this is you know we knew it was live from berlin not backing down the united states slams the e.u. with aluminum and steel tariffs setting the stage for global trade war a punitive measures come into effect immediately after a last ditch talks in paris broke down the e.u. ready to hit back with its counter measures work in washington and brussels also coming up ukraine under fire for staging a journalist death and accusing russia of his murder kiev says its security forces fates are cut arkady but she closed the assassination to expose a kremlin order plot against whom you shared details of the hopes murder and the soccer shocker real madrid coach seen it easier than quits just days after leaving

his team to a third consecutive champions league title he says his job is done and he could walk away with his head held high. with. thanks for your company everyone in a move that could further worsen already strained transatlantic relations the united states is going forward with implementing steel and aluminum tariffs on imported products from the european union while rather than extending a friday deadline punitive measures come into effect as of midnight along with tariffs against canada and mexico after a last ditch negotiations in paris collapsed you negotiators were unable to convince the u.s. to extend exemptions they or has already put together a list of u.s. products which will now also face retaliatory import terrorists themselves on the

american has called the u.s. tariffs illegal and warned of a potential escalation spiral in global trade. it's the moment europeans the a producers were dragging their help there would be except from us tariffs europeans export tree point five million tons of steel to the united states every year but only between e.u. and u.s. officials most recently at a always city summit in paris have proved fruitless. so you see you feel they don't know what the decision will be dangerous for growth for trade right and the level of your growth both in the united states and in europe as well as the rest of the world's oldest we don't want to trade more to get a better. starting on friday washington will impose in part tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on the menu of canada and mexico have also not been spared both countries share a border with the us and i currently negotiating

a new version often after free trade agreement with the neighbor the e.u. is already preparing retaliatory measures this is a but they probably were. european union cannot. react to that we've told you kind of reaction so really you need to introduce a sort of a dispute. on the on the w t o love of country knowledge and it is covering all those. measures do you consider is in part to tease on u.s. products such as motorcycles whiskey cranberries and oranges mexico is also contemplating countermeasures. are everybody's trying to digest what this all means let's bring washington correspondent claire richardson and correspondent derek motus to help us make sense of all this clare want to start off with you if i may how is the commerce secretary the senate the american decision to slap its allies

and biggest trading partners with these terrorists. well when the trump administration first announced these tariffs back in march they said that the tariffs were essential for national security reasons that having strong u.s. domestic production of steel and aluminum was important for national defense now of course key allies see them as unfair trade practices and trump really has a lot of political support in some of the states that are some of the biggest steel and aluminum manufacturers in the united states so he's perhaps looking to them with an eye of winning support in trying to prop up their industries. in the meantime and this can come at a worse time for the e.u. . there's never a good timing for something like this particularly if it comes from friends from allies from close partners as the u.s. has been called in a number of statements now coming from european union officials but you're right obviously the european union is at the moment particularly busy with

a political crisis it's only a looming crisis in spain and dealing with the off to miles off the fact that the u.s. has withdrawn from the nuclear deal something that has already caused damage to the transatlantic relations so yes the timing is is really bad claire people will still holding out hope for an eleventh hour resolution talk to us about the timing of this decision. sure i mean this follows months of uncertainty a lot of anxiety especially from key european allies as well as allies in mexico and canada for the united states this originally as i said before was announced in march and then after out an outcry the united states issued exemptions to some of these places they were set to expire at midnight tonight here and we had seen a strong lobbying effort particularly from the european union and heads of state there to try and convince trump not to instate these tariffs we had of course

chancellor angela merkel here in d.c. as well as french president emanuel knock on both of them top of their agenda was to try and prevent these from taking a fact or two at least when another exemption as for their negotiations could take place it appears that the united states has been unable to get the kind of concessions that it wanted from europe and so therefore we've seen them announce that they will in fact go into effect at midnight. what next i mean what are the options now well you've heard of the head of the european commission in that report just now so the immediate reaction will be to trigger a dispute settlement case at the w g o but these cases drag on for years so it's rather some symbolic step then within the next couple of hours we'll have to see what kind of punitive measures are coming up these are the so-called imposition of rebalancing measures that the famous list of products where the e.u. will slept arabs long. was very clear we were left with no other choice if you can

