6:01 pm
the military rulers over the tear gassing of protesters. in the trade war between the u.s. and china is being stepped up even further in the past few hours officials in beijing have announced they are raising tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. imports starting june 1st so that move is in response to the announcement from donald trump on friday that the u.s. is doubling duties on chinese products for $200000000000.00 retaliatory measures have rattled global stock markets and heightened fears of a prolonged trade war between the world's 2 biggest economies we'll get reactions from the u.s. gabriel is on the is in new york where the stock exchange is open a short while ago our white house correspondent kimberly how can a standing by and washington d.c. 1st let's get to adrian brown in beijing adrian this is seems to be
6:02 pm
a pretty tough response coming out of beijing tell us more about what you know. yeah well i think beijing will feel this is a proportionate response as up for thais they have carried out the counter measures that they had threatened they're now going to impose tariffs on some $60000000000.00 worth of the u.s. goods but remember you know the united states is you know slapping tariffs on some $200000000000.00 worth of chinese products and also threatening tariffs on some $300000000000.00 other more of chinese products so what these figures actually tell us 3 shell is that you know when it comes to return a tree terrace china has far fewer options than the united states because of course china you know exports far more to the united states than the other way around throughout the day we've been getting sort of defiant messages in state controlled media warning that china was not prepared to sacrifice its core interests but
6:03 pm
earlier on today just before the commerce ministry announced this this this new round of terrorist on u.s. products we had a message from the foreign ministry spokesman who basically confirmed a message that china has been delivering for the past 10 months we will not give in and this is what he had to say. 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 u.s. will meet china halfway to address each other's legitimate concerns based on mutual respect for a mutually beneficial when when agreement. well we've heard of of course today president trump has been issuing a few more taunting tweets to china warning that foreign companies would pull out if china was going to retaliate against the united states but also the united
6:04 pm
states and china say that the prospect of talks is still good the 2 sides are due to meet here in beijing no date has been announced for those talks and then there's the possibility of president xi jinping and president donald trump meeting at the g 20 summit in osaka at the end of june as for the impact of these u.s. terrorism having on china so far it's hard to determine certainly there are no signs of panic here in china no long queues outside of stores and of course if there was going to be a negative impact it's very unlikely that the state controlled media would be able to report it but if these if president tom does carry out his trip to impose tariffs on everything that china exports to the united states then sooner or later there is going to be and the impact here in china ok adrian brown life press and aging thank you adrian joins us now from washington d.c. so carol am president has always insisted that these tariffs are actually going to
6:05 pm
be paid for by china that that's that's not how this works any expert will tell you that's not how this works having said that these tariffs keep coming it is affecting the american consumer is there any hope that this will be resolved. yeah well as adrian brown just reported there is hope that this will be resolved in the next round of talks that will take place we know in beijing but again the timetable hasn't been announced but there's no question you're right that donald trump is certainly trying to downplay the impact on the american consumer and experts agree there will be an impact and it is only going to widen we know as far back as september big retailers that really help americans specially working class and middle class americans sort of afford to live their day to day lives while retailers like wal-mart for example get an enormous amount of their goods every day goods like shampoos conditioners luggage air conditioners all those kinds of things
6:06 pm
that are going to go up in price and so big retailers have been for months urging the trumpet ministration to try and resolve this but what we've seen is just additional threats coming from the president clued in the potential that there could be even more tariffs put on all chinese goods that come into the united states this would have an enormous impact it's a political gamble for the president he continues to say that there is another option for consumers and that is buy american the given the fact that the american consumer market is flooded with goods made in china it's going to be a challenge the president also tweeting that china has the risk of seeing a lot of business go to other countries like vietnam for example but certainly that would not happen in the short term it would be difficult for these american businesses to move their factories so the impact is expected to be significant there is still the hope that there is a window of opportunity to try and come again and get a new deal but at the moment the chances of that happening don't seem to be in the
