But this is not how a Democratic State responds to what started out certainly as peaceable demonstrations. Plenty more ahead on the news hour including johnson delivers a new brags that offers the e. U. Including proposals to resolve the irish border problem. A day after a student was shot by Hong Kong Police and beijing protests show no sign of letting up. And in the sport peter has action from the World Championships including a goal tonight for britain into. The states is set to impose 7 and a half 1000000000. 00 worth of tariffs on imports from the European Union the tariffs are in retaliation for e. U. Subsidies given to european airplane manufacturer air bus which the World Trade Organization says were legal fears of a tit for tat stem from the e. U. Likely being able to impose its own new tariffs next year for illegal subsidies given to us airplane maker boeing for more on this heidi castro who joins us joins us live now from washington d. C. Heidi how did this all start. Well neve there is a lot of irony involved here because 15 years ago essentially the United States and the European Union pointed their fingers at each other accusing each other of doing the same thing which was given illegal government subsidies to their own aircraft manufacturers and the irony comes in that the World Trade Organization found both parties guilty now the United States had the advantage of having filed the claim 1st and so today it was the 1st to receive the World Trade Organizations greenlights to impose these punitive tariffs on the e. U. And now these tariffs go well beyond just european made aircraft which will be tariffs at 10 percent they also include a 25 percent tariff on a long list of luxury items that includes irish whiskies british bed linens german coffee spanish all of oil french wine many luxury items that perhaps were selected by the u. S. Trade office because theyll have a slightly less impact on the average American Consumer but in a few months as you mention that very likely the United Nations its excuse me the European Union will have its chance to impose the World Trade Organizations sanctioned tariffs punitive tariffs on the u. S. So the circumstances are here for possibly an escalation in this trade war. How will the slightly impose industry itself. Right well they are certainly at the center of this and so airbus has issued a statement saying that this would severely impact their industry it would mean more expensive planes on both sides of the atlantic and more expensive air fare for travelers but if you look at the greater trade picture this ends the tentative trade truce between the e. U. And the us that has held the sense july of 2018 if you remember trump at initially impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the e. U. And now hes still i possibly tariffs on european made automobiles the European Union has said that it wants to avoid all of this that it thinks theres still time for a settled negotiation between 2 parties and in fact boeing issued a statement calling for the same name custer in washington d. C. Thank you stock market so for one heavily again on fears of a weakening Global Economy the foot sea in the u. K. Sorts worst day since 26th enough to poor u. S. Job states a couple whose weak manufacturing reports led to a sell off of equities stocks also fell across europe. And geo political outlook investor confidence. U. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson has unveiled what hes calling the final offer to the European Union it comes only 4 weeks before the u. K. Is jeana to leave the e. U. And includes proposals on how to replace the irish backstop at being barber as more. Its gone down well with the Party Faithful but in the end the message from the british Prime Minister to brussels wasnt take it or leave it but rather can we talk about it today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out as Boris Johnson addressed the conservative Party Conference his envoy was on his way to belgium with the actual brics it documents given the full width of the proposals with the 1st the new text is supposed to replace the socalled backstop the insurance policy to prevent a post breaks it hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland crucially Northern Ireland would not be in the e. U. s Customs Union Boris Johnson accepts goods going between an island in Northern Ireland would be subject to customs checks but insists physical checks could happen well away from the border. In brussels the reaction has been less than enthusiastic dairies progress. But to be frank the rush of work still need to be done to reach into feeling this republic people to backstop no border or arnold economy and project industry go to market. First assessment of nearly every member of the axis Steering Group was not positively do you think its a serious effort or is is just trying to put the blame on you. I think that last point was not so bad that in britain there have been suggestions johnsons plan was drawn. Did specifically to be unacceptable to ireland and hence the e. U. Paving the way for a no deal or crash outbreaks it at the end of this month it is not an outcome we seek a tall but let me tell you my friends it is an outcome for which we are reading johnson spoken on the phone with germanys chancellor Angela Merkel his irish counterpart leo veronica and the president of the European Commission john claude younker hes due to hold more talks this week. Hes also seeking to suspend the current session of parliament next tuesday before a queens speech a week later launching his new legislative agenda when a steel feels his opponents dont trust him some fear hell try to bypass a law passed last month obliging him to seek a break that extension if he doesnt have a deal by the 19th of october thats just after the next e. U. Summit so expect to push back and possibly more legal action as that deadline approaches the dean barber al jazeera. The president of the European Commission says johnsons offer has some problematic points that has more from paris. Well the message from the European Union certainly seems to be that we are listening to the u. K. We have yet to be convinced now the European Commission head john claude younkers had a telephone conversation with the u. K. s Prime Minister in it Boris Johnson laid out his vision for a new plan including his proposals for an alternative to the irish backstop now in a statement in a Statement Released by the European Commission after that phone call. Said that he welcomed johnsons determination to make progress towards a deal but it is clear in that statement the younger has yet to be convinced that johnsons proposals for an alternative to the irish backstop would fulfill the commitments that have been laid down by the European Union mainly that thered be no return to the hard border between Northern Ireland part of the u. K. And ireland which is part of the e. U. And that also the integrity of the e. U. Single market would be maintained now we also heard from Michel Barnier the. Regs it chief negotiator he said that yes theres been progress but theres still a lot of work to be done and what will be doing is speaking and briefing e. U. Officials and he says that in the coming days there will be more talks between e. U. And u. K. Officials to see what progress can be made the e. U. Is determined to have a deal they do not want a no deal scenario but it has to be said time is running out theres a big you summit on october 17th any agreement would have to be signed then that means that in the coming days they would have to be negotiations that lead to some sort of final document and that does seem to be very tight indeed in terms of a deadline we then of of course october 31st the date on which Boris Johnson says the u. K. Will need the e. U. Deal or no deal.

