents who are undocumented migrants hundreds of thousands of them have been hoping to be able to stay in the u.s. diane estabrook reports now from washington. president donald trump began easter sunday with a holiday greeting on social media that later degenerated into
