the gunman claimed allegiance to the so-called islamic state the french prime minister eduardo phillipe is on his way to ted he said the situation is quote very serious. and i witness interviews describe what he saw at the scene let's have a listen to what he had to say. we're delighted you're the young among them. i heard that they started shooting at the police and the people living nearby had to leave. up a security perimeter and shut the route for two hundred meters either side block told roads. meanwhile in a tweet post is just a short while ago the french prime minister edward philip wrote that quote all information points to an act of terrorism is a sign of how seriously the french government is taking the incident phillipe said he's cutting short except to eastern france and returning to paris meanwhile interior minister said that he's traveling to the location immediately to oversee

the developments on the ground now for more on this breaking news situation i'm joined by our correspondent lisa lives in paris these are what's the latest you're hearing about the hostage situation in ted. well the situation is still ongoing the information suggestion is really quite celtic the local media and national media are reporting that between one and two people are dead but there's no official confirmation of that from the authorities just yet we are also hearing that apparently the man has pledged allegiance to the so-called islamic state the terror group that's been confirmed by your authority as national french media also saying that apparently he's asking for the release of sad one of the masterminds of the threat of the ten to fifteen by to plan attacks here in paris that is unconfirmed so far however but apparently the police there. at the site

that about two to three hundred to three hundred police officers there and special forces apparently there are in negotiations right now with the hostage taker that is if in the pictures that we are seeing seems to be like a very small a place has any information about a militia bot the attacker the identity of who he might be again unconfirmed reports by the french media saying that he's about thirty years old he's morricone and parent he was known to the police and for being radicalized at the authorities have not confirmed that just yet but one police officer from a union said in french media that he was very surprised that such an incident was happening in such a small town or a very few thousand people living in tire so it's really surprising to many here that something like that could happen in such as honey place. can you confirm is that a no no but of the hostages are still there inside the supermarket or has something

really has been also getting reports of injuries. yet again very confusing reports here on the one hand there's some media saying that the employees escaped through the back door and there's a saying they're still in there we don't know how many people kept being kept inside at the supermarket chain has said that a few dozen people showed up for what this morning at the supermarket is about two thousand square metres of quite a large supermarket but we don't know yet if all of these employees are still being held inside also there are reports and pictures apparently of people lying on the floor police police members have set to the press you know unnamed police members have said to the press that parity they believe that at least one person is dead but they couldn't confirm that obviously because they couldn't go into the supermarket so it's rather unclear what the exact situation is at the moment it's still ongoing but if they feel it from what you're saying now tell us about another

shooting incident that they came from caucus on which is about fifteen minutes drive away from ted but this hostage situation is going on what is what happened there well that's a separate incident that happened this morning apparently a man in a car trying to run over a group of four police officers that were jogging then he got out of the car they threw themselves to the ground and he shot at them one of them was hit in the shoulder apparently his life is not in danger according to prime minister filipe however we don't really know if this person that did this attack that committed this attack this morning and the person who's now the hostage takers at that's a good knocked out one of this and same person the police has said have said that they found his car abandoned but again we don't know anything about the identity of the first attack. and we certainly francaise suffered a number of a major terrorist attack since two thousand and fifteen what's their reaction mean

to this latest incident which is taking place. our people are poor and obviously they're saying we didn't do it they knew that something could happen and a new turn in a new terror attack is one of the main concerns of the friends according to recent polls they knew that something could happen but ever hoping obviously that the authorities might protect them especially as you know there was the state of emergency in place until late last year and then the government enshrined maced of these these rights into common law so the police has a white ranging powers to act against upcoming terrorist attacks and many people here were hoping that that would work these other is in paris thank you very much for that joining me now is a french politician and not illegal he's a member of the senate of france and he's also a member of the commission on foreign affairs and defense forces welcome to you and

the government is calling this incident a terrorist attack how can officials be so sure this is one well first of all. the terrorist claim that he was acting in the name of so cold i still send state and then probably has some command twenty inter-personal market so such as about or something like that. tom what has been report so and then hylas been send very quickly to the charge of terrorism cases so i think. yes it is and what we see the reaction and that's going to have any you heard about this incident you know is exactly the kind of incident as you say it's a terrorist attack it's a incident. which is absolutely not predictable you cannot imagine that one guy

