had been under fire for weeks after he appeared to downplay violence against migrants during recent protests in the eastern german city of chemists they case divided chancellor angela merkel's coalition government or today in a crisis meeting the fate of must and was decided the credibility of the government it may have taken a hit as well we begin tonight with this report. the decisive meeting at the chancellery was held in the late afternoon for days people could only speculate whether the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency would stay or go the coalition party leaders reached agreement within two hours musson will leave his post but he'll actually be promoted to state secretary of the interior ministry for now the coalition has been spared the s.p.d. which had given an ultimatum supported the solution from us and. the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency came under heavy criticism for
9:03 pm
a public statement following right wing riots in the eastern city of cam nets. mohsen asserted that the video being circulated did not necessarily show mobs hunting down individuals but had possibly been manipulated to spread fake news. mohsen statement directly contradicted chancellor merkel's from the start she had condemned what she referred to as a hostile mob. the only politician to defend mohsen was his boss interior minister who wants a whole for who heads the conservative c.s.u. one of america's coalition partners. as a whole for is expected to describe the details of mawson's new position on wednesday and to name his successor at germany's domestic intelligence agency. or here at the table with me i was a political correspondent kate brady she has been on the story all day the story of the fate of mr moss and i think it's safe to say that everyone expected him after
9:04 pm
today or sometime this week to no longer be head of domestic intelligence but what comes after that i think none of us was expecting exactly they were very wise today in berlin that they that the coalition they does was going to reach a compromise but it was unclear all day exactly what that would be of course now we found out that as well as losing his position as the chief of germany's domestic intelligence service is actually at the same time the. promoted which as you mentioned has now brought into question the credibility of the government and already this criticism for many m.p.'s particularly on a social media questioning whether. these accusations of disloyalty and even incompetence that have been reported from mahsud if that's the new benchmark then what does that mean for the koreas implicit expense it is as an excellent point if people or from the outsider looking at this story they see that me and he was head of domestic intelligence he i mean his job is to protect the constitution
9:05 pm
the government tells him that we don't have enough trust in you so what are the consequences he's then me deputy minister of the interior how does it happen exactly this is now an even higher position void he'll be one of many one of several definite is in the interior ministry but of course to be a state secretary in germany is one of the highest positions that you can have without the leader of that specific ministry and of course they arrested as all the interior ministry will actually appoint the new head of germany's domestic intelligence service so theoretically he could also have oversight of all this could give at least mohsen a bit of oversight as a deputy in the interior ministry over his successor oh so that makes the story even more and do use your words surreal here and so where do we go from here the public is going to see this and they're going to see a man who did not have full you know trust from leaders of the government and so
9:06 pm
the consequences were not that he was fired but rather that he was given a different position so. i've been saying all day that it seems like the disconnect between the voters in the state that disconnect is getting bigger by deuce decision would you agree that i think that this. discontent among voters as well is certainly going to increase for a long time many voices and we saw that in the results of last september's federal election they said that they felt abandoned and of lost faith in germany democracy and i think this in turn is going to push voices further away if someone who is being accused again of disloyalty who's been accused of having links to the far right because he there were accusations that he passed on sensitive information to the far right if people see before even being made public on top of that he had to question the authenticity of one of those video showing far right violence in the
9:07 pm
eastern german city of chemist's just a couple of weeks ago so i think people are going to question this decision for sure and also what exactly brought the social democrats to the point where they agreed to this compromise they went into these talks today with a with a very strong stance saying that they are jersey mohsen out which of course is the case but this promotion is really quite curious it gives the impression that what was most important was that everyone involved was able to see see would you agree with that exactly i mean everyone can walk away with this saying that they have gained something old that they have a point to prove cause and when and as i mentioned the s.p.d. a social democrats can say yes we got what we wanted mohsen has been fired but also he's been promoted and then you have whole thing hopefully he can go back down to bavaria and understand what he exactly and he can say as in so he is

is trade war against china would effectively bring around half of all chinese goods imported into the u.s. under president donald trump's tariff regime washington's first round of punitive taxes which started in july concentrated on industrial goods this time around a wide range of consumer products are to be taxed effective september twenty four actually it's a disgrace that it wasn't so china is now paying those billions of dollars in tariffs and hopefully we'll be able to work something out work i think they want to make a deal they do want to make a deal that i can tell you they want to give you. but from our standpoint it has to be fair it has to take care of our workers china has with leave out a counterattack an expected response previously it said it would impose tariffs on another sixty billion dollars in u.s. exports to move on though we keep stressing that the dialogue and consultation based on equality good faith and new chilled respect is the only right way out of the trade dispute but what the u.s.
