briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. and you can be part of the conversation. today we are asking for your views about legalising cannabis for recreational use, following ca nada's decision to do so. is this a good idea or not? to get in touch, just use the hashtag #bbcthebriefing. a trade dispute between the us and china has escalated, with president trump threatening to impose tariffs on a further $200 billion worth of chinese goods. the chinese commerce ministry says it will fight back firmly. let's get the latest

from our correspondent john sudworth, in beijing. china says it is ready to retaliate. what has it got in mind? well, sally, as you say, this has all the signs now of an escalating tit—for—tat trade war. the response from china's commerce ministry has been pretty robust. don't forget the $50 billion of tariffs that were announced by donald trump on friday. china responded immediately with its own package of $50 billion worth of goods. this latest threat from donald trump is in retaliation for china's retaliation, with $200 billion listed, and now this from china today describing the action as

blackmail and promising to fight back firmly, measure for measure. any hope that there was a few months ago that the sides might be moving towards a negotiated settlement appears to have evaporated. and as you say, a month ago we thought that we we re you say, a month ago we thought that we were seeing you say, a month ago we thought that we were seeing more you say, a month ago we thought that we were seeing more conciliatory tones between the us and china, china saying we will be buying $200 billion worth of goods and services from the us. what does the chinese consumer think about this? are we seeing them vote with their feet when it comes to the goods they are choosing to buy and where they are from? not yet, and that is often, of course, an action that china can we allow. the idea of getting consumers to respond, we have seen it over the past few years, retaliation for actions that south korea orjapan have done. china can marshal its consumers to act, if you like. so that's always a threat waiting in

the wings. i think the bigger problem from the us side is that that promise to buy more us goods just didn't do enough to address the structural imbalance. it is the idea that there is something systemic wrong with china's approach to trade and its support for its industries. the danger, of course, in all this is the problem of unforeseen consequences, the idea that tariffs may hurt us consumers or that us companies based in china. and we will see over the next few weeks a lot of complaints from people involved in complex supply chain is that all of this will have very unpleasant unintended consequences for many american businesses and american consumers as well. thank you very much indeed, john surplus, joining us live from beijing. we have seen shares across asia falling on those concerns. i will be talking toa on those concerns. i will be talking to a political analyst on this in about ten minutes' time for more on that story. president trump has defended his hardline,

zero tolerance immigration policy which has seen 2,000 children separated from their parents at the us—mexico border. in implementing that policy kirstjen nielsen, the secretary of homeland security, is under pressure to resign after democrats said the treatment of the children was barbaric. 0ur north american correspondent david willis has more. they are the makeshift detention centres along america's southern border, where children separated from their parents are being kept in cages, and where, according to one news website here, these heart—wrenching sounds were recorded. the recording features central american children between the ages of four and ten, separated from their parents at the mexican border last week. at one point a border last week. at one point a border patrol agent can be heard saying we have an orchestra here. all that's missing is a conductor.

as an acrimonious news conference, the homeland security secretary was askedif the homeland security secretary was asked if she had seen the pictures or heard the sound. i have not seen something that came out today, but i have been the detention centres, and again, i would have been the detention centres, and again, iwould reference have been the detention centres, and again, i would reference you to our standards, i would reference you to the care provided notjust by the department of homeland security but by the department of health and human services when they get to hhs. is that the image of a country that you want out there? the image that i wa nt you want out there? the image that i want this country as an immigration system that upholds our humanitarian ideals. congress needs to fix it. president trump maintains the current immigration system isn't working. he wants a wall along america's southern border to keep out anyone seeking to enter america illegally. but his critics claim he is simply holding children hostage in order to force congress to come up in order to force congress to come up with the cash. i am angry. i am ashamed. iam up with the cash. i am angry. i am ashamed. i am appalled, and this

must end. i am calling on the president of the united states of america, the most powerful man in the world, to end this policy today. and the pain, and the grief. the images of young children separated from their parents have certainly struck a nerve here, generating the kind of pr crisis that not even donald trump can easily dismiss. more fundamentally, perhaps, they have raised questions about the very nature of american values. well, it is notjust donald trump trying to put pressure on angela merkel over migration. italy's new prime minister has told the german chancellor that european union rules need to change. mrs merkel is also facing an ultimatum from her own interior minister — tighten germany's borders or police will start turning people away. lebo diseko has the story. just a warning — there are flashing images coming up. at that time, it was a source

of pride to germany — thousands of people welcomed into the country at the height of europe's refugee crisis. but now, resentment over this open—door policy threatens chancellor angela merkel‘s future. her interior minister, horst seehofer, has given mrs merkel two weeks to speak to other eu countries and come up with a new plan. if not, he'll tell german border police to turn people away if they've already been processed in another eu country. translation: if the european summit or any agreements succeed in reaching our goal, which is to send back migrants as soon as they reach the border, we'd be very happy, and we'd wish good luck to the chancellor.

