imagine the impact you and your friends can have together we can end global hunger please download the app. this is a visit. from berlin tonight targeting china with the terror of u.s. president. the white house is slapping sixteen billion dollars worth of trade tariffs on china in retaliation for alleged theft of american intellectual property as for europe trump says the steel tariffs are on hold for now also coming

up european leaders meeting in brussels with a trade war no longer the eminent threat european leaders are refocusing on bragg's it and the real risks of not reaching a final deal on britain's exit from the e.u. . plus facebook losing face trust and users governments on both sides of the atlantic demanding answers from facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg do or say anything now to the company's biggest ever bryce. golf it's good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is keeping his word on trade and could be starting a global trade war in the process today he unveiled up to sixty billion dollars in trade tariffs targeting china for alleged theft of u.s.

intellectual property of that package comes on top of tariffs on steel and aluminum that go into effect tomorrow in say broadside beijing has already said that it will retaliate against despite trump's claims the move is justified. it's the largest deficit of any country in the history of our world it's out of control we have a tremendous intellectual property theft situation going on we're doing things for this country that should have been done for many many years are going to go now to washington our correspondent claire richardson is on the story for us tonight good evening to you claire so we know president trump is already and i so iran steel tariffs on many countries including china so why are we seeing the u.s.

now seems willing out beijing for further penalties well it's a fairly wide held a view among business leaders here in the u.s. that something needs to be done about unfair trading practices by china and how it's flooding the market with steel and aluminum but the reason we're seeing these tariffs come into place now is because the u.s. just wrapped up an investigation that says that it says shows the chinese state used hackers to steal business secrets and gave american companies unfair positions in the chinese market so what's so controversial about these tariffs is that they're sweeping and they could provoke retaliatory measures from china and ultimately result in a trade war between the world's two largest economies i mean that is the big worry tonight a sigh of relief maybe for the european union we found out today that the u.s. plans to exit the e.u. and other allies from steel tariffs what more do we know about that.

right well the u.s. trade representative said today that the e.u. is going to be initially exempt from the tariffs that are set to take effect tomorrow that's going to be a big relief for the e.u. but a temporary one there is that is is still going to depend on further negotiations and remember these tariffs were in many ways more controversial and europe has been scrambling to find a way out of them for the u.s. what it means is that it there is the potential that the potential economic impact of the tariffs is going to be much lower and when we look at all of this how much support here we see u.s. president draw enjoy or use in the united states that whole for these trade policies well the tariffs on aluminum and steel for example are very popular among labor unions and in the rust belt states where steel workers are hoping that they'll see this measure protect their jobs and in many

ways this is trump's effort to make good on his campaign promises that he's going to get tough on china that he's going to save american jobs but it could be devastating for u.s. consumers and some economists think that it's actually going to cost jobs for people who are employed in the steel and aluminum industries and as for the tariffs on china we've already seen threats of retaliatory measures that are meant to hit us industries like agriculture and punish states that trump's going to need to win re-election so we'll see just how popular they are once china makes its next move that's right after those midterm elections are not the bar where you either clear richardson on the story for us tonight in washington clear thank you very much or european union leaders digested donald trump's latest moves their summit today in brussels there was relief at washington's announcement that europe would be exempt from the steel and aluminum fair of for now at least. it's

a coup for europe good news from the us as the e.u. summit got underway few leaders had expected this but now they feel exonerated and see that european unity pays dividends. clear in the commission that we don't want a trade war which wouldn't help anyone and we made it clear that we are ready and able to undertake adequate countermeasures of the muscles and. first of all the e.u. presented a united front that's good and also a commitment to free trade and against protectionism. 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 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. 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. she seemed relaxed as talks turned to new relationships she also maintained that security even as a soon to be ex country has top priority. i will once again be stressing the united kingdom's unconditional commitment to the future security of europe and i believe. we can to ensure that we overcome the challenges that we will face there's no need to 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. we made mistakes that is want facebook c.e.o.

mark zuckerberg has said in response to that data scandal involving his company and the data mining firm cambridge analytic it a statement on his facebook profiles eichelberger apologized and promised users a new feature to turn off those third party apps apps which cambridge and 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 with it did you know what their interest was no i mean that's the thing i was pretty heavily siloed if anything as far as funder or clients i found out about donald trump just like

everybody else porton 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 on says 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 can make millions of dollars in the united states around the world but at least he ought to respect our laws there's concern outside the us to

this for a long time demanding 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. even though who don't like her fellow so for him that. 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 settle my facebook doesn't like night that's exactly why i just been searching the internet kind of freaks me out for the week worried about what it was doing with my information to force them to information to go through 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. thought we want to pull in now roman maria coital he joins us from zurich he's an author and an expert in

gentle technology romans good to have you on the show i want to get your reaction to this apology that we heard from mark zuckerberg yesterday was there anything they're missing. the explanation that everything that he is trying known to go round is his business model i mean what you think this company is making money off it's making money off our data and it's not free i mean it says when you go online and it says it is free and it will be free in the future but you actually paying with your doctor with. everybody is delivering data to facebook and it is the business model of the d.n.a. of this company to sell this started to advertising clients and here is the problem the problem is that you can micro target individuals with excellent effort but you

can misuse that manipulation for a good taishan and to deed stable is countries and states and it is indeed a very big problem for democracy and if this is obviously not just a facebook business model i mean this is the business model for all of social media so what what is the alternative now is moving forward is this business model is it doomed to fail is that what we're looking at or can it be saved at the same time we also find a way to protect our our data. well it's it is sort of new even especially from our politicians that they obviously believe that the digital revolution is about a few meters of cable in the ground and flying cars i mean this is absurd we are talking about the protection of every. person in the european

union and i would suggest even in the united states but our biggest problem is today that we have no control over the start and we are actually not possessing them facebook is like it is like a state like a country just it is not physical it is making up its own rules and we need to play by their rules and i think it is time you know that european politicians picked off by this case of the initiative to regulate facebook and the other digital players from the silicon valley from maria cordova joining us tonight from zurich for some clear clear words about the situation room thank you very much thank you very much indeed. all the world's fastest man is pushing ahead his quest to become