probably alone in the leto's down south of france will act and behave like that civil but nobody can predict it. what is security like in france because as i mentioned since two thousand and fifteen france has witnessed a whole series of attacks attacks terrorist. well we increased demand as early the security forces and also as the tools i heard you approved of previous comment about the state of emergency we know pretty bring walked into regular. so the police has a lot of tools. we reserve budgets. and also we also increase the intelligence services so we did a lot of progress of course since charley and the better. seems that even with the . speed in which the police came to the place of the supermarket is also the sign

that every scene was ready in case of which was not exactly like that previously. but as you mentioned that the state of emergency was lifted in at taba last year was other more that was supported by you. or your in fact what happened is that we we moved the measure. which were the state of emergency regulation into the regular regulation in fact is just big for me it's just the same scene is just that we it's a secure larrys. the state of emergency has a regular regulation instead of an emergency regulation but what you have to understand is of the two of us exactly the same and we do know call the state of emergency or because all the package which was in the state of emergency regulation is no ins or regular regulation writing is i beg your pardon to go ahead. yeah i

see it everybody is on the high level of. terrorism attack of potential terrorism attack germany france italy you know. the wages we have to leave with that it's not only france it's everybody which is under threat unfortunately yes and that's illegal in paris thank you very much for talking to bill you are a member of the senate as well as a member of the commission for foreign affairs and defense for thank you very much . and of course we'll be keeping an eye on that breaking news story in south western france and we'll bring you more news as soon as we become details come in moving along to other stories than china has said it will fight to the end if u.s. president alan trump hits it with new trade terrorists trying to threaten to impose the test because of what he says are unfair trade practices by the chinese his announcement sent global markets sliding as fears of a trade war grew as much as sixty billion dollars worth of annual chinese exports

to the u.s. could be affected. stock markets tumbled on friday as fears grow of a tit for tat global trade war us president donald trump plans to hike tariffs on up to sixty billion dollars in goods from china retaliation he says for unfair trade practices we want reciprocal mirror if they charge us we charge them the same thing. beijing says like for like should not be the goal on trade and it would rather convince washington to change course but the chinese are ready to impose return to treat terrorists on u.s. products like pork and dolly minium. i'm cheechoo from she showed me a journalist position has been stated clearly the information is plain to see it's impolite not to give as good as one gets we hope the united states can treat chinese interests sincerely and solemnly and act rationally and prudently jump on

the top. business leaders a warning that a full scale trade war would not benefit either side. the response from our members has been one of concern that these actions could be to a trade war which is something that nobody wants to see at the same time it's important to recognize that there has been a growing sense of frustration within the business community about the lack of progress and market access openings in china's increasing use of industrial policies some commentators see beijing's response to president trump's latest tariff plans as relatively measured but washington is hinting that more punitive measures on trade could be on the way. helena now with more on the reasons behind washington's decision to impose tabs on china every to thank you very much with a full analysis i'm joined in the studio by michael but economist at the humboldt

university great to have you with us as well as linda hall correspondent in singapore also on the line thank you very much to both of you firstly to you michael we're seeing this ratcheting up of tensions between the united states and china it's now official with making the announcement regarding those tariffs what can we expect the food out to be because it seems that the european union is very much in the middle of all of this the u.s. and the first instance exempted from this action but by may first will be decided whether or not they have to face the same conditions and i think president trump is going to put pressure on the european union to maybe make a few concessions or make some move some gesture to improving the trade situation with the united states do you think the e.u. will be able to come up with something what do you think that it could potentially put on the table there's a lot of discussion whether some of the old teach of discussion should be raised again there are a lot of good things that were in the tip discussion a lot of mutual reduction of tariffs or

a lot of unfair tariffs that are some of the residue of history fifty year old tariff situation needs to be rectified both sides can complain i think there is some gain for discussion but not again from a trade war all right well if it's. singapore then talking about a trade war and the potential for tate for tat moves what can we expect to happen now with regards to china what do you think that they will now day. well china says plenty of measures to fight back areas are. in pods so i've been aircraft. electronic chips and. don't forget you know china is h.-u. the largest manufacturing base for some of the largest u.s. electronics companies such as apple as well as intel.
