behind just a moment but first a look at what many fear could be the start of a global trade bowl. european leaders responded to the reality of new tariffs with frustration and even exhaustion so we're angry concerned outraged because we've been in talks with the americans for months now but annoying they don't listen and they think they can belittle us but that's not possible the americans and the europeans are allies and that's not how it's treat each other. thus finished. behind the frustrations are concerns over industry a glut of metal with nowhere to go means falling prices which could in turn threaten european jobs that would have broader consequences to the economies of european member states. the e.u. says it has no choice but to retaliate with proportional penalties on u.s. products like motorcycles jeans and whiskey a threat brushed off by u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross you've been there. three tele and even have

some others. will move to remain unlikely to be as much as one percent on our economy canada and mexico are planning their own retaliatory tariffs on products as diverse as yogurt coffee washing machines and lawn mowers. europe is the u.s. is the largest trading partner which means a tit for tat between the two economies could be damaging for both and especially for consumers. that's the threat now being sized up by markets wall street was rattled by the flurry of announcements and indeed down on the day asian markets began down but recovered just the earliest signs of investor uncertainty over the future of global trade. and this is what finally go the e.u. straight commission. outline the blocks response to the u.s. status here is what she said. so here we are we have times they were also imposed this morning and on canada and on mexico we have been very clear about the

consequences of doing this the european union will today sent. a request for consultations and later appended to the w.h.o. of the countries will as well maybe not today but in the coming days we have stuck to the preparation for the so-called rebalancing measures and we will do that on a proportionate and measured way. joining me now is a mix of bureau chief in brussels max you listen to what cecilia monstro had to say she can phone book we've been carrying with it he was taking the case of the world trade organization not just the u.s. but also china what do you make of her comments. well the part with china is probably to soothe the united states anger a little bit over these measure that she's also announced because this is not about just ending a relationship with the u.s. but also trying to find a way to renegotiate what's happening there so that's why clear signal here we're

not only doing something about the u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum but we also want to make sure that the w t o is just for everybody meaning we're also going to take china that both parties the u.s. and the union you see at the origin of this dispute because of the prices of aluminum and steel that are coming from china we're also taking them to the w t o thus demonstrating firstly that the w t o works and secondly that we're not only going for the united states but also to the country that's at the origin of this dispute and mike says she was talked about what you call rebalancing measures as which is said to be proportionate and measured but she gave no details what can we expect that. yeah that's no that's the famous list that was established already over the last months you know we've been talking about possible terrorist for example on motorcycles from the united states harley-davidson or bourbon or orange juice so this list does exist and it's been also registered with the w t o from

that point on you need thirty days for it to come into effect or to be possible to trigger those measures but the thing here is and that's why munster and wasn't too specific about it you still need the different member states of the european union to prove those measures and that hasn't been done yet because the commission really is only suggesting things here but really making the decisions is up to the member states and you have different positions there so even monster and couldn't say what those measures exactly will be but a marshall did say that the e.u. views these of these by the u.s. as protectionism one it is the e.u. that this could mark the start of a new trade war between the u.s. and the e.u. . well monstro after announcing those measures did continue talking about what the us president recently said repeatedly that he wanted to slap a tax on luxury cars from germany some reports even say he quote him as saying he

doesn't want to see any mercedes benz rolling down fifth avenue in new york city anymore and of course that's very worrisome for the european union especially for germany car industry is one of the major factors here if that really have and then we have a full blown trade war because as annoying as those tariffs on the lumen and steel are for the european union they're not going to make a huge dent this is a very important symbol and basically unprecedented unprecedented step at least for the last two decades but still the actual effect on the economy is probably not going to be too great but if this is the start of the trade war tit for tat and we end up with tariffs or even a ban on luxury cars from the european union then the e.u. has a huge problem maxiell fun of death has been achieved thank you very much for that assessment. and we'll have more on that issue in our business segment which is

right after this news that we now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the wild a new populist coalition government is set to be sworn in italy today incoming a prime minister just said because they announced it's for the cabinet last night the new coalition is made up of the far right league and the populist anti establishment five star movement. german prosecutors have applied to extradite the former president bashar al assad regime or in spain to spain he's facing charges of corruption and rebellion there was detained in germany on a european arrest warrant for his role in last of two of his independence bit by catalonia the exhibition must first be approved by a court before it can be carried out. north and south korea have bizarre will be a key part of efforts to resolve the nuclear standoff with pyongyang. and not a spin where marianne or a whore has been ousted as prime minister after losing

a large contingent of police and also of hunting experts who were searching for these animals apparently eventually they were fur they were found by using a drone. cameras from the air were able to track this animal stall and you know that there was everything was secured again by about sort of familiarity off the new and by and all the animals are safe with back within their enclosure and the people outside obviously also safe that there's no wild animals no dangerous animals running around anymore yeah absolutely as you said the animals have been taken into custody once again but it must have caused a fair bit of alarm for people to know that these five fitted to cats were roaming a drowned unprecedented is an incident like this. well certainly that doesn't happen very often i only know of one other incident of a similar nature here in germany that was at the zoo in the city of life sick where

the scape from their enclosure during the night while the zoo was closed and probably as far as i know didn't get any further than the rest of the zoo as it were they didn't get off onto the streets the two lions were one of the had to be killed the other one was put back into its enclosure that's the only other incident that i know of it does happen every now and again that animal started running wildly you know and causing some sort of disruption collars on the highways and things like that but this number of big cats being on the loose that's certainly a totally unprecedented very unusual incident absolutely and they all safe and sound like that for the poor bear hunts beyond parliamentary studios thank you very much for that. a jewish a youth sports to intimate is taking place in munich this week and integration is the big theme discrimination remains a problem for some young jewish athletes in germany but all one has is a making
