post. this is the day of your news live from berlin president trump's top diplomat is in the german capital at this hour for talks on tough issues secretary of state mike pompei on chancellor on the macro have stressed that they have the same values but they agree on a little beyond that from iran and china to ukraine in trade the 2 have a tough time finding common ground also on the show. on greece prime minister promising a thorough probe of a fatal boat collision on the danube with 7 confirmed dead $21.00 still missing

almost all south koreans a delegation from seoul is demanding answers. and he's cigarettes have been held to a safer substitute for cigarettes but what are the real risks of a pit. alone welcome to the show i'm brian thomas u.s. secretary of state might pompei always been meeting with chancellor on a macro for high level talks here in poland his visit comes 3 weeks after he called all flying to germany at the very last moment differences in policy over iran and china are high on the agenda. our chief political editor michelle acuff nurses down at the chancellor's office where pompei was meeting with all of the machall right now but earlier he was with secretary secretary of state was with the

german foreign minister heiko moscow michelle what came out of those discussions earlier today. well quite clearly there are some serious fault lines in those key issues of iran and how to deal with china over iran of course the rhetoric in the region heating up both sides have the same aim they want to stop iran from actually achieving a nuclear weapon further weaponize in that particular region and there was a clear message from the u.s. that they certainly won't change their course which is sanctions and stepping up the rhetoric whereas the europeans and the germans would have preferred a continuation of the so-called iran nuclear deal that doesn't look like it will really survive and be able to contain that particular conflict and if you look behind me there's already a chinese flag up because the chinese vice president wanky challenge is expected here he came in short succession of mike pompei oh so that u.s.

flag went down the chinese flag went up germany of course being more open for a dialogue with china with the u.s. currently being held in a potential standoff that could lead to a much feared trade war so both sides under mccall said the u.s. secretary pompei or and himself wanted to approach those issues in a spirit of partnership they keep stressing common values but they certainly don't have a common line on those key issues right now the short term the chance for thanks very much for that for now michel. well the u.s. secretary of state has also been talking about trade with his german host centering especially on the 5 g. network provider wall way as we've heard there devious clifford tune in from the business desk has more on that clifford good morning to you today rather the u.s. is adamant that china's walk away products are a threat to its national security it's threatening consequences or any other

countries including its partners or do business with while way is germany willing to go down that road well it looks like germany isn't that germany is very keen to this is a national issue germany wants the 5 g. technology to provide so it looks like they're prepared to stand their ground on this issue but at the same time they're trying to keep relations smooth with america so it's a very delicate balancing act at the moment i think for the german government ok and one that is being discussed right now no doubt with the with the chancellor and peo what about germany in terms of the larger the broader picture of tariffs from both sides between the u.s. and china what is germany doing right now to better prove relations between those 2 countries are they trying anything and where are they lining up are they more pro china or pro united states in this battle this is a very difficult position for germany because german firms are doing very very well in china and the german economy is quite reliant on on aspects of the of the china

business and at the same time germany needs to keep donald trump's government onside so it is trying it is sort of in the middle very much it's also worried that it may be tariffs imposed on itself so it's a very delicate balancing act and i think that there she has said this week that she's in favor of of global trade and of more global trade and increasing global trade so i think she's taking an protectionist stance ok and we heard that also at harvard we're going to talk a lot more about terrorism in just a moment tariffs on a close u.s. regional partner mexico have been. announced president tom says he slapping a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming into the u.s. from mexico now the president says those tariffs will increase until it's clear that mexico is doing more to prevent migrants from crossing the southern border illegally a national emergency has been in place at that border since february in the tariffs come as the trade talks with mexico continue. to years after

negotiations for a new nafta began everything seem to be working just fine. today we will send the relevant information so that the senate of the republic can ratify the free trade agreement with the united states and canada you can either. then an unexpected shot fired from washington u.s. president trump tweeting about a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming into our country from mexico trump threatens to credibly increase tariffs until the illegal immigration problem is remedied their reaction in mexico shock it's. exactly and i just read that right out there i just read it as something to sastre us because that threats taken into action would be very grave very serious extremely serious. at the same time it's no secret to anyone that president trump is very active in

