goods in response to washington doubling its targets on china to use officials warn the trade dispute is hurting both sides the backlash hollywood legend doris day has died she was 97 from the letter from a culture expert for joining the studio to talk about her and some of the most iconic moments of her career. hello i'm on the thought she welcomed you dons at the center for growing rift between the u.s. and its european allies at a meeting in brussels today e.u. powers urged washington's top diplomat not to escalate tensions retired on with britain going so far as to warn the us of accidentally triggering a conflict in an unstable region but this comes as the e.u. foreign ministers were meeting to discuss ways to salvage their nuclear deal with
6:02 pm
the horizon. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei all made a last minute visit to brussels to meet with his british french and german counterparts they are still signatories to the iran nuclear deal which the u.s. pulled out of one year ago much to the chagrin of its allies. we continue to fully support the nuclear deal with it on its full implementation the u.s. withdrawal from the deal has drawn criticism from the e.u. china and russia the deal was designed to keep iran from acquiring nuclear weapons in return iran would see sanctions lifted now the iranian government has said it will suspend some of its commitments to the deal tehran has so far not been willing to meet with the u.s. on monday afternoon pompeo met with german foreign minister heiko mass just. as we have a different understanding at the new could a deal to chair the same goal of keeping iran from getting nuclear weapons. and we
6:03 pm
need to address the new role of iran in the region. at the moment i don't see any better or other suggestions for a better deal i think it's wise to stick to the one we. must 100. a deal he hopes will keep tensions from escalating. now for more on this story i'm joined by political analyst of the father learn new job he's with the brookings doha center welcome to you know the u.s. and the e.u. on opposite ends of this is iran nuclear deal what is my combi you doing in busses well i mean the 2 sides have been parting ways in terms of iran policy for at least a year now but now with the recent you know signs of escalation over the past few weeks i think there is a growing concern among european policymakers about a potential escalation between the u.s. allied juran and allied forces in that region so i think would separate pump can do
6:04 pm
is to reify trade the point that he made earlier that the u.s. is not after a military conflict in the region so i think this would be an important message that he could send to the europeans now you shant bhatia to do from the nuclear deal last rican some and to see this is a carefully calibrated response by iran in reaction to the washington end does actually bitting the e.u. against washington and sanctions and lifting sanctions on iran can the new kid in this context be salvaged well it's very difficult because so in 60 days iran will restart its. enrichment 20 percent and if this happens we're going to see a resurgence of the iran nuclear crisis and this will be very troublesome for europe because in such a context it will be very difficult to continue the kind of diplomatic and political support is a view to iran but the europeans can do something within the next $660.00 days
6:05 pm
which is to really try to import iranian oil within a bottle kind of mechanism so to import iranian oil but you know but to say you know goods to iran that that are needed by the population at the same time tensions . a growing in the bush and of saudi arabia says its oil tanker attack calling this a criminal act and a threat to navigation international security the united arab emirates is focal mushers best is a hit by unspecified attacks near the port city of joy the off its eastern coast on the saudi energy minister says 2 of the kingdom's oil tanker as well among the targets and these alleged incidents come as the u.s. warned that iran always struck things could be targeting maritime traffic in the region iran has scored for an investigation to find out who is responsive but. before that on the job what do you make of this incident well we don't have the
6:06 pm
full story yet but it is interesting to see that this t.v. station that is iranian financed has been reporting about this incident you know quite early on before it became you know international news and i think the larger picture is that both in the united states as well as in iran there are hard line elements would be interested in some kind of a military confrontation but it doesn't mean that at the same time we're seeing with the super interesting and important over the past few weeks is that there is from both sides also some kind of outreach signals that there are willing to talk to the other side which is also quite new so i think what is happening right now is that both sides are poking. you know 22000000 they're standing in any future negotiations so you see this is a form of political brinkmanship but we've had the german foreign minister who was in brussels as well for these talks of the e.u. talk about being pretty wide about these developments seen and escalation of
6:07 pm
tensions in the region and one of the indications well i think i mean there is you know concern among european policymakers in some quarters you see a lot of alarmism i think you know it remains the fact that both sides u.s. and iran. have a lot to lose when they engage in a large scale military confrontation right before that on a jet from the brookings doha center thank you very much for the analysis thank you . now let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world swedish prosecutors say they will reopen a rape case against wiki leaks founder julian assange and they will seek his extradition from the u.k. astonished refuge at the ecuadorian embassy in london 70 years ago to avoid extradition the probe was dropped in 2017 after the statue of limitations expired he has denied the allegations. in syria thousands of families are fleeing off to
6:08 pm
airstrikes hit across rebel on claves and it live in hamas' provinces syrian government forces began advancing on the region late last month human rights observers say more than 300 people have been killed in the offensive. german police have found 2 more bodies during investigations of the deaths of 3 people shot with cross boats now the weekend hotel staff in southern germany discovered the man and 2 women today mr gately said 2 female corpses have been found in northern germany at the flat of one of the women found in the hotel. china has announced it will increase import tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of incoming u.s. goods as a response to new american targets and chinese goods the decision raises duties on a list of products that were already affected but earlier retaliatory tariffs american liquefied natural gas an airplane parts are among some of the exports
6:09 pm
targeted the new town of school into effect on june the fust leaving time for both nations to work out a trade deal. and for more on this story i'm joined by stephen beardsley from business desk welcome steve into how to what extent will these counted out of the u.s. and the global economy well if you look right now at how markets are responding you can see that both sides of the equation are suffering the renminbi which is the chinese currency has suffered its biggest one day last since august and you can see in the in the states you can see the wall street major indexes down the nasdaq are both down significantly those that are suffering especially exporters like boeing like caterpillar which makes heavy equipment also tech stocks you're facebook's apples and then chip makers who stand to suffer also from major export tariffs you know what's interesting here is that china can't really match the u.s. dollar for dollar on these tariffs the u.s. can always put more tariffs on more dollars worth of goods but the chinese can
6:10 pm
still hurt them and this is also a further sign that this thing isn't solved and of course the big fear is that you get into a trade war which then sort of circulates wider and wider than just the 2 countries except you will risk all of this a trade dispute but do these did for tat kind of tad's mean that we're heading towards the trade will only think of a trade what we think of is that tit for tat we're going back and forth and then other players really have to chime in because they stand to lose as well so if the flow of goods are directed elsewhere into the e.u. for example then maybe countries are putting up their own trade barriers to protect their own industries they say you know all these exports which were heading to the u.s. are now redirected we have to protect our own industries and so you see sort of all these trade barriers start to rise and that's the big fear in the trade war and obviously going back and forth not really being able to work out a deal raises the possibility that it can just be taken too far and even if there is a deal believed to be at the heart of this somewhere then it becomes more of an issue
6:11 pm
of saving face and that both sides can't really do that and then instead they're just going to for tougher ever so where do you see this going well we don't know the u.s. says it's actually preparing more tariffs. on another $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beginning today it's going to make a list public of what it might target of course would be another escalation of this we also know there's no further dates for trade talks that's not a good sign so the 2 things are going to be watching are there going to be further tariffs and are there going to be further talks to actually resume this what's interesting is that both sides have built in a little bit of time as you just mentioned a moment ago june 1st on the chinese side also on the u.s. side there's going to be a few more weeks before those tariffs take place so they're both built in some time to hopefully try and resolve this thing and markets will of course be watching very very closely including hugh stephen. from this is this i think you very much for your investment. you're watching the news coming up ahead it's a little known chapter in the history of nazi germany

6:17 pm
