new trade tariffs on $60 billion of american goods. this comes after washington slapped duties on $200 billion of chinese imports on monday. listen to what china's foreign ministry spokesperson had to say. translation: china has to retaliate against us measures. to firmly defend our legitimate rights and interests and safeguard the global free—trade order. and interests and safeguard the global free-trade order. the president has noted that chinese try to hurt the people he promised to help in his election campaign. retweeted: —— he tweeted. there was some relief in the global markets that the latest round of us ta riffs markets that the latest round of us tariffs against china is less damaging than initially feared. some technology products are excluded. let's ta ke technology products are excluded. let's take a closer look at what the us stands to game and lose. a 10%

tariff on $200 billion worth of chinese imports should, theoretically, raise 20 billion us dollars for us federal coffers. on the downside, there will be inflation pressures, consumers will feel the full impact in january. after the november us elections, the price of import duties is to rise by clipart sense. this is all happening as china has the world economic forum. we are joined as china has the world economic forum. we arejoined now by our asia business correspondence. it looks like an exciting days. —— corresponded. —— correspondent. indeed. the world economic forum here will see the chinese premier making the opening speech here and at it, of course the us china trade tensions will be one of the things that many people will be keen to

hear from that many people will be keen to hearfrom him on. we have already heard from chinese officials that the trade war is very much, in the chinese view, being pushed by the us administration and china has consistently said that all it can do is to push back and to retaliate. i think it is quite key to just look at what that says about the chinese position here, constantly trying to say that they are the victims of this trade war, not the people who started it. but what is this trade war doing for hiring expectations in the domestic chinese market? to a nswer the domestic chinese market? to answer that question i am joined by danny yuen, he is president of one of the top three staffing companies in the world. i know you have released a report on hiring expectations, any sign of the trade frictions worrying chinese companies as they would to hire in the future?

—— look to higher. —— look to hire. the biggest thing is uncertainty is a. this last quarter showed a little bit of decline versus the last quarter and bit of decline versus the last quarterand a bit of decline versus the last quarter and a little bit lower than the last year for the hiring the man's. but this is more complex. —— the man's. there is more uncertainty. especially a lot of the small and medium companies. the large companies still have their hiring agenda and that it is a short—term pause. hiring agenda and that it is a short-term pause. a short-term pause, but the survey it conducted is actually before the really big us ta riffs is actually before the really big us tariffs on chinese goods, $200 billion worth of chinese goods have come in. the situation has changed dramatically and if we are looking at the worst—case scenario, that is $267 billion, everything china makes for the us and how would that change the opinion of chinese companies?”

think this $20 billion isjust something else put in a. i think the chinese companies have very clearly seen the changing of the model for the export as the majority of business has changed. in the last ten years, chinese companies have changed from a local business model. i think that is something that we are adapting to. so this trade tension will increase acceleration pace for changing into this model. just briefly, china is trying to change its business model, can it do that at that time of these trade tensions? can it hire the people it needs? i think you see it is like accommodation action. recently the chinese government renewed and eased middle—class burdens. is helping to

change the chinese workforce from quantity to quality. and the public and private working sectors are working together. but unfortunately, recently, it is a big impact for short—term hiring. recently, it is a big impact for short-term hiring. thank you so much. will have more for you through the days. the cleanup effort is well under way across asia after typhoon mangkhut left trail of destruction. in the philippines, search and rescue operations are continuing, across hong kong and macau, the cost of the damage is starting to be assessed. i askedif damage is starting to be assessed. i asked if we expect the central bank and the philippines to act following the disaster. the philippine central bank has thus far raised interest rates by 75 pesos a. we expect it will be increased by more and

another 100 pesos next year. it will be an aggressive increased. the philippines, macau, hong kong, major trading centres, how has supplied being affected due to the devastation? it was definitely disrupted. in the case of hong kong and macao, the devastation was mostly controlled. hong kong is certainly back online and and luxury boating industry is and that sort of sector has been impacted but the damage is mainly has been negated. it is really the philippines and the logistics and infrastructure there that we are most concerned about. now to the good old rivalry between the two economic giants of asia, talking about china and india. indian leaders have spoken about converting the financial hub of mumbai intoa converting the financial hub of mumbai into a shanghai. which other to shanghai to find out whether that was even possible. —— we travelled.

infrastructure overhaul and a strong political will. fast paced element in shanghai came at a cost and the government brushed aside all to dos, including displacement issues. the question is, whether mumbai would be willing to pay that price. let's briefly look at the asian stock markets, all well entrenched in positive territory after gains on wall street overnight as investors judge the latest tit—for—tat tariffs between the us and china that is less damaging than expected. thank you for watching. i am rico hizon. this is bbc news. the headlines this hour: china imposes another $60 billion of tariffs on us imports a day after president trump announces more taxes on some chinese goods. south korea's president moonjae—in continues talks with kim jong—un on denuclearisation in pyongyang.

two men who were in charge of an sas exercise in the brecon beacons in which 3 reservists died have been cleared of negligence. the men died trying to complete the 16—mile march on one of the hottest days of 2013. duncan kennedy reports. this is the gruelling route that shows the unforgiving terrain of the brecon beacons — the testing ground for the sas. injuly 2013, lance corporal craig roberts, trooper edward maher and corporaljames dunsby collapsed on the march and died from heat stroke and organ failure. the two military organisers — known to the court as 1a and 1b — were charged with negligence. but today the judge stopped the court martial and ordered

that the two men be found not guilty. he said they were not negligent as individuals, that the real fault lay with what he called the systematic failures of the military authorities to train the men properly. the families of the men who died said the mod failed in its duty. there is still no official guidance for those conducting endurance marches in the british army on heat illness even five years on. this is beyond unacceptable, and shows blatant ignorance to a vital need, where apparently three deaths are not enough. this was one of the scenes on the day of the incident. the three men had set off on the 15—mile march carrying 50—pound backpacks and gps trackers. near the end of the exercise, craig roberts collapsed. edward maher also succumbed to the 30—degree temparatures, whilst james dunsby, who took an alternative route, was found on the final leg of march. the mod is immune from prosecution. in a statement today, it said:

the three men had pushed themselves to their limits to try to join the sas. they died in the pursuit of that dream, not because of the faults of individuals who were there, but because of a series of fatal shortcomings by the military authorities. duncan kennedy, bbc news. i will be back with newsday,. now on bbc news, sport today. hello, i'm tulsen tollett and this is sport today,
