6:01 pm
president trump it's china with more terrorists the biggest we've yet new punitive duties have been announced on some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports beijing has promised to hit back. all right also coming up north and south korea get together again it's all smiles and hugs as the two leaders meet in pyongyang for a summit but will they be able to reboot stole talks that could lead to a deep nuclearized korean peninsula. and a big models for some big b.b.'s revisit an elephant orphanage in kenya that aims to see the beast from extinction. you know. i am. great to have you along everyone in the last. few minutes right before coming on
6:02 pm
air the german government has announced it will replace the head of its domestic intelligence agency mohsen has been under fire for weeks after you appear to downplay violence against migrants during recent protests in the city of chemists but the case triggered a disagreement within the german government officials now say mohsen will be given a job within the interior ministry. this story a just a breaking and details are coming in as we are on the air political correspondent kate brady can tell us more now katie this hasn't been entirely unexpected but it still took a long time what have you learned. it did take a long time there but i mean the talks that were being held today behind me in the chancellery only took a couple of hours so obviously there was a compromise ready on the table today that the conservative leaders angela merkel
6:03 pm
and hall say who are for who coincidentally is mawson's boss presented to the social democrats leader and they analysis is of course are quite curious turn of events he mohsen has been fired but he has now effectively been promoted and he will still work and interior minister a host they will for and will effectively now be one of his under-secretaries one of his many deputies in fact so this is still a curious case of events and it will be interesting in the coming hours in the next couple of days to see exactly how this compromise was reached particularly with regards to the stans of the social democrats. coalition partners in this grand coalition government because they were very sets on mohsen being fired but now because this compromise has been made that he will now be assigned a position in the interior ministry so be interested in of course to see how this unfolds in the next couple of days so effectively i mean we're reporting that he's
6:04 pm
been fired but if i understand from your reporting he's just been moved to another position. exactly he will be replaced it's not yet clear exactly who will replace him as the domestic intelligence service chief here in germany but he is being replaced so because at the end of it he has come up with a better deal at the end of the day he's now effectively being promoted so because of the mention the big question will be how did. manage to get the social democrats to agree to this compromise that will be interesting to see but of course once again the other question as well is is this just a case that the problem especially this issue of migration policy has it once again just being hatched over with a band-aid because this is the issue that keeps coming back to haunt the governor governing coalition time and time again and already we saw just
6:05 pm
a few weeks ago or the german government thrown into turmoil because of the demands from the interior minister hostage over germany's migration policy so it's unlikely as we said a few weeks ago that this is going to be the and they stale so it was but now solution has been found and we're expecting to hear more details from the wholesale over the interior minister we heard in a press statement from the intelligence service we're expecting to hear more details from him over the next couple of days with regards to who will replace mawson and also as you how mohsin will now continue his work with in the interior ministry because this is arguably a very big win for mr hoffert who has openly defied the chancellor on the numerous occasions how big is the rift in this coalition.
6:06 pm
exactly once again now malcolm's oath or eighty will again now be thrown into question of course as you mentioned this is effectively a victory for he made it clear that he back to moscow and that he thought that he should stay on as the domestic intelligence service chief of course that isn't quite the case but he can still manage to retain monson a job and keep him in the now in the interior ministry working directly beneath him as one of the deputies so that is going to be brought into question no doubt in the coming hours if not the next couple of days but of course when not now really expecting to see any drastic moves from the social democrats have they have effectively agreed to this compromise that mohsen will stay on in actually some kind of political capacity now as one of the undersecretaries for the interior minister holst they hope as they're exactly what the details of this compromise and how it was reached will still have to wait for that and of course what they got in
6:07 pm
the overturned for this compromise will be also very interesting to find out kate brady reporting thank you so very much for that well meanwhile in chemist's a court has released one of the suspects being held for the murder of daniel hilik which sparked violence in the eastern german city last month police said there was no forensic evidence to link the twenty two year old iraqi man known as use of ibrahim a to the fatal knife attack news of the killing led to mob violence and random street attacks in the state of saxony last month. here in berlin doctors treating a member of russian activist group pussy riot say it's highly likely that he was poisoned versal all fell ill after a court appearance in moscow and was rushed to the german capital for treatment doctors are keeping him in intensive care for observation but say he is out of danger. touched down on safer ground the medical transport

stands at more than seventy the storm has also hit hong kong and china. and on the subject of china that country has announced that it will retaliate against a fresh wave of u.s. tariffs on chinese imports kristoff the tit for tat continues that's right and these tit for tat measures the latest round of it has many people worried a trade war that could last for twenty years that's how i mean baba founder jack mas characterize the current escalation in trade between the united states and china for both countries made moves on tuesday to impose tariffs on a new swath of imports. a matter of hours after u.s. president donald trump slapped his biggest tariffs yet on china china fired straight back from beijing tariffs on sixty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods casting doubt on any willingness to make
6:15 pm
a deal in the near future uncertainty is now growing as to whether the two economic superpowers will hold trade talks as expected later this month on look you saw groove on we keep stressing that the dialogue and consultation based on quality good faith the need to respect is the only right way out of the trade dispute. that what the u.s. is doing now shows no sincerity and goodwill for found out soon that china's counter attack comes in response to washington's move to slap two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on chinese goods overnight on monday those duties are set to come into effect on the twenty fourth of september starting at a rate of ten percent rising to twenty five percent at the end of the year and targeting mainly consumer products ahead of beijing's retaliation president trump appeared to think the move was enough to force china to the negotiating table so
6:16 pm
china is now paying those billions of dollars in tariffs and hopefully will be able to work something out with i think they want to make a deal they don't want to make it here but i can tell you they want to make a deal. but from our standpoint it has to be fair it has to take care of our workers but both a con in the east could now be losing room to maneuver aside from tariffs already implemented or imminent trump has also threatened further punitive taxes on two hundred sixty seven billion dollars worth of goods in other words tariffs on almost every single product china sells to the united states. or our let's bring in our financial correspondent frankfurt here then all this trade this fear is escalating further how are investors reacting. folk. well when you take a look at the ship and they stacks today christophe this was actually quite a surprise because we have been most of the day here in the green the ship index decks finished with a plaster off half of a percent well why is this happening what i can tell you that investors were
6:17 pm
already prepared for this scenario they were already very sure that something like that as we have seen what happened two hundred billion worth of tears on chinese goods and all those sixty billion u.s. dollars for american products but one thing is very clear investors are monitoring all of this with great current cern and they are also thinking that it can take maybe years until this problem will be solved a very interesting call and we actually got and that's the positive news from the e.u. for institute here today in germany the head of the institute was stating that maybe germany and europe at the end could maybe benefit even a little bit because china will put a lot of focus in the coming weeks and months on europe and then you know in other news the european union opened an in-depth probe into alleged collusion by major german carmakers or anti pollution technology that doesn't sound like good news for an industry was an already battered reputation yeah exactly in more trouble indeed
6:18 pm
for the carmakers here in europe we have to remember that the commission or raided the german car makers premises in october last year and now they are saying that they are looking indeed whether the carmakers agreed not to compete with each other on developing and rolling out systems to reduce harmful emissions from petrol and diesel cars the european competition commission said today that if this really turns out to be true this may have denied consumers the opportunity to buy less polluting cars. from further. oil prices are on the rise amid signs that members of the oil cartel opec may not be prepared to raise output brant crude has been hovering at almost eighty dollars a barrel that's ten percent higher than it was four weeks ago saudi arabia has reportedly signaled that it is in no hurry to lower prices reportedly saying that
