thanks. this is deja vu news live from berlin the president trumps cop diplomats in the german capital for tough talks on a number of issues secretary of state mike from pale town strongly machall stressing they have the same values but agree a little beyond that common ground proving very elusive also coming out of. congress prime minister promises a complete investigation of the fatal boat collision on the danube 7 people are confirmed dead 21 still missing almost all south koreans a delegation from seoul is on and demanding answers. and ease cigarettes have been

hailed as a safer substitute for the tobacco version but what are the real risks of aids with . a very warm welcome to the show i'm brian thomas u.s. secretary of state might pump a 0 came to berlin today for talks with council on a machall and her foreign minister heiko moscow it was pomp ayos 1st visit to berlin since becoming secretary of state comes 3 weeks after he canceled a trip to germany at the last minute differences in policy over and china very high on the agenda since withdrawing from the. landmark nuclear deal with around the

u.s. has been odd at odds with the other nations involved including germany that have been trying to keep the around nuclear deal alive. for more on the story we're joined by dave used chief political correspondent melinda crane following it for us thanks for being here melinda my pump a.o. met earlier today with foreign minister heiko mass what came out of that meeting. lots of friendly words professions of the need to work together professions of recognition of how very important german american relations are for addressing major issues professions that both sides have the same goals when it comes to dealing with iran but also very clear indications that while their goals may be the same in many respects on iran their methods of trying to reach those goals remain very very divergent and i don't think we saw any clear agreement here

on how to move forward there had been some discussion before the meeting between the foreign minister and mike pump ale that the u.s. might be moving to sanction a mechanism that the europeans created a sensually to allow european companies to keep trading with iran hoping thereby to keep the iran nuclear deal alive my company has said that there won't be sanctions as long as the companies doing that trading are only selling humanitarian goods but that is actually not the full of the europeans they would like to see this mechanism be used broadly in order to deliver the kind of trade that iran is expecting if it stays with the deal so that's just one illustration of how far apart the side that these 2 sides do in fact still ok one very important illustration and just before he left for germany might bump arrows with the president trump was not entirely satisfied with the state of the relationship

between germany and the united states what it pompei will focus on here in berlin. well certainly those relations with iran very very difficult also relations with china particularly in regard to while away and 5 g. networks the german government like other european countries to countries has said so far that it's not convinced that the right method is simply to shut wildly out and therefore is still weighing different options that was again a discussion today but no promises were made an interesting lee enough as soon as the u.s. flag went down today after the meetings with chancellor merkel and foreign minister moussa the chinese flag was hosted because chinese state guests were expected and then the 3rd area very very difficult also the north stream gas pipeline bringing gas from russia to germany the u.s. has put on a lot of pressure about that as well mike pump here was asked today well would you

consider sanctioning companies involved in that project and he said we never talk about sanctions until we actually impose them in other words he didn't rule it out i think what we're seeing here and it goes back to the speech that the chancellor held yesterday in harvard we're seeing the clash of 2 completely different approaches to international relations and politics the chancellor on the one hand saying we need multilateralism we need collaboration and that means we need to be able to see things through the eyes of others whereas the u.s. strategy is very much 0 sum game maximum pressure and that includes maximum pressure on the u.s. his closest allies something we saw in berlin behind closed doors that i let it drain thank you very much for the. well as the u.s. secretary of state left the chinese flag went right up the talks with both of them having to do with war perhaps centering on the 5 g. network provider wall way for good and for the business desk is here to talk about that i clifford what about the timing of these 2 visits mike goes and the chinese

vice president arrives yeah well it's has to be significant doesn't it it's just the fact that you know there's no coincidence is all roads seem to lead to trade these days and it looks like that's what's what they're probably talking about and while way is kind of become the poster child for the trade war with china. is a huge issue for the americans and the chinese are going to be pushing their side of the argument too so definitely the timing is significant ok no my pump aoe today in berlin said there would be consequences for any country including partners that continue trading with or doing business with wall way and that would these consequences include sharing the u.s. sharing security data. is germany prepared to forgo that security data too to suffer the consequences of doing business with the way well it seems so far that it is germany's own intelligence services by advise the government against doing this but the government clearly sees that 5 g.

