good you should try your one true thing a trade war is surely the wrong prescription for china will certainly make it appropriate and necessary response we will defend our interests if needs come. from because the increased terrorist will hurt us all the trade rules are an easy tools. and it's expected that all steel exporters to the us will pay an extra twenty five percent with a ten percent tariff slapped on our new million coming into the country. opposes the move and is considering employing counter measures in the states are considering new tariffs on consumer goods produced in the u.s. including clothes motorcycles peanut butter and cheese. does this now with

boy field who is involved in several think tanks and runs his own consulting business in london ball field associates very good evening to you we've heard the kind of the nuts and bolts of this story if the u.s. does impose these tariffs import tariffs as a expected study what donald trump seems to want will we see retaliation from other countries will it be proportionate. well the you know this policy is so dumb because the people who are really going to come out worse from this are american consumers including the u.s. military i mean they're importing a lot of steel for the u.s. defense budget from south korea and one of the reasons that trump has given for this policy is strategic defense reasons so dumb it just doesn't add up. in terms of proportionate responses from the e.u. in china and so on i would argue in a lot of my colleagues would argue that it would be equally dumb for the e.u.

to impose tariffs on things like harley davidson motorbikes because again the people who come out worst of that are the console gamers i don't think mr trump has ever read david ricardo who is the classical economist who came up with the theory of comparative advantage i would recommend that he did so a revised trans-pacific partnership deal i believe has been signed in chile just in a matter of few hours here is what you make of that in the telling well i gather that a lot of this sort of thing has been influenced by people like gary cohen and some of the other advisers to trump but gary cohen of course former goldman sachs partner has resigned because he was so much against this policy and yours also very much against the way in which the other advisers were working with trump and really not paying any heed to the normal way in which you should run a policy or administration running government without an agenda or part really just

your idiology i mean the phrase being thrown around this is trade war is that what we're going to see tariffs well there's a range of it there's a danger of it and actually really the focus is on the world trade organization based in geneva because that's the arbiter the referee you could say of these things and really the double world trade organization has never. really being tested like it looks as though it's going to be tested in the next week or two so it's really up to the world trade organization to show its mettle no pun intended if we get these various regions the us other areas could easily be drawn in trying to protect their own manufacturers what effect will this have on global trade well it would be very damaging i mean it's been calculated for example that for every one job saved by this tariff in position for steel and aluminum in the

united states the u.s. economy will actually lou lou five jobs that adds up to one hundred forty six thousand jobs that are a risk because of this policy by trump it is so dumb. is this all by the book these import tariffs from the u.s. in accordance with rules. well that's that's why i mentioned the w t o and it's important role as a referee i mean it has to be seen the way in which the world trade organization is going to referee this i have cons that they're not going to be as robust as they should be at the onus is really on them to do something well it seems like we've only just begun but lots will unfold no doubt many thanks keep both filled is my guest runs his own consulting business there in london keith bush field associates. in other news racially motivated hostility and

crimes against germans in berlin is becoming more commonplace according to the capital security chief peter oliver reports the burly interior minister has had some pretty unexpected things to say about how native germans treat in the nation's capital i have heard it's not the norm but it is becoming more common to keep quiet about it would be wrong a recent survey has shown that where is this time last year around two thirds of the said they felt safe in their city that's around just over half these days while those that said they felt very insecure it risen from nine percent a year ago to around sixteen percent right now as for what is fueling fears sort of pointed towards the influx of refugees and migrants into areas like this. district the local integration officer here says this well refugees don't fear

arrest is they know that they'll be instantly released by the police should they be caught breaking the law does this do you know i don't think crime has decreased on the contrary it's actually increased i'd say ninety five percent of the crimes here are committed by foreigners that's way too much i think in general. people start to panic way earlier. this is way news spread quite quickly and. i wouldn't say berlin has gotten more dangerous than any sane thing it's just because of all the news that get like it's spread all over the balloon and they just make a big deal out of every time the crime that's committed and. this is even so political our politicians should be made to commute using the underground for one week and be made to hang out in this neighborhood that way they would see what the situation is really like it's become very hostile and aggressive not nice at all.