his use of tweets. but mexico can hardly afford to ignore the threat the u.s. as its most important trading partner trade between the neighbors what's worth 670000000000 dollars last year. also crossing the border so-called illegal immigrants as seen in this video from the u.s. customs and border patrol recorded in el paso the migrants most of whom are from one douras what tamala and el salvador crossing through mexico trump says the government there is not doing enough to stop the flow of people and to be instead passively cooperating. clifford present from also saying that 5 percent is just the beginning that they could be increasing the tariffs when when will they be starting well july 1 is the day that he mentions there's still some

confusion a little bit about how this will roll out because other members of his administration senior members of the administration are actually engaged in trying to sign a trade deal with mexico so very much works against that so we have to wait and see how the details work out but they could go as high as 25 percent and that would have a very serious impact on the economic relations between the 2 countries you know what sectors would it would they be hitting would it be mexican manufacturing you know the supplies coming in for a number of american manufacturers using supplies from mexico cultural products what would be hit well i think what we're seeing here is basically an attack on the supply chain similar in to what happened in china in a way that you have a low cost manufacturing base which is selling a lot into america and he's introducing tariffs there so i think it's going to be a hit the supply chain particular things like auto parts ok we're already seeing speaking of auto parts a big knock on effect here in germany a lot of car makers v.w. for example make auto parts in mexico and shares on german car shares on the dax

are down what 4 percent today yeah they've been really hit today and i think the. overall dax is down nearly 2 percent v.w. dime lower and b.m.w. all have big manufacturing facilities there i think in 2017. i put was a buy 50 percent it's they're doing really really well so this is a big hit for them it's very important for their overall american strategy ok so there's a knock on effect from the mexican tariffs on european car makers very important point they're clever thanks very much for coming on clifford to and from the business this. on thursday chancellor merkel delivered the commencement address we're talking about it already university in boston heard vice the graduating class there was laced with indirect criticism of american domestic and foreign policies to add their own walts of ignorance and narrow mindedness on that one thing has to stay as it is. it was one of several standing ovations for the german chancellor

during hurricane and speech she ended and began an english highly unusual for an american at such a major event. then gets off if we step out and embrace new beginnings everything is possible. so the normally cautious pragmatic politician this was a far reaching to do list she spoke of halting global warming eradicating starvation eliminating diseases giving people especially girls access to education and fighting the causes of displacement and forced migration and forced migration that's how we can do all of that. the harvard commencement speech is by tradition inspirational setting the bar high for graduating students merkle edge the not to act impulsively but to take a moment to stop and think during laughter as well as applause. more than one

sniper team to conjure up donald trump without mention of his name. that's that means not calling lies truth or truth lines. the chancellor's mixture of the political and the aspirational seem to resonate with the graduating students. before me the main message is about believing that's wallace can be broken and for me i think wallace is sort of a metaphor for anything it could be sort of your own close mindedness or your own servant violence too high. you see the issues of the war whether you know whether or not you think they could be solved i think the speech was very well done and not received and i think that she's struck a balance between inspiring the graduates to make change in the world and also sending a political message. america has made it clear this is her last term miss chancellor

and his speech was a nod to the legacy she hopes to leave behind especially a firm commitment to strong transatlantic times. check out now some of the other stories making the news this hour heads of government from the arab league have gathered in mecca for what they're calling an emergency summit on that meeting was opened by king solomon of saudi arabia rahm's regional arrival. he asked the international community to confront iran and stop what he described as its threatening policies and interference. 1000 year old palestinian man has been shot dead by police after stabbing and wounding 2 israelis in east jerusalem old city that area has been the scene of numerous stabbings in the past few years security has been stepped up across true islam during the muslim holy fasting month of ramadan. a dutch birdwatcher who has been held by islamic state like nortons of the philippines since 2012 has been killed the

on cigarette packages advertising bans and bacco taxes which can be very high have discovered discourage people from smoking now some have instead turned to ease cigarettes but as we hear our next report isa grants can also cause health problems . strawberry is among the most popular flavors for a cigarette smokers or vapors these melon. there's a huge range to choose from a cigarettes are claimed to contain fewer harmful substances for users than conventional tobacco varieties the liquids which generally have added nicotine and aroma are only heated and not burned the image is a healthier alternative is likely a major factor in east cigarettes becoming increasingly popular among young people but the reality behind the image is not that simple liquids such as the jewel brand smoked by many teenagers in the u.s.

