7:02 pm
i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has unveiled up to sixty billion dollars in trade tariffs targeting china for alleged theft of intellectual property trump announced the measures despite what he said is a personal affinity for china and its leader we have one particular problem and i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president xi they have a great relationship they're helping us a lot in north korea and that's china let's bring in our correspondents we have javier our gave us who is standing by with us here on the set of our business department thank you for joining us javier and clare richardson has the latest from washington and clare i'd like to turn to you first because this of course you are where this announcement has been made today why additional trade penalties for china beyond the steel and aluminum
7:03 pm
tariffs that he's already imposed and why now was there a it's a what fairly widely held view among business leaders here that something needs to be done about unfair trading practices by china and how it's flooding the market with steel and aluminum the reason we're hearing about these new tariffs now is because the u.s. has just wrapped up an investigation that it says shows the chinese state using hackers to steal business secrets and give american companies unfair positions in the chinese markets but what's controversial is that these sweeping tariffs could provoke retaliatory measures from china and ultimately result in a trade war between the world's two largest economies. yes so you know that of course raises the specter of what happens next and with that i'll turn to you javier because i mean tariffs are promised a filing of a case at the world trade organization as we mentioned what does this likely to mean for u.s. and chinese industry specifically when we deal dig down into the various sectors as well well that will have it depend on which products are targeted remember that
7:04 pm
this is a step by step approach first we'll have a list of the targeted products that we still don't know which are going to be then there will be a period of thirty days to essentially get feedback in from the sectors in the united states and then the terrorists would be implemented after sixty days additional terrorist might be implemented as well and of course we are still waiting for china's response so it will highly depend on which sectors are targeted by china as well they might go into things like agriculture that will be highly symbolic especially in the states that support on trump which are the ones where i would cultural products highly depend on exports to china or they might tackle other sectors like technology as the united states is targeting the chinese products as well so it was highly depend which strategy china will follow but it will definitely be in the detriment of both economies a good least that's according to most experts and that is a flag that has been raised by u.s. industry claire i'll turn to you because in fact dozens of industry groups they
7:05 pm
sent a letter last weekend to the u.s. president and here's what they want i just like to read a short excerpt of it they write imposition of stooping tariffs could trigger a chain reaction you know so-called trade wars as we've heard javier just mention of negative consequences for the u.s. economy proving retaliation stifling u.s. agricultural goods services except except for a clear does the trumpet ministration seem prepared to deal with what could be a strong blow back air. well in a word no for now the tariffs on aluminum and steel are popular in rust and rust belt states where steel workers are hoping to see this protect their jobs and in many ways this is trump's effort to make good on his campaign promise of saving american jobs and getting tough on china but this could be devastating for u.s. consumers and some economists think it could actually cost jobs for people employed in the steel and aluminum industries so with china already threatening retaliatory
7:06 pm
measures in response to the announcement u.s. industries like agriculture could really suffer in some states that trump needs to win reelection yet in the meantime you know the u.s. has also announced that the e.u. and six of their allies namely australia south korea kind of brazil argentina would be exempt from steel tariffs that were announced earlier why is the change in two on that front you know given that does this announcement today regarding china hold water. well the u.s. trade representative said today that the e.u. will be initially exempt from the tariffs that are going to into effect tomorrow that means that there's some temporary relief for the e.u. but their status is still going to depend on for their negotiations with the u.s. and these are of course the controversial tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum that trump announced earlier this month it certainly looks like if he's walking it back and letting some of the united states' closest allies off the hook in terms of
7:07 pm
these tariffs we might see some change of face on what he's just announced on china as well has there been a sigh of relief here in europe javier well in a way yes of course but mainly because it put the e.u. in a very complicated position on the one hand you can't say that you're against tariffs in general and then be sort of forced to retaliate imposing tariffs yourself that is what the e.u. would have done but on symbolic products like harley-davidson motorcycles or whiskey as we had heard so at least until now and at least for now the european union won't have to go that way the difficult part will be as we just mentioned what is going to happen in the future because this is a temporary pause that is how it was mentioned and we don't know what's coming next especially considering that china is no the one that has to react and how they're just briefly before we go i mean this is this is a leader here the u.s. president he was voted into office promising better deals promising saying that he was you know the ultimate negotiator he said also today something interesting he
