people felt like economic castaways, stranded in an economy that left them behind. in the presidential election, they voted republican for the first time since the 1980s. we had 30,000 people in europe at one time. this former steelworkers says he does not like donald trump but loves the imposition of these tariffs. i think they will really help the economy and help the general public. it's a good thing, i do not think the sky will fall. you don't worry about the impact of a trade war? no, it's been done before and it hasn't hurt, is 3a years too late! he claims it is protecting us national—security but this is more about protecting the us steel industry than protecting —— and rust belt towns. donald trump believes he is rewarding his loyal supporters and does not seem that worried about angering america's closest allies. but the european union is not taking it without a fight.

it is retaliating and calling donald trump's action is a dangerous game. this is further weakening transatlantic relations. it also increases the risk of instability in the markets in future. this will hurtjobs in the european union and the us. the eu has published a ten page tariff target list of american imports, raging at recovering in from harley—davidson motorcycles to whiskey and levi jeans. there's been a rapid response from america's neighbours canada and mexico, and at port talbot steelworks, they have battled for survival in recent yea rs, battled for survival in recent years, but now comes more uncertainty. the flood of steel that would have come to the us market, it is flooded with steel, bringing prices down and putting jobs at

risk. we may then find ourselves in the very dark days of the steel crisis. steelworkers here are understandably concerned. it's another kick in the teeth, really. after everything we've gone through, we've worked hard to establish ourselves in the market again. now, this has been thrown on our lap. through no fault of our own. tonight, theresa may stressed that deep disappointment, calling it an unjustified decision, words echoed by the trade secretary. it's very u nfortu nate if we by the trade secretary. it's very unfortunate if we get into a tit—for—tat position, especially with one of our closest allies. nobody wins in a trade war, there are only casualties. bethlehem, pennsylvania... where every christmas, a huge star blows from the hilltop. where every other night of the year, the sky is lit by the hungry furnaces of the steel plants. it's too late to save the bethlehem

steel plant, the american industry's heydayis steel plant, the american industry's heyday is a thing of the past. stocks drop to their lowest level in 18 years, fuelling the rust belt revival and emboldening donald trump. nick bryant, bbc news, pennsylvania. simonjack is nick bryant, bbc news, pennsylvania. simon jack is here. nick bryant, bbc news, pennsylvania. simonjack is here. tensions are going up in this trade war, how will it affect our consumers? these are the ten page is here, peanut butter, cranberries, oceangoing yachts, kitchen tables. these are not things you buy daily. it is a cleverly done response to the trade tariffs. things like orange juice response to the trade tariffs. things like orangejuice being in florida. swing states like georgia in the election, it's a more calculated response than the blood instrument for filling the election promise in the us —— blunt instrument. clearly as we heard in

that piece, people will be worried about the flood of steel but i would say that in the first round of the trade war, its american nil, the rest of the world have one. but by round two, it registers up. cars made in the us coming to the eu get 10%, rather than the other way around when it is 2.5%. at the moment it will not affect businesses and consumers much but escalation is the worry. simon, thank you. misery for train passengers continues as hundreds of trains have been cancelled today, tens of thousands of passengers have been affected in the north of england. thameslink in the north of england. thameslink in the south has been badly disrupted. the rmt union is calling for chris grayling, the transport secretary, to quit after what it calls days of carnage. what is the feeling among passengers where you are? fiona, having spent hours here, the feeling

from commuters has been palpable. they have been sighing on the platform and sat on suitcases. as anger and frustration grows, so does pressure on those responsible to sort this chaos out. late or cancelled trains causing stress and panic. hundreds of trains but not enough drivers, i don't believe it. you should know why? we have a shortage of drivers at the moment... it has been going on for weeks, even before a new national timetable was implemented. more than a fortnight ago. they need to pull their fingers out and get their act together. they have implemented this new timetable but they knew it was coming in. therefore they should have planned for the additional drivers they say they need to meet the extra demand and trains put on. northern runs

more than 2500 train services a day. the company says more than 200 trains have been cancelled. 10! have been partly affected, so they are not stopping at some stations. in the last few weeks, more than 2000 trains have been aborted. the driver's union the rmt is calling on the transport secretary chris grayling to resign, while leaders in the north wanted to take urgent action. they say that part of the problem is not all drivers have been trained on the new routes. there is a feeling among some commuters that if rail services were this bad in the south, the government would have done more to make things better. they say it is now up to ministers to prove that's not the case. but in the south it hasn't been perfect either, with nearly one in ten thameslink mac services cancelled or very late today. chris grayling says that he's meeting mps on monday to

discuss problems. he was not available to interview but in a statement he blamed network railfor taking too long to complete the new timetable. northern rail say that they will be reducing services from monday, at for some their patience is wearing thin. it's incredibly shrubsole is wearing thin. it's incredibly shru bsole and really is wearing thin. it's incredibly shrubsole and really frustrating when you have paid money for a ticket to get somewhere. and you do not get that service. a growing number of passengers will be getting one of these rather than on a faster train. two police officers are seriously ill in hospital after they were stabbed in greenock this morning. it is understood they were responding toa is understood they were responding to a call—out. lorna gordon, what can you tell us? fiona, this incident, which was not terror related, took place on a streetjust down the hill. tonight, it remains cordoned off after this attack that took place at about 9am this morning, where one officer was stabbed in the arm and the was

