since and then this is a split decision the grand jury disputes ontopic d.w. news and business. this is due to abuse coming to harm from berlin china hits back for what it calls the largest trade war in history beijing sponsor challenge or a terrible certain u.s. products the second immediately this after the u.s. imposed duties on billions of dollars in chinese imports and authorities now say time is running out for twelve boys trapped inside outside carrying dropping oxygen

levels and worsening weather in the rescuers it must act fast to get the boys out. and the world cup quarter finals take off today we'll take you to europe live for an entire country is gearing up for their match against france expectations are high as is the nation's footballing pedigree and its passion for the game. the show my name sarah harmon it's good to have you with us china has taken its first shots against u.s. goods in what it calls quote the largest trade war in economic history as responded immediately to new u.s. tariffs by imposing its own and saying they're already in effect the u.s. levies affects some eight hundred chinese products we're talking cars planes hard drives the two of us some thirty four billion u.s.

dollars meanwhile china or tell us more tariffs target us agricultural products like soybeans and the chinese are turning their response into a propaganda victory. ever since u.s. president donald trump first announced tariffs on chinese exports beijing has been open about their own plans for italia treat tariffs on u.s. soil beans among other products for american farmers soybeans used to be one of the top exports now china is working hard to increase its own soybean output furthermore beijing is scoring political points by opening its doors to other asians oil producers the chinese government has announced plans to scrap tariffs on soybean imports from india bangladesh and sri lanka they also announced that they would reduce tariffs on other products from asian countries despite president trump's claims that it would be easy to win a trade war american farmers are already finding themselves on the losing side.

meanwhile the president is ready to further escalate the situation announcing tariffs on an additional sixteen billion dollars in chinese goods taking effect in two weeks after that trump said the u.s. is ready to target a total of five hundred billion dollars in chinese imports. every business anchor helen humphrey is with me here in the studio helen we just heard china hitting back where are we now in this trade dispute here several with really now in position where we're seeing the policy of america first go straight up against made in china these two ideologies coming together now and what china is calling a trade war so all week we've been waiting for the united states to impose those tariffs as it promised washington did say at midnight washington time yesterday beijing straight bat with confirmation and with basically

a measure for measure level playing field right now in terms of the terrace that have been implemented thirty four billion dollars apiece the united states promising to increase that significantly potentially to five hundred a billion but we've actually seen those a u.s. products which it's been targeted i've had a look at that list it's interesting a lot of agricultural products the idea i think there from beijing to target solomon's pharmacy very fit for trial in the midwest essential as i mentioned china again calling it a trade war so i did put that question to. his from the international trade center in geneva or i asked to a week at the trade war is this rhetoric used by beijing right now let's take a listen to what he told me. we don't have that sound bite essentially what she told me right now is that this is the most dangerous level in tit for tat measures that we have seen since the

world since world war two some strong language heritage what happens next we've got to for tat there's just continue to escalate for all eternity where we go from here it could escalate considerably and what we've now starting to understand is the fact that the world trade organization which could operate in this case you know maybe bypassed it maybe second navigated we could see this going from a trade war to a currency war through the manipulation of exchange rates if we saw that happen you know in that case the basically a toothless tiger it doesn't really have any room to arbitrate in that way w t o's already issued a warning saying if you decide to remove all tariffs and tariff barriers to trade barriers for example what you may end up seeing financial impacts which would be more harmful to the global economy than the global financial crisis do thousand eight wow ok so a lot to watch out for here but at this point where we are with the u.s. and china who has the edge but i think anybody has the edge essentially right now

sara again when i spoke to gonzalez what she told me is that you know using past is prologue nobody wins in a global trade with heard the same thing from the international monetary fund in recent months leading up to this we do know who loses that is the consumers in the u.s. and in china as well as the global economy global growth for costs have already been downsized for the coming year in the wake of this trade dispute you will have more on the escalating trade dispute in the business block that's coming up in just a few minutes time. so we are turning now to thailand where rescuers say time is running out as they're working to free twelve boys and their soccer coach who are trapped inside of a flood of cave and just how dangerous this mission is where shown by the death of a professional diver who is working to bring air tanks to the group oxygen levels are sinking more monsoon rains are expected authorities say this rescue needs to happen soon it's dark dangerous work

water levels a high narrow passages flooded. and still the volunteers continue their mission but with news that a former tiny navy diver has died no one can ignore the risks involved some unproven and he was thirty eight had successfully delivered tanks event to the trapped boys and their football coach but he lost consciousness on his dive back it is very risky please think about it a navy seal just passed away last night so how about a twelve year old kid. there's a renewed sense of urgency to find a way to free the twelve boys and their coach they've been stuck in this cave for almost two weeks with oxygen levels drilling and more heavy rain expected officials

are aware there is no time to lose. previously we thought the boys could live there for a long time. but now everything is changed by we really only have a limited time. for the boy's relatives it makes the waiting even harder. over here to watch the news and it is still dangerous to come out here . i'm worried he has never dived but can swim a little bit. rescuers are trying to provide a line of air to reach the youth football team but as they're trapped for kilometers inside the cave nothing about this operation is straightforward. staying in thailand the death toll has risen above twenty taurus boat accident off the resort island of cat around fifty people have been rescued but dozens more are