it's a competitive advantage it wants the 5 g. ways the company to provide us so it's prepared to take this chance really of souring relations with the u.s. to introduce the technology ok it's not just germany though that wants to deal with wall way there's other countries involved as well the netherlands for example that's right also britain is another come country where people were surprised about because britain and the u.s. relations are very tight particularly with bracks it coming they told that britain wouldn't go the way of huawei and it hasn't actually been confirmed yet but it looks that way. so european countries clearly see the need to to maintain good relations with china as well as get the great technology has to offer in this area ok so it's more is about more than. just walk away it's about the larger picture of trade with china yeah i think i think particular when you look at germany its reliance on china is so enormous with the big car companies and. chemical companies all these big firms in china they did it's a real big part of g.d.p.

so i think they need to keep the chinese on side ok well clifford u.s. tariffs on a close regional partner mexico have been announced as well president from saying he's slapping a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming into the u.s. from mexico the president says the towers will increase until it's clear that mexico is doing more to prevent margarines from crossing the southern border illegally a national emergency has been in place at the border since february and the tariffs camas trade talks with mexico continue. 2 years after negotiations for a new nafta began everything seem to be working just fine only 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. exactly and i just read that right out there i just read it as something to sastre us because that threat 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 was worth 670000000000 dollars last year. also crossing the border so-called illegal immigrants as seen in this video from u.s.

customs and border patrol recorded in el paso the migrants most of whom are from honduras guatemala 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 can you flesh this out for us what kind of impact will these tariffs have on mexico and when did this start. well obviously it's going to be a huge impact on mexico it's interesting because mexico in a way was kind of taking up some of the slack where china was going because they a lot of companies were looking at mexico as a way into america because after the shutdown in china with the tire of their so it's going to have a big impact and we'll see it will be over the next in coming weeks will become clearer house reaction vote ok so that closing the back door to imports from china that might have been one of the ideas in there to impose these tariffs along with of course the migration issue and now simply the announcement of these of these

tariffs they made themselves felt immediately on the dax i mean it was it was unbelievable the impact they had on the auto sector the auto industry as you know they went down about 4 percent that's right it was it was immediate and the carmakers are very exposed their folks who are going diameter and b.m.w. all have big they do a lot of manufacturing there for export to to north america b.m.w. is about to open a 1000000000 dollar plant there are in within coming weeks and it's the 1st plant in mexico so it's having a big impact on them because the time is is not good for them until ok so it's as we were talking earlier it's not just wall way it's not just you know the tech industry it's also the auto industry that that's involved in this and this is all wideout to effect yet the auto industry is playing a big role in all of these trade issues europe has been told that it has a year or it's a year now since europe was told that there will be no towers in the u.s.

but europe must be nervous about being introduced that could be the next step that he would go after the european auto industry so it's a fairly fraught time i think if you're a european auto company that concerned making itself felt on the backs today down 2 percent clifford thanks very much for coming in. was we heard earlier in the show from the lead when she was on machall delivered that commencement address at harvard she made a plea for global trade to remain as open as possible. to add to our own waltz of ignorance and narrow mindedness one thing has to stay as it is. it was one of several standing ovations for the german chancellor during hurricane speech she ended and began in english highly unusual for an american at such major events. then gets off if we step out and embrace new beginnings everything is possible. for 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 we can do all of that. the harvard commencement speech is by tradition inspirational setting the bar high for graduating students merkel urged them not to act impulsively but to take a moment to stop and think during laughter as well as applause. explore the months michael seem to conjure up donald trump without mention of his name. that's that means not calling a lie is truth or truth lines. except chancellors mixture of the political and the aspirational seemed 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 to how you see the issues of the world whether you know whether or not you think they could be solved i think the speech was very well done and well received and i think that she's struck a balance between inspiring the graduates to make change in the world and also as a. ending a political message. now cool has made it she is this is her last time this chancellor and his speech was a nod to the legacy she hopes to leave behind especially a firm commitment to strong transatlantic time. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour heads of government from the arab league have gathered in mecca for what they're calling an emergency summit on around the meeting was opened by king saul on a saudi arabia which is around regional rival. yes the international community to