6:07 pm
short term. live for us in washington kimberly thank you so let's check on the stock markets to see how the markets are reacting to news of these chinese stero some aerials on those live at the new york stock exchange gave it doesn't seem the market likes this very much. it's absolutely brutal quite frankly let's just go back to last week briefly here there was a trader that said a worst case scenario this was last week would be if there was no trade deal reached last week in washington if trump slapped more tariffs on china and if china retaliated that would be the worst case scenario we now have all 3 of those that have materialized and we have a worst case scenario here on wall street because this is a massive selloff that we are seeing the dow opened more than 500 points down ok 500 points but what really is striking about this selloff is how broad it is and let me give you a few numbers here out of the 30 stocks that make up the dow the biggest companies
6:08 pm
essentially all of them were down at one point this morning monday morning as of just about 30 seconds ago 23 of the 30 s. biggest stocks on the dow are all in the red right at this very moment that is not good let me just take a couple here it is important the 3rd biggest stock is apple it was down 5 percent the 4th biggest stock on the dow is boeing it was down 3 percent and caterpillar the 5th biggest stock on the dow down 4 percent that's brutal any anyway you cut that that's brutal and particularly what traders are saying today is how widespread this is you have apple that's down that's the biggest tech company you have boeing that's down that's of course one the world's biggest plane makers and then you also have caterpillar which is a company that is one of the biggest in the world that makes heavy equipment heavy industrial equipment that is taking a huge hit here so there is no sector right now of the stock market that is being
6:09 pm
spared by this it's absolutely brutal it's ugly quite frankly and this is like one trader said this is the worst case scenario that's being realized here as the traders were saying they were hopeful that some sort of deal could be reached last week that didn't happen now china is retaliating so what wall street is basically saying is this could be the new reality if no deal is reached we're seeing a sell off and that's exactly what's happening ok gary elizondo live for us at the stock exchange in new york thank you. sort of sri lanka now where a nationwide curfew is about to come into effect it's in response to attacks on several mosques in business is owned by muslims tensions to remain high following the killing of at least 250 people in the easter sunday church and hotel bombings let's cross live now to al-jazeera smell fernandez who joins us live from iran in sri lanka so this is this curfew isn't just the areas where these these attacks happen this is the entire country.
6:10 pm
that's right you showed what happened over the last sort of $24.00 hours was that there was police curfews to contain tensions essentially between christians and muslims that were coming to a head in these particular areas 7 that were 4 or 5 years that had local police curfews some of them lifted in the early hours of this morning however that kind of tension and of sporadic incidents of violence continuing a number of muslim business of a cause and a number of things being attacked being set upon by very angry from what we're hearing groups of christians but basically this is very sort of localized violence but obviously the authorities are trying very hard to clamp down on this obviously it is that tend to box of emotion off to the east to bomb attacks there's
6:11 pm
a lot of emotion a lot of tensions going on between and among these communities not least by the fact that there's been a whole lot of rumors floating around there's a lot of scare mongering going on one of the reasons for the clampdown on social media by the government they put in a ban 5 basically restricting all social media because it found that there was a lot of news a lot of rumor which was creating a lot of fear among all communities and now we have this island wide police go feel that the police is brought into effect obviously under the emergency regulations to ensure that this kind of trend doesn't spread further show so yes obviously social media can definitely play a role and perpetuating fears and rumors but i mean will is or even still this rumors and misinformation and fear that are being fed even without social media
6:12 pm
