escalated tensions on friday by raising tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods from 10 to 25 percent of the white house's top economic adviser says he expects china to retaliate with countermeasures. that's going on of us children in washington d.c. so what ousted white house economic adviser larry kudlow have to say. well lauren kudlow also said that the u.s. has started the process of trying to impose another 25 percent tariff on the remaining $300000000000.00 worth of goods sent from china to the united states every year but he did indicate that it's not going to be an instant process it's could take as little as 60 days perhaps as long as 3 months if not longer here's more of what larry kudlow had to say appearing on one of the sunday public affairs shows here in the u.s. we want to be as sure as we can be we don't think the chinese have come for not if

we wait and see the talks will continue and i will say this is a g. 20 meeting in japan toward the end of june next month and the chances that president trump and president xi will get together at that meeting are probably pretty good. now as for whether or not these negotiations between beijing and washington are dead lauren la larry kudlow did say that the chinese have extended an invitation to the u.s. treasury secretary steve maneuver and to the u.s. trade representative robert light hives are to come to beijing for another round of discussions but kudlow did stress that they're still working out the details so at least if there is anything positive coming out of the situation is that there may be some difficult issues and some difficult points of contention but the negotiations still continue and larry kudlow said that this is not an unusual

development even though everyone else including a lot of economists say this is not a good situation jordan thank you very much. ron patel is a global business executive and senior fellow for the draka school of management it . best he joins us live from los angeles thanks so much for being with us so we've gone from a situation just over a week ago deal between she and it was imminent and now we're on the on a car brink of what some described as a potential full blown trade war what do you both sides need to do to get back from from that position. to get all of this rollercoaster rush because it's going up and down to where it needs to and i think the if there is any silver lining out of this is that talks are still open to that conversation but i believe that they're back to kind of square one where the sticking points are still the same sticking points from intellectual property to foreign investment to you know obviously the trick terrorist piece and certain industries what they need to kind of get back to is to

come to terms with those hard core compromise value items that has been lingering for over a year we all know what items that they need to talk to now it's time to actually see if they get those things and get to a deal to actually were means something and again with a deadline passing this past friday it does signal that you know what was assumed by many that there would be a deal now we're really uncertain this is the worst at least the knowledge meant from the white house economic adviser that both sides stand to suffer if this if this continues because that could be retaliatory terrorist from china where do you see that pain hitting the u.s. . well almost definitely i mean leading up to last week income and coming up to where we start to see that we were going to see the up and deal with the tariffs obviously the agriculture obvious seen retail obviously in hardware so places in industries were more than 50 to 60 percent of typically where they buy and import

their products from china they will see a definitely hit now from the 10 percent to 25 percent tariff that rises and that is detrimental not just because they didn't know about it but now there's no in the near future they don't know when it's going to stop and that is really telling where you can't really plan small businesses can't go get another supply chain vendor behind it and trump has always pushed the narrative that tariffs can revive so big part of the american economy during that narrative is still likely to what frame will we let you get from this time around for 2020 well i think the narrative for him has been within his republican party the to be tough with china and he's obviously held that party line and i think you see many republicans in the even democrats say that there needs to be a better deal but what happens to this is if this drags on to the end of the year and we are we are sitting where we are today where we're not close to deal i think it can hurt his chances for 2020 should he choose to run because he has tied himself to you know i think his legacy is tied to this deal did to broker the

biggest deal in the world with the the top 2 economies i think he wants to do something around that and i think he's very aware that he needs to be a deal that is not just a little better but something that's better for the u.s. as well what about the impact of the trade war on the global economy. well it is it is a big deal because now you've got i believe there's 3 situations in the trade that could mess with the global economy obviously the u.s. china trade is not just about the number one number 2 economies but all the subset subsequent other countries that do trade with those countries it trickles down and you know you'll have this uncertainty with emerging markets you look at what's going on with other trade like brics it has hurt market even the qatar blockade i think these are the 3 places that it can all have a trickle down effect on who and how and they're going to trade within certain regions because this is not just about 2 countries this is all tied together and you know you see the wall street is very very nervous when you see day when they're

a number of global factors from the rise of the u.s. dollar to. an increase in demand. that the previous government created an integral ambitious plan for crop substitution but this government already said it will not find its it anymore so an effort that needs years lasted only one year only a comprehensive solution can make a difference unless all rural regions get roads infrastructure access to markets for illegal crops people in there will have no alternative but to grow coca to survive military strength might bring results in the short term and help placate the united states but if history is any guide the success might be short lived. young people in belgium have again taken to the streets calling for more action on climate change and hoping to put pressure on politicians and head of flemish elections later this month the demonstrators led by students for climate so they're only vote for candidates who agree to declare

monday's mid-term elections seen as a test of his presidency even though his name is not on the ballot. aiming to tighten his grip on power through his allies and make it easier to push through policies that includes a controversial crackdown on illegal drugs and the return of the death penalty but critics say the president is using fathers and intimidation to force voters to back his supporters to read underground reports. entertainment has long been a fixture cheering elections in the philippines it may seem as though these midterm elections will be no different but many observers say there's more at stake this year president will be good at or does political machinery has the backing of candidates from various political parties some are new to the political scene but are known allies of the terror to but most are returning politicians who have established leaves in government the president has devoted most of his time

recently publicly backing his candidates and this election will be seen as a test of his popularity more than 18000 local provincial and municipal positions are being contested but none are more critical than the 12 feet in senate seats the philippines that has long been able to keep political powers in check. even those of the president this is why it is expected to be a key battleground in this election is deterred to is pushing for a change of government to a federal form which critics say is merely an attempt of government to perpetuate itself in power there's an excessive number of endorsements of of himself as well has his family and allied political coalition really talking about an election that could deter me in the possible landscape of competition for 2022. but those in the opposition liberal party which was run by former president. remain undeterred the

party's influence has been severely weakened over the past few years and it's now taking a risk lining up new candidates with one main goal to counter the growing power of president goodluck go to tear to the president is so powerful that we need checks and balances we need an independent without the vigor to believe that anything they want to go. through. it's true violence and it's. big news in all the surveys that were conducted. some were saying that there is the fear factor of the people who maybe believe the subordinate but they don't want to be. surveys that have been carried out so far suggests a win for deter to and his allies but the political winds are still blowing and the opposition remains confident it can clinch a few seats in the senate. that some

people here say they're landscape is now being chipped away at a rapidly increasing rate. the area is under a fragile ceasefire agreement between warring ethnic groups and government forces after decades of conflict while some people were compensated for damage to their properties by the road construction most were not which is added to preexisting tensions between villagers most quarries on the mountain are small and locally operated but the much larger chinese quarry was never assessed for social or environmental impact. the asian development bank suspended funding for the project and quarrying has stopped which has left some without work on the other leg right now knowing what i would like to demand now is to restart the mining process we've been praying for this and people work in mining their livelihood is in good condition but now they're facing challenges everyone is in a difficult situation. numerous attempts to contact the china road and bridge

corporation were unsuccessful. civil society groups say the chinese state owned company has been doling out excuses instead of compensation. they chose to disobey laws that are already in place when the c.r.b. c came to construct the road they didn't respect the rights of the local population . while smaller quarries continue to supply road builders observers say large scale projects in current state should wait until a final peace agreement is reached between the government and the region's armed ethnic groups until then a project meant to unite is instead sowing seeds of division. and disease. in the west african nation of opposition is refusing to accept the parliamentary election results they were barred from taking part in a vote and critics are demanding president step down days of violent protests.
