ministers judges and civil servants without parliamentary approval what's the name costello joins us now from istanbul to name this is the first swearing in under the new presidential system but how much real power will these new m.p.'s have. very naturally this is also something very new for turkey as well because the system the new presidential system that was proposed by the government and that was confirmed by the turkish nation hasn't been tested yet and it doesn't have any advice on the world so it is neither a presidential system the united states nor a presidential system in russia and we have an interest here right now we have fifty more m.p.'s in the parliament but we have a much more powerful president who is in charge with the exit of the country so now there comes a question as you say because the ruling party and the pres the friendship say

pro-government media have not surprisingly given their full support to china's position in this developing trade war with the nationalistic mouthpiece global times even quoting from chinese philosophy that crisis creates opportunity making the point that just as the united states seems to be putting up the shutters and becoming more protectionist china should seize the moment and throw open its doors to the world. now hundreds of women are protesting against what's been called spike camp and obviously in south korea. demonstrators say the government's not doing enough to stop hidden cameras being used to secretly record women in public spaces including toilets subway escalators and even they will work this saturday as rally in the capital seoul follows last month's historic protest where thousands turned up to raise awareness on the issue. now

bureaus spawning six continents across the. correspondents greet the stories the town. of. the u.s. imposes tariffs china responds in kind but is the growing trade war a sign that something deeper and more unsettling is happening to the global system of rules and institutions this is inside story.

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian for the last week it was europe this week china step by step us president donald trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum a taking effect and countries around the world are responding but the issue isn't just about trade president trying talks about winning of what he calls better deals but it often seems like his real target is the web of international institutions and alliances that have evolved in the decade since the end of the second world war often at the behest of america itself we have much to discuss with our guests today but first reports from washington. he already stands accused of implementing trade policies that main the end harm the united states and its allies

the president donald trump is threatening even more we're not planning anything now but if they don't treat us properly we will be doing something thank you the united states made the first move in this trade dispute imposing tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum imports now it's also considering doing the same when it comes to foreign made vehicles and auto parts imports this despite warnings it could hurt america's car industry lead to countermeasures by top trading partners on wednesday german chancellor angela merkel sounded the alarm on a looming trade war. we have tariffs on aluminum and steel it appears cars too will be imposed with tariffs when they're imported into the united states ladies and gentlemen this has the character of a trade conflict. but the trade conflict isn't limited to america's european allies after the united states announced it would implement tariffs on up to thirty four billion of chinese imports china is also taking action to protect its own interests

. as long as the united states issues a so-called tariff list china will take necessary measures to firmly protected gentlemen interests us trading partners including the european union china and japan have voiced their concern at the world trade organization there's fear of a potential collapse of the rules based global trading system in general people want trade to be under a set of rules so that there is certainty and predictability and what trump has done is totally undermine the system so it's not just what he's actually put in place it's what he threatened to do and what that does to trust that trust faces further erosion trump has long made clear his dislike of the w t o which governs the rules of international trade now league draft suggest the u.s.

president wants to pull out of the w t o actively appending the global trading order it's been in place for more than half a century kimberley health at al-jazeera washington. well let's bring in our guests for today's discussion joining us from birmingham in the u.k. is scott lucas professor of international politics at the university of birmingham from london we're joined by philip mcgrane former economic advisor to the president of the european commission and via skype from hong kong is pauline leung managing director of asia analytic i welcome to you all scott let's start with you could a trade war i want to get too bogged down in trade and terrorist but nonetheless that's where we'll start can a trade war between the u.s. and china be one will one side come out of this victorious over the other. no no one wins in a trade war let's just get that's you know set out from the very start of this

discussion one side may suffer less it's trade in investment baby affected losses jobs may be affected less in this case probably china but the whole point about international trade is not that it's a win lose the whole point is is that each side benefits by building upon its strengths now that is what the trade the trouble ministration is challenging the idea that donald trump has isn't that you have a cooperative relationship where both sides win and trade it is that one side went in this case the you us because the other side is ripping america off it's a simple as that and more importantly he has key advisors people like peter navarro steven miller wilbur ross who support that vision now in the long run america will lose jobs america will lose investment america will lose international standing that further erodes its economic power but the gamble that the trouble ministration is is that somehow they can get a short term political benefit if not necessarily economic one that shows that they

are tough and the rest of the world has to bow down to american wishes as you say he has all these people around him who share his his view of a right is america being ripped off by the rest of the world well i'm sure that your other guest will be able to explain this in detail but frankly no there are other there are always points of trade disputes between countries so for example we might talk that the united states has an issue with china supposedly seizing intellectual property or that china has manipulated the currency market but in general the united states has benefited from trade with china it's been afraid it for trade with asia has done so over the decades since the asian economic machine was rebuilt after world war two. so when you talk about in general the protectionist approach to the american economy does not lead to economic benefit it might protect some jobs but it will lose far more jobs in the medium to long term

it might protect some small portion of the american industrial base but a larger part of the american industrial base whether it's automotive whether it's steel whether it's services that base will be eroded and that base will suffer losses if not sooner that at some point during the trumpet ministrations first term or at the see what's what for the grain has to say for economic advisor to the president of the european commission for the trumpets of the tariffs on china are aimed at stopping the unfair transfers of american technology and intellectual property to china and about protecting jobs given what you've you've just heard there is trump going to protect u.s. jobs by starting a trade war with china and of course he's not he may protect a few jobs in a few protected industries but overall protectionism is going to cost more american jobs than it creates and you can see that already with the steel tariffs which have

been imposed hardly any americans work in steel production and millions and millions work in industries that you steel of course everyone loses out from paying more not just for steel but every product that contains steel i think what's really striking about this and you and your earlier report the star alluded to it this is actually much much bigger than just a trade war of which there have been others in the past donald trump seems intent on blowing out the international trading system and indeed the broader international. and. united states has gone from being a enlighten him on underpinning the rules that provide stability and predictability to others to a rogue state that is such that blowing up the system i think it's a very very worrying about minton. repercussions are much broader than so simply but the narrow economic ones are in a meeting coming last do you agree with that perino going in hong kong is the u.s.

now a rogue state where the implications of of the u.s. would draw in from w t o rules and norms for example i think there has been far too much so case just on the dollars and cents the trade us but i think this growing and there could perceptions of china not just as a rule spending competitor in children commas but as an all run strict and that is what i believe is underpinning that the fight and the poor are that china is now an all round stat. not just in trade and this does but in political domination military aspects in technology suddenly there's the perception of china being a real huge sets so it's more than just trade it's it's this fear this this tour of and an ice age of relations if you like with china that i think

will continue. so for the trumpet ministration pauline this is about as far as you're concerned containing a rising china yes it is and remember that. this has the support it's bilateral supporting congress a lot of the lizard bills about chinese investment in the united states it must cost four hundred eighty two i v cuts that's you know it out bipartisan support it's still it just a perception of china as a threat this is more than just dollars and cents who gets to win more in this trade or that trader who gets the import of export will this is a much broader conflicts scott lucas is the us a rogue state is it trying to destroy the global system of rules and institutions and if so why i don't think the us is a rogue state because i think american economic institutions many american

political institutions want to maintain international order but donald trump and his inner circle are rogues they are the ones who have a particular vision which is that there is no need for international cooperation indeed that international cooperation is a fraud and let me explain that by going beyond what pauline just said i agree with her that key trump advisers see the fight with china has been.