7:08 pm
said that countries are calling him that they want to renegotiate the trade deals that they're you know implying here that the tough talk is working is it are they calling him well i can not speak for the leaders but i can definitely tell you that many countries do not really want to have tougher conditions on their exports and most of them are in favor of free trade agreements which is what the u.s. has pushed for what is true though is that donald trump has many times used a strategy liked. this of threatening with very harsh reactions by the u.s. government as a tool to get better conditions and different trade deals like nafta for example we don't know what the ultimate outcome is going to be but it's certainly a strategy that he has followed the thing is we're still waiting for it to succeed having our get us more business task and claire richardson with the latest from washington thanks so much to both of you. while meantime leaders
7:09 pm
digested donald trump's latest moves at a summit in brussels there was relief at washington's announcement that europe would be exempt from steel and aluminum tariffs for now at least it's a coup for europe good news from the u.s. as the e.u. summit got underway few leaders had expected this but now they feel exonerated and see that european unity pays dividends if you have most of the we've made it clear in the commission that we don't want to trade war which wouldn't help anyone and we made it clear that we are ready and able to undertake adequate countermeasures of the if you can muscle in life and. so you know first of all the e.u. presented a united front. that's good and also a commitment to free trade and against protectionism. import takes in his words since the beginning of the month u.s. president trump threatened to levy a ten percent tariff on aluminum and steel however after intensive negotiations
7:10 pm
with the european union washington will accept the e.u. as well as six other nations from the tariffs for the time being at least that's why these countries and their leaders are wary and are asking the u.s. to reconsider for the long term and not create any trade barriers. which we sit on my wish at least is that we continue with the rules of international trade which are good for us all. to say what would also be good for all of them is to come to further agreements with british prime minister to resign may. she seemed relaxed as talks turned to new relationships she also maintains that security even as a soon to be ex country has top priority. once again. conditional commitment to the future security if. we can to ensure that we have. the challenges that we face there's no need to
7:11 pm
explain to the e.u. the importance of togetherness they're delighted that they were able to solve together at least for the time being a major trade dispute with the us and not individually. and let's get more reaction now from brussels where our correspondent mass healtheon is standing by at that you summit i can max. this is we wanted some first reactions here from you lawmakers and so we brought in philip lambert's who is the head of the european greens for first reaction now trump is not going to impose the steel tariffs on the european union for the time being are you really well you know way yes but that. warning shot to the european union we are vulnerable because we're all strategies to run an immense external surplus towards the rest of the world and that's make sure vulnerable so we should really question or economic strategy and see whether we should not have some rebalancing and boosting total demand in order to make us less dependent on exports to the u.s.
7:12 pm
to do you say to china or any place else which makes our economy vulnerable so in principle what you're saying is that donald trump had a point with threatening the imposition of terrors right but i think he has you know way in the sense that yes it's true that the european tariffs are on average should be tired then the u.s. tyrus but it doesn't go about therese it's quite obvious that in the us they have held their own responsibility because obviously they boost internal demand by massive massive budget deficits and they are going to get worse in the coming years so i think this is irresponsible policy making but we should all be complicit to that and then just enjoy the ride because well that tried may and if you have leadership such as donald trump's dissing that worries me most is that the united states under trump basically putting the world order in pieces that the u.s. established after world war two i mean i believe in multilateral trade policy and while you say you see that the intent of trump is to basically destroy what's have
7:13 pm
whatever's left of it and that should worry do europeans you just talked about the world order that's being threatened by these from what you perspective many things at the moment turkey but also we have the new. allegedly from russia on british soil the leaders here at the u. council will talk about those things today what kind of response do you expect from them well the first thing that i would like to see is unity because what we know that putin wants to play one member state against the alter and i've read some statements of of european heads of states and government and in the case in point to. pass basically playing the good boy of moscow within the european union the greek prime minister exactly and if the greek prime minister destroys the unity of the european states interest for us so unity is the first thing then purpose i mean we should not threaten russia we should respect russia but then we should insist on russia respecting us and so there what i would expect is a factual statement we do not have enough if you didn't see it as to who did it but
