with its own high tariffs on over three hundred american products and that means tough times ahead for american reed and regions that export billions in products to china take the city of wichita according to the brookings institution no other metro area in the u.s. is being impacted more by the u.s. china trade dispute. visited wish to talk to find out what business people are saying they're. from handrails and alloys. and in rubber own two just the companies in which is that over a wide range of aluminum however should have been strong decision it's becoming more and more difficult for the brothers to calculate their contracts a big impact for a deal in about six months. if. we didn't affect our market but we had to be very careful and project because you did

a project let's say in january and it goes up thirty percent by march and your bid is not very good anymore and i'm going to hurdle terror of taxes on imports and exports says karen page c.e.o. and president of kansas global partners for twenty five years she's been working to help local companies to improve their position in global markets now she has to deal with more and more businesses suffering from treat. it we're hearing from companies they they may have to lay off people they can only absorb you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then. be competitive competitive they can't south they can't sell they have to lay off. according to a recent analysis which should tell with its spoke on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture it's more exposed to chinese terrorists than any all the us metro area but it's not easy to find business people ready to talk about that some of. off

camera that they don't want to be seen to contradict president in this deeply conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which the us economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is keith miller at third generation farmer he's been in the red for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the market dropped despite the fact that he soybeans are doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving are in you are from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause enough for her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about the

worth of the income is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that trump can strike a deal with china and most of all miller hopes that this will happen soon. and monica jones will be taking a closer look at the economic impact of the tower of song china that's later in this half hour saying in the u.s. president trump has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of lying under pressure from prosecutors investigating campaign finance violations the white house is grappling with allegations the president orchestrated an illegal cover up to buy the silence of two women who claimed he had affairs with them the president's confronting mounting legal and political threats as well as a result of the statements made by co. oh for the first time u.s. president donald trump has been directly tied to his associates crimes and

a guilty plea trumps former lawyer and fixer michael cohen said unlawful payments he made to silence women with dirt on trump then candidate trump's behest in an interview on fox news trump denied any violation of campaign laws did they come out of the campaign they didn't come out of the campaign they came for me and i tweeted about it you know i put the i don't know if you know but i thought we did. about the payments but they didn't come out of the campaign fact my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey. and the line at the white house is clear. as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in this he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him for nearly a congress which wields as much authority as the executive branch at least on paper may see things differently impeachment becomes

a possibility when there is evidence of what the u.s. constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but lawmakers are treading carefully and i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like. this over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people be a juror so you wouldn't expect greta. to would make it be so impeachment and do you hear what the house represented the fake that's because it's the house that votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate where is the republicans control both houses of congress a source of comfort for trump but by no means complete security we want to find the collusion now for some of the other stories make in the news today the australian prime minister malcolm turnbull is claiming to power in the face of

sports news now and for the first time in the fee for corruption scandal of a major figure in international football sentenced to jail that sentence coming in a new york courtroom ya. use force here to talk about this good morning to you this is a watershed moment can you tell us more yes you may remember almost three years ago in december twenty fifth dean a number of favor officials were arrested in a zero cotto that was led by u.s. authorities the investigation into alleged record tearing or abroad very if you will so you know one of those officials just say martin has now been sentenced to jail so he's the first high profile football official to be sentenced to jail. he's from arizona he said that he was a former top official. for the brazilian football federation and he's been sentenced to four years in jail on six counts of corruption charges but we have

a report now gives us a bit more background information on that case. just say maria marine until his conviction and u.s. court in december spent a lot of time moving between his temporary digs at new york's trump tower and a federal courthouse that ended with guilty verdicts on six counts related to taking over six million dollars in bribes while handing out broadcast and marketing rights for major soccer tournaments. the former head of brazilian soccer marine was one of the qadri of men at the top of the sport's governing body. on a cold december morning mere feet as headquarters in zurich in two thousand and fifteen swiss and u.s. investigators coordinated a raid on a luxury hotel. marine and a handful of other futile powerbrokers were arrested some than extradited to the u.s. it was an exclamation point to the corruption crisis at fee for. the thief