some of the politicians who represent the area say the perception of danger could become the new reality if a majority of the people have the feeling that they don't feel secure anymore and there is some simpson basics for that many things that are not even clear to the police as crime or as a rassmann or whatever you can call it because you know well the police cannot do anything about it because our justice system is like that well they come in for maybe five hours and then they let them off again punishment is something that evidently or appear in plea in berlin context isn't there anymore and perhaps it's the feeling that things could get worse that's driving public opinion to feel that the german capital is because less peter all of a. people in california seem to be getting more annoyed about automation for example in san francisco there been a number of attacks on self driving cars with passes by banging on the girl's

windows and bonnets and in the same city a robotic guard was taken out of service after a public outcry and the security both in question was given the job of shooting away homeless people from outside business offices it was vandalized several times during its patrols and now a new robotic kitchen assistant working in a burger joint has been slammed as well. that was flipping the robot. to the twitter hash tag. the robots with some complaining that jobs are being stolen from paypal others though see automation as well inevitable one expert we spoke to said it's no surprise some people are angry . robotics is developing very fast and it's going to begin parents and it's already having big so it's not surprising that you're already seeing these kinds of

reactions from people when you start to talk about out. of jobs being threatened by the introduction of. the economy. fifty percent unemployment ok that is a crisis of social political economic crisis one of the possible outcomes and one of the likely possible. is is massive violence. it was kind of vandalism and sounds honest i think you'll be seeing but you'll be seeing even larger scale disruptions if there are appropriate adjustments in our political and economic arrangements we need to start redistributing things more fairly related start to pay people to take care of people and clean up the communities and to do so many sins and we in the end to make sure that people at that technology instead

of being dispossessed by technology. the story of a russian and pay he's been accused of harassing female journalists has been making headlines this week despite denying the accusations the m.p. has decided to apologize today on these jacqueline vigor explains the man in the spotlight is leonid slutsky a member of the russian duma and the scandal actually erupted in mid february when the first accusations of sexual harassment surface by female journalists and since then it has snowballed with more and more women coming forward one of those has been a reporter from the b.b.c.'s russian service and she joined the group saying that she has a recording of an incident worse lecky made inappropriate advances and also groped her as well at this point that recording has yet to be released in full and throughout all this has denied the claim saying that it's actually just a smear campaign. and that was until today today is of course international women's day and he used the opportunity to mix in the apology end with

a post celebrating the holiday i'd like to use this occasion to apologize to anyone who intentionally or not i've caused any emotional stress believe me there were no bad intentions amid the wave of accusations against the speaker of the duma came out casting doubt on the claims and also making a suggestion to women that infuriated many is something to consider what if it's that this was all just a provocation if you have someone you should apologize but if you provoke you should be held accountable is it dangerous for you to work in the duma if so then change your jobs all this has prompted outcry especially among journalists who are demanding the appropriate steps be taken and today a protest was even held outside of the state duma where many of those participating were members of the media at this point the ethics committee has already opened an investigation into the situation and will be required to submit answers to all official accusations and if those are found to be lacking he could eventually lose

his immunity now the one good thing coming out of this we have seen from in another member of the duma. on the push she's promised a fast track in all bill enforcing gender equality and targeting sexual harassment in the government. women around the world are marking international women's day today these are live pictures you can see now from madrid this is where thousands of gathered to protest against gender discrimination. coincided with spain's nationwide. strike with millions of women. while people in south korea took to the streets of seoul this was in support of the many two movements they're calling for sex offenders to be brought to justice and while the p.r. efforts of some firms meant to be in support of women being branded. as reality so nations. he takes a closer look. it's a global commemoration of women's rights a child to rights and wrongs some companies some top p.r.