daylight, calls for a review of the number of police on our streets. and borough market figures reflect on how they pulled together after the london bridge terrorist attack. they have been dubbed pinball kids, the thousands of children in england's ca re system thousands of children in england's care system shunted between homes, schools, and social workers. the children's commissioner for england says the instability put the children at greater risk of grooming and joining gangs. new figures show that in the course of a year, 2&00 children in care in england switch their homes, school, and social worker. a similar number moved home five times or even more over a three—year period. 0ur education correspondent has been speaking to some of the so—called pinball kids. 14—year—old ethan had a troubled home life. five years ago, he went into foster care. i moved into an emergency placement, and i stayed there for a night, and then after that i moved again. i went to a

foster placement for a month. how difficult was it for you to manage anxiety, moving from place to place? it was very tough because where i was moving to places in quick succession, i didn't have that ability to make attachments with the terrorists, then to be able to help me as terrorists, then to be able to help measa terrorists, then to be able to help me as a person. constantly changing homes, schools, and social workers means many children end up in a cycle of exclusion would continue throughout their lives. challenging behavioural and emotional problems along with a shortage of foster ca re rs along with a shortage of foster carers and typed local authority budgets are all part of the problem. jerome has also been in care and now ru ns jerome has also been in care and now runs a charity supporting others after his friend took his own life. he believes the court the language around the care system needs to change. the language used is quite a dehumanising. you are placed somewhere and you are meant to move on, rather than a somewhere and you are meant to move on, ratherthan a home, and then somewhere and you are meant to move on, rather than a home, and then you are caught a case, and young people complain about that all the time. it is simple things. you should not be

called a case if you are a human being. that again shows you that these young people are on a conveyor belt. the department for education said it is investing close to £4 million to help create a stable environment in foster care, but today's report warns change isn't happening quickly enough. julie has been a foster carerfor ii happening quickly enough. julie has been a foster carer for 11 years, and says it is a problem particularly for older children. anyone who wants to foster, generally wants to foster someone who is going to behave or be less problematic, and that tends to come with smaller kids that are more manageable. teenagers, by their title, are more problematic. this is where i stay. ethan finally has a place to call home in residential care. i'm doing my gcses at the moment so i spend my time here revising. how much have you changed, would you say? massively. i am a become completely different person from when i started. i was at the bottom and i have come out the other

side and worked my way up, and it has been a success. some visa card payments have been disrupted across europe this afternoon. the company says some transactions can't be processed. some of the big supermarkets are reporting problems with customers using these are. our technology correspondent is in central london. how widespread is this? well, fiona, reports started coming in after lunchtime from across the uk that people were having trouble using their cards, their card payments were being rejected, and it gradually became clear that it was focused on visa. these are then put out a statement confirming it had an issue across europe. i have just confirming it had an issue across europe. i havejust been into this branch of sainsbury‘s and bought my dinnerand branch of sainsbury‘s and bought my dinner and tried to pay with visa. rejected twice. using mastercard, worked fine. it is confined to visa. it has been widespread, but it is patchy. we have deterred from transport for london that it is working fine with visa. i heard from some people across europe that it is not working, some people that it is.

we have just spoken to visa. they have nothing new to add, which means their investigation is still ongoing. pretty embarrassing. seems to be some kind of technicalfault affecting some of their systems if not all. thank you. some newsjust in and north korean officials have arrived at the white house to hand deliver a letter to president trump from the north korean leader kim jong—un. it is the first time north korean officials have visited the white house. mr trump earlier cancelled a summit between the two leaders planned for next week, but this latest move by north korea has revived hopes that it might yet go ahead. spain's prime minister mariano rajoy has been forced to resign after losing a vote of no confidence in parliament. he is the first prime minister in modern spanish history to be defeated in a no—confidence motion. it follows a long—running corruption scandal involving his right of centre people's party. the socialist party

leader, pedro sanchez, who tabled the vote against, has been named as spain's new prime minister. art europe editor is in madrid. there is a great deal of change and uncertainty in europe. we saw in italy last week. now in spain. that's right. this is big news from spain because it is the first time in this country's history that a prime minister has been unseated by a vote of in parliament. but there isa grand a vote of in parliament. but there is a grand new prime minister ready and waiting to take his place. so although this is highly unusual from spain, there is absolutely no sense ofa spain, there is absolutely no sense of a political crisis here. unlike in italy, as you said there. what a few days of political circus we had there, threatening to infect the whole of the euro currency. so it has been a very big week for europe. don't forget also this brand—new trade war blossoming between the eu and its closest ally, the united states. and all of this has an

impact on brexiting iterations. the uk's chief brexit negotiator, david davis, has been flying all around europe, trying to woo eu leaders and persuade them to give the uk a better brexit deal. every time a italy, it means he lasteds has to start his term effects of all over again, with the new guys in power. frankly, a deal with the uk isn't a priority for these leaders. we have had spain and italy at the top ta riffs had spain and italy at the top tariffs and the talk of the town this week was not too much mention of brexit in brussels. thank you. the england manager, gareth of brexit in brussels. thank you. the i leg, 1.51“:chng earlier 5’ "f ‘ "f ’ ” " of brexit in brussels. thank you. the i leg, 1.51“:chng earlier the"""7 ‘ "f ’ ” " of brexit in brussels. thank you. the was, 1.51“:chng earlier the"""7 ‘ "f ’ ” " late he is focused on his football.