a corruption case ranks as one of the largest criminal prosecutions by the u.s. in recent years with some forty defendants most foreign nationals half of them have pleaded guilty marine did not. nor did codefendant one and held up vote of paraquat who once was head of south american soccer he'll be sentenced next week almost certainly to prison based on the judge's comments for taking over ten million dollars in bribes himself. ok this sounds like a major sentencing how significant is it so it's hugely significant mainly because . it's the first top official to be sentenced to jail prosecutors were asking for ten years in the end they got four years. as well as mentioned the report he will be sentenced next week and this somewhat draws a line under the investigation but forty people were addicted twenty two pleaded guilty based who were two of only three people to actually fight the charges but there's still more to come forty people are still in the free in their countries

all facing extradition so there's still more to develop in this story ok this was a major operation by by u.s. authorities can you give us some background on on how this all unfolded yes so as mentioned previously it happened three years ago when the u.s. authorities stormed as your hotel arrested seven top officials and this took faith a boss surprise it was really a bit of a shock no one of really ever tried to interfere with faces before and it led to then president sepp blatter being given a ban by favor and in came johnny infante know and he promised to bring a new book to football and to clean up the organization ok maybe it is cleaned up at least a little bit now young speak from didn't use force thanks very much. well it is being hailed as a giant leap forward for weather forecasting after sixteen years of intensive planning testing in construction a new satellite sent into orbit last night to monitor wind systems around the globe

. speaking to. the satellite launch from the european space agency's spaceport in french guiana it's been named. after the keeper of the winds of greek mythology scientists hope the data collected will help more accurately predict extreme weather and climate change. for more albert joins me from leipzig he's a meteorologist at the library institute for research good morning to you. can we have our weather forecast to be more accurate from now on when it says it's going to rain well it yes i can give the d.j.'s yes because wind is one of the fundamental power and we just engine model need proof and they don't have it their profiles are given for ten percent of the glow person needed for the whole globe it will work and i almost as i love the laser will provide

a service. picture. in always a go and that makes it into predictions cannot be byzantine alternation so if you're also nations the prediction will be much better and you should look ok the predictions can only be as good as the observations but how can this satellite measure wind on our planet when the satellites out in space. yeah so if you have something minutes i can explain but i have to make sure my short version so this yes so this is in line does this laser dispersion firing positives and say gold reserves and on the way to the us the scope of it some light from arrows or skull probably it's ice just inspectors a satellite and from that can you get a good picture of the back scatter answer tricky thing this jets is able to see even to movement of the passes so not only is it content even movements and then it's easy to translate this information in wind speed and direction that's

a simple trick ok that sounds that sounds good but will this technology help us tackle climate change and extreme weather the type we've been seeing in the summer you know i guess save you for this question because it's not only meet your well in climatology it's really since this laser is this is everything it is tacit cease fire small from california all those who are the world sees clouds and the same and we get a much much better picture on all of the interaction between pollution resorts kraals presentation and we will do that all of the law in the pool our regions in the top leagues and simulators so it i'm sure that will be a big big big step forward for the next three years which is our science albert on xm and thanks so much for breaking down what eolus will be doing for us from leipzig joining us this morning thank you for. wal-mart is here now at the business in china has already responded to the latest american tariffs which i was just thinking their rocket science is easier to solve them that trade dispute

is that when east west and china brine and in the last few minutes china has said it's slapping retaliatory tariffs on sixteen billion dollars worth of u.s. goods and this comes just after the latest round of u.s. terms went into effect the tit for tat exchanges hit markets during asian trading our stocks in shanghai hong kong and chanson slipped in early often in trading and that's after a little detail emerged from the first high level talks between beijing and washington in two months the chinese commerce ministry has also said it would mount a legal challenge to the u.s. tears of the world trade organization economists warn that the trade spat could spread and slow global growth through twenty twenty china continues to reject u.s. demands to dial back the large scale expansion of its tech sector now that push in to take has had the united states worried of a challenge to its industrial leadership the so-called made in china twenty twenty