7:14 pm
what their strong indications that moscow may be behind it and therefore i would expect a strong statement in the sense of well if that comes from moscow that will have consequences mr lubbers thank you very much for talking to us with that back to berlin. thank you so much max hoffman there in brussels. while here to get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world because russia's ambassador to london says that britain cannot be trusted investigating the poisoning of his ex by and his daughter alexander yankel said that britain had accused russia of the attempted murder of sergei scruple without presenting evidence he also said that russia could not take british accusations seriously because the british had a record of misleading the international community. former french president nicolas sarkozy has hit out at allegations that he allegedly accepted funding from late libyan dictator moammar gadhafi sarkozy says there is no physical evidence of
7:15 pm
wrongdoing he was placed under formal investigation on wednesday for allegedly accepting millions from gadhafi for his two thousand and seven election campaign. belgium has observed a minute of silence to mark the second anniversary of the bombings that left thirty four people dead belgian prime minister sean michel laid a wreath at a memorial at brussels airport where two suicide bombers struck a similar ceremony took place at a metro station where a third attacker set off explosives. world hunger is on the rise a new report reveals that around one hundred twenty four million people in fifty one countries struggle to feed themselves last year the worst food crisis in the year was nigeria somalia yemen and south sudan where thirty two million people in total are in need of urgent assistance and when we drill down further yamin was in fact the hardest hit it has been at war since twenty fifteen and this year more
7:16 pm
than ten million people there face famine that's more than one in every three yemenis well the report says that conflict and political instability are behind most worldwide hunger climate disasters in particular and drought are also a leading cause of food insecurity twenty three countries face food shortages due to climate catastrophe as last year with african nations hardest hit now the global report on food crises is the result of a major collaboration between regional and international organizations including the u.n. world food program and christine one who spoke with the program's executive director david beasley about the scale of the current hunger crisis. mr veazey thank you for joining in your latest reports we are seeing that the number of people going hungry in the world is increasing and had been steadily declining what is the cause for that well the calls for all the rise in hunger is conflict conflict
7:17 pm
in unprecedented proportions we're seeing the worst humanitarian crisis since world war two it is so sad because we were making so much headway around the world and in reducing hunger but now for the first time it's up in such a long time from seven hundred seventy seven million people to a hundred fifteen million and even sadder news is a severely hungry people the people that are struggling to find a meal any given day that's going up from one hundred eight million to one hundred twenty four million conflict driven you point out yemen as one of the most pressing off the crises talk to us a little bit about that yemen is an absolute humanitarian disaster war stricken country for for literally years now and it doesn't matter where you are in the country the stunting rate the death rate the starvation array is just mired with war and it is very difficult for us to get food in. sea by air and then when we do
7:18 pm
get in the difficulty of getting it to the people out in the hinterlands so to speak out in the countryside and in the cities like aid and data it's a very complex situation and it's a very dangerous situation it is a lot cheaper to feed somebody who is internally displaced within the country as opposed to somebody who's migrated to another country to help us understand the mathematics behind behind that if we're speeding the syrian inside syria it costs about fifty cents per day and that's almost double what it normally cost but because it's a war zone now if we take that same syrian and they are refugee listening in berlin . the total humanitarian support in berlin is fifty euros per day so when we don't get ahead of the curve and provide the sustainable development this necessary you end up with these incredible high cost here's what's difficult is as i tell leaders
7:19 pm
in the united states and in europe if you think you have a problem with syrian migration a country of twenty million people well the greater seville region is being destabilized now by says a broker ahmed outside bob and al qaida and then you put in that climate impact of droughts and mismanagement and government bad governance that's five hundred million people and if that's destabilized they use food as a weapon of recruitment because they'll deprive people of food and i've heard more mothers tell me my husband had to sign up with isis because we had no food and if we had any alternative at all so these conflicts of costing the global economy for teen trillion dollars per year right now and all we're talking about is a few billion dollars to address global hunger in cities thank you some cheese there. is the beach yeah. well now we're going to head to south africa where
7:20 pm