by showing their support for women although not always successfully take this french anti harassment campaign showing female passengers on public transport was being preyed on by animals instead of people a metaphor which hit the buffers with a few fellow travellers. have never been bothered by a shark in the subway stop or a stop in the much of. the difference between a rule and then dissent. is that i have never been harassed. and what about the people behind the retailers told to check who thought it be a great idea to make snap the sickly for women so they could be more dainty and ladylike women don't like to crunch too loudly in public and they don't think their fingers change mostly and they don't like to poor little broken pieces and the flavor into them. tends out that's judging by their reaction online most women day it. just like with the edgy big company dog who expected fame out trick is to flock

to them for fear even if it was a bit of sarcastic stereotyping it felt that. if you have to explain the joke maybe it's not very good joe. good is good for you too otherwise we're really drink not the blue one it's for boys. it seems that it's a marketing minefield when fans try winning over women take to save for matching to print politicising. it says baffling as the day is insulting so perhaps will mr a when the struggle for women's rights should be celebrated as maybe the p.r. guys let's face it. they probably our guys should take some time out to change the pattern i think tank dropping the gender pigeonholing and remember that political

correctness doesn't wash with women these said to have to. read. it all and the culture these brands are trying to be an activist in this culture of these and it depends on how well is the stunt you surely these companies have there are horse. markets. for at least for marketing their product in certain ways that. impact and make them more interesting . it was a little more lighthearted though here in russia where players from the scar ice hockey club carved out what the eighth of march meant to them.

today watching around the world and many congratulations see you at the top of their. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of abduction but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to be the center of the beach but how would you. go all the great britain if you are the rock at the back nobody gets

past you we need you to get let's go. to a low. and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one i was also appreciate me to just take the radio the aussie team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. under-performing the stock market oh my god blackstone one arbitrage opportunity you have brought a mixture sell i suggest you short yourselves a par lunny and. so you eviscerate your own corporate balance sheet and then blow your brains out of live t.v. they give us all a big kind of fun experience for the financial predatory class up. at

the plate so many flips over the years so i know the gunman so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kills you narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy but great to will transfer. the case this morning to.

welcome to all the parties sending humans into space has long required a national and even international effort to provide all the necessary financing and technology but space access recent successes in hauling freight into orbit claim to challenge these paradigms can privatized space services make space exploration cheaper and easier to discuss that i'm now joined by geoffrey hoffman an american astronaut and currently a professor of aeronautics and astronautics at the massachusetts institute of technology and dr huffman it's so great to talk to you thank you very much for your time. pleasure to be here now the world is still massmart eyes by space-x. recent falcon have a launch it was certainly very spectacular after that some people compare it to the launch of sputnik or the landing on the moon i want it all as an engineer do you

think that was really such a major technological breakthrough a major milestone in the history of space exploration. no i mean it is evolutionary but what space x. as a whole is trying to accomplish i do think is revolutionary. the idea of strapping together three first stages to make a more powerful rocket is not new the the u.s. has the delta heavy rocket which has been flying for many years now. so that technology is not revolutionary however what space x. has accomplished is to make it a lot more affordable. the rough cost of a delta heavy. it's hard to know exactly but it's in the order of two hundred fifty million dollars the falcon nine the falcon heavy can carry.

twice the payload of a delta heavy for about one hundred million dollars and so it really is changing the paradigm of how much it costs to get into space and and that's the revolutionary aspect i think of what space x. is doing but dr hoffman i wonder if it's perhaps too early to say that because i think the same arguments were made about the shuttle program that it's to be usable that it's going to be so much cheaper than let's say the soviet comparison but dan i got from your own lecture is that shuttles turned out to be much more expansive because all the ground operations and how they were service perhaps not very efficiently i understand that this is a house basics market it's technology at this point of time but can we really rely on those figures to be proven in time well. you're

absolutely correct that people are waiting to see can space x. maintain the very aggressive launch scheduled that they have and reuse a lot of these first stage rockets which they've been recovering because that's what the price reduction depends on in in large part so yeah it's still early days but what i can say though is what happened with the shuttle it was a very complex vehicle immunes very capable it was the most versatile spacecraft probably that we'll ever see but it took a tremendous amount of care and maintenance there were thousands of people involved in every shuttle launch and that's where the money goes for people salaries and what space x. has tried to do is to simplify everything to make it possible to turn around

a launch to reduce the first stages without thousands and thousands of people so far they've been successful but as you say it's early days and we have to see can they maintain the pace and do it. wall they keep. you know hopefully a perfect roy ability record now elin mask is known to be very good at marketing this is how he sells his very expensive car speech i would argue are not very practical a driving but a very good for boosting your self-esteem i wonder if he's also trying to sell not so much the product by the imagined experience associated with it because when you think about all of the footage and the video that god from doc launch a it's more about projecting it certain ideas certain dream rather than marketing the actual capacity that he wants to bring to the market no i wouldn't agree with