but, if this doesn't succeed, we want to make it possible to send them back immediately at the border. mrs merkel says such action goes against eu principles, but her interior minister also leads the party she is in coalition with, and she can't afford to sack him. translation: it is in the german interest to maintain the order and control of migration, in good partnership with our european neighbours. that's why we believe that uncoordinated rejection at our borders, as a country in the heart of europe, could lead to negative domino effects. these pictures show the impact of the growing argument over how to deal with migrants coming into europe — a rescue ship carrying more than 600 people from the coast of libya left at sea for days after italy refused to let it dock. italy's new prime minister has told chancellor merkel that eu migration rules need a complete overhaul. he says the current policy of processing asylum claims in a country where people first

arrive cannot continue. but this is in direct conflict with the demands of germany's interior minister. mrs merkel now has two weeks to see if she can balance the needs of her eu partners and those of her coalition ones. lebo diseko, bbc news. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: the north korean leader, kim jong—un, is visiting china for the third time this year. the visit comes a week after his summit with president trump in singapore. earlier, the south korean defence ministry confirmed thatjoint military exercises with the united states scheduled for august had been suspended. the canadian parliament has become the first in the g7 group of wealthy nations to back the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use. the legislation must now be passed by the senate and receive royal assent by the governor general to become law. that could happen by september. the sentencing of roman catholic archbishop philip wilson

in australia has been adjourned until 3 july. philip wilson is the most senior catholic official in the world to be convicted of concealing abuse. he could face a prison sentence of up to two years. we are heading into day six of the world cup in russia, and there is lots to talk about. the bbc‘s tom donkin is in red square, in moscow. tom. good to see you, everyone in the uk is breathing a sigh of relief and celebrating, but we are looking ahead to our two—day sex. celebrating, but we are looking ahead to our two-day sex. good morning from moscow, the relative calm of moscow. the crowd is already starting to gather and the chanting will soon begin. i can see a few fa ns will soon begin. i can see a few fans asleep in red square after

yesterday's action, and what a day it was, sweden beating south korea 1-0, it was, sweden beating south korea i—0, eltham, a real dark horse, scoring three goals against the debutante panama, but the real story was in volgograd, harry trump was the hero. it almost didn't happen for england —— harry kane the hero. so the lookout for all the action coming up, let's look at how day five unfolded. a new generation and renewed hope for fans of english football. and, just 11 minutes in, their nerves were put at ease, captain kane leading from the front. but, just as england started to relax into the game, the mistake came. an elbow from kyle walker giving away a penalty, ferjani sassi comfortably slotting it away. but as england toiled, desperate for a penalty of their own, it wasn't until injury—time that the breakthrough came.

another corner, and another kane winner. hope restored for england and their fans — just. for the people of panama, it was time to party. a debut for their team on world football's biggest stage, an emotional moment for their players. but, after holding on through a goalless first half, belgium started to turn it on, a rocket from dries mertens silencing the central americans. and from that point, panama's resistance was broken, lukaku hitting the mark with two goals in six minutes. spectacular stadiums look to be given in russia, but the quality of the matches within can't be guaranteed. the video assistant referee broke the deadlock between sweden and south korea, a penalty converted by swedish captain andreas granqvist enough to seal a first opening—game win for his side since 1958. it really was an exciting day of

action, england really starting theircampaign off action, england really starting their campaign off with a bang. harry kane is the real hero tonight, and the ca ptain's harry kane is the real hero tonight, and the captain's effort, you have to say. today, day six, there is plenty of action coming up. columbia ta ke plenty of action coming up. columbia take on japan. colombia plenty of action coming up. columbia take onjapan. colombia reached the quarter finals take onjapan. colombia reached the quarterfinals in brazil, and james rodrigo ‘s was the golden boot. you would have to say that they would do away with japan. an african side hasn't won here in russia at this tournament, so a lot of hopes on their shoulders in group h. the real focus, because of the hosts playing in this game, russia taking on egypt, many people looking to see whether mo salah will pass a fitness test and line up with the egyptians. he was said to be fit at the coach arrested him and you would have to say he is now under a lot of

pressure to put the liverpool striker and superstar goalscorer in to try and get egypt out of the group stage. that is group a. plenty to play for in russia today, and we will keep a close eye on proceedings. stay with us on the briefing. also on the programme: talking football, politics and human rights with the chechen leader, who maintains there are no gay people in his country. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for a0 years forcibly classified each citizen

according to race. germany's parliament, the bundestag, has voted by a narrow majority to move the seat of government from bonn to berlin. berliners celebrated into the night but the decision was greeted with shock in bonn. just a day old, and the royal baby is tonight sleeping in his cot at home. early this evening, the new prince was taken by his mother and father to their apartments in kensington palace. the real focus of attention today was valentina tereshkova, the world's first woman cosmonaut. what do you think of the russian woman in space? i think it's a wonderful achievement and i think we might be able to persuade the wife, it would be a good idea, if i could, to get her to go up there for a little while. you are watching the briefing. 0ur headlines: president trump has threatened tariffs on a further $250 billion 0ur our top story. president trump has threatened