the drought around cape town has been in headlines recently the situation isn't as critical in other parts of the country but it was motivating people to look at how they use water one young woman in particular area has been working out a way to use it to increase food production her solution is something called aqua politics take a look. her passion is farming fish reka liza reinach a is sixteen and still at school four years ago she started implementing an aqua panic system on her father's farm in pretoria south africa it combines conventional aqua culture like raising fish and tanks with hydroponics cultivating plants in water she started out with a thousand fish now her experiment has grown into a business that supplies fish and greens at the same time. this
7:21 pm
isn't just about remittances and it's movable so you can put it in your backyard or enugu. this is them can feed about four to six people on everything the basis is to make the place in the south sustainable with fish and vegetables it has high protein and you get that you know the. alternative systems like this one are especially important as south africa suffers from one of the most severe droughts in its history many farmers have lost crops and animals due to the lack of water. we're not getting nowhere near the rainfall we should be getting at this time of those early years of the season and it's only a devastating effect on me and on the water table that bowls are drying up one of the things we're going to be doing this week of actually learning up wolf trying to just get a little bit more water out of it. but we have two poles that are literally dried up enough that we can't even use aquaponics as
7:22 pm
a reliable alternative especially in dry times rick lazio uses what she calls a decoupled system in order to save water it's a simple way to recycle used water back into the system we send all that wood to to a friend tank i think thousand we do tank from days be full to do this system that tons of dissolved over the chance and then also in eight hours cycle that what. cleaner than what it was in the fish so since being the same this one just back to the fish tank so this is basically a big big filter or in a natural way she can say it's a big way to. another advantage you can grow anything from cucumbers to tomatoes and lettuce. vision is to roll it out to places where people are poor and water is scarce. wanting to this is the only one you need to really find. that from the fish and vegetables in your backyard
7:23 pm
and you can sell certainly to have an income. in south africa next is still in its infancy so far there are more than one hundred ninety freshwater and over thirty salt water aquaculture farms officials see a lot of growth potential in panic systems. we have awareness campaigns we also have programs whereby john and i would it's come. and hold it hold the farmers hand by hand to advise them on how to start and. we give them step by step excise i do not think the thing that the government has how i'm not. especially for young upcoming interesting is who needs funding he needs financial advice i don't think i've got enough help and advice from the government in south africa. with the world with sound government support. will continue her
7:24 pm
business and passion growing vegetables and farming fish on a big scale. and we are joined now by regulators there ryan i guess she joins us from toria thanks for being on the program. thank you now we understand that you have traveled far from the boarding school that you're currently setting out back to the farm to speak with us how do you run your farming business alongside with your studies well i have changed well because it happened so that it ran the whole song during the week and i was i had to hike to technologies that were on systems have camera systems and so and i can check everything from my phone and when it's all the what's in it was in a different benz i distinction before we saw the footage from your farm we also heard south africa is in the headlines these days for water shortages don't you dare to say a lot of waste water aren't you part of the problem. and i did produce
7:25 pm
a lot of waste looted but due to the fact that i developed the depths of the decoupled academics is that almost what is cleared up and i actually recycle that and i can reason monsters not only news about when he says they didn't and that is any duty that reddish and not the hundreds it is part of that four hundred you just wash and say i think i don't actually contributed to the amount of water loss which because i reuse all models and now you've also we understand you've developed a mobile ako pontiacs system that people can buy tell us more about that and how that might be helping environmentally speaking. so this is the reason why did a proponent system and it has a fish tank which contains it up to thirty kilograms or fish upon its growth rates on top and this is different is i mean this is me that will add in one system can produce nothing useful or timely between four to six people on
7:26 pm
a constant basis it is gained he did it can stand in the sun retain its don't all you need to do is add a containment one supporter and then it's easy just to keep that horse label by adding twenty to so so want to doing week and it has one pump that pump and cools the same amount of electricity as to let the charges so you can just connect a solar panel to it in it makes it easy easily install a brew to get in africa we people need food and i think this project and we roll down the after care all of our places we hunt these are problems and people can have job and she needs these due to that system and they can also have lab person sources that is a vegetable soup and wish this is them i can make sure that we're all around you have and that is a system that you cannot not on how much does it cost can people afford it. definitely. not africans and it's fourteen thousand six hundred grand so.
