countermeasures but mr trump says there's no rush to strike a deal. and the u.s. and chinese delegations part ways. talks in washington and that were about agreement after president trumpet upped the ante in an escalating dispute over trade. was bullish on a favorable outcome no need to rush he tweeted after slapping a twenty five percent tariff on a further two and a billion dollars on imports a total of two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods and i was subject to the tariff the levy is a shop hike from the previous ten percent import tax so a heavy blow for china's export oriented economy beijing is alarmed and called for a compromise. we hope the u.s. and china can meet halfway and respect the legitimate interests of both sides the. chinese vice premier you know he and u.s. treasury secretary steve newton at the negotiation teams. the u.s.

is concerned about a balloon in trade deficit and accuses china of blocking access to its markets it is not clear when the two parties will meet again trying to twitter despite worries about a looming trade war the income from levies on chinese goods will be used to prop up ending sectors of the economy he promised. from d.w. business correspondent. and washington. welcome both sides are you oliver today's talks ended not long after they began what happened. well those were really brief talks in fact that's right it did not come as a surprise though if you take into consideration that the talks were actually stalled a week ago already in negotiators were not very optimistic when they went into the talks this morning they then went on to the wide halls including the secretary of

treasury the new show and to discuss the outcome with u.s. president donald trump who by the way makes a very content impression that he's been tweeting all morning long he says essentially that terrorism good for the u.s. economy and he also continuously tweeted and stress the chinese would be paying for the terror of eventually economists however are challenging that they believe that the american businesses that would have to pay the bill in the end of the day and that they would also give the pass that on to the consumers when for instance consumer electronics would become more expensive that said all goods that are currently in transit say that they have left the chinese coast on a container ship for instance and that would take three to four weeks to arrive in america these goods are excluded and that gives the negotiators a certain timeframe again to renegotiate should they get together within that timeframe ok so general to do with china says it will respond to what's the

response likely to look like you know it hasn't said and there are a few things china could do but they all come with a cost now it could for example extend the tariffs it already has on china on u.s. products or return barriers that it had already earlier reversed say like on u.s. auto imports the problem is that china exports more than the u.s. does and it would very quickly run out of you x. u.s. products to impose tariffs on if it includes semiconductors and boeing planes alternative suppliers for those things would also be in a position to raise prices dramatically so be beijing could lose out on that and. what it could also do is devalue its currency to make its exports cheaper but that's unlikely to go over well domestically again alternatively it could also respond with the boycott of american goods the problem is a lot of chinese workers do work in the assembly and manufacture of american goods like i phone so that could backfire as well so it's wide open what china could do

at this particular moment but you have quite a few analysts saying that from an economic standpoint to and from with a perspective that what they actually want to do is achieve a deal the most prudent thing to do would be nothing now this would all be see how already occurred to chinese policymakers but they're also under political pressure to act so we're just going to have to see which side wins that that argument because all of a solid just bounces through the main sticking points although. so reportedly there is a debate going on in the chinese communist party about within reformers and and hardliners about the question how to move on here and that led to a very late decision of the chinese president xi jinping over the question how to tackle the ongoing debate the key sticking points here are the protection of intellectual property in america and one of course and also certain laws restraining american businesses and eventually the clash eruptive them over the

question which hard of the final agreement should be made public essentially the chinese side does not want to publicly admit that its electoral property laws are flawed because that would also mean that they would look as the losers of this of this trade agreement all of a summit in washington. to do business thank you both. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world united nations says record numbers of despair of people are being displaced within their homelands by war and violence over forty one million last year far in excess of the numbers who flee to other countries syria colombia and somalia are among the top ten for people displaced internally. the ruling african national congress is heading for victory in south africa's election despite getting its lowest ever share of the vote counting almost complete the a.n.c.

has fifty seven percent the worst performance for twenty five years isn't cyril ramaphosa good place to scandal hit jacob zuma last year. has been another tragedy involving migrants from africa in the mediterranean sea as many as seventy people are feared to have drowned when their boat sank near the coast of tunisia one of the worst such incidents this year each unison defense ministry says the boat had set sail from libya and was heading for italy the u.n. says that fewer people are making the journey to europe these days but that the voyage is are becoming deadlier we have this report on another group of migrants pulled from the mediterranean. risk youth from a sinking ship. an italian boat. run by a humanitarian charity save them forty kilometers off the libyan coast. the thirty migrants including two pregnant women of five children according to the ngo are

just a few of the thousands of people who have already attempted to cross the mediterranean this year. according to italy's anti migration deputy prime minister. italy's ports are closed to illegal migrants but these people landing in lampedusa cicely a lucky italy's prime minister giuseppe consummate allowed the ship to dock tomorrow john you know stuff applaud the migrants but this might have been its last mission. i've spoken to sell vini about them our journey and we agree on the police seizing the ship. the ship was already on a warning. this ship is one of the very few rescue ships still in operation in the mediterranean context said other european union member states had agreed to take some of these people a sign that the e.u.'s migrant distribution agreements are working on an ad hoc basis although far fewer people are headed to europe than at the peak of migration in two thousand and fifteen thousand still take the perilous journey every month

and a summer brings better weather conditions the number of attempted crossings is likely to increase. with a criss cross member of sea watch one of the aid organizations providing migrant boats in distress with humanitarian assistance at sea welcome to data you know that you've been on a number of these rescue missions but now that another of these boats has been seen used the other you actually left out that well the. rescue boat has been seized before and has been for it before actually at the moment there are three. ships left in the mediterranean one of which. again the last time this lasted for a week so we will see how long this notice because usually the vega liberations of irregularities onboard never prove. founded on anything. they bring you in on a what you would say was a trumped up charge and then they are actually properly investigated and then

you're allowed to go on your way you get your ship back just totally actually the sea was three hours ship from sea watch has just been freed by a court in the netherlands who decided on who ruled that the netherlands blocking our ships from leaving port did this not on a legal basis and so our ship is now being prepared to go back and mission after being left for one month and how do these missions work do you just sort of sail around waiting for something to happen or do you sort of see things going on and then go and investigate well today i. sadly the rescue coordination center is in multan in italy they don't cooperate with us anymore so you've got these a government a coast guard unit organization. usually you would coordinate search and rescue efforts. so today. we go to the internationally agreed search and rescue zone which is a strip off the coast of libya in international waters where we look for these boats

we see which we have also two planes in operation who are actually scanning the operation area and then we try and go and rescue as many people as we can because now it is getting somewhere and as we see a lot of people are leaving libya there is a cost that clearly europe has it has its self in a mess over its migration policy its policy is to try to reduce the number. the numbers of folding the cost that was counted in terms of human lives it could be argued that the policy is working well the policy is built on graves that policy is making the mediterranean sea a bit huge graveyard. there are several reasons the people who trade in people going out to see that all the people who put them these people in the boat the problem is the people are in libya other people are stuck in libya lots of people are stuck in libya a lot of people are stuck in detention centers an illegitimate detention in torture in slavery. they have to leave this country the civil war is raging again more than

in the last ones people are being shot in these migrant detention centers we've seen all this in the last couple of weeks the people need to leave that and the only way to leave libya at the moment is through the sea because these are desperate chris krzycki from as they watch thank you thank you very much. sports on the football sunday sees one of the most exciting races for the english premier league title the rights to the final round reigning champions manchester city just one point ahead of the liverpool who are looking to end a twenty nine year drought for an english league title they were seven points ahead of city in january before the defending champions clo their way back. manchester city hope to do what hasn't been done since two thousand and nine to retain the premier league title they are in pole position with ninety five points one a head of liverpool. team buckle under the pressure in their match against brighton
