Companies to leave china well heidi jocasta joins me now from washington and one announcement probably followed by another speaking of more terrorists. Thats right in a span of 280 characters on twitter President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated this trade war between the worlds 2 biggest economies he tweeted just about half an hour ago that starting on october 1st that 250000000000. 00 of goods and products from china currently being taxed at 25 percent will be taxed at 30 percent additionally the remaining 300000000000. 00 of goods and products from china that was being taxed from september 1st at 10 percent it will now be taxed at 15 percent its notable that those announcements were made just after u. S. Stock markets closed and on his previous tweets from earlier in the day when trump had said he hereby ordered u. S. Businesses to stop doing business in china on that news alone the dow slid more than 600. 00 points down and this is coming at a particularly sensitive time in Donald Trumps presidency over the last 2 weeks the u.

And in terms of who President Trump is blaming the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell is a also been mentioned by President Trump. With the president staging quite a remarkable and blistering attack on powell.

S. Or chairman see the leader of china and hes been targeting Jerome Powell who it really is hes in a political position as chairman he is not supposed to be partisan he is not influenced by washington at all but trump has really laid the pressure into powell and the board of the Federal Reserve to lower the Interest Rates and in fact they did that just last month the 1st time in over a decade citing the strong Economic Performance in the u. S. Well just after that happened thats when we started getting these indicators of a possible recession on the horizon and trampas only late in more blaming power for not having further cut those Interest Rates merriam thank you very much castro in washington.

Im standing in a burnt field this field is for sale its not clear whether this land was burnt deliberately whether it was accidental or whether it was a natural phenomenon that is unlikely to be investigated as i say this is a Frontier Town the kind of people who come here they come here to the forest because they do cattle ranching to make money out of the the Timber Industry and this is where president dr also narrow word is law these people generally voted voted for him to become president at the beginning of this year he has said that the kind of crimes the kind of fires are being set illegally are unlikely to be investigated he sees the environmentalist Indigenous Community as an impediment to further development of this area which he says is right for development 70 percent of the state the state of round on your say 5 hours flying time from stop paolo another 2 hours drive to get from portobello to where we are now a long way from everywhere very difficult to police unlikely that any any crimes are likely to be investigated and that is partly the problem that has been raging in and around this region the neighboring state of amazonas you can spot these from satellite satellites up in the sky but that doesnt really help the policing down on the ground so what goes on here is unlikely theyre going to be aware of the International Condemnation that you just mentioned about mark or on about other people speaking about this they have to make a living theyre here to try to develop this region and that is continuing with or without the flame.

Prime minister Boris Johnson some are speculating with breaks it looming he may want to consider taking a tougher position on iran in order to win favor with trump. If course johnsons Fertile Ground for a no deal really is true and therefore what hes been doing in berlin and paris has really just been made a ruse of sorts where youre going to see the u. K.

Level of posturing from Boris Johnson who will be in the company of trump and who will almost be taken him long to start behaving in a way thats more u. S.