this seems like such a 10. time. it is richelle and that is one reason the authorities move to contain or restrict social media because just yesterday we heard that one of the flashpoints of the root cause of it was that someone had posted something on social media essentially alluding 9 to some of those basically sunday services that started you know making sort of unnecessary on wanted comments about how maybe it had been too early about people living to regret it happening that fast and there was a very quick reaction there were moments that gathered outside the guy who was supposed to have posted that on social media outside his shop is place of business this set upon the shop and then things spread even as we speak i mean the rumor mill is working overtime sadly i mean this country has been through 2 and
6:13 pm
a half decades of violent conflict they've seen 7 you know what rumors fick news can do however it's not stop people sort of you know passing on because they don't want to take the risk to be honest it's a sign of how much of a surprise and a shock those easter sunday bombings were so nobody wants to take any chances i have got a number of phone calls and messages throughout the day you know from people trying to clarify things that they've heard and some of the stories believe you me harry's thing and you know you keep trying to tell them look let's be you know logical prudent about it but people are worried so it's a case of trying to britain's situation under control and that's where we're hearing from the police that this island wide police few has come into place and show right now fernandez life for a century long thank you michelle. claymore had in the news hour and quoting and jail and now wanted man in sweden
6:14 pm
a rape case is reopened against but helix counter chilling in a staunch. good. was made in all the help they can get and mozambique survivors not just one but 2 cyclons. and sport that on terror raptors are into the eastern conference finals for just the 2nd time in franchise history we'll have all the details and. america's top diplomat says the u.s. isn't looking for war with iran sect i state my brussels were e.u. foreign ministers are discussing how to save the $2015.00 nuclear deal ron is threatening to pull out parts of the deal pull out of parts of the deal rather and resume uranium enrichment britain has warned both its american allies and iran that they risk accidental war same as ravi is following the reactions from tehran. the
6:15 pm
iranians will also tell you that they've been saying all along that they do not want a confrontation they do want not want a conflict but they won't back down from a fight both sides at some point have said that an open conflict is not something they want but both are on a very aggressive footing and iranians will point to the fact that mr pompeo may be saying what he's saying now but the fact is that it's very publicly they made a great demonstration of sending more american military hardware to iran's doorstep iranian leaders both civilian and military have responded very very angrily to that in the last several days in the past week now as far as mr pompeo his comments with regards to what the iranian people might want what the iranian people might deserve iranian leaders and iranian people here in the country will be listening to that and be thinking that they really got what they wanted from the 2015 nuclear. it was improving the country's economy it was a policy success for the moderates for the reformists in government and it was
6:16 pm
going towards changing the dynamic between the united states and iran as far as negotiations as far as talking before the deal was signed in 2015 there was a run up of months and years of of talking to each other so there was a creation of forward momentum with the deal iranians have been saying that the united states pulling out of the deal is a signal that it cannot honor its agreements let's go live to shepparton say in washington d.c. so she had the u.s. has has been going it alone on wanting to rip up this nuclear deal and start over the allies of us have not felt that way what is going on now but it seems that the u.s. is starting to acknowledge at least be open to some of what they're here and allies have been saying. well i mean it's very difficult to tell right now because we don't really know what point is actually saying to the allies other than sensibly we've heard reports that he was trying to show that they ensure that iran
6:17 pm
was posing i mean let's face it the u.s. is talking up this imminent danger that iran is suddenly posing and there's a great deal of skepticism partly because some of those behind this policy like john bolton have talked about all sorts of things which have turned out not to be true whether it be on iraq or iran for that matter over the last several decades for john bolton so there is a great deal of skepticism about what is actually going on certainly pumpin the secretary of state is adding to the drama of the wittingly or unwittingly with all these last minute trips last week he canceled a trip to germany to go to iraq ostensibly to talk about iran although when pushed by reporters it all seemed rather vague what sort of warning he was giving to the iraqis as regards iran and now they're see he's postponed a trip to to russia he was supposed to be in moscow today but to go to brussels to basically gatecrash a meeting of the e.u. foreign ministers to talk about iran that's what the state department says is the reason why he's going there and it has to be said it's not as if the e.u.
