10:11 am
is the c.f.o. of that company among one jo who also happens to be the daughter of its founder she was taken into custody by canadian authorities on the very same day that she jinping and donald trump were giving the impression the better times were on the cards for their bilateral relations were among the now faces extradition to the u.s. and while u.s. authorities have not revealed the motives behind the arrest there are reports that the company is suspected of potential violations of u.s. sanctions against iran the response from beijing has been stirred indonesian demanded explanation for the detention the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human rights of the detainee. rewind to less than a week ago trumpet claims that a trade deal was in the works and the relations had taken a big leap forward but that was followed by a tweet insisting that if an agreement wasn't reached it's important to remember he's a tariff man it's
10:12 am
a rollercoaster not just for emotions but for the markets too even the white house is top economic advisor can't help but exacerbate all the uncertainty i think it's coming. already told us what give us some details well it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet and adding to all the confusion is the proposal of this ninety day truce that period this supposed to be used to ramp up dialogue an attempt to mend the rift between the two sides. ok let's get more reaction ivan jeanne hand saying he's a senior international. relations there actually at the royal holloway university of london and you very welcome thanks for your time this evening what are your views here because there were concerns weren't there that this arrest might set trade talks between the two countries but it looks like the u.s. and china do definitely want to reach some sort of agreement. you know i think of michael stipe probably want to reach the agreement was and i sing this in certain
10:13 am
loops used going to put some damage. at the moment i'm not saying that probably that we would just and crossness make it very difficult for china to agree with you that if you listen to what both sides been saying certainly over the last twenty four hours they seem pretty positive don't they're saying look you know as long as we treat each other with mutual respect and understand mutual benefits will find some sort of agreement it's all very well in writing or just saying have the practicalities of trying to overcome all the things they've been talking about i mean it's going to be very difficult isn't it yeah that is very good because i mean you have to understand i mean it's those i'm trying to lose someone who negotiated but also you have the hard line. of work. for importantly so we see in china i think what happened was par exemple you give us consulate and the want to be can't shut up you want us basically upper hand. in what we should to
10:14 am
make of the humans many states because what they have been doing to us is a communication to china and we shouldn't trust them well so i think this will be sure trust and do the negotiation make that but the are a lot more difficult to be reached certainly well how do you think china views the trumpet ministration i say that because we all know about the art of the deal and donald trump but from china's point of view how do you think they'll approach it. well i think i think his government now it's very difficult right so there's a lot of stick so he wants to make that you work in there once you reach that your after night night it is so out of michael it will do when you look through it if you would are less than one. in which the master asked some students a lot of people we see in china and we have one on. the not very happy with what happened in bali and how could you actually if the rest of the leading thirty exactly you only live in china's tech like that it's somewhat unfair who are trying
10:15 am
to people and do not how long last are the united states so i think and i'm now trying to use to not be public relations have here trying to dealing with the public opinion especially the less less sentiment there is a lot wouldn't you at the same time there's a lot of business you need to see in china are you also worried as we are so we will the same thing happened with there was well i mean for example if you are a leader of a big state or meter price probably we were equally obvious right so what happens to the t e commission before now it happens to our ip so what might happen next and there is a lot of push a lot of anger on that this is why humans are chinese internet user are seeing that now we can arrest american exactly in china as a response to it was a revenge and you can use the excuse like probably it how could we get into one that you have used a lot so we can all rest along with you american pop exactly so you can see this
10:16 am

10:23 am
to it if some of our european counterparts are concerned they must influence their ally of the united states so that the american sit down with us and start to talk substantively instead of just throwing accusations at us across the ocean with that we are ready for such a conversation there is already concern at this point that washington could use these allegations against russia as a pretext to ditch other treaties. and we've heard previously from russian officials including blatter. they believe the american side first quits and then tries to explain why they did so. germany's ruling christian democrat party is deciding on a new leader as chancellor angela merkel steps down from the role after eighteen years in charge voting has now gone to a second round after no candidate got an initial majority with more now from berlin his. uncle merkel has kicked off the christian democratic union party's conference