Well for more on that web joined by robert scott who is the Senior International economist at the Economic Policy institute he joins us now live from North Potomac and maryland thank you very much for joining us because talk about asking you what you think the white house is going to achieve through these tariffs well not very much frankly theyve been imposing tariffs on goods from around the world for more than 2 years now weve got tariffs on over 200000000000. 00 in goods from china approaching 300000000000. 00 bet tariffs on proximately. 100000000000. 00 in steel in lieu of imports and yet the u. S. Trade deficit keeps growing it went up 10 percent last year much faster than overall g. D. P. So tariffs are not effective strategy for bringing down our trade deficit with a reproach to the world and as far as im aware it was something of a race between the e. U. And the United States to get to the w t o 2 to request these tasks in the 1st place what was the dispute all about regarding boeing and airbus. But this is been going on for more than a decade these companies are large and important. Centers of Technical Innovation and theyre both they both receive large amounts of government startup support r. And d. Support the us struck 1st they went to the deputy you know and and filed a complaint about a year subsidies to air bus but lawyers were d equally effective and they were able to come up with a list of the u. S. Subsidies that went to boeing subsidies in boeings case for a little more indirect they came to the department of defense for military contracts but of course the military Aircraft Research contributes to. The design of commercial aircraft as well and how might consumers be affected by oh if as far as im aware when were talking about tires being imposed on luxury goods things like irish and scots whiskeys obviously not everyone says favorite tipple. But clearly any impacts on travel is likely to impact you can seem as quite badly. Actually no i think its going to the impact is going to be quite tiny youre talking about so 7000000000. 00 in tariffs that meant authorized perhaps 10 percent on new e. U. Aircraft sold to the u. S. 25 percent on some of these products as you mentioned cheese and wine in cashmere sweaters. We dont even know if the final prices to consumers will go up by that search by that anything close to that is a mess certainly is not going to know anything like the impact on. For example Airline Tickets which reflect from mary the cost of fuel and landing rights and so forth that cost a new airplanes is a small small part of the aircraft again all right robert scott thank you very much for joining us my pleasure thank you a moment of silence has been held in turkey on the 1st anniversary of the murder of Saudi Arabian journalist a mouth a short Family Friends and members of the United Nations Investigations Team were in attendance has showed she was never seen again after going into the saudi consulate in istanbul investigations by turkish officials indicate that has showed she was killed and dismembered by a saudi hit squad.

And little in general seem to be simmering issue of the region is the legitimacy of the united behind most at risk it is clearly made him think this is something justice is growing feeling you know had our specialty for more than 20 years just months before the murder the 2 of them founded an organization aimed at encouraging democracy in the arab world the smaller General Social tree have i failed miserably they killed his body but the amplified his message and thats why today the issues he advocated for throughout his life and the past 3 or 4 years are known to the world and there are actions on for example the war in yemen there is more awareness about the Political Prisoners in saudi arabia and the need for a social and political reform there are awareness about whats going on in the arab world once the speech is ended is that the crowd to the unveiling of a memorial stone in a small park just meters from the consulate door a reminder of gemayel special please life in the absence of a gravestone saudi official still refused to disclose whats happened with his body the remains of jamal may never be found that is if they still exist yet his legacy lives on through his death hes inspired people from around the world and this memorial stone which like modest in its appearance yet formidable will serve as a place for them to come and pay their respects.