slip terry's on us well we can do the same is his message in terms of bilateral relations the ties were already strained for the reasons that you alluded to a little earlier could these tariffs push them over the edge. that clearly is a danger but if you listen carefully to look he referred to the u.s. as friends again and again and that was reiterated a number of statements so there is a clear commitment on the part of the e.u. to calm things down the concern really is that this is potentially targeting the w t o it's targeting the entire architecture of international trade and for the european union this is a big concern younger went on for instance to say that at the moment yes the feeling that u.s. friends turn their back to everything that sounds like multilateralism and so that you will see efforts on the part of the european union to work against this targeting multi-lateralism to reach out to the u.s. but at the same time you will also see them play hardball they're playing hardball

clare you get the last word what's the end game here but that's a thing that's very unclear it certainly appears that the trump administration has been burning bridges with key american allies it's going to remains to be seen exactly what kind of retaliatory tariffs take place how strongly europe and other allies react to this we already know that mexico has said it's going to penalize imports of apples grapes cheese and of course there's the famous list of retaliatory tariffs from the european union that could go into effect targeting key states that have a lot of political support for donald trump and efforts to try and punish him not to mastic lee. claire de york thank you both for your continued coverage greatly appreciate it. and then this is kind of your story because how have markets reacted to all these developments they've reacted pretty severely i would say business ties across the atlantic at a new low leyla financial markets tumbling there are fears this latest move would

lead to a trade war and those hit by the times that immediately reacted with retaliate three measures the u.s. commerce secretary will ross makes it sound like european leaders are just blowing the whole situation out of proportion. so there are there are for our. own products the beer soft during soup it's all a fraction of a penny each of those in terms of an automobile it's also a fraction of one. for the economy overall it's a very small fraction of one remember we're in a scene surely and our economy the u.s. commerce secretary putting things into perspective for us he says everyone's going to get over this in june time the reaction from financial markets was livelier

conrad i saw that dax dip below the. dip down quite dramatically it was basically a vertical line just as that news came out tell me more about the reaction i guess traders think this is going to go on for some time. of course ben and of course this is not the stuff that traders like you know that's not something to inspire and the demand obviously the shares of the steel makers today were hit significantly here in france for two thousand krupa and both in the trading in the red. slapping twenty five percent price increase on european steel products in america that makes a large part of those products uncompetitive in the u.s. but that's not the only problem a steel makers here in europe feel a cascade they think that much of the chinese steel which cannot be sold in america anymore because of the terrorists will eventually end up on the open european

markets and of course for very very low prices will tell me can europe do something about that europe put tariffs on chinese steel imports. well that's what some of the lobby groups or the steel makers have in mind they have demanded. measures safeguard measures they call them against this expected glop of chinese steel coming to europe but safeguard measures that sounds like protectionism from the european side and this of course would not be according to the rules of the w t o the world trade organization conrad thank you i look ok thank you so much ben i want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. space prime minister mariano rajoy explores to lose a parliamentary no confidence vote expected on friday spanish media say the

a victim of its own fame the beach lies on the small island of p.p. late in the end the men see well that's true islam has damaged its coral reefs and harmed sea life and authorities say it's time to get the beach a break. my ebay can be a magical place but just after sunrise the first speedboat zan to the calm. skipper sumit mooney kong and says living from tourists and has mixed feelings about the closure even if it is just for a few months. our family before the speedboats came there were wonderful corals here the boats of damaged them on the other hand a lot of us live off the visitors. and. some twenty beach wardens to wreck the traffic here otherwise it would be total chaos birds from the mainland spit out hundreds of tourists the beach is only two hundred

metres wide the boats have to take turns to more up the smell of diesel hangs in the air as many as five thousand people come here every day the idil is long gone. i mean india would die to have something like this around and you have to preserve it you have to have a limit to everything coming in and out. so you have to respect nature for how what it is and what. the damage is most shocking underwater dying coral reefs and plastic rubbish not just here in my ebay ecologists a seventy seven percent of thailand's reefs have been harmed can for months really bring about recovery you know to see a change in four months it takes years and years before population to recover and. has a reduction in people anyway. so there. is

a lot of people. in the peak season in the national park great scene more than fifty thousand euros a day in entrance fees how much of that flows back into environmental protection is not clear. yeah the closure of the basic stream the controversial so too is the way forward. for months is the period everyone could agree on. it's a stone. it will give us a chance to inspect the bay and see what else we can do by cleanliness how. the engines are revving again the last tourists dispersed just before sunset the reef heron has the white sandy beach to himself and last at least for the next four months. ben's back with more business news and him burgers heaping pressure on the german government to force car makers to retrofit dirty diesels otherwise leyla

