about one hundred and one of those that had to reunite them by this coming tuesday administration was in court explaining it can't do that because you couldn't locate only about half or forty six of those one hundred one children under five there are three thousand children in total who were separated from their parents and the administration still is trying to meet the goal of reuniting those children with their parents the judge said the top administration might be able to get a delay if they could produce a list of these one hundred one children and their parents by five pm on saturday so that is what the administration is looking at but what this means is that the administration did not have a plan d. in one throws children with their parents when it separated the government lawyer said that the government would comply with that order but she would not personally be there for the saturday meeting because she had a dog sitting duties. china's premier league chang is seeking closer trade ties

with europe after the u.s. imposed tariffs on chinese goods is due to meet european leaders in bulgaria on saturday beijing impose tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of u.s. goods on friday the move follows u.s. tariffs on chinese goods worth the same amount from mcbride reports from beijing. china has always said it will match any u.s. tariff with its own at the ministry of foreign affairs briefing just hours after the us terrorists were imposed china promised to be true to its word. i want to stress that we never wanted to see the escalation of trade frictions into a trade war a trade war is the last thing we want to see because as we've said many times no one country will benefit. thirty four billion dollars worth of goods will be affected from farm products to automobiles chemicals and medical equipment as those u.s. products become more expensive china has been looking for other countries to supply

them china has been trying their hardest to diversify suppliers of energy of agricultural products especially when all the heat focused on saudi being on china has been boosted his investment in a lot of other unconventional countries for soybean exports such as russia in so doing say critics of the u.s. policy beijing has been forging deeper trade links with the u.s. competitors there will be no winners the question is will there be something lose more than anybody else right now though it looks like the united states is doing the opposite of what it intended it is in essence rallied the entire world against it and u.s. tariffs could ultimately hurt u.s. firms as well as chinese that's because far from being a straight forward take for tatts an easily winnable trade war it's complicated for example some of the chinese semiconductors the u.s. is. putting terrorists on use microchips that are designed and made in the u.s.

so those companies will also be hits. it's thought the u.s. is imposing tariffs to punish china for what it says are unfair trade practices and stealing american intellectual property rights but attending a gathering of sixteen central and east european leaders in bulk area chinese premier league co-chairing said foreign firms were safe in china. our view is that trade war is never a solution and i would never start a trade war but if any party resorts to increase of tariffs then china will take measures in response to protect the interests uphold the authority of the world trade organization and seal the multinational trade order as relations with the us continue to serve china's leaders appear to make new friends wherever they can probably bright al-jazeera beijing the football coach who led the group of young players into the cave complex in thailand has apologised to their parents the

scribbled note is the first contact from the twenty five year old who led the team into the underground caves rescuers say the twelve boys are not yet ready for the dangerous scuba dive to safety heavy rains are forecast that could worsen the flooding inside let's go live now to scott hyla who's in chiang rai the clock is literally ticking down now is it not scott when we expect the heavy rains to hit. absolutely semi it will you know this is month soon season here and you know we had a couple of light showers today it's saturday you know the forecast the heavier rain forecast is supposed to come on sunday hence the reason why there's such a stepped up efforts one of the reasons there's such a stepped up effort to get those boys out another reason was revealed just in the last hour or so actually more confirmed by the commander of this rescue operation and that is that the oxygen levels not only where the boys in the coach are but

also in other chambers where the rescue operators the rescuers are kind of staging a quick meant and handling things on the inside of the cave actually levels are going down it's not a dangerous level yet but since they've decreased they're concerned about how many people are in there so what they've done is they're taking out non-essential people so keeping the the amount of rescuers in the cave to a minimum if you will because they're worried about the reduction of oxygen level and we know now too that there are only four navy seal divers with the boys and their coach at all times sammy the skull correct me if i'm wrong this could go on the rains could go on for days what is the plan. they very well could go on for days and weeks and me the plan right now is still to extract them bring them out through this very complicated and multiroom risk exit the same way they weigh in it went in i say multi-faceted in malta i risk because you've got sections that are flooded you've got sections that are waiting water

height you've got sections of words just a hill and it goes down into a chamber so there are many different stages to it but then also you have the different degrees of health with the boys in their coach obviously this is a very technical dive so they have to be in his best health as possible that's why there's a concern about that oxygen level too you know you need to have a proper oxygen saturation in your blood to operate at your peak and these boys in the coach will have to operate at their peak because it's a very technical dive and the clock is ticking but they're really concerned about yes the incoming rains but also making sure that this is a safe as safe as possible process they're still trying the other options you know they're drilling in the you know the these chimneys these openings these downward holes into the cave system you need can see the mountain range behind me the cave is inside that it's massive so they're finding these other chimneys they've explored one hundred they're focusing on eighteen right now not giving up on the possibility that there's a back door if you will another exit another escape wait for these boys to get out

because that would obviously be safer than bringing out the front but that could take a long time until they actually find something that is viable and then actually go through and drill through and make their way into them so right now it is still that exit through the cave the way those boys in the coach made they were into where they are now and that is exactly two weeks ago now this is when they went into the cave in to explore after they had that football practice two weeks ago today's him is two weeks of us being on the edge of all the time scott five live that. still ahead on al jazeera standing their ground palestinians fight israel's latest attempt to clear their village in the occupied west bank plus. i'm the richardson of the world cup in russia where for just the fifth time in history only european seems to be taking part in the semifinals.
