6:22 pm
so u.s. president donald trump's relationship with north korea's kim jong un seems to be all smiles but his trade ties with western allies and china are on rattling the u.s. slapped a twenty five percent tariff on imports of steel and a ten percent tariff on alimony i'm on the european union canada and mexico earlier this month not surprisingly they plan to respond with their own tariffs on u.s. goods and it was reported on friday that trump has approved tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports the decision could spark a trade war between the world's two biggest economies flawlessly has that. ultimately the u.s. wants to reduce its trade deficit with china and it wants to give american companies greater access to the chinese market the two countries have been holding talks to avoid a possible trade war and after three rounds of talks the chinese have agreed to increase their purchases of farm and energy products from us by as much as seventy
6:23 pm
billion dollars but if these tariffs go ahead that deal will be void and china has threatened to further action what many of. them if the united states takes unilateral protectionist measures harming china's interests we will quickly react and take necessary steps to resolutely protect our fair legitimate rights if the tariffs posed they could complicate the relationship between china and the u.s. at a time when the u.s. needs china's help in enforcing u.n. sanctions on north korea the trumpet ministration believes it has these tougher sanctions that played a part in forcing north korea to the negotiation table but some analysts also say because the talks between north korea and the u.s. were a success then trump now has a little bit more leeway to be tougher on china with regards to trade because china is not going to want to derail the process for denuclearization on the korean peninsula because that is consistent with china's own security interests for
6:24 pm
joining us now from london to talk more about this is andrew kenning him chief global economist at capital economics thanks very much for being with us so first off what are the implications then of what is looking right now like a major trade rift between the u.s. and canada. well the implications for canada itself are potentially fairly large and canada exports a lot of steel to the united states. and it's one of the key members of nafta and if the united states walks away from laughter as well as imposing the steel tariffs we could see slightly weaker growth in canada perhaps a by about half a percent of g.d.p. over the next couple of years so it's a negative not perhaps a huge one but certainly a negative well what are the chances then that the u.s. under trial could actually walk away from nafta i mean there are questions in the u.s. about whether he actually has the authority to do that by himself but putting that
6:25 pm
aside. given that given the current state of relations is it is that a real possibility well it did look rather unlikely a few weeks ago because the two sides seem to be reaching an agreement on the most controversial issue which is about cars and the local content in the car exports so we thought an agreement might just be reached but it's now looking less likely again and we have elections coming up in mexico which could result in a more populist president who would be less likely to reach an agreement with the u.s. so i think it is a possibility i mean it's very hard obviously to read president trump's mind but it's a possibility but not perhaps the most likely scenario i think more likely we see negotiations drag on. and then along with all of this we see china stepping into the breach more it seems when it comes to the issue of free trade with
6:26 pm
a whole one one belt initiative what do you make of that because that's something that would would have been unthinkable just a few years ago i think the china u.s. situation is potentially more damaging for the world economy and we could well see trump the u.s. administration impose significant tariffs on china in the next few days even the suggestions that could affect maybe up to one hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese exports to the united states and and certainly that would have a negative impact both on the chinese economy and also on business confidence more more generally but i think the provided that the measures don't go much wider than what has been threatened so far these world remain issues for particular industries and for particular countries rather than something that threatens the overall situation of the global economy which actually still looking quite good and it
6:27 pm
would seem as well that the. the much heralded trump kim summit in singapore is already reaping benefits for china what's your view on that why i think it's very early to to jump to that conclusion the markets barely reacted to the summit which is interesting but then of course they barely reacted a year ago when trump was threatening north korea with fire and fury so i think the markets are right that they think that we need to wait and see and that there's a long way to go before we can be confident that the north korean regime and kim himself is willing to denuclearize it will be very difficult thing for both sides to do does he have it right on tariffs no i think i mean i'm i am agree with the vast majority of a comma. yes that protectionism is very unlikely to be helpful the only way he could work a could work out well i think is if other countries were to open up and there would
6:28 pm
be some kind of trade deal for example china being more willing to let investment into its banking sector perhaps reduce tariffs on on car imports so that's the only potential positive outcome but it doesn't look like that's going to happen the way that the trump ministrations going about things is very odd because they're putting the tariffs on a lot of their key allies as well as on their enemies in terms of the trade war and that's not going to help so be better if they were to work with europe to put some pressure on china for example rather than creating a sort of atmosphere where it's everybody against the united states could speak with me and you can and thanks for being with us you're welcome all right still to come on counting the cost it's being dubbed the naff don't world cup despite their frosty relations canada mexico and the usa will jointly host the event eight years from now. the first some of the biggest names in media are teaming

6:34 pm
it voted to leave the european union to try something else takes it he's run this business for nearly half a century selling parts of the region's manufacturing industry cities what's known as a heart of bricks it's a he shrugs off waters that leaving the european union might endanger his business people to the u.k. out completely and he's fed up with the government he supports get the job done. pretty stern. which is stern new for england stand for the table. push around and. they just don't do not the not doing it to the frightened what is it you think i honestly don't know or the see all the right things and then when it comes to doing that kind of the fallen on the doing of it. just up the road nissen employs seven thousand people with tens of thousands more in the supply chain if the u.k. abandons european trade agreements all those jobs could be at risk steve is the