city officials say that a driving ban on older diesel vehicles will stay in place the port city is the first hit to make the controversial move in the wake of the emissions cheating scandal but not everyone's convinced of its merits in reducing air pollution. starting today it's the law shows a man staff say is one of hamburg's busiest roads and from now on only diesels meeting the strict euro six exhaust emissions standards are allowed here. but so far little has changed even older diesel trucks are still out and about it's not an easy band to implement with no windscreen badges police can't readily see if a vehicle meets the required standards or not. meanwhile at a press conference in hamburg environmentalist's local shop owners and residents and their anger. but for some the band doesn't go far enough for others it's

half baked. somebody they're just doing things for the sake of doing something they're not thinking coherently. it's a rush job i went there had a listen but it was all just stock answers made me feel sick and. we're told the ban is about protecting people but all it means in fact is that other people will suffer more pollution i think that's terrible especially as i also live along one of the diversion rates. the second ban is here on the six hundred meter long max brauer home to two hundred seventy two people the aim is to drastically reduce the area's high nitric oxide levels yet thousands of people living along the bypass routes could be worse off as a result. how bugs in barman minister however rejects such claims.

if. it's a false assumption made without attention to the facts these measures will reduce the pollution on affected streets and we've done careful calculations to ensure that the limits won't be exceeded on on the roads as a result. as yet there are no penalties in place initially police will just inform drivers of the new rules and after a transition period contrary visit will be fined twenty five euros and truck drivers three times as much. the job of the day we sent to one of those restricted roadways in hamburg where i'm hoping the air pollution levels are a little lower today you know tell me what chances does have berg have convincing. through it's little better than forcing ca makers into retrofitting vehicles. well it's hard to imagine that would really get anywhere and now most of the locals that we've talked to here who are angry at the ban are directing their anger at the

local government of hamburg as opposed to the federal government so from a public pressure point of view that already doesn't work and many of them are also highlighting the lack of imagination must have taken to only create solutions around the offending cars as opposed to using it as an opportunity to zoom out and rethink solutions in general like incentivizing car sharing for example or improve mass transit now looking so far has also convinced the federal government that it should compel the auto industry to do the retrofit and for the auto industries part it insists that it needs the money in order to be able to invest in new technologies it's hard to imagine that this little band in hamburg would break that cycle and could the little band become a big bet. well first of all this little that house to work i've been here all day and let me tell you i've seen a total of one truck make a u. turn in order to avoid answering the band's own i'm still seeing trucks i'm still seeing cars which probably have older diesel engines and i'm it's hard to tell just by seeing which tells you a bit how big of an enforcement problem this is so in any case this bad still has

to grow a little bit and credibility and efficiency before it can become a big bound ok so yeah because a lot more to prove i can see quite a lot of people on their bikes so that's nice to see you know don't stay out on that street too long breathing in that a. diesel benz true book about you can see that the danish parliament has passed a law banning the islamic full face veil such as the niqab and burqa in public spaces becoming the latest european country to do so although the law is popularly known as the burqa ban the danish government says it's not aimed at any religion and allows people to cover their face when there is a recognizable purpose such as protection in cold weather it's not known how many women where the niqab and birth are in denmark. real madrid coach seen the things that i was living a never ending success story he just led his team to a third consecutive champions league title and is that the top of the football

world but at the relatively young age of forty five z. devon stepped down as the coach of ryal simply saying it's time to go. the announcement that stunned the football a blur. zenit indeed on stepping down as reanimate great coach this despite bringing a record to three straight champions league titles the first coach to achieve that feat snapping up the last one just under a week ago against liverpool. who could be in sorry this is the right moment for everyone it might seem a bit strange but it had to be done for the good of everyone the players the club and myself your circus movement to build this team must keep winning and it needs a change after three years another voice or another method of work in the us it is so but i thought. it's one of the most pressurised jobs in the world of sport some fans are unhappy that the done only manage to lead his side to a sing

a spanish title but that doesn't diminish from his historic champions league success the frenchman can walk away with his head held high unlike at the world cup final in two thousand and six against italy as well as a player he lost his composure and head butted the opponent but he's learned from that mistake and now he leaves just as unexpectedly as he caned i.d.'s neon madrid . there has also been big news surrounding the world cup in russia captain paulo girl who has been given the all clear to play in the tournament for the first time by a swiss federal court while guerrero tests a positive for cocaine and had a ban imposed by the court of arbitration for sport that court is based in switzerland meaning through were able to challenge the suspension in the swiss judicial system the thirty four year old blamed the test on drinking coke up which
