and social norms and inform them about the basic rights my name is them out of the home and i have more freedom. as the u.s. sets its tariff sights on almost every product made in china u.s. president donald trump says he's prepared to go even tougher leaving investors wondering how much worse it can get. it also coming up in beijing gets back out washington's claims that chinese fentanyl exports are to blame for thousands of opioid deaths in the u.s. . and resilience is becoming a key word in frogs it is. or take you to the hard luck city

a black hole. this is the w. business i'm joined on in berlin welcome a 2nd day of mixed messages from u.s. president donald trump as the latest escalation in his trade war with china continues to weigh on global markets trump has said that the talks with beijing were going well but signaled a much tougher stance should he get reelected in 2020 potentially setting the stage for an even more protracted trade war this follows the expansion of the punitive tariff regime on chinese products over the weekend our correspondent younes court the joins us now from wall street where it's the 1st trading day since those latest round of tariffs came into effect so yes do tell us what has it been like. well i mean we diffidently did see some selling pressure here on wall street more or less everything traded to the downside

some technology shares for example as semiconductor makers are affected by the terror of the trade dispute between the 2 biggest economies on the planet and just if you look back to generally of 2017 when u.s. president gone from took power back then on average should china saw tariffs to the u.s. in the amount of an average 3 percent now we have an average terrace of 21 percent and more tariffs still. actually aim for the latest by mid december so certainly an escalation of the trade dispute and that did not go well down here on wall street. well i can imagine but trump has like to point to china's weakening economy as a harbinger of victory in this trade war but some numbers out today is just that the u.s. is feeling some pain to. hear clearly i mean overall the united states is

a country that does not depend so much on exports as china does the u.s. most the actually benefits from a strong consumer market but now we've got some readings from the industry the manufacturing index number from the industry and those data for august fell below the 50 percent mark the 1st time in about 3 years and everything below 50 percent. and at a slowing economic growth especially in the manufacturing area here in the united states and that actually even put some more pressure on stocks. down by almost 300 points and what we see is that a lot of companies was all the trade uncertainty a lot of those companies are not investing and that actually causes the slowdown here in this area. not exactly your dictionary definition of

a victory thank you very much yes carter there on wall street for us. now a tense relations between the world's 2 biggest economies go beyond a trade war washington has also consistently blamed china for sending huge supplies of the extremely potent opioid fentanyl to the united states causing thousands of deaths beaching says that's baseless paramedics in western pennsylvania are checking they have enough medicine available during the shift for people who've overdosed on fentanyl the synthetic drug is 50 times stronger than heroin and kills thousands of americans every year. u.s. authorities have long accused of being the main source of the drug but the narcotics control commission in beijing says it's investigated chemical industrial parks and closed down internet sites selling fenton online and concluded. the. president trump said in his tweet. from china is completely groundless and

untrue. 2 weeks ago president tweeted that he's ordering logistics companies to search for and refuse all deliveries of fenton or from china and elsewhere he also wrote the chinese president. promised this influx would stop and that it didn't what's clear is that the drug comes in containers and through the mail law enforcement officials from virginia took down a major drug ring last week they found 30 kilograms of fentanyl one official involved in the investigation said that most comes directly from china. chinese officials say they're doing everything they can to keep their promise of cracking down on illegal shipments to the u.s. they're edging u.s. president trump to deal with the trade dispute and the crisis separately they also complain that searching all shipments bound for the u.s. is slowing down china's export operations. the british pound fell to

levels of child poverty in britain as a result many kids like resilience they don't know how to overcome difficulties or take on challenges like john donnelly is teaching them the art of dealing with crises so that they come out stronger a lot they still is just normal everyday ordinary ways of coping sometimes the children don't yet know how to do it resilience research has identified a set of qualities necessary for successful living donley inter-team equipped kids with skills like positive thinking and developing personal responsibility new concepts for many here. it would just be a lot of mumbai. full of learn how to. do it myself and know. to do it i think it makes me happy. facts we're getting trained by the resistance people in blackpool and another thing

gays is that we're in blackpool which is a brilliant place certainly that's not a common view of seaside towns demise began in the 1970 s. when british holiday makers discovered the allure of the mediterranean since then blackpool has been in decline one till now it's time to change the town's image say those behind projects like resilience pathway made of 42 paving stones with thought provoking statements like engage mentors and be brave it's the work of head start a network of schools and local action groups together they're driving blackpool's resilience revolution. they've grown in confidence they believe they have a purpose and a voice now in the town in a sense of belonging here so that's the biggest thing but we do have some really only findings so we know that approximately 90 percent of young people who we support to a self harming don't need to go back through crisis care it all sounds too good to
