knee. high. today team thailand government officials and the private sector as well as the media members and the world's mobile support we must do something that we've never expected we could do it's a world first. this search began on june the twenty third when the football team and their coach were reported missing after deal gone exploring in a cave. to renshaw rain flooded the cave system dimly the search for days for the first contact was made with the team more than a week after disappearing expert divers found them alive in darkness sheltering on the dry ledge they were hungry but in stable condition the boys were given food and medicine for minor wounds getting them out was going to be complicated initial reports said it could take months and experts debated the best options.

a statement that was just released by u.s. trade representative robert light hisor he confirmed that this was trump making this decision in retaliation to what china has done in the last four days which was we tally their return for the first round of tariff that were imposed by the u.s. so essentially we are seeing this trade war intensify before our very eyes as far as this now newest round of two hundred billion dollars worth of goods they cover the gamut of what an american may find in the grocery store we're talking about produce frozen meats and fish honey butter also raw materials essential to commercial production chemicals leather paper fabric basically many anything you can imagine in fact this list is so long that it takes two hundred five pages just to print it and this is in addition to the fifty billion

dollars that the u.s. has already greenlighted for tariff we thought we saw thirty seven billion already imposed four days ago but there is one difference the earlier round of tariffs was a twenty five percent tariff on those imported chinese goods this round is for ten percent perhaps because these products are more directly linked to the american consumer but certainly it will be the american households that feels the pain of these new tariffs rob what's the reaction been to these targets both in the u.s. and if we know it around the world. well here in the u.s. swift reaction as you said from the republican chairman of the senate finance committee who called this round of terrorist reckless the retail industry leaders association says that american families are the ones being punished but what we're really waiting for and what matters most at this moment is how china will respond

four days ago china responded within mediately retaliated with proportional tariffs to that first round those were tariffs on in merican imports of cars and soybeans among other products and china has vowed from the beginning to retaliate dollar for dollar from the american stance so certainly here we are waiting to see how china will respond and all indications are that this trade war will could only get worse rather joe hard for us in washington d.c. thank you very much. u.s. president donald trump says meeting vladimir putin may be the easiest part of his three nation european tour this week he's just arrived in brussels for what's likely to be a contentious nato summit with america's traditional allies then he's on to the u.k. for his first official visit there and finally to fenland for a face to face meeting with the russian leader he's vowed that european countries won't take advantage of the u.s. accusing them again of not spending enough and defense. fairly but i think.

more of what we can expect from the summit. president trump arriving in brussels in eighteen months in office he's not hidden his disdain for international organizations in his sights in recent days the us is most important military alliance he's been tweeting about it and he made these comments at a rally last week. when i'm going to tell nato you get to see paying your bills the united states thank you thank you thank you most year on his first trip to nato trump was far from diplomatic here he pushes past montenegro's prime minister he denounced allies who did not but the nato target to spend at least two percent of the gross domestic product on defense twenty one out of the twenty nine nato members are still not over this threshold last week trump wrote blunt letters

to some of his counterparts at this year's meeting watch carefully his interactions with canada's prime minister justin trudeau who he called very honest and week after last month's g. seven summit but his meeting with another leader could be even more difficult just listen to him again at last week's rally and i said you know. what we're protecting and it means a lot more to. them protecting us because i don't know how much protection we get by protecting the polish between angela merkel and president trump is certainly at a very low ebb at this time it remains to be seen exactly what happens at the summit but i would suspect that chancellor merkel is going to challenge our donald trump on his assertions over defense spending she's very defensive over this issue she will point to a limited increases in german defense spending. as leaders arrive here in brussels

was directed at the government police used tear gas to disperse people apparently threatening to overrun the presidential palace several people were killed during the melee. the unrest was sparked by the government's decision to increase fuel prices by up to fifty percent the increases cover gasoline diesel and kerosene sales however it's kerosene which stands apart from the others being the cheap fuel of choice for the millions of poor haitians to power their stoves and generators people in this economically country most of whom make less than a couple dollars a day are furious at what they view as an inept and corrupt government the fuel hike was the last straw down the bucket we're taking to the streets because the president is keeping the people hostage everything is overpriced unemployment is high and people are hungry we need to free haiti from all of. that is if the

president doesn't step down we'll continue protesting we've given lawmakers an ultimatum either they force him from office or we will burn the parliament down to the ground. i government says the gasoline rate increase was needed and it would have brought in tens of millions of dollars to fund much needed infrastructure projects throughout the country but faced with a backlash the government backed down and halted the rate increase at least for now but this is still a country in deep political crisis people here saying they'll go back on the streets to protest until there's a change in government georges lucien is a historian and political analyst who says these protests are different from the ones in the past because now the anger is focused not only on the political leaders but also at the business leaders as well. these policies not only affect the poor but also the middle class until the government starts working to improve people's lives there's no guarantee the recent unrest won't return so far all the government
