the trade row between the united states and china is escalating. beijing has hit back after the us announced the biggest round of tariffs so far against some chinese goods. now china says it will impose new trade tariffs on a range of american goods. our china correspondent jon sudworth has more. at this trade fair, china was showing off its latest gadgets. it is all part of a plan to create a world beating high—tech economy, plan it leaves the us tariffs are designed to stop. policymakers here in china, every line of this latest an extremely long list of us tariffs

will read as proof of a very real threat to the economic model on which this country's success has been built, exports and state backing the industry. the response has been swift. china has no choice but to retaliate in order to firmly defend our legitimate interests, and the global free—trade order. defend our legitimate interests, and the global free-trade order. in 2017, china imported $130 billion worth of us goods. the first round of tariffs this year hit $50 billion of tariffs this year hit $50 billion of that trade, and today, almost all remaining imports, $60 billion worth, were targeted. while china may have few options left, many us businesses do not think the trump ta riffs businesses do not think the trump tariffs are working. we had a survey recently, only 6% currently were reconsidering moving back to the us. so the us is hoping tojob creation, we do not really see that happening. is the grim prospect of economic

pain with no political gain. —— it is. karishma vaswani is our asia business correspondent and she's at the world economic forum in tianjin, china. a lot to talk about here, but tell us a lot to talk about here, but tell us first what the reaction is there where you are. well, a lot of people that i have been speaking to hear at the forum, which is often called the summer the forum, which is often called the summer davos, obviously there is a great deal of concern about what is being seen as the most serious escalation of the trade tensions between the united states and china. we are looking at something like almost half of everything that china sells to the united states being put under a tariff starting monday, september 2a, and then from january one, 2019 that tariff will go up from 10% to 25%. china has hit back, even though it says that it is a

choice that it had to make the retaliate, putting it $60 billion worth of american goods under tariff as well. and i think it is really important to remember that all of this is something that china consistently says, that it has been put in this position by the us and by president trump, and that is why it has to push back. it is not too is that it wanted to make, it would rather discuss and negotiate and have some kind of resolution to this trade war. and i think that is the feeling of many people out here as well, when will this trade war come to an end? because there knock—on effects to global growth, all of this becomes far more on clear because of this tension. what options does china have? because it cannot continue to go dollar for dollar with the united states because of that deficit that president trump is always talking about. absolutely. ithink president trump is always talking about. absolutely. i think what china also would like to point out and what i hear a lot from chinese

academics and business people out here is that it is notjust about the deficit simply in the value of goods that each side sales to the other. the united states, china believes, is not looking at the value of services that china sells 01’ value of services that china sells or other china buyers from the us in the form of chinese tourists that go to america every year and spend money when they are there, or chinese students who study in american universities. china says look, the value and the quality of the trade structure between these two countries has changed over the yea rs two countries has changed over the years and it wants that relationship and that difference to be recognised. to the other point that the us consistently brings up here is what is really at the heart of this trade war, which is that china has unfairly stolen intellectual property and that is why its companies are now racing ahead in some of the most important domains like artificial intelligence and high—technology industries and the

like. china says look, we never went about doing this in a deliberate fashion, and in fact, officials consistently tell me there is no such sanction in the chinese government. yeah, maybe some chinese companies did this but this is a new, different china. they are changing and they want that to be recognised. i have a feeling we're going to be talking about this in the not too distant future. thank you. south korea's president moonjae—in is still in pyongyang as part of a three day summit with north korean leader, kim jong—un. president moon is hoping to kickstart progress on those denuclearisation talks, after discussions with washington reached a deadlock. i'm joined by stephanie syung—min kim. she has been following the events over the past few days. hard to overstate the significance of events, there was loads of pageantry. talk us through some of the stuff that people have seen how

some have been reacting? since the meeting in april the expectation has been building up for president moon, for as he arrived to pyongyang yesterday with a warm welcome, i think people are expecting to hear positive news coming from the inter— korean summit, and especially, i think the event in april, the end of the ceasefire of the korean war. that has not really reached a peace treaty, so i think it is among that, one of the agenda is that people are expecting to hear. i think we are looking at the latest pictures from pyongyang. i think they are liars. we can see in the background that pitch of the two leaders holding hands. i mean, this is a huge step.

