move to increase tariffs on chinese imports. tariffs of $200 billion worth of goods had been due to rise from 10% to 25% on friday, but in a tweet mr trump says there has been substantial progress made in negotiations, including on it —— intellectual property, technology tra nsfers intellectual property, technology transfers and on currency. in a follow—up tweety said as a result of the progress he is delaying the hiking tariffs scheduled for the first of march. mr trump says assuming additional progress is made, a summit with president xi jinping will be planned at his resort at mar—a—lago to conclude the agreement. earlier i asked, how important is this delay? this is huge, actually. before, we were thinking that maybe the deal would bea thinking that maybe the deal would be a very small deal in scope, only including the easiest issues. the fa ct including the easiest issues. the fact that he is already sort of

outlining that he is going to delay the deadline signals, to me at least, there has been enough progress and enough give from the chinese side to essentially, you know, get towards a full—blown deal. both sides were at loggerheads on intellectual property, cyber theft, and of course on technology tra nsfers. and of course on technology transfers. they think one key agreement that was being forged over the weekend was on currencies? agreement that was being forged over the weekend was on currencie57m agreement that was being forged over the weekend was on currencies? it is kind of strange. in the beginning the us wanted china not to intervene in currencies and let their currency float. but now that the yuan is depreciating they are seen, wait a second, we need a stable yuan. so it is sort of a change in tune, but it is sort of a change in tune, but it is sort of warranted, in the sense that it has moved quite a bit. of course, one major sticking point here is the enforcement of this agreement. it seems like the trade representative has differences with president trump on how this should

be enforced, whether it should be a memorandum of understanding or some other kind of arrangement? yeah, basically trump comes from the real estate world were a memorandum of understanding is essentially an agreement that is non—binding stock but in the world of trade policy, this is an agreement that sort of sets the pathway for a full agreement. sojust a clash of sets the pathway for a full agreement. so just a clash of two worlds, in terms of the terminology. a clash of two worlds in terms of terminology, but what do you think is the best agreement that will be completed? i would decide with the trade representative, he has been 30 yea rs trade representative, he has been 30 years in the business of international trade, he knows how these things work. i would side with him,i these things work. i would side with him, i would these things work. i would side with him, iwould bet these things work. i would side with him, i would bet my horse on him. briefly, could there be a failure in the negotiations going forward? absolutely. the whole process is going to be a long and arduous process because there is going to be

a need for constant monitoring and wa nts a need for constant monitoring and wants there is a violation, there needs to be a way to enforce it. all these things need to be hashed out beforehand. now, apart from these ongoing negotiations in washington dc, the forthcoming kim jong—un and donald trump summit in vietnam is also what everybody is watching out for. ahead of this gathering, kim is due to arrive in hanoi on monday. there are two days of negotiations and they will begin on wednesday, after they met for the first time last year on singapore —— in singapore. and guess what, he is travelling by train. for more on this i am joined by mariko oi wait. this is a marathon trip! it is, it could take more than two days, almost three days, to be exact, to travel thousands of kilometres through china. we saw him leaving pyongyang on saturday, but we show you how long the journey is. so, from pyongyang he got to dandong and

then beijing, the chinese capital. then he went to naning in the south of china before crossing into vietnam. so, who operates trains there? from paging to hanoi, there isa train there? from paging to hanoi, there is a train operator called china railways. of course, kimjong—un is using his own train, and none is up train travel from pyongyang all the way to hanoi is a combined rail route of over 4000 kilometres. if his train could maintain an average speed of 90 kilometres an hour, it would take at least 47 hours. but it has been reported he is leaving his train at the border and travelling the last to hanoi by road. that car journey is expected early tomorrow morning, when traffic will be banned from a section of the highway. the big question is, why is he not flying? it has been rumoured that his father and grandfather were scared of flying, but that is of course not the case with kim jong—un, because we know that he

flew to singapore last year. but a p pa re ntly flew to singapore last year. but apparently finds the change any more co mforta ble apparently finds the change any more comfortable because he has more space, which i tend to disagree with. i would have flown, if i was him. kim jong-un, train lag instead of jet lag. him. kim jong-un, train lag instead ofjet lag. thank him. kim jong-un, train lag instead of jet lag. thank you him. kim jong-un, train lag instead ofjet lag. thank you for that update. well, as the world's eggers mobile phone show get under way in barcelona, spain, china's huawei has unveiled a device with a folding screen. this is less than one week after samsung did the same. huawei's device will work on new five g networks comes with a hefty pricetag. —— 5g. the telecom indications giant faces stiff opposition from the us which once china shut out of the future of this new technology. rory cellan—jones is more from barcelona. it is the biggest annual event of what many see as the world's most important industry, and is mobile world congress got under way, one chinese company was determined to make a big

the united states is putting a lot of pressure on to european companies not to engage with huawei, because otherwise they are seen as not being secure, so otherwise they are seen as not being secure, so the us is basically saying if you are employing huawei, we are not sharing any level of detail is with you, secret details and intelligence details with you, because that can go back to china. they, how was it going here? across town, another chinese firm, shaomei, was unveiling its new phone. security officials say the nature of this new high—speed data networks they —— mean we are right to be cautious about who controls them. they —— mean we are right to be cautious about who controls themm is reliance for the —— emergency services, food security, automotive, all these different sectors. they essentially relate to national security. so it is critically important that we deal with these issues and make sure we have a secure 5g network.

of the labour party now, and that means that everyone that cares about our future, whatever tradition they represent, has to find it within themselves to work more closely together. he said the party had to be a broad church. on brexit he said labour was moving closer to backing another public vote. on anti—semitism, he urged the labour leader to personally intervene. the test for us, the test for him as a leader, is to eradicate anti—semitism. it is not other labour party members that will be the judge of that, it's the britishjewish community, and i think he understands now that if he is ever to be prime minister, he needs to rebuild that trust. tom watson said jeremy corbyn had to take a personal lead and make changes to the labour party if he wanted to get into downing street. this was a direct challenge to the labour leader from his own deputy. at a rally yesterday, jeremy corbyn said anti—semitism in any form was unacceptable. his allies say action is being taken, although admit it could be faster. i want us to be the best political party in dealing with issues like anti—semitism and racism
