listen discover the world. subscribe to documentary on youtube. i was after the united states more than doubled the tariffs on more than two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese exports u.s. president donald trump tweeted that he was in absolutely no rush to finalize a deal with china and that the u.s. economy would gain more from the levies than from any agreement so what do the chinese think i don't feel gail in berlin and this is the day.

present the right to go after chinese first presently take a long period on and we're worried about what he impact is going to be on our farmers and i'm definitely worried about what's going to happen i think they're targeting these tourists. to to a country like china he's been cheating for so. if that's what keeps him if the table if we get it figured prevent the next new series so i think we're going to see a brittle effect through our economy and a lot of questions about what's the president's plan how good the chinese will come to the table and will be able to negotiate your place he makes his decisions and such and. just precipitous way that we don't really have a sunset here to spend it with this. also coming up right. make stock market stay pure fell on early trading maybe wall street had been leading the research just out that painted him as part of the problem rather than

the solution when it comes to traffic congestion and drive us on top either. the amount of money that you're only. getting. you know everyone has read has agreed to write. another day at a seeming pass in the trade dispute between the united states and china and another barrier of tweets from the us president we have lost five hundred billion dollars a year for many years on crazy trade with china he tweeted no more is another terrorist will make our country much stronger not weaker just sit back and watch in the meantime china should not renegotiate deals with the us at the last minute this is not the obama administration and here's one more all time favorite president got tired of waiting for china to help out and start buying from our farmers the

greatest anywhere in the world. so tired of waiting in fact that the president more than doubled tariffs on chinese imports despite the fact that the two sides are due to continue that discussions so let's talk about the chinese the likely chinese response to these the tariff increases and how this brawl between the world's biggest economies is likely to affect the rest of us chang levy is director of the john l. thoughts and china center and a senior fellow in the foreign policy program at the brookings institution is also a director of the national committee on the u.s. and china relations welcome to day w. when the president accuses china of renegotiating deals at the last minute what does he mean. well he believes that the china go back with some of their remains of previously. on and not the new nature of. his point but china for them to take a different view most the chinese people they believe the us last minute changed

the strategy and want to pressure china in the mall so i think the chinese media will especially as social media has been seen as kind of greedy and the crazy and unpredictable so that's the case with them play a round the chinese government a favor and of course china will suffer because that deal could not be reached at this point but also they believe that the u.s. will suffer to u.s. consumers or suffer and the u.s. business community and the war street also well so that the chinese view and the increasingly they critical of the u.s. they don't want to be seen as too solved in this negotiation table right so what do they say the united states has done in what way has the i said states or go back on its own its word in these negotiations. well again they certainly first of blame presidents then also brame that the entire atmosphere it wanted to really put the

chinese record up because most of people in china believe that the trade issue is a is less important on the security and also dishonest technology issues but the u.s. now increased the critical and very tough they want to adopt a policy called the company which basically cut off in technology or science exchanges with china and also more pressure on the educational cultural exchanges so this all had to be seen as a contaminant against china so trade. negotiations are also part of the os tragedy based on chinese of you also i think it's a little bit overstated but this is the perception going on in china right so when the united states says to china it's not fair it's not fair that you refuse to allow foreign companies to enter chinese markets unless they partner with chinese companies or force them to share their technology or fail to protect intellectual property and allow companies to steal foreign technology without facing any

punishment when america makes these accusations what is the chinese response. most the chinese think that the united states that have the general point of two to address these issues and also chinese government admitted that china probably should change and this should come from. compromise in these areas and also make a point is that china's vital interest to improve intellectual property rights market excess and they announced just the two months ago that the so called the following investment wanted to have their good treatment at national treatment for foreign companies and also chinese private entrepreneurs also now improve the investment environment in china so china think it's underway and that china does not have can i have some problems but they think that the u.s. ask too much and i also do not know what the really us want really it's just that

the answer is so maybe in negotiations with china one hears from the chinese and as when one hears from the governments we will move on this and then the world waits for action but no action follows so if china has acknowledged this is a problem why could not just change it tomorrow. well they they believe that again rightly or wrongly china is changing china is to create a more conducive environment and also they realize that the previous a few years that the same policies and really cause some legitimate the warre or criticism so is in no longer talk about the so-called amazing china twenty twenty five and so because if you look at the negotiation items the u.s. has a long list of demands and china has a relatively very short of requests so but at the same time china you think it does them some issues here is china cannot to change and not for

a change such as china's own technology development and also china as a state owned enterprises and certain things but of course this should go back to goshen table but at the moment of both countries and the political environment it's very critical of each other. there's a huge trade imbalance between the two countries president has more than doubled the tires on chinese imports yes what effect is that going to have on china. well certainly as a nation china will suffer more that's obvious chinese. acknowledges some of the challenges that elitist years of the risk and the pressures but they're not and. the issues that it's not just a one way street they believe it should trade should be willing and the space competitive advantage so therefore they think that the u.s.