6:18 pm
leaders seem terribly thrilled about this sub the e.u. foreign policy chief fredricka mockery and he said this when she was told that pump air was making this diversion well we were told during the night that he was planning to change his travel plans we will be here all day with a busy agenda so we'll see during the day how and if we manage to arrange a meeting is always welcome obviously but there are no precise plans for the moment pretty cool statement from the e.u. foreign policy chief for a u.s. secretary of state who's apparently coming there with some some vital crucial last minute discussion with the e.u. foreign leaders he has met with the foreign secretary of the of britain the foreign ministers of germany and france they have told reporters that they were going to or did express that disquiet with u.s. policy right now might compare for his part he's saying is insisting that he doesn't want war. we're not going to miscalculate our aim is not war our aim is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership we hope the iranian people will
6:19 pm
get what they finally want what they'd 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 as the secretary of state i want to make sure that we had all the political diplomatic tools in the right place and we want to make sure that we can. provide the president with an option set in the addict in the event that the iranians make a bad decision. and we are expecting a press conference from the foreign ministers in the next hour or so as you will see what they have to say about what compare told them whether they were reassured by what you have to say that the does actually resume his trip to russia to go to sochi choose day to meet with the russian foreign minister where iran once again will be on the agenda along with ukraine almost control venezuela we're told . they live in washington d.c. thank you. after the mystery surrounding the fate of 4 ships off the coast of the
6:20 pm
u.s. government officials confirm that the commercial cargo ships were subjected to what they call acts of sabotage near the port which is 140 kilometers south of the strait of hormuz that's where about a 3rd of all oil at sea is traded so this is how events have played out on sunday morning iranian 11 east media outlets aired reports of explosions at the city's port but u.a.e. officials said the reports or inaccurate then hours later the u.a.e. said 4 commercial ships were subjected to what it called sabotage operations near its territorial waters saudi arabia's energy minister said 2 of its oil tankers were among those attacked on monday in the region shipping company said the whole of its tanker was damaged by an unknown object off the coast of the united arab emirates iran is describing reports of attacks on saudi arabian and us ships alarming and also an investigation egypt in bahrain the gulf operation council's

6:23 pm
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 julian assange from their 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 she had not yet decided whether there was sufficient evidence to actually lay charges against you in a science for rape nevertheless after the complaint complainant had approached the prosecutors in sweden she decided that it was worthwhile opening the investigation i think it's worthwhile getting a reaction from julian i saw your side as well wiki leaks editor in chief kristinn

hrafnsson has issued a statement today saying he said the case has been mishandled throughout the south 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 cholera is on the rise and yemen doctors have recorded more than 200000 suspected cases this year and seasonal rains are helping spread the disease among both wary you menes and others as well you come into play for parts. exposed to the elements hungry and struck by disease africans who have crossed the sea from. a better life are the latest victims of yemen scholar at demick this dusty hospital in the side. the province of la hitch has become a makeshift ward the security forces brought the sick from a migrant detention center but the hospital was full many have already died of the

tariffs on $60000000000.00 with the u.s. imports starting june 1st it's in response to the trumpet ministrations decision on friday to double duties on chinese products worth $200000000000.00 a curfew is now come into effect across sri lanka it's a response to attacks on several mosques and businesses owned by muslims tensions remain high all in the killing of at least 250 people and easter sunday church and hotel bombings america's top diplomat says the u.s. is not looking for a war with iran secretary of state mike pompei it was in brussels where close u.s. allies like the u.k. and germany say they are concerned about escalating tensions with iran they have foreign ministers are meeting to find out ways to save the $2015.00 iran nuclear deal. in our top story the trade war between us and china on the campaign trail to his presidency donald trump passed on promising to fix what he called china's unfair trade practices since last year the time for ministration as opposed tariffs on $250000000000.00 worth of u.s.
