this hour more legal troubles will ricky leaks founder julian assange on swedish prosecutors reopen a rape case against him and in sports the toronto raptors are into the eastern conference finals for just the 2nd time in front. beating africa from quiet manner deciding their playoff series against the philadelphia 76 ers. thank you for joining us the u.s. china trade war is escalating beijing has just announced that on june 1st it will raise tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of american goods that is in response to the u.s. hiking tires on $200000000000.00 of chinese products on friday u.s. president donald trump is insisting that american consumers will not pay for the rise he says china will be hurt very badly if it doesn't make
4:02 pm
a trade deal with washington well the chinese foreign ministry admits raising tires is not the best solution. we never give in to pressure from the outside we are determined and capable of protecting our legitimate and lawful rights and interests as we said we hope the us will meet china halfway to address each other's legitimate concerns based on mutual respect for a mutually beneficial win win agreement let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly harkat kimberly we were expecting the chinese to retaliate of course the u.s. president has already been tweeting this morning how is this announcement by beijing going to be received. it's not going to be received very well already the markets were very nervous and we know that the dow futures have dropped $500.00 points with the news that china has retaliated now the new york stock exchange is set to open within the next half hour and so everyone watching very nervously for that as well but as you have pointed out the u.s.
4:03 pm
president donald trump was certainly rather prolific on twitter early this morning here in washington with a number of caution for china including the one not to retaliate and it was just moments later that there was the announcement by china that in fact it had raised the tariffs on 60000000000 imports of u.s. goods as you point out june 1st the date when that will go up to 25 percent there seemed to be a sense by donald trump folly that he would be able to continue to try and negotiate that he has a good relationship with chinese president xi they've certainly met multiple times they will meet again we understand so donald trump continuing to strike optimism even as there is a feeling in the united states this is escalating into a full blown trade war and president trams only economic advisor his top economic advisor kimberly has admitted that the approach trumps approach could hurt american consumers. yeah he acknowledges larry kudlow acknowledged that there would be pain
4:04 pm
on both sides and i think that that probably is a fair assessment as we're seeing that unfold now donald trump and some of his tweets tried to downplay the impact on the american consumer but we already know that there has been trouble in the soybean markets that's a big product the united states sends 2 to china as well we're seeing in the supply chain that there has already been some trouble with regard to parts now donald trump tried to underscore that you can buy american if you want to try and avoid that but i can tell you the u.s. market is saturated with chinese goods there's no question this is going to have an impact on the american consumer so the question now is what happens next as far as the trade talks to trade negotiations they broke down in washington. expecting them to start talking again anytime soon. well we heard from treasury secretary steve and he thought the talks were constructive we have heard that there will be more discussions that could take place in beijing we've seen no timetable that's been
4:05 pm
concrete but what we have heard from the u.s. president is the threat of further escalation something that he intimated with regard to that last late last week saying that if china retaliates as we've now seen it do that there would then be tariffs on all chinese goods into the united states this again would have a massive impact on the american consumer and certainly is a political gamble for donald trump given the fact that this could really hurt many of the people that currently count themselves as top supporters as he looks ahead to the 2020 presidential election thank you for that kimberly how good live for us in washington d.c. . america's top diplomat is done playing tug of war with iran despite a military buildup in the region u.s. secretary of state michael impale will discuss the tensions with iran in a surprise stopover in brussels ways meeting european union foreign ministers and senior officials. but going to miscalculate our aim is not war our aim
4:06 pm
is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership we hope the iranian people will get what they finally want what they did so richly deserve the forces that we're putting in place of course as we've had in the region before you know we often have carriers in the persian gulf but the president wanted to make sure that in the event that something took place we were prepared to respond to an appropriate way and secretary of state i want to make sure that we have all the political diplomatic tools in the right place and we want to make sure that we can provide the president with an option that in the in the event that the iranians make a bad decision the european union's foreign fantasy chief federica mil greeny says supporting the iran nuclear deal is key to maintaining cutie in the region and wants to avoid any further escalation last month the us tighten sanctions on iran you know exports and put iran's revolutionary guard on a list of terrorist organizations the us has also sent increased military forces including the aircraft carrier the u.s.s. abraham lincoln and b.
