for staging a journalist death and accusing russia of his murder here says its security forces face to our kiddie option close assassination to expose a kremlin ordered plot against him he has been giving details of the hoax murder and sucker shocker we all madrid to coach the nadine's he then quits just days after leading his team to a third consecutive champions league title he says his job is done when he can walk away with his head held up high. on layla rock thanks for your company everyone it could be the start of a global trade war the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross says the u.s. will impose punitive tariffs on in portage steel and aluminum products from the e.u. they come into effect on friday along with tariffs against canada and mexico steel

will face a twenty five percent tariff an aluminum ten percent. after last ditch negotiations in paris you negotiators were unable to get the u.s. to reverse its position the e.u. has already put together a list of u.s. products which will now also face retaliatory import tariffs they range from agricultural produce to motorcycles. well as we try to digest what this all means let's bring in the washington correspondent claire richardson and your correspondent get your comment this hi guys claire want to give you the first word a busy times a where you are america breaking bread with a north korean spy master and slapping its allies and biggest trading tariffs partners with terrorists how do you explain that absolutely it's been a busy week here in washington but look this decision comes after months of uncertainty surrounding these steel and aluminum tariffs the trumpet ministration

first announced them back in march and then after an outcry from europe from allies in europe canada and mexico they issued exemptions to say ok we're going to put this on hold and see whether we can strike a deal and our europe has been looking at this very nervously ever since we had on the americal we had french president in my own home both come to washington d.c. to try and lobby trying to change his mind to get some kind of an agreement before these exemptions expired which was meant to take place overnight tonight so we've just seen this announcement saying we're going ahead with them as plans that the tariffs will be imposed and this is trump's way in some ways of trying to bolster the u.s. steel and aluminum industries in key states where he has a lot of political support at home but of course key allies say that this is that the way it was implemented on the grounds of national security is in violation of world trade organization rules and they are certainly unhappy to see this come into effect today garrett i'd like you to weigh in this couldn't come at a worse time for the e.u. . absolutely it is a difficult time particularly if you look at italy which has

a political crisis there's a real political crisis potentially coming up in spain with some expectations that the prime minister may step down so it is already a difficult time politically in europe and now after all the dilemma as we have seen the pull out of the paris climate's accord the the withdrawal from the nuclear deal with iran this is just another step where the u.s. is walking away from the key ally the european union so it's a dark day that is. put in a tweet it's a bad day for world trade and the u.s. now leaves us no other choice and claire people are still holding out hope for an eleventh hour resolution talk to us about the timing of this decision sure we'd still seen last ditch efforts to try and convince trump of course this comes as the united states is also trying to renegotiate nafta it comes

a week ahead of the g. seven meeting in canada where we're going to see the world's top economies including some of the ones who are being affected by these tariffs all meeting together and it really it sets the stage in a way that explains trump's world philosophy that he sees the united states in many ways as a victim of these international agreements that it struck with its partners he thinks that the u.s. is not getting a fair deal and that true to his campaign promises he is delivering by walking away from these kind of agreements and putting tough tariffs even on key u.s. allies in ways that could really damage transatlantic relations again or go one of the eans options now. a number of options really on the table i mean we will see of course this implementation of a rebalancing measures that's what to see. the commissioner responsible here has called it all of the measures she made very clear will be proportionate and

they will be within the deed of the w t o trade regulations there are some expectations i just talked to a lawmaker from the european parliament who said that. while if you want to call them punitive tariffs will only be hof of what the e.u. could actually do at least that is what the european parliament has recommended so there is this list of tariffs and then there are the e.u. will also trigger a dispute settlement case at the w g o this will rather be a symbolic act to emphasize again that the e.u. would like to see a multilateral solution to this crisis all right cleansers i want to put the same question to you but you've got twenty seconds each claire want to start with you is this what the beginning of a trade war looks like it's a little bit too soon to say that's definitely the major concern that this is going to escalate tensions with the united states key allies and create a major trade conflict but it's going to remain to be seen how the e.u. actually does indeed go ahead whether it puts in retaliatory tariffs that are

effective or if it takes any other candidate measures. it's a day it's a dark day for the european union but they've made clear over and over again that they do not want to see a trade war and so i would say once a month from says this is not the way we do business here particularly not with friends and allies you will see great efforts to remain on the track of friends and allies here from the european union. responding to support from brussels and washington correspondent claire richardson thank you both now to some of the other stories making news around the world. space prime minister mariano rajoy looks peri's to lose a parliamentary no confidence vote expected on friday spanish media say the socialist party leader paid their sanchez has enough votes to defeat roy he's been under pressure to step down after members of his conservative popular party were found guilty of corruption. the european court of human rights has found two