—— picture. what does it mean practically? for the south korean side, president moon is expected to continue to work as a mediator to reach the full denuclearisation of north korea. he has treated before he left south korea that what we wa nt he left south korea that what we want is the irreversible peace. how likely is that? you mentioned he is trying to work as this mediator, but both kim jong—un and also donald trump are fairly unpredictable characters? i think the alternative is, since the winter olympics and the inter— korean summit, the mood has been much more optimistic, and

for the north korean people, this is pa rt for the north korean people, this is part of the steps that we need to take. right, we're going to leave it there. stephanie, thank you so much for taking the time to talk us. we will of course bring you an update as soon as we get any more on that. like pictures we are now showing you, we are expecting a press briefing fairly shortly. if we get that in the next few minutes, we will bring you that. but we will keep you up—to—date with any developments from pyongyang. let's get some of the day's other news. the head of germany's domestic intelligence service has been removed from his post — only to be given a more senior post in the interior ministry instead. hans—georg maassen had been facing intense criticism over comments he made about recent unrest in the eastern city of chemnitz. he'd cast doubt on reports about far—right extremists randomly attacking immigrants in the city.

disturbances broke out in chemnitz after a german man was fatally stabbed in an attack blamed on migrants. the death toll from typhoon mangkhut has reached 7a in the philippines. dozens more are feared dead. rescuers dug through mud to try and find bodies buried by a massive landslide in the mining town. —— of itogon. authorities say it's unlikely anyone survived. the typhoon's the most powerful to hit this year. it also battered hong kong and southern china with fierce winds and heavy rain. the inquest into the death of pc keith palmer in the westminster terror attack has been told that security at the palace of westminster hadn't functioned for years. one of the officers on duty at the time of the attack, carried out by khalid masood, said it was possible an opportunity to save pc palmer's life had been lost because no—one guarding the gate was armed. now, the eu's chief negotiator says that he's ready to come forward

with an improved proposal on the question of the irish border after brexit. michel barnier said the eu offer would fully respect the territorial integrity of the uk. now, the issue of the border between northern ireland and the republic has emerged as the main obstacle to an agreement. speaking this evening, mr barnier said most customs checks would be able to take place away from the border. work on the eu side is ongoing. we are clarifying which goods arriving in northern ireland from the rest of the uk would need to be checked and wet, when and by whom these checks could be performed. we can also clarified that most checks can take place away from the border. —— where. at the company, or in the markets. we need to clarify the

checks that are needed. these checks are caused by the uk decision to leave the eu, at its single market and the customs union. — its. —— its. our europe editor katya adler gave us her assessment from brussels. we have long said that the issue of the irish border could be the issue that brings the brexit agreement tumbling down. even though not negotiated, the eu's chief brexit negotiator says look, we're going to make a new improved offer on ireland. it is not really new, the eu knows that the uk does not accept its current proposal, theresa may has said that it will constitutionally break up the united kingdom, somehow separating northern ireland from the rest of the uk. so since the summer, the european commission has been trying to reduce the drama of the proposal, as they

call it, taking up politics and trying to ensure this proposal entirely practical. the fact that michel barnier went big on this tonight, ahead of that eu summit, is pa rt tonight, ahead of that eu summit, is part of a concerted effort now i eu leaders to try and help theresa may. they want a better deal this autumn, so with words and with gesture is, they will try to help her, but this is still not about compromising their principles or redlines. —— now by eu leaders. stay with us on bbc news — still to come... we'll tell you why this english non—league football team has become an internet sensation in spain. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city, rescue teams still have no idea just how many people have died. there is people alive and there is people not alive. we just can help and give them whatever we've got. it looked as though they had come to fight a war, but their mission is to bring

peace to east timor, and nowhere on earth needs it more badly. the government's case is being forcefully presented by monsieur badinter, the justice minister. he's campaigned vigorously for abolition, having once witnessed one of his clients being executed. elizabeth seton spent much of her time at this grotto, and every year, hundreds of pilgrimages are made here. now that she's become a saint, it's expected that this area will be inundated with tourists. the mayor and local businessmen regard the anticipated boom as yet another blessing of st elizabeth. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: china imposes another $60 billion dollars of tariffs on us imports— a day after president trump announces more taxes on some chinese goods. south korea's president moon jae—in continues talks with kim jong—un on denuclearisation in pyongyang. it's the deadliest case

of so—called friendly fire between syria and its powerful ally russia. syrian forces mistakenly shot down a russian military jet, killing at least 1a people. the plane came down 22 miles from the syrian coast as it was making its way back to the russian airbase in latakia. russia's blaming israel, which in turn blames the syrian government. it's really a control and its pilots could not but see the russian plane as it was coming into landing at an altitude of five kilometres. nevertheless, they deliberately committed this provocation. sarah rainsford has been monitoring developments from moscow. she says whilst there is anger in russia, president putin's tone has been conciliatory. well, there's been a very fierce

reaction and response from the russian defence ministry today that all the anger has been directed at israel, not at syria, for supposedly provoking this incident by using the russian plane as cover for its own as strikes in syria. russia has called that a hostile act and all day to day on state television, we heard from officials who have been debating and discussing how should retaliate. there have been calls, some of those calls were for imposing a no—fly zone in syria. some of them, we are talking about supplying israel's enemies with sophisticated defence systems. it is clear that russia was never going to blame syria outright, given support for president aside. but vladimir putin has spent a lot of time cultivating good relations for israel. it's part of a delicate balance of alliances. i don't think vladimir putin wanted to one settled that. when he did come out and speak about this, it was diffused rather than —— to diffuse rather than escalate the crisis and he blamed

