this is the business briefing. i'm sally bundock. copyright fight. the eu decides on a huge legal sha keup that — according to some — could mean the end of the internet as we know it. plus — global growth under threat — the head of the wto warns of the economic damage of a looming trade war and markets in asian got off to a cautious start earlier today as investors remain nervous ahead of tomorrows deadline for us tariffs on chinese imports. we start in strasbourg where the european parliament will vote later on a huge shake—up of copyright law. it has sparked a major row between the publishing, music and film industries on the one side — and the tech giants on the other.

web pioneer sir tim berners lee is among those warning it could even mean the end of the internet as we know it. so what's it all about? it's called the european copyright directive. article 13 would require all digital platforms to stop users uploading copyrighted material — whethertext, music, orvideo. or pay to license the material. this would mean sites like youtube, facebook or tumblr sharing revenues with publishers — youtube already does this to an extent— and being liable if their users infringe copyright. the plan has been welcomed by the music, film and tv industry — but it's highly controversial — as our technology correspondent rory cellanjones explained recently on our business live programme. an absolute storm in certain corners of the internet, it is seen by 70 tech leaders including the creator

of the world wide web, saying this could be end of the internet as we know it but it seems to have made little political splash. articles 13 and 11 which put much more duty on websites to police copyright. article 13 says they've got to check all the time that they are not letting their users upload copyright material. you'd think that was simple enough. this will not affect the likes of facebook and google because they have got the power to do this, they got the resources to do this, they got the resources to do this. the theory is, from those objecting, this will put huge pressure on tiny websites which could face big fines if users put a bit of video up. geoff taylor is chief executive of the british phonographic industry, the music business trade body here in the uk — as well as the brit awards. welcome. give this your take on this

move in europe. i assume this is necessary? and overdue. we had these outdated regulations from the 1990s to govern the incident —— the internet meaning there is a lack of clarity which has undermined the ability of creators to get paid for the work they create what it's used by big tech platforms. the question is, how do you police something like this when videos for text or images are being uploaded to web —— websites like youtube at such a rapid rate? there are billions of music videos watched every year in the uk get it generates hardly any income to the people who created those songs so it's only about 3% of the recorded music industry's income comes from those videos. that's less than half from vinyl records. clarifies the law. if you exploit

other creative content, you need to exploit that. it's notjust how the industry is training. people sharing and re— sharing video with something with a bit of music. but in turn leads to the music artist gaining popularity, publicity, and that leads to more revenue. we are all in favour of users being able to share music videos. all you want is the services negotiate a fair deal. apple, spotify, they negotiated arm's—length and we think all services should have the same regime, have a level playing field, and we want to be able to sign the next stormzy or dua lipa. you can

understand paul mccartney backing this move, he's got the resources to pursue those who are not paying up the royalties or copyright but for the royalties or copyright but for the very small artist is very unknown, who hasn't really got that legal help all the money to try and pursue this anyway. we are concerned about the impact on small creatives, creating content, but what is important, this is about the platform, making sure google and facebook... platform, making sure google and facebook. .. when you try to pursue this platform, pursue youtube, if you're a small player, you will not have the time or resources to do it. we are saying there needs to be a bit more responsibility shown by the platforms. creating a fairer, more double playing field in creators and technology will do better. they give are coming in and getting up so early. let's move on. global growth is under

threat from a trade war between the world's top economies. that's the warning from the world trade organisation in a new report that says that between the middle of october last year and the middle of may this year, g20 economies applied 39 new trade—restrictive measures — things like taxes on imports. that's twice as many as the previous year. the wto says the restrictions affected more than $74 billion of trade — one and a half times as much as the previous year. roberto azavedo, director general of the wto, the economic impact on the global economy bill —— will be one of contraction or a slowing down, depending on how big it is. it's difficult to speculate how big that is going to be. it is going to be negative. we already see some forward—looking indicators pointing in that direction. this president

trump to blame for the present movement towards a global trade war? i think what we have in terms of tensions, they come from the political environment in many countries. that new environment, they are structural. they are coming from structural changes in the global economy. president trump, his ideas and administration is a result of those tensions. let's stay with those global trade tensions — because china's commerce ministry has accused the us of "opening fire on the entire world" with its proposed tariffs on chinese—made goods. sharanjit leyl is following the story in singapore. what is the chinese commerce ministry saying? essentially they are saying that they don't want to fight a trade war started by the us

and this was at a regular briefing from their spokesperson, warning today that the tariffs on chinese goods will hit international supply changing —— chains including foreign companies who manufacture in china. they are attacking global supply and value chains. these comments come crucially ahead of washington and beijing's plans for tariffs. the escalating trade conflict within talking about is really rocked financial markets. china's customs agency said chinese tariffs will ta ke agency said chinese tariffs will take effect immediately after us ta riffs take effect immediately after us tariffs on chinese goods kick in. washington has said it's going to implement tariffs on $34 billion of chinese imports on july implement tariffs on $34 billion of chinese imports onjuly the sixth, which is tomorrow, and beijing has vowed to retaliate in kind on the same day or the lloyds said it will

not be the first to pull the trigger. the trade war story is one that we are quite across. let's move on. the uk's biggest carmaker. jaguar land rover has warned a bad brexit deal could cost it more than £1.2 billion in profit each year — jeopardising future investment in britain. jlr says it needs "free and frictionless trade with the eu and unrestricted access to the single market." it's the latest big firm to weigh into the brexit debate after similar warnings from airbus and siemens. advertising giant wpp has threatened to take away share awards worth millions from its former chief executive sir martin sorrell over his rival bid for digital production company mediamonks. the dutch firm is facing takeover bids from both wpp and sir martin's new venture, s4 capital. mr sorrell resigned as wpp boss in april after the board said it was investigating claims of misconduct — which he denies. wang jian — the co—founder and chairman of giant