that i mean anybody in the space business was concerned about is the rocket going to work. you know it. was really important to be able to show that they could launch recover the boosters and get the payload into orbit. the fact that instead of just using a bunch of lead weights as because you know you have to hear it wasn't carrying any real payload for money i mean no nobody was launching a satellite on this but you still have to carry a payload with the equivalent mass of a large satellite and so the fact that he decided to launch his red tesla with a you know a a mannequin astronaut in it that that was obviously marketing and very clever and and the general public got a real thrill out of it and you know the idea of c i one of the things that i hope

comes out of of a lot of what's happening in the private space market these days because we have to remember space x. is not the only one it's an extraordinary time that we're living in we we have a generation of billionaires who are space nuts they have a vision you listen to bigelow to to musk to be zos their vision is that some day many many people human beings are going to be living off the surface of the earth and i think that's really what's what's ultimately motivating him there there's easier ways to make money than than developing a rocket company but he but he has a vision they are not the only people who have vision and i think just because they're billionaires i don't see why dive vision has to be given so much attention down compared to for example your own vision because you have been into space five

times you you completed four spacewalks you you know how. fix the hubble telescope and yet what people would remember after this launch is an empty tassel a card with a dummy auster not rather than for example you or somebody else who's doing every you work there in space don't you think that people perhaps need to appreciate not how glamorous this base is but how lebaron is it is you're misinterpreting the purpose of the falcon heavy launch was not to put a tesla into orbit the purpose was to demonstrate that this new configuration which is the first time that space x. has ever tried this and they want to be able to use this to launch heavy satellites when you're when you have a new rocket you have to demonstrate that it works. that was the critical part of the launch and it was totally successful you know he decided to make it

a little sexier by putting his red tesla as the payload but that was not the purpose of the launch now when somebody wants to put a really heavy satellite into orbit they can have certain confidence that the falcon heavy configuration has demonstrated that it it can work successfully and hopefully that means that he'll be able to launch heavy payloads both for private companies and for the government because this is important for nasa and this is a lot of heavy payloads and if you can launch it for a third of the price of what you would have to pay on the delta heavy you can get a lot more science done now dr hoffman just a few moments ago you mentioned this new vision. mosque and other space not as you called them have and mr mosque in particular is talking about space faring civilization and and multiply military species i suspect this is actually very

similar to what year hurried and. when you were growing up as a boy in new york drawing all those rockets and that it was more than sixty years later and yet we ask humanity i still not there do you think mr musk will see his vision very bold vision i have to say realized in his lifetime well when he talks about millions of people living on the surface of mars i think probably not that's that's a very expansive vision whether or not that will occur in the lifetime of anybody who's alive now i i honestly don't know. but the falcon heavy now has the capability of taking payloads to mars rather significant payloads and. you know one of the exciting things that happened is that nasa as

a space agency. originally kind of was reluctant to get involved with the private sector but. that was i think one of the successes of the obama administration's space policy was that they basically directed nasa to work with the private sector for lower thor bit launches and for taking crew up to the international space station and so this idea of a public private partnership. i really look at as being the key to success for the future. we're not going to have another apollo program whether for the moon or mars i mean apollo was a very special time we had a cold war going on between the u.s. and the soviet union space had been identified as one of the areas in which you could demonstrate the superiority of your culture and you know the the russians

were launching things first and then the americans and finally we got to the moon first. but at a tremendous cost i mean at the height of the apollo program over four hundred thousand people were working on apollo it was for about two years nasa was getting almost four percent of the u.s. government's budget that's not going to happen again so nasa if they're going to be successful in space exploration has to learn to do it not apollo style but affordably and i think therefore there's a lot to be learned from the public sector and by working with the public sector and using these developments particularly the rockets in the spacecraft developed at a much lower cost than nasa has previously been paying for launches that might make it possible on a much more limited budget that we then we had during apollo to.