contain over twice the amount of nicotine permitted in the u. as a result one in 5 high school students are now already addicted at the end of last year the us health authorities declared the rapid rise in rates of youths using these products to be nothing short of an epidemic. we have never seen use of any substance and by america's young people rise this rapidly this is an unprecedented challenge we're at risk of a huge share of a whole generation developing an addiction to nicotine and that is not a future anyone wants for our country. but tobacco companies are busy expanding into what they see as a lucrative new business philip morris a since acquired a 35 percent stake in jewel mall british american tobacco owns the high end smoked chain of 8 stores. while sales in conventional cigarettes are falling in europe in the us to buckle remains hugely popular in emerging and developing nations.

despite the rising demand for liquids the tobacco industry still earns over 90 percent of its turnover from conventional cigarettes. last year their manufacturers made $700000000000.00 worldwide with them the industry even expects that figure to increase. it's a thriving business for the corporations but for consumers it could mean dependency on long term health risks whether they smoke the conventional or electronic variety of cigarette. we have some sports for you now and for the 2nd straight season liverpool have reached the champions league final you're going in were defeated by the all madrid last year now is no stranger to losing finals he's been runner up in his last 6. club has been embraced by more than just liverpool the entire footballing world seems to love this guy but there's been a dark cloud hovering over the current liverpool coach's head for years now

a streak of 6 trate final defeats has kept his trophy cabinet empty when it comes to the biggest prizes. the not fully if you lose a final it's like taking medicine the taste disgusting. you know when i was a child i learned the good medicine has to taste bad but then it helps so when you look at a final as bad tasting medicine it can actually help and recharge you know that recharge must have work liverpool made some changes at the back since suffering defeat to reanimate during the last champions league expectations are high due to having back to back final appearances people don't always know about that the world out there expects from all of us that if we're in the finals that we win in my particular case we've tried so many times you expect to be even more. but that's ok i desperately wanted not for me before my players and this great club and it would

make me happy if we manage that with the most inkling but no other manager in europe has lost finals like clock the 201112 season he managed final success in germany but since then he nor liverpool have won anything will their next final in madrid be a new beginning. we have some basketball now on the toronto raptors are off to a very strong start in their 1st ever n.b.a. finals tronto defeated the 2 time defending champion golden state warriors 118-2109 at home in game one of the best of 7 series raptors forward pasqual see a calm but a dominant performance scoring 32 points after the game the cameroonian said he hopes his performance will inspire people in africa. think is amazing. is the growth in the continent ome. in as is. more not figure in general

but tricks like this are only possible after long training explains one of the camp managers. if you would like to let your children know english you should talk english to them things there where young same thing with a love if you would like to lead them obey you are lifted on you to teach them thing there were young. for centuries elephants in southeast asia we used for transport in the timber industry until logging was banned in the region 30 years ago. with thousands of captive elephants out of work their owners turn to tourism. elephant tourism is now a lucrative business but one that's lightly regulated. nina ortman brass is a biologist she advises camps on how to ensure that entertaining tourists isn't detrimental to elephant well being. good welfare can easily be done in

a writing camp if you provide the elephant with a enough food enough water enough rest and and otherwise free from discomfort also . the biologist is pleased with the camp's general conditions the elephants seem to be in good shape she says but she admits that she often runs into secrecy just like today when asked about the specific methods of training young elephants the camp veterinarian becomes rather tight lipped. and often cannot call brevis asked 0 s. and he called wherever he has. on the internet it's possible to find videos of a torturous ritual decided to break an elephant spirit the method has been used for centuries it's a brutal training process that can go on for weeks only when the elephant stops resisting is it released from its agony.

animal rights groups are calling for a boycott of elephant camps they convinced interactions like these are only possible once an elephant has been broken many western travel companies have stopped offering this kind of tourism but with growing numbers of chinese visitors business is thriving. brusk thinks an effective boycott would do more harm than good. if there is no revenue coming into the camp the elephant will still be here but it will just have very very poor condition. elephant tourism is sold as cute harmless fun but once you look at its clothes a darker picture starts to emerge. and we have more on that reported our website interview dot com now to the woman who is perhaps the most famous d.j. in warsaw maybe even the whole of poland she's been mixing music for the last 25