five plan is meant to catapult the world's second biggest economy to a global technology hop. the world's workbench and. chinese internet giants like search machine baidu tech invest a ten cent and online retailer ali baba and the leading global innovators they've risen from start ups to multi-billion dollar conglomerates albeit with considerable state backing. subsidies cheap loans restrictions on foreign competitors copying copyrighted technologies it's no holds barred as china zeroes in on becoming the world's leading industrial economy. the successes of this state controlled economy are impressive gross domestic product has expanded at a breathtaking rate and it's rapidly closing in on current number one the u.s. . beijing's made in china twenty twenty five program is aimed at finally

transforming the huge country into a global economic power. ten key industries including aviation railways and electrical tows will get privileged state treatment foreign imports will be made superfluities china would rather export to the world the us is not the only major economy getting worried just recently germany prevented chinese investors from taking a stake in power grid operator fifty hertz the u.s. has now restricted technology exports to china. and many say the us penalty tariffs on chinese products are less a response to illegal state subsidies by beijing and more or less desperate attempt by the americans to stop china taking the technological lead. all right let's talk about those u.s. terrorists and the impact on china catherine young investment director for a delegate international in hong kong joins me now catherine officials from both

countries are holding talks in washington what hopes are there to resolve the dispute. well it's likely that this round of discussions is going to be very similar to previous discussions so this back and forth in terms of negotiation style the market really has priced in pro risk when it comes to the trade issue between the chinese and the americans a bit of a different or a contrary view point is that we actually think that perhaps over the next quarter or two you might see a resolution to the chinese coming to the table with the americans perhaps in terms of an energy deal for example now the u.s. of course is still an important trade partner for china do you think that this trade dispute could change that it's unlikely given that we are still seeing these two very large economies so whilst we have this overhang of what's going to happen next the chinese still have a lot of capital which in fact they could deploy elsewhere around the world perhaps

around asia or areas such as europe and i mean you talk obviously is your job you talk a lot to investors in the region what's it like to invest. in china now given those tariffs that are implemented. when we look at the chinese market is it is down significantly versus the us markets you could argue that perhaps the trade related risk has not yet been priced into u.s. equities given where the u.s. market is trading but on the ground when you do speak to chinese management teams they are a little bit cautious about what's going to happen next from a trade perspective and this isn't having a knock on effect in terms of the companies reinvesting into their businesses and this could have a knock on effect in terms of productivity growth so there were chinese government is cognisant or aware of this issue which again bring me back to the point why why we do think that they could be a resolution sooner rather than later and just very very briefly catherine from

your perspective which side is more interested in resolving the dispute. i think both sides are and when we look at the the sectors of the industry that the americans have so far been really targeting it's very much the industries that are common in the body trained so internet related industries and again that's why we're likely that the resolution could come in terms of more old economy china which again is energy related so we win for the americans because of the deal being struck in china giving in to the americans and the china we do have a lack of energy sometimes from a seasonal perspective so be a win for them to right catherine young the investment director at fidelity international in hong kong thank you so much. counterproductive and senseless that's how russian president vladimir putin labels the latest tranche of u.s. sanctions against russia which have now come into effect officials in moscow say

they're bracing for lower growth and a weak a ruble as a direct result until now the kremlin had dismissed the big falls of the currency as market volatility not anymore. russian reporters saying that the u.s. has no sports or gas turbines to russia along with key items for the aviation industry like jet engines and electronics. until now the kremlin has been demonstrably on ruffled by u.s. sanctions especially since an earlier round had long reduced trade in military goods. but the mere announcement of this list sent stocks in large state owned companies tumbling on the moscow stock exchange. kerry aeroflot slid twelve percent of the beginning of august when the sanctions were decided. on the ruble exchange rate has dropped sharply in recent weeks foreign minister sergei lavrov is outraged. it's quite obvious that these sanctions have nothing to do with syria

ukraine or crimea. they're being used to enforce unfair trading conditions or to hobble the russian economy. a further round of sanctions lined up for november could target banks u.s. russian air links imports and exports and diplomatic relations. they would hit russia's six largest state controlled banks as well as the country's entire oil and gas industry all of which would have dire effects on the russian economy. is a reminder of the top story we're following for you. on the. chinese officials holding talks in washington to diffuse speak. it's. coming live from thanks for joining.