7:27 pm
how much of that behavior are actually. roughly about thousand yes it's ok if it's not not not that factually but you know in the meantime we want to ask you a little bit more about your fish farm. or what do you feed the fish on. well we have committed eyelets that's made specially for those as shellfish and these pellets we bought from a factory and every stage of the fish is sized it's inside it's size a planet it's basically like three like happy planets and i don't pilots for dogs it's exactly the same inspiration he said and he has more specialized sides each side his own generals approximates for that specific size so it's much more intense but it's just an almost eliminated handed because. we want to thank you so much because he is that right now. panics foreigner in pretoria doing it at such
7:28 pm

a woman in egypt some things turned out differently forced marriage genital mutilation humiliation. so i know i will also know we rebelled. the written word to stand up for women's rights. no one and so don't force a future story you. d.w. . welcome back you're with t w news i'm sarah kelly in berlin our top stories u.s. president donald trump has unveiled up to sixty billion dollars of trade tariffs on china for alleged theft of american intellectual property elsewhere though his government is set to spare key allies including the european union from already announcing charges. on steel and aluminum. and do you leaders reacted to that news in brussels they are meeting for a key summit set to be dominated by italy this planning for brains. well now we
7:31 pm
made mistakes that is what facebook boss mark zuckerberg said in response to the data scandal involving his company and data mining firm cambridge analytic up in a statement on his facebook profiles luxembourg apologized and promised users a new feature to turn off third party apps which cambridge analytical allegedly used to harvest private information. it began with an innocent personality quiz and ended up with a fifty million facebook profiles being used to sway elections. now the question is why didn't facebook do more to protect its uses. the scientist behind the quiz says he is a scapegoat. did you know what they were going to do what they did you know what their interest was no i mean that's the thing i was pretty heavily siloed of anything as far as funders or clients i found out about donald trump everybody
7:32 pm
else they're going to give people more options than just facebook founder mark zuckerberg broke days of silence on the scandal admitting the company had made mistakes. i started facebook and at the end of the day i'm responsible for what happens on our platform we will learn from this experience to secure a platform further and make our communities safer for everyone going forward. he's promised to make it easier for users to manage their privacy settings. even so lawmakers are demanding answers from the man at the helm. wouldn't it be great for him to show up like most americans do want to have to testify as to the practices of his company he could make millions of dollars in the united states around the world but at least you want to respect the laws there's concern outside the us to
7:33 pm
this for a long time to mandate an explanation of why this could have happened whether german users in accounts were affected and what facebook intends to do to stop anything like this from happening again. as her fellow so for. added to a plummeting share price and threats of legal actions from investors. has much to think about but perhaps the biggest concern is loss of trust. when weird things show my face go down like i that's exactly right just in search of the internet the kind of freaks me out for the people worried about what he's doing with my information before sunday's last formation of the world from the process makes this feeling even stronger. the more that emerges the more questions mount about one company's role and down to protection and democracy. and for more let's bring in now a quite old who is an author and an expert in digital technology joining us from zurich
7:34 pm
this evening welcome good evening so we have here mark zuckerberg apologizing is it enough. well it's the d.n.a. of his company i mean it's the business model we're not discovering something new everybody knew this for the last two years just channel four discovered that and you know when you hold a camera on to something that people all of a sudden get informed it seems. everybody knew. been writing this in a book some two years ago and the problem is not cambridge analytic or clearly it is the d n a and the business model of facebook dot dot of uses data of everyone that is watching us is a commodity it is it to be traded and people are interested. to share on facebook on instagram and if now somebody says you know i'm not interested
7:35 pm
anymore in facebook i go to instagram i can only say well that's facebook too and then somebody said today well i'm not on facebook i'm on the web that's facebook too so you have out there it's being collected everything that you do on the internet is being collected and the purple right why don't you do this is to to monetize your data so put yourself in the shoes of somebody who wants to continue using the services or perhaps wants to sign up for them you know mark zuckerberg he announced some new security and privacy measures he says he has promised them will they be enough what do you make of them. well again this is his business model the company lives on selling these daughters to advertising clients and on the other side of that token you can do some harm to people with that you can manipulate you can disinform you can take people why