tariffs on a further $250 billion of chinese goods, if beijing doesn't drop plans for duties on us imports. stephanie hare, principal director at accenture research, a global management consultancyjoins me now. we've talked about this many times because this has been going on for a trial now but you get the impression it escalating every hour or so. that's right. donald trump saying he was going to impose tariffs on $50 billion worth of goods in china said it would retaliate and trump has set he would do a further $200 billion worth of goods, 10% tariffs. he has really upped the anti—on this. when we see this headed. markets are nervous. they'd been fairly

sanguinary few days. you get the impression this is not going right direction. we are looking at something like 0.4% of the chinese economy is going to be affected. something like 90% of chinese goods would be touched. it is targeted on what we have to think about is why is this happening. that is, trump is restoring —— responding to that china 2025 programme. china wants to dominate high skill high industry sectors. this is really a battle about who is going to be the world superpower in 2025. when it comes to technology in exactly. is not going after the things you would think that a small. thank you for now. we

will also be hearing from a team in new york. now let's discuss what happened in florida. police in florida say the rapper xxxtentacion has been shot dead near miami. he wasjust 20. he was a controversial artist, in a genre full of controversy. when he died he was facing 15 felony charges, including domestic violence. joining me from los angeles is entertainmentjournalist kj matthews. 0bviously obviously an awful event that has happened. this wrapper, apologies permits announcing his name, xxxtentacion. tell us more about human what he's been saying in recent past on instagram where he talked about something very tragic happening to him. it'sjust such

talked about something very tragic happening to him. it's just such a sad situation because he was only 20 yea rs old sad situation because he was only 20 years old from florida as you stated that his successor only happen in the last year and a half. last year, his debut album was certified gold and in march, his second album peaked at number one on the billboard album charts. he was really having a great deal of success. he was found on soundcloud, this kind of underground hip—hop music that was very rowdy. millions of fa ns music that was very rowdy. millions of fans on social media platforms. recently, he was on instagram saying, that is something should happen to him, if he should have some kind of untimely death or tragic death, hejust some kind of untimely death or tragic death, he just wants to make sure that he can inspire at least 5 million kids to be better and do better and keep their heads up. he had such a positive message to all

of his fans on instagram however, he also had troubles with the law. he was facing more than a dozen felonies. 0ne was facing more than a dozen felonies. one of them was for allegedly attacking his pregnant ex—girlfriend which he faced charges of battery and false imprisonment. many people out there have been reacting all day long including people like kris brown and kanye west. we will have to leave it there but thank you for filling us in. a tragic end to the life of a rapper xxxtentacion who died in miami just 20 years old. chechnya's leader has hit back at claims that he used the egyptian footballer mo salah for political propaganda. ramzan kadyrov — who has been accused of a string of human rights abuses including the torture and murder of homosexuals — engineered a joint appearance with the liverpool player in the chechen capital grozny — where the egyptian team has its world cup training camp. he's been speaking exclusively

to our correspondent, steve rosenberg. at vladimir putin's world cup, there is one place in russia where sport and politics are proving hard to separate. this is grozny, chechnya. the egyptian team has its world cup base here. fit again after injury, liverpool's mo salah is trying to focus on football, but he has faced some distractions. a week ago, mo salah was paraded around the stadium by chechnya's controversial leader. ramzan kadyrov is on the us sanctions list. he has been accused of gross violations of human rights, but he was still happy to invite us to his palace. mr kadyrov was a former chechen rebel who switched to the kremlin side, and he rules chechnya like a personalfiefdom. your critics say that you used

mo salah for political propaganda, for self—promotion. did you? translation: everyone has played here, even maradona, but we never use this kind of thing for politics. 0ur enemies are paid to write things like that. i didn't invite mo salah or the egyptian team. they chose us themselves. of course, politicians all over the world love photo opportunities with stars. but what made this one controversial, what makes the egyptian team's presence in chechnya controversial, is the reputation of ramzan kadyrov as one of the most powerful and most feared men in russia. driving around grozny, you can see that chechnya under ramzan kadyrov has risen from the ashes, from the rubble of two wars. but at what cost? human rights groups say he has

created a climate of fear. they accuse his security forces of arbitrary arrests and torture, and of targeting chechnya's gay community. extrajudicial executions, forced disappearance of opponents, persecution of homosexuals — these are the allegations made against you in chechnya. is this true? translation: the people who write these things, i don't consider them people. we don't have homo... homo... what did you call it? homosexuality? we don't even know that word. we don't talk about gays. we don't have a single one. here, a man is a man, a woman is a woman, a dog is a dog. in chechnya, people cherish their customs, their faith. they are a peace—loving

nation, their leader says. but it is ramzan kadyrov‘s image which jars with what fifa claims the world cup is about — bringing people together. steve rosenberg, bbc news, grozny. tell me what you think about our talking point today — we're asking for your views about legalising cannabis for recreational use following canada's decision to do so let us know your thoughts — use the hashtag #bbcthebriefing. the continuing ban on cannabis is a nonsense, says one viewer. it's an effective medicine for many conditions. keep your views coming in andi conditions. keep your views coming in and i will see you soon. temperature and weather contrasts
