1:13 pm
a connal in russia's military intelligence service. in two thousand and four he was arrested for selling russian secrets to british intelligence six years later the double agent arrived in britain as part of a spy swap. russia has strongly denied any involvement in scruples poisoning just not going to be honest it's difficult to evaluate this story as anything other than provocative media allegations intended to further exacerbate relations between our countries solution but london has threatened a robust response if the trail of the poison leads back to moscow that if this does turn out to be in any way. the result of hostile activity by another government or directed led by another government. then the people of this country can be absolutely sure that the u.k. will respond. no details about the nerve agents have been released but experts say

this kind of substance is difficult to produce and not available to the general public some areas of salzburg still cordoned off the first police officer on the scene is now in serious condition in hospital. you're watching news coming up ahead what these women are doing is considered illegal here in russia they've started a horn repair business one of one hundred professions off limits to women in the country. but first we had enough from our business desk and despite international donald trump strict policy continues despite the controversial it looks like he may just be pushing ahead with that despite the fact that many people including his top economic adviser resigned from the white house very concerned about that now just a week off to donald trump announced plans for new trade tariffs on imported a million and steel us president is reportedly ready to sign off on the potentially
1:15 pm
this afternoon that they would take effect within a month canada mexico could be exempt according to the white house but not the european union and brussels announced yesterday that it's poised to strike back in what could be the sounding start gun for a trade or. donald trump's tariffs could soon drive up the price of imported steel and aluminum in the u.s. but with talks underway to renegotiate the north american free trade agreement the white house now says its neighbors might not be included. and there are potential carve outs for mexico and canada based on national security and possibly other countries as well and if that's a sign the nafta talks may be going trumps way other u.s. allies have so far been restrained in their response the european union has threatened to retaliate. by slapping tariffs on a number of iconic american products like motorbikes and whiskey that don't account for a huge share of transatlantic trade meanwhile trump's democratic rivals have warned
1:16 pm
against the danger of a trade war saying he should focus his energies on where the trade deficit is biggest the president's instincts to go after china are correct but the policy proposes doesn't fit the bill it's not well targeted it's not precise and as a result it could cause a mess of collateral damage that hurts america more than it helps. a more subtle approach levying the tariffs provide some hope to european steel producers they're worried about a major upheaval in the pricing structure of their most important market and a potential flood of cheap steel from china that is no longer going to the u.s. . let's get more on this now with our financial correspondent. at the frank stock exchange now with the u.s. tariffs the tension being signed off on today are investors getting just just three . well like everyone else they're waiting to hear whether it will actually happen today there's quite a lot of reporting that indicates it could spill over onto tomorrow as this tariff

1:18 pm
he's likely to be asked about it at the press conference that will follow the policy statement that he's releasing within the hour now now he will be asked about it but he's not expected to say very much about it now that you see the of course has to be very careful with the signals that it sends the markets and especially all this talk of a trade war there is some built in potential for volatility there also we have to bear in mind that he also hasn't achieved his policy target of getting inflation up to just below two percent so that would be a nother cause for restraint as well but investors will be looking for signs in the policy statement that concession concessions were made to policy hawks that would like to see a quicker and to stimulus. at the front for the stock exchange for us to to talk. well french companies will have three years to raise their gender gaps or face possible fines that's under plans presented by the prime minister filipe and there was