7:36 pm
is that possible because there is something we cope psychometrics psychometrics is the possibility to analyze your personal psychology what's in your head with only a few likes three hundred four hundred likes and i know you better than your mother does and based on those psychological infra structure this idea of every happy everybody at the arm's length in terms of you know what he is up to i can manipulate but we could marketing i mean but you presumably. presumably i mean you know i he has said here though that they're going to be looking at these apps these apps that use your information also you know pointing to the fact that you can't control your privacy on the platform so i mean would that be a daft though. but this is the nature of the digital
7:37 pm
revolution and my point here is everybody does that with what you think the cookie on your on the computer that seems reading everything that you are doing on your computer and you know not in that aggressive way that google does the same thing an amazon does the same thing so this is what the digital revolution is about and this is my point my point is we are facing a political. so mary to people in berlin who aren't aware of what you can do with a state of this is sort of mini i just want to ask you very briefly before we go because you know here in europe there is of right to be forgotten in other words you know the tech giants like google like like microsoft for example if you are a european you can petition that and say hey i want to delete all of my data is that enough of a sorority blanket for those who are concerned oh it's out and then i would say. no
7:38 pm
it is not and politics will have to get into this and we'll have to get into techniques that is indeed boring but is the only solution that you have we need to protect european customers and i would say even u.s. customers should be protected from being manipulated by a few people in the silicon valley fascinating stuff from emory acquital author an expert in digital technology joining us from zurich thanks thank you very much. i mean time in germany a court has sentenced an afghan man to life in prison for the sexual assault and murder of a woman in freiburg it's a case that has raised concerns about immigration not least because the man was convicted of attempted murder in greece before arriving here judges though have sent a powerful message that germany won't be lenient with new arrivals. it's the most severe penalty a german court can impose
7:39 pm
a life sentence and preventive detention afterwards for the perpetrator the court ruled the f.b.i. in migron plant the crime try to cover it up and accepted the likelihood of the victim's death her parents lawyer said he was satisfied with the verdict. as to determining the severity of the crime it was important to hear this it must be said that this is a murder case in which the severity considerably goes beyond that of other cases to put us in those twice since. october two thousand and sixteen it was here at the riverbank in the city of five book that the perpetrator attacked his victim he pushed the medical student off her bike sexually assaulted her then threw her into the river the case hiking to debate over germany's refugee policy someone seeking protection had committed murder the right wing populist alternative for germany party used the case to criticize the government the perpetrators spectro and also
7:40 pm
raised questions he had been convicted in greece of attempted murder but was released on probation he then disappeared and ended up in germany the authorities were clueless and internets and other found them. regrettably the greek authorities did not launch an international search if they hot suspect would have been identified to routine and check. in for shooting in. the perpetrators h. was also heavily disputed the migrant claimed he was a minor but a medical examination revealed that he was likely to be at least twenty two years old that's why adult criminal law was applied to the verdict of the perpetrator that means he's likely to never again walk free in public. time for business news and happier get a. thank you very much there indeed we're going to take a look at a situation that is ongoing in zambia human rights organizations are concerned
7:41 pm
about the ongoing a vixen of thousands of farmers in the country they're being forced out of their homes and farms to make room for big scale industrial agriculture without compensation of course many still continue to work in the farms and have to travel long distances to get their. families live in this forest in zambia powerful farmers wish they didn't and want them to move on it's rugged country and vehicles only take us so far we have to finish our journey on foot human rights lawyer. has taken us alone he wants to help these people in these remote areas little to put suits before some of them not by choice because bustle in india where they can for. learn to think and to proceed to figuring out where. we saw firsthand just how far these families were forced to move it took us two hours to get there. those we meet say they were forcibly evicted from their old