pressure on china isn't going to be the way that it hurts china you know sylvia way plus the concern about the strategic or security issues such as the taiwan and and the cyber man of course us are also becoming clear critical of china's behavior since i was china sea and the cyber attack an exception so both sides had the different complete different perspective now so you know way that donald trump is right he should be should not be hurry because there's still mesnick audience also look at how much he wanted to compromise it was china but on the other hand if that you know is a sign should be sustained it will not hijack it by some as up events or incidents so therefore i think that kind of full way to fall while it may not be bad for both countries but the point is that the dow global economy will be affected the rug stock market will effect it i hope with this kind of game we're not that go on for too long. china does seem to be fighting on

a lot of fronts at the moment you mentioned some of them disputes over the south china sea there's also a push back on this debt trap financing of its bells and road initiative as well as fears over who are away it and those of course there's this massive fear of skepticism about its economic and military expansion how much will this push back and skepticism has been sort of figured into the made in china twenty twenty five initiative that you that you mentioned in passing that. well my point i'm a bit of asia is china would do some adjustment for the over all they have completed perspectives this think is this is the scenes to excuse a no excuse from the us who want to contain china want to form a coalition against a china i think that the from their perspective china's build a road initiative it's not that you intended it's not what the western countries describe and i think they also argue it's a well come in south america in africa in middle east and to further extent by some

western countries of the e.u. countries so that's their mindset i do not want to favor assessment of whether they have to the general reason or not but that's the that gap between two perspectives it's very interesting talking to thank you so much chang live from the john china sent thank you. recall a milestone for the by killing industry has launched its long awaited i hear a listing shares for the first time in its history they were priced at forty five dollars each lower than expected but still raised. about said investors are asking themselves whether the right holding firm ever be profitable given that it ever posted losses in its ten year existence and of course it's proved divisive around the world. it seems controversy has constantly tell

gaited since the company was founded ten years ago the disruptive startup has put taxi drivers around the world in terror of losing their livelihoods leading to protests in the u.k. spain and poland where last month parliament elected a bill to legalize the ride hailing upstart and other based car hire firms and if they fit in chief we feel we discriminated against we have to get licenses pay pension contributions we have to set up a company to work and we have other costs in contrast the illegal carriers have low costs they're often people convicted by the courts seventy five percent of them without polish citizenship they work illegally and the government does nothing about it. has faced legal challenges from drivers demanding basic labor conditions it's been banned in several countries including denmark and hungary in

twenty sixteen hackers attacked it was cloud server and downloaded millions of users personal data a year later its c.e.o. travis calendaric was forced to step down after a series of scandals there was a fatal accident involving one of the driving cars and there have been numerous rape and sexual assault allegations against uber drivers from india to america more than one hundred in the u.s. alone the company has also been criticized as having a culture of sexual harassment. then there's the balance sheet over the twelve months to the end of march losses of three point seven billion dollars a record for a company in the year ahead of its i.p.o. . but despite wall street's excitement has had a decidedly bumpy ride on main street and the same way good drivers went on strike over working conditions and who studies putting a dent in one of the central plains reporter william. has. the story welcome

so what does it tell us about the study of what it found right well of course one of other similar companies claims are that you don't need a private car if you use us you can just jump in our car will take you where you need to go and that would therefore lower congestion so some experts of the university of kentucky were interested in seeing if this is actually true they look at san francisco one of the most congested cities in the united states and they found that actually has contributed over and lift has contributed the most to congestion in that city over the years from two thousand and ten two thousand six hundred sixty more than sixty percent more congestion and most of that contributed by hoover and lift cars but there would be congestion in that city regardless of who burned lift which tells us both goober and lift ride sharing apps and private traffic were both increased in this time period ok so this study looked at. home but presumably the problem doesn't then the right brace for this five point

seven billion that's the number of extra miles that goober and lift cars have contributed to nine of america's most densely populated cities over the years two thousand and ten to two thousand and sixteen people who are driving who would not otherwise have to correct these are people who would say they might be taking they would be biking they'd be walking they were doing using other kinds of transport if not for uber and lift and private traffic is also going up in those same cities more than six hundred thousand new cars add to the roads private cars added to the roads in the same time that uber left are getting popular in the city so the claim that uber lift cancel out private car traffic is is rather disputed here ok so what then is the problem with choosing a new another kind of tangible well the burden of all these extra cars whether private or and live on cities on city infrastructure on roads and of course on climate is huge and it's not shared equally there's a massive income disparity between people who. people who might use public transit

looking again at these cities people who earn more than two hundred thousand dollars a year so this is the top one percent of america they tend to use goober a lot more than lower income people this is what you'd expect surely right this is nothing new people who have more money will use private private transportation use more comfortable ways of getting around but who are enough has made it so easy and so ubiquitous to access this kind of private more comfortable transit that it's reinforced this habit of of putting more money more focus into private travel rather than public infrastructure which people of lower income needs need to get around to get to their jobs which then takes money takes it takes resources and takes political will away from public transit into private modes of transportation like this ok you press me that thank you for coming with blue cross we'll see in the next two britain. are german turkish journalist identities huge old claims he was tortured at