6:35 pm
union representative of the workers its position is that if it happens it must be a soft warm allowing the u.k. to trade freely with europe otherwise the union fears disaster looms absolute devastation and i also think it would take decades to recover. anything to replace those jobs if there was a go at this more in time no it isn't. the government talks all the time about brics it enabling a global brisson free to trade where it likes this company does that already it makes tanks for water treatment plants and has plans to expand and for the company false it is a source of enormous instability and he wishes it would just go away i'm a strong supporter of the u.k. in general however i think the only norm is the thing that we're frightened of morse and i don't think the government's doing the best it could to give us the information communication on the next steps in what's likely to happen on an exit from the e.u. in microcosm this region tells
6:36 pm
a story of how brics it has won the referendum that seem not to know what to do with their victory to mend this divided country as things stand there is no constituency in this country which is happy with the way it is being conducted not the hardliners who want to leave the european union completely not the remain as you want to stay in and not those people in the middle happy to accept some sort of in fudge but the one thing they would all agree on is there seems to be an almost total lack of political leadership a sense of where on earth the country is going next it's worth recalling that the points of bricks it was to allow the u.k. greater control of its destiny yet as of now nobody has any idea if it will happen whether it might improve all the things places like sunderland last. whether it will make a bad situation even worse. we're joining us now from glasgow is greg when chief economist at the global council thanks very much for being with us so it doesn't
6:37 pm
look like we're any closer at this point to knowing what regs it is going to look like the longer that goes on what sort of damage is it doing to the u.k. economy. well i mean there's one very simple reason why we're not any closer to understanding what is going to look like which is that the british government still hasn't made up its mind and there's no immediate sign of that being solved at a big divisions within the government the longer that that goes on the more likely we're to see firmness investors begin to. implement their contingency plans they will be planning on the basis of worst case scenarios which might even be that there's no deal we're told by the time yuki leaves the e.u. and certainly they'll be planning on the basis that there will be some disruption at the end of the transition periods so yes we are we are almost certainly
6:38 pm
beginning to enter a period where investors and businesses are adjusting to the delays in the negotiation how does this complicate business is in in the decisions that they have to make the longer this uncertainty goes on well if you are. a manufacturing business that's operating in the u.k. but it's relies on supply chains that extends into the rest of the e.u. our export sense of the e.u. market then certainly you will want to be sure that after bricks and customs arrangements will allow you to keep operating on a smooth straightforwards basis if you're unsure about that then you need to begin to plan and make changes to the way in which you operate and to take account of the worst possible scenario which might be that there are new customs controls and destructions at the border and that's what many businesses are focused on just now
6:39 pm
and talk to us about the mood in scotland where you are a lot of frustration being felt by. the government in london about the way they're handling things concerns particularly about the fishery industry there. yes fishing is a very sensitive political issued it always has been since the u.k. joined the e.u. . it's one of those areas where britain as a whole and especially scotland gives more than it takes in the relationship with the e.u. so there is strong support within much of the fishing industry for leaving the e.u. but look. the e.u. in this negotiation has a lot of leverage and it is very unlikely that the fishing industry is going to get what it wants from this negotiation the e.u. is going to insist that if if the u.k. has access to e.u. markets then you will have access to fishing rights around the whole of the u.k.
6:40 pm
all of this lack of clarity what what effect is this having. well you know there are two different issues one is the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland's and the e.u. is insisting that the have to be guarantees in the withdrawal agreements that there will be no hard border the u.k. wants to do that no way which doesn't create divisions between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. that may well end up tying the u.k. into the e.u.'s customs union for the for a period of time and scotland has a separate set of issues which is around devolved powers to the scottish parliaments the british government wants to take control over some of those powers so that when responsibilities are return from brussels they can set u.k. wide policy frameworks but the scottish parliament. objects to the u.k. government doing that unilaterally at the moment we have
6:41 pm
a standoff which has been resolved for the time being by the u.k. government really pushing through the changes that it wants to happen so we have a constitutional crisis of sorts and scotland's good to speak with you grego in thanks very much for your time you're very welcome all right artificial intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction is used now in smartphones cars and even children's toys exactly how businesses are harnessing its power has been on display at the world's largest ai summit in london so on you're going to go is there. when we think of the world of artificial intelligence it's a world that ranges from the mind blowing to the modern day but essentially it is part of what every day lives the phones that we use the vehicles that we drive in london that this ai summit is examining the practicalities go towards making our world a little easier to function so how is a guy be used here in this this motorbike well there are

point that it's been in hundreds of years it feels like it's ascendant and so it's not likely to back out some of the terrorists will likely bite chinese consumers the high a tax on soybean imported from the u.s. some of which is used for pig feet could ultimately drive up the price of domestic pork. but the tariffs could also hurt american farmers if china the u.s. is largest buyer of soybeans find substitute sellers elsewhere u.s. president donald trump has been hammering china on trade for months for his protection everybody take this to be one hundred fifty one b. in the hours are enough for us to get the work that i told you that you look at you in the face of going to look at something that would help these countries militarily and yes but what point this is that the u.s. tariffs target industries tied to china has made in china twenty twenty five a blueprint to dominate high technology industries they're also intended to punish