4:07 pm
52 bombers to the gulf that speak to zane bazarov who's our correspondent in tehran is in the europeans the americans seemingly wanting to defuse tensions says they don't want war with iran how is this being received by iranian leaders what exactly are they watching for. well in many cases they'll be watching for 2 very specific things let's handle the european union side of this 1st when it comes to this nuclear deal ever since the united states left the deal about a year ago and started its maximum pressure campaign on iran iran has been exacting a maximum diplomatic pressure campaign on europe pressing europe to keep its side of the deal pressing europe to honor the nuclear deal itself and make sure that it can help mitigate help iran mitigate the u.s. sanctions against it the pressure on iran's economy but iranian leaders have in the last several weeks and months been very vocally disappointed in their european
4:08 pm
allies in the signatories to the nuclear deal they've been disappointed with their partners saying that they've been unable to resist american pressure they've been unable to maintain their own sovereignty when it comes to diplomacy in order to help iran navigate the sanctions so as to maintain the integrity of the nuclear deal so iranians will be looking for strong words from the european union foreign policy chief fredricka mongering he has been a very stalwart supporter of the nuclear deal has stood shoulder to shoulder with iran's foreign minister divides syria on the international stage and defense of the deal several times she is popular here in iran and she has been the harshest critic of the united states with regards to the u.s. departure from the deal so mr pompei was likely to come up against the hardest pushback from a european leader that has come across so far but iranians also have been saying that they feel as though they can't really rely on europe to abandon their
4:09 pm
relationships with the united states in favor of iran and so they're not really practically expecting too much going forward but they but they have given the europeans a timeline that we are on the clock about 5 or 5 days into a 60 day deadline for the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal to do something that has a house in rouhani of course limiting iran's cooperation with the nuclear deal some days ago the americans zain have said that this maximum pressure on iran is to get iran to come to the table talk to them again to renegotiate the nuclear deal what are the chances of that happening. well anybody who's listening to mr pump comments will say that the idea that the united states is is is in the business of the interests of the iranian people simply won't believe that their actions have spoken against that their actions of actually harm the current living circumstances of. people working class iranian men and women so there is
4:10 pm
a great feeling of disregard for the trump white house here in iran by regular iranians in terms of the leadership they'll say that if the idea is to bring iran to the table for talks well that's what the nuclear deal was there's been bad blood between iran and the united states for many decades and the nuclear deal that was negotiated for years before it was sided 2015 that was really the culmination of creating forward momentum in this fraught diplomatic relationship between these 2 countries so what they will say is that we have tried we have tried to negotiate we've come to the table we've talked we've signed an agreement an international agreement that they're going to united states violated so we will not be coming back to the table to talk again especially not under the current circumstances with so much economic pressure and now military pressure added to iran's plate thank you the same hussein correspondent in tehran and a former u.s. defense secretary has criticized president donald trump for tightening sanctions on iran and sending military deployments to the gulf obligates says washington and
4:11 pm
tehran need to return to the negotiating table i think that. there's a conflict between the united states and iran would have tremendous unforseen consequences in the middle east i think would be very dangerous so i think that the strategy needs to be how in fact do you get the iranians back to the negotiating table and understanding that the agree that whatever agreement emerges has to be broader and has to deal with some of these other issues. iran's foreign ministry is describing reports of attacks on saudi arabian and ships as alarming saudi arabia says 2 of its oil tankers suffered significant damage in attacks off the east coast of the u.a.e. the american government says 4 commercial ships were subject to sabotage in the ports early on sunday shipping company says a no which unregistered tanker was hit by an object it says as a hole in the hall but the crew are safe and the ship isn't in any danger of

sinking. in other world news a palestinian activist who faces a possible threat from saudi arabia says he's being targeted because he exposed details about the crown prince. after the death of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi mom had been soundman shifted his focus towards our activities opposing him he says his work with the washington post's owner jeff bezos triggered more hostility from saudi arabia by 2017 certainly by 2018 arabic language twitter went from being the heart of this do you to full dynamic public's or public sphere to being a swamp presided over by solid you troll most her solo qahtani and his minions the leading twitter intellectuals from saudi arabia were silenced jailed exiled or killed. m.b.'s and caught on the managed to subvert twitter from being a tool of free expression to
4:13 pm
a weapon for social control and propaganda. very used twitter to manufacture and engineer public opinion to push out propaganda to mob dissidents to disrupt conversations and to deliver threats we know a lot about saudi hucking capabilities illinois kind of software they use but to my informed opinion the most valuable piece of software that's n.b.s. owns is not pegasus it's as arbitrator m.b.'s has killed for twitter before and it looks like he's not done killing for twitter to get. no my late friend was very well aware of this too was anguished over the state of the of free expression in the arab world and you realize the power of and importance of twitter during the last year of his life he started 3 significant initiatives 3 significant ideas aimed at reclaiming this public sphere sweden has reopened a rape investigation against julian assange jan is seeking his extradition from the
