Evidence points the evidence or culpability points to the russian state and as it did in the case of Alexander Litvinenko the trail of polonium led back very clearly to the russian state and in the end.

him or to the next last letter in the end of these people in seven incidents the u. N. Says before the hoodie see our. Politicians Three ThousandThree Thousand remember only a very few a quarter million under spotlights doesnt have any math ok and child there correspondent talking to us from Beirut Lebanon thank you so much britain and the European Union have laid out plans for a two year transition period calling the u. K. s exit from the e. U. The deal includes british concessions which will allow it to stay in the Single Market and Customs Union until the end of Two Thousand And Twenty l. A deal does not remove the uncertainty surrounding britains long term status but it does provide businesses and residents with Breathing Room for the next three years. A rare sight the two chief brags that negotiators were all smiles and feel of mutual compliments it might be to air the to call it
a breakthrough but it is hoped it will prevent a socalled hard brags that what it will do you have after is a life or a transition period until the end of twenty twenty thanks to concessions from the british. During this transition period person will no longer participate in each Decision Making because it will no longer be a member of the e. U. As of March ThirtiethTwo Thousand Nine Hundred but it will continue to benefit from all the advantages of the Single Market and the Customs Union and it will abide by all. If youre not sure unique unions and industrial associations throughout europe have been sounding mornings about the m. Pact of a hard break that mondays provides for a twenty one month transition period when g ts an expert barriers will not be applied after preston leaves the e. U. Next year. Businesses leave decisions all rushed through Contingency Plans based on guesses about the future the. One key issue that remains unresolved is the
border between ireland an e. U. Member a Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. Nevertheless theres strong hope that the other twenty seven e. U. Leaders will endorse the Transition Deal later this week. Well over to Christophe Europe Hasnt Given Up hope of getting an exemption from new u. S. Tariffs right area took some hard lobbying but a compromise could be reached during this week thats according to germanys new Economy MinisterPeter Altmire hes in washington for talks with the u. S. Secretary of commerce wilbur ross after which he said it is still possible to reach at least a provisional solution which could avoid a decline into a heavy trade conflict new u. S. Terrorists on steel and the men. Are set to come into effect by friday. Hes only just arrived in office but the newly minted German Economy minister is already faced with a difficult mission. Must avoid
a trade war with the United States. This. Theres a lot at stake here jobs in germany and europe the trade relationship with the United States as well as the Trade Architecture of the whole world oh take two or innovate in. The new tariffs come into force on friday and in some ways the german and european Steel Industries could simply sit back and relax after all steel and aluminum make up only a very small proportion of european exports to the us and yet the e. U. Will be the Trading Partner to be hit hardest by the new taxes. The e. U. As a whole all twenty eight countries would have six point Five Billion Dollars worth of steel and aluminum exports affected by the new tariffs its followed by china with an Export Volume of around Three Billion dollars germany would pay taxes on a total of one point Seven Billion dollars worth of such exports each year making
it the country most affected from within the e. U. Some experts warn that the new tariffs might herald the beginning of a cascade of others which will spread across further sectors and countries the european Steel Industry fears that europe may soon be flooded with cheap steel imports it being an alternative cheaper dumping ground. Chinese premier league appealed to washington to knock act quote emotionally and avoid disrupting trade over Steel Technology and other disputes promising that beijing will be open wider to imports and investment nice said further that no one can emerge the winner in a trade war he was speaking on the sidelines of Chinas National Peoples Congress the number two chinese leader made no mention of a possible chinese response in the event that u. S. President donald trump raises Import Barriers and he hopes all parties act rationally wasnt being led by emotions and that china doesnt want to see
a trade war. Well for more lets bring in Catherine Yang shes a Investment Director for equities of stability international and she joins me from hong kong good to have you on the program catherine chinas premier urges the United States not to act emotionally on trade has we had any signs from beijing as to how it plans to deal with the us President Donald Trump and the prospect of a possible trade war. If we look at the recent tariffs that were announced by the us so steel an aluminum am when we put it in terms of total production its actually very very small so about zero point one percent of total production still wise it goes the us about two percent for aluminum and so whilst the impact is minimal in terms of these two industries it could be the beginning of a dialogue or discussions about other sectors and tariffs on both sides so in fact the big risk for the market is these ongoing Trade Discussions in the United StatesMany Companies have urged President Trump to refrain from slapping terrorist
specifically on chinese imports has that resonated in china. At this stage with the whole process regarding the National Peoples congress the m. P. C. With us being in china in terms of the earning season theres a lot of domestic focus what is interesting though is with some of the struggling state owned enterprises what we call s. O. We theres some mixed ownership reform going on and its sort of being highlighted that the chinese are very open to foreign entities actually taking part in this make the ownership reforms so you could begin to see more new supply which could benefit u. S. Companies as well as other foreign companies. Beijing has appointed several new leaders for the finance and economic cabinet including a new head of the Peoples Bank Of China you get a receipt pards have his education in the United States is he the right person for the job. It was very much expected by the market so no big surprise if
we look at his background he has a very strong academic background so he went to the University Of Peking in china and then actually went to the University Of Illinois spent about a decade in china before starting the u. S. Before turning to china hes been with the central bank the p. B. s c. Since Nine Hundred Ninety Seven more recently as the Deputy Governor so a lot of alignment and consistency regarding prudent Monetary Policy is expected in the foreseeable future and now that these several new figures have been appointed from your perspective how will chinas economy and Capital Market develop. In terms of what the government is really focusing on theres also been the appointment of a vice premier who again has got good u. S. Trade relations so hes likely to well there was likely to see more of him and regards to Trade Discussions but hes also been appointed as the head of the Financial Stability and Development Commission and this new regulatory body which with established last year is going to really be forging ahead with financial
regulation so in order to see growth continue albeit at a slower pace we do need to see a better Regulatory Framework and that is likely to be the case this year has been yang of Fidelity International joining me from Long Kong Catherine thank you for your insight facebook shares have taking a bit of tape because on the stock market the shaving more than Thirty Billion dollars off the value of the company the nearly seven percent tumble marks the stocks biggest drop in four years behind it is the recent controversy over cambridge and the legs alleged spying of Fifty Million facebook customers which Hasnt Turned Sparks demands for increased regulation for Large Tech Companies and of course theres the issue of trust with some users already volleying to stop using the social network.