the downing of the plane on a tragic set of circumstances but i think what this is underlined above all is the very great risks that there are in syria, with so mini competing interests and sermon in military force is now involved are. the president of venezuela has said it -- the president of venezuela has said it —— said he will increase petrol exports to china. he said both countries will export about $5 billion to rebuild the oil sector and that dropped to a 30— year low in august. the aftermath of the 2014 crash in the price of world oil led toa crash in the price of world oil led to a shortage of foreign capital and a severe economic crisis with a shortage of food and residence —— medicines as well. that crisis has deepened, leaving people struggling to buy food and stopping off in istanbul on his way back from beijing, the president was filmed dining out on some expensive stake.

maduro's critics argue that should be food for thought for the president. police in the american state of iowa have charged a 22 year old man with the murder of a young spanish golf champion. sailea barkeen arosamena won this year's european amateur golf championship. she was found dead on a golf course in the city of ames on monday morning. cbs news' tommi clark has more. new details today after an iowa state university student athlete was found dead on a local golf course. 22—year—old celia barquin arozamena was a 2018 big 12 champion golfer, and the school female athlete of the year. this morning, we sat in a local courtroom and watched as the man charged with her murder sluggishly walked in for his inital appearance before a judge. colin richards is charged with her murder. he is 22 years old. the initial appearance lasted just two minutes. judgejames malloy set the bond at $5 billion, cash only. the county attorneyjessica reynolds saying that he is a danger to the community.

his imperial fleet — is beginning itsjourney to a new home. the boat was constructed in 1810 and was only ever used once by napoleon before his abdication. it was moved to paris during the second world war — and will now return to the naval town of brest. we ta ke we take you back to pyongyang in those live pictures. we are expecting the two leaders to give a press briefing fairly soon and update us on the second day of the talks in pyongyang. the aim of them is to get some movement, really, on the process of denuclearisation. you can keep up—to—date on the website of the top of the hour. good morning. there is some disturbed and potentially dangerous weather on the way through the day ahead.

the met office has issued an amber be prepared warning for the strength of the wind across northern ireland and central and southern parts of scotland, and it's all down to storm ali. the satellite picture shows how it develops. this hook of cloud here, a rapidly deepening area of low pressure, and if you look at the pressure chart, you'll see a lot of white lines, a lot of isobars really squashing together across north—western parts of the uk. when you see all of these isobars on a pressure chart, well, it tells us that the winds are going to be really brisk, and as we go through wednesday morning, we'll also see some heavy rain across northern ireland, southern and central parts of scotland. but it is the winds that are of most concern. this is the amber warning area. we could see wind gusts of 60—70, perhaps 75 mph. in fact, in the most exposed spots, the winds could get a little higher than that. couple that with the rain, well, it looks like some travel disruption is quite likely, and there could be some damage, as well. and remember, the trees are still mostly in full leaf. now, even further south, it won't be as windy,

but north—west wales could see gusts close to 70 mph, 40—50 mph further south. so a blustery day for all of us. this frontal system bringing some patchy rain south—eastwards across england and wales. to the south—east of that, still, a little bit of warmth. but further north and west, a much coolerfeel, especially when you add on the strength of that wind. it remains quite blustery during wednesday night. further showers packing in towards north—western areas, and then this lump of heavy rain begins to show its hand across the south—west of england, wales, into the midlands, parts of eastern england as well by the end of the night. pretty humid to the south—east, much cooler up to the north—west.

so low pressure still in charge on thursday morning, but it's this weather front that gives us most cause for concern on thursday. look at it wriggling back into the atlantic. pulses of moisture willjust continue to run along this weather front, so as we get into thursday afternoon, it looks like the rain will pep up again across parts of the south—west, but particularly wales, into the west midlands, north—west england. heavy and persistent rain, which could cause travel disruption and localised flooding. south—east, some dry weather, still a little bit of warmth. much cooler across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england, and we all look cool as we head into the weekend. it remains unsettled, wind and rain at times. this is bbc news. the headlines: the bitter trade row between the united states and china is escalating. beijing has hit back after the us announced the biggest round of tariffs so far against some chinese goods. now china has said it will impose new trade tariffs on $60 billion worth of american goods. the us says it hopes the third meeting between the leaders of north and south korea will pave the way for the "verifiable" denuclearisation of the peninsula. the north korean leader kimjong—un

is hosting president moonjae—in for talks in pyongyang. it is the second day of the visit. and the european union's chief brexit negotiator, michael barnier, has said eu leaders are ready to offer britain an improved proposal on how to manage the irish border after the uk leaves the bloc. mr barnier said they were looking at the possibility of allowing technical checks of goods. now on bbc news, it's time for hardtalk.