6:32 pm
products. beijing retaliated with duties on $110000000000.00 worth of american imports on friday more than double tariffs on $200000000000.00 of chinese kids trumpets also indicated he may impose new tariffs on chinese imports worth an additional $325000000000.00 entertaining as a political analyst and invites its chinese government on economic and development issues he joins us live from beijing thank you so much for joining us so. 3 week delay it's june 1st is when china says this next set kicks in why the delay what is the significance of that well it gives a cooling off period for both sides to kind of assess what the position is i think donald trump was expecting a more muted response from china china is signaling very clearly that they see a lot of the issues are right up in the goetia oceans as principles not face and that this is something that goes to their sovereignity they do not look like
6:33 pm
they're going to back down from that position tell talk a little more about what you're saying that they that this is about very specific principles for china. well china has a different political and economic system it gives them more control over planning it's a one party system it's different from the u.s. and this is really the touch point between these 2 entities because one is rising and one is already at the top so because of this difference those who believe in american exceptionalism and this kind of idea that only democracy and capitalism are legitimate ways of ruling both an economy and the politics of a nation kind of bristle that china is not knuckling under to what they believe is the correct system china for its side has been very successful with its system and has no intention of abandoning it because it becomes a sovereign a-d. issue it would any country feel very comfortable if another country was deciding
6:34 pm
what it should and shouldn't do with its economy from their capital as opposed to their home you know you need to make a good point obviously china and the u.s. are 2 very different countries different politics different economy having said that the u.s. president is certainly more susceptible to to public pressure at the stock market tanking today the fact that u.s. consumers will at some point eventually start to pay these tariffs do you think that that puts the u.s. in a weaker position. well i think it puts the u.s. in a weaker position but more importantly it also effects donald trump's reelection and i think this is for foremost for him i mean goldman sachs came out and said that the consumers are the ones who are going to be paying for this any kind of school book analysis of this would confirm that this is in essence
6:35 pm
a tax on the american people it will lead to inflation and these are a lot of goods that are not necessarily you can do without you need clothes you need shoes and at christmas time you want to buy toys so it could be a very grim christmas if things do not change quickly now donald trump has taken a shotgun approach he's basically said 25 percent on everything across the board you know that china has taken more of a rifle 70 percent are in that 20 and 25 percent area but 30 percent are in that 5 and 10 percent they have no intention of taxing their own people for things that are absolutely necessary but any kind of goods which are not necessary fall into a luxury or choice categories those are being hit hard and are tang and thank you so much joining us from beijing we appreciate it. security forces and sudan have been accused of using excessive force against protesters and the capital khartoum comes as talks restart between the opposition coalition and the military over who
6:36 pm
will run the country chill new elections are called the opposition wants the military to hand over power to civilians had been morgan joins us live from khartoum he by the protesters. don't really seem to be backing down what is happening on the ground as a result. when we fell just over the past hour or 2 protesters were injured as a result of security forces specifically the rapid support force firing live ammunition initially in the air then at protests let's go back to how it all started so protesters are saying that the rapid support force is blocked the beginning of the armed forces bridge a bridge that was dominated by the protesters since the 6th of april when the sittin here in front of the headquarters started so protesters confronted the security forces and told them to open their break because this is how people access the sets and how they leave the city and through this bridge and when they refuse the tension flared and that's how they use the missions were fired from direct support forces now 2 protesters have been injured but protesters are saying that
6:37 pm
this is not going to make them back down we've seen many people rushing to protect the barricades in front of the armed forces bridge and there's also protecting the barricades they have around the sitting there saying that they are the only pressure card that they have that the opposition can use to force the military council to hand over power to a transitional government and it has to be independent if it doesn't happen that they're not backing down so what is the latest on these talks i mean it seems that both camps are really and trenched in their positions. well at the moment the military spokesperson is saying that they have agreed on the structure of the of the transitional government but they haven't yet agreed on how much representation each side will get and they haven't agreed on the period that the transitional the transition period will be running so they have a lot of issues to discuss tentatively we know that they've already agreed on the structure that has been presented by the opposition coalition more things remain to be discussed such as how long this transition period should go on for how much representation each side should get the military council wants to be the one
6:38 pm
dominating the transitional period wants to be the one leading in chairing the transitional period with military presentation and civilian representation but the civilians and the opposition coalition are saying that they want an independent civilian government with a military representation that does not even reach 50 percent so still a lot of things to be talked about a lot of things to be aren't out before they come out and say that they have a structure and have disagreed on a transitional government to be formed. morgan was to live for us in khartoum thank you. there is something new on the menu in the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh aid agencies want to reduce malnutrition by encouraging or enter refugees more fresh vegetables and other healthy food as well. parts. of basic diets of just rice and schools is what most refugees such a story to begun have been surviving on in this camp but the trip so far to stop promise is something different she has a wide selection of nutritional food to choose from to feed her family a more varied and balanced diet is on the menu thanks to