4:14 pm
u.k. that wiki leaks founder was arrested last month at the ecuadorian embassy in london way spend 7 years after jumping bail he denies the swedish rape allegations from 9 years ago the u.s. also wants to extradite a songe over wiki leaks release of thousands of classified documents that are later found i have today taken the decision to reopen the preliminary investigation if the u.n. alone hold in heat enough to review in the preliminary investigation in its current state my assessment is that there is still probable cause to suspect that mr sounds committed rape paul brennan joins us now live from london paul swedish prosecutors dropped the rape investigation against 2 years ago why they are reopening the case now. well it actually goes back to why they dropped in vest again in the 1st place rees why muddy and neither the prosecutor back then decided to hold the case against julian assange 2017 was because she saw no prospect of being able to
4:15 pm
continue pursuing the case here at the time was still holed up in the ecuadorian embassy and did not appear keen at all to come out and face those charges so she felt it was actually pointless pursuing that times have changed and of course the decision last month of the ecuadorians to expel jury and from that protection he was then arrested and is now currently in a british prison. serving a sentence for having jumped bail gives the opportunity now for the swedes to resurrect the case against him the investigation against him at least and continue with that investigation with a view to bringing charges perhaps it was interesting to hear the deputy chief prosecutor there she said she was starting the investigation again but she had not yet decided whether there was sufficient evidence to actually lay charges against a songe for rape nevertheless after the complaint complainant had to probe the
4:16 pm
prosecutors in sweden she decided that it was worthwhile opening the investigation i think it's worthwhile getting a reaction from his side as well wiki leaks editor in chief kristinn hrafnsson has issued a statement today saying he said the case has been mishandled throughout a son's was always willing to answer questions and reopening the case now will give julian a chance to clear his name that's the reaction from wiki leaks and the question now paula is which extradition requests will go forward fred is that of sweden or that of the u.s. what's going to happen now. well it's difficult to say it's a political decision in many ways and it's at the behest of the home secretary for international viewers that's the century of the interior minister in this case of the moment it's michael sedgley job it and he will have to weigh up 1st of all the competing seriousness of the 2 offenses america wants julian assange on conspiracy for publishing the hundreds of thousands of leaks and classified documents versus
4:17 pm
the rape allegation that has been made in sweden no charges actually been laid there yes also busy is the chronology of it you know which came 1st which bid came 1st and then finally of course there is a possible possibility that the british will have to prioritize the swedish bid because there is a distinction made between european. extradition requests a non european and it may be that the americans have to take 2nd take 2nd fiddle to the swedish bit paul brennan in london thank you for that update to sri lanka now a curfew have been extended in some parts of the country after attacks on several mosques and muslim owned businesses religious tensions remain high following the killing of at least 250 people in the easter sunday church and hotel bombings the government has branched off in a social media apps because of the fear of more revenge attacks me now for 9 days
4:18 pm
has more from kilinochchi in northern sri lanka. social media networks once again under restriction by the sri lankan government i spoke to the information department direct short while ago and he said that one of the main reasons was to clamp down on tensions on incidents that have been erupting over the last 48 hours we did see yesterday in chillout to the northwest of the country there was an incident where someone had posted on social media some comments which was seen as offensive that was a crowd that gathered outside his place of business obviously there was an exchange there was weiland and this continued later on in the evening where we saw at least 3 places in the country where there was a police imposed in the police administrative area so the government basically using this as this is not as a long term measure but. basically a tactic to clamp down to dampen any tensions that might erupt now obviously
4:19 pm
a time where there are a lot of fears a lot of sort of concern regarding the whole specter of full of the attacks i mean just this morning on my phone i got at least 3 messages you know warning of potential attacks all in the backdrop of assurance from the government from the army command that they have got a handle on the situation but for people that taking no chances as you can see the school behind me here in killeen and she one of the biggest government schools there's a heavy security presence as their reason schools throughout the country catholic schools yet to reopen after the easter sunday bombing so people not willing to take chances with. the director for human rights watch she says social media bans can sometimes cause a bigger problem. we often say that if the state has to take steps to contain to restore order they can take some steps the 1st student correct knows under
4:20 pm
emergency is in a state of emergency so it's a lot of stick with a lot of partners and not the torah to do freedom of expression as a shock to measure if it is required within reasonable limits these kind of measures can be taken but in the long term tend to have. a bad effect because you must read anyway what we're thinking with the scene here is a situation where the people of sri lanka are still not completely confident about the state of security so any kind of humor any remark on facebook can be construed as a warning all of that and it tends to exacerbate it because it is so much tension still persist which the authorities have not been able to complete it chris. plenty more ahead on the sound is here news hour including the polls have closed in the philippines mid-term election which voters expect are expected to strengthen the