i ‘ili‘r‘. ‘inii‘ ‘ilee! l“? he understands how some people have received beta two —— have perceived the tattoo, but in my view, a tattoo is individual and the meaning is all with the individual and the person. england have aired a much better start to the second test against pakistan. they are trying to level the two match series after being soundly beaten in the first. today's it was england's bowlers who had the best of it, as our correspondent reports from headingley. from one side of the world to the other, from syd ney to side of the world to the other, from sydney to headingley, england have been searching, from form, for fortune, and for a cure to the all too early collapse. perhaps it helps that they lost the toss and build. for now, they could put pakistan under pressure. stuart broad had his place in the team questioned this week. he knows that opinions are a lwa ys week. he knows that opinions are always being provided in this game. england are without their injured star. noel ben stokes, but instead chris woakes, who coached to more

pakistani wickets by lunch. then jimmy anderson's turn. with its punch at the early afternoon, shared out among the attack. it seemed pakistan would be below for less than 100, before a teenager from punjab fought back. he made 56 innings sustaining runs, before finally becoming the first test wicket for one player. now england. 0na wicket for one player. now england. on a crowd being reconstructed, this was a time for careful building. foundations first. keaton jennings, backin foundations first. keaton jennings, back in the team, had been going so well before his opposition went one better. after a frenetic day, england went into the evening hoping and batting for a bit of calm. well, in the last few minutes, england have lost alastair cook 446. bad timing as they were close to the end of play. 104—2. despite that and given all of the criticism they faced this week, we will regard this

as some long—awaited good news. thank you. what you couldn't hear with phil avery groaning about the cricket there. a very good evening to you. good job they didn't try to plate that much of bit further north in cumbria, where you could see penrith but not a lot further as the thunderstorms really got going, and it wasn't just here thunderstorms really got going, and it wasn'tjust here either. i want you to bear in mind with the thunderstorms, not everyone is going to see them, but they have the possibility for some of localised flooding and disruption. 0n the bigger picture, you can see there was a lot of fine and settled weather around, but some of these areas, northern ireland and cumbria and then into scotland, as was the forecast, we were pushing these storms further north than we have seen them of late. as we go back to the big picture, i don't want you to discount the other areas. some of these showers down towards the midlands could catch you out over the next couple of hours as they

gradually drift a little bit further north, as other shoppers tend to dissipate as we get into the wee small hours of saturday. another close and humid night. temperatures in double figures for a good part of the british isles. a great, still start to the date for many areas and a guy won for the most part as well. but remember about the thunderstorms. parts of scotland and a diagonalfrom the thunderstorms. parts of scotland and a diagonal from the scottish thunderstorms. parts of scotland and a diagonalfrom the scottish borders down towards the wash, inland from the coast, but they could just keep on coming once they have formed. any good news? yes. further south and west, drier, finer, warmer we suspect. that is the pattern that will be established on into sunday as well. still some showers there. still some on beach outside as well and still this seasons of low cloud for some northern and eastern shores, maybe the odd patch into the irish sea as well. but overall, not a bad weekend, provided you are not on that diagonal but i was talking about with those thunderstorms.

fiona. thanks very much. and a reminder of our main story this evening call on the trade war widens. europe, canada, and mexico have hit back at the new us trade carrots with taxes on hundreds of american products from york to genes. and that is all from the bbc news at six. we can nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. european trade ministers warn the us it's playing a dangerous game by imposing import tariffs on steel and aluminium. the government here says it supports a legal challenge by the eu but warns against an escalating trade war. it is very unfortunate if we get into this tit—for—tat position, especially with one of our closest allies. nobody wins in a trade war, there are only casualties. calls for the transport secretary to resign —

as thousands of trains are cancelled following the introduction of new timetables. he blames network rail for the failures. technical problems for visa — customers are experiencing issues using their cards. visa says it's investigating the cause of the disruption. the "pinball children" who suffer the instability of house and school changes while in care. in a moment it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. as a new prime minister takes over in spain, we'll be speaking to our correspondent in madrid about the corruption scandal that unseated mariano rajoy. has the cosmetics company lush overstepped the mark with a social media campaign highlighting the so called spy—cops scandal? and later, we'll be taking our nightly look at what's on tomorrow's front pages, with pr consultant and former conservative party

communications director giles kenningham, and the political editor of the new statesman george eaton. that's all ahead on bbc news.