a high security turkish prison giving evidence to a court in berlin he said that he was kicked and beaten when he spent a year behind the house without being formally charged his detention triggered a diplomatic crisis between germany and turkey a correspondent for german newspaper de felt was the usual says he was abused to join in the first three days of his detention in turkey they physically beat me by kicking my feet and beating my chest and back even though there were observe ation cameras in the hallways there was no one inside the prison cells the amount of violence used against me was low level it wasn't about inflicting physical pain they want to do humiliate and intimidate me maybe they also wanted to entice me to react but either way this was definitely a case of torture is good movement political correspondent max million on the coasts it welcomed maximally on why it was done he says usual in

a german courtroom today. well the reason why the german turkish journalist then is your jail was in a german courtroom today was not because he was held trial in germany but because he was currently on trial in turkey and he was in prison held in prison in turkey until two thousand and eighteen was then allowed to leave the country after a lot of diplomatic efforts and but his trial in turkey is continuing and so he was giving his statement in the ongoing trial against him that is happening in turkey in germany for his own safety today and germany's opposition is calling for action to be taken in response to these allegations what sort of the spawns should be expect from the german government so we've had a response all through the posses especially from the left side of the opposition parties one member of our selves turkish or agents has been urging the foreign ministry to summon the turkish ambassador to berlin and talk about these severe

accusation that that is just been brought forward in court today and we have also heard from government posse members for example. spokesperson of the parliamentary committee on foreign relations who has been saying that these allegations have been deeply troubling. bilateral relations between turkey and germany were already tense this clearly this is don't go to help masses. now it's lost because on the one of the claims or the demands it has been made by parliamentary members today was that germany should urge the european union to stop the accession talks that it currently has still perform on going on with turkey though what has to be said is that these accession talks for turkey to potentially at one point to become a member of the european union have been already symbolically been put on hold by the european parliament now the european parliament itself couldn't stop this process per se but it held a vote earlier this year where it said it wants to symbolically stop these

accession talks the question is these of course allegations that are currently only referring to german. citizens who are held in turkish prisons as for example ten is a gels but there also are this and the question is how many european member states in such a case would go behind germany and support this mess many uncurse it should thank you. to know because in venezuela sort of refuge inside foreign embassies as the government widens its crackdown on allies the opposition leader on a quite though it comes a day after or thought as the rest of the vice president of the opposition controlled national assembly the rest support revealed pressure on uprising last week failed to oust the president because majority. for supporters of one quiet though the aftermath of last week's coup attempt is proving dangerous stripped of their immunity by the supreme court richard blanco of the brave people's alliance

tell you it's against as is they've done with the deputies with edits and with all those they want to take prisoners on it but i thought. quantock wydow said some follows arrest is part of a government intimidation campaign. what it nobody got i mean that i would use what is the only tool they have used because it was you know. terribly well the state terrorism to be clear. because that's what they were doing and sitting terror among the people when he said what they're going to do is you know i don't know why though has called for fresh protests on saturday but with his uprising flagging zambrano as a rest could demoralize the opposition and enfold and president nicolas maduro and his loyalists. now to paris which may be wealthy and shaky. but like many other cities it has a homelessness problem one of the city's homeless is started using social media to draw attention to the sorts of conditions rough sleepers have to deal with and he soon collected more than thirty thousand followers on twitter and got the ear of

city or thorpe says that was the start of his fight for better living conditions for paris's homeless. christian posh knows what it means to lead an insecure unstructured life he spent over three years hanging out with this group of homeless people at the plus sun mart in paris he used to have a well paying job as a sawmill year but after his wife left him he developed a drinking problem and when he could no longer pay the rent he ended up on the streets and. this is one of the places i slept in but a few weeks later they installed these typically anti homeless barriers in their place deliberately so no one can bed down here. and the homeless barriers have popped up all over paris some in places where people sleep due to warm air from the metro christian reacts to them by tweeting with results. the city of paris had put in iron rods to prevent

access you can still see the traces. they would have stopped people from being able to sleep there in winter when it's cold. i posted it on twitter and the next day the authorities removed the iron rods. if one is a good. christian began tweeting three years ago after his possessions were soaked by street cleaners in winter he wrote this is how the homeless are treated in paris within a few months he had over thirty thousand followers. in the morning to say hello to the planet and at night to talk about what was going on on the streets. i take a picture of my sleeping bag and say good night guys and go to bed. and people would answer good night see you tomorrow what i thought that was cool.

people who live on the streets often feel like pariahs but christian potch has given them a voice and his activism has spread beyond paris people now send in pictures of barriers elsewhere in france. this one's in front of an. in now born in the country south. true that the social media have a certain power that can be negative for big brands. we'll see in the next few days that evil will certainly get rid of those barriers. and politically christian is glad that his tweets can change things for the better. his own situation has also improved his no longer living on the streets but has found accommodation with a christian aid organization. good luck to well best day is almost done by the conversation continues online you can