confront tehran and stop what he called its threatening policies. so as militaries of the protest camp outside the defense ministry has become a threat to stability also word the closure of al-jazeera t.v. offices. all south korea says it will not give up hope in the desperate search for survivors after a fatal boat accident in hungary killed at least 7 of its citizens foreign minister tang has arrived in budapest to pay their respects to the victims and to get an update on the search and rescue operations on the danube 21 people are still missing. on the banks of the danube visitors and residents of budapest paid tribute to the victims of this tragedy. a 6 year old girl is among the missing . rescue work has been hampered by strong currents and high water levels making

diving attempts risky as hopes of finding survivors fade the search is increasingly turning into a recovery operation. the missing passengers are all south korean and soul has sent their own emergency tosk force to help local authorities. south korea's foreign minister has also arrived in budapest on friday she visited the site of the accident accompanied by her hungary and counterparts. can you walk called for budapest's full cooperation in determining the course of the accident the hungary and government has promised ounces. pretty good i mean dedicated i ask the authorities for a strict and thorough investigation we want to know precisely what happened and how and when we know it for sure we will inform the public that it mean it on your little show that i was with and for you. security camera footage captured the moment that the mermaid the small boat seen on the left was struck by the viking

sigyn ever of a cruise ship 5 times its length it took just a few seconds for the moment to capsize and sink. the captain of the largest ship is in custody on suspicion of endangering waterborne traffic resulting in multiple deaths journalist on boss joins us now from the banks of the danube in budapest stefan a south korean foreign minister arrived in hungary with an emergency task force what's she been looking at. which will she also looking for answers of course she was here to face her respect but she also made it very fast clear that she really wants and how this would happen and one of the things you wants to know is how the company was between the 2 vessels. negations were not good and there have been questions raised how is it possible that this accident

happens knowing that usually this vessels have also g.p.s. equipment as well or so older perhaps satellites or equipment if you will so they are definitely looking into debt i can also tell you that the foreign minister did arrive alone there are also relatives. and they are also expected to be here very shortly ok so there's questions about the g.p.s. equipment about communications do we know anything as to what might have caused this accident. well what a heft on the detainee the captain of the main ship that lost so responsible of course has been linked to the coalition and actually the police wants to know how this was possible and that they want to know it from a game that has been some suggestions that the captain a 64 year old ukrainian reckless about it all to hand seems also to suggest that

a captain of a small boat in fact steered to logs to pass over a lot your ship so that is still being sorted out and i guess that investigation will take time to really establish why dispute happened is really dismayed to try to do for hungry one of the worst the sastre in decades if you talk about. accidents ok now a search and rescue operation continues as that investigation goes on a south korean team is helping out with that is this still a search and rescue operation or is it at this point. operation. well officially to have not yet told it a recovery operation as far as i know but course every hour there is so little cult that they will find effect survivors as a matter of fact it is expected that the death toll will rise to at least $28.00

it's also interesting to realize steps many people are believed to be in the boat that says sunk in 7 seconds here behind me and it is expected depth at least some bodies will be found there as well and of course all the bodies may never be found or at least that's not being forthcoming yet they have only found 7 survivor so far and unfortunately. all the people are killed that's what they believe now including most likely a 6 year old girl stuff for us with the latest details in budapest thank you very much stuff on and we'll have more on that story as the details come in. or change of pace down today may 31st is world no tobacco day that's when the world health organization puts the spotlight on the major health threats of smoking more than a 1000000000 people smoke on a regular basis bacco consumption has been declining in many parts of the world but

there are notable exceptions regions in africa for example and countries in the middle east w.h.o. says that tobacco kills more than $7000000.00 people each year and graphic warnings on cigarette packages advertising bans and tobacco taxes have discourage people from smoking and so some have now turned to ease cigarettes but as we hear in our next report east cigarettes can also cause major health problems. strawberry is among the most popular flavors for a cigarette smokers or vapors these mullan. there's a huge range to choose from. the cigarettes are claimed to contain fewer harmful substances the uses than conventional tobacco varieties the liquids which generally have added nicotine under roma are only heated and not burned the image is a healthier alternative is likely a major factor in each 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 and the end of last year the u.s. 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 while british american tobacco owns the high end smoked chain of bait 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 money factor has 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 can mean dependency and long term health risks whether they smoke the conventional or electronic variety of cigarette. now to a woman who is perhaps the most famous d.j. in all of warsaw perhaps even at all she began when she was $55.00 and now d.j. is $88.00 and still going strong. these disco dancer is may not be the youngest anymore but they're in great form and this woman is getting them in the
