Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us u. S. President donald trump has called on china to pressure north korea to give up its Nuclear Weapons program hes been to his chinese counterpart paying in beijing part of a marathon tour of asia trump received a red carpet welcome arriving for talks on a range of thorny issues with trade and north korea at the top of the agenda president xi pledged that china would persist with the goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula tromp urging him to act fast lets listen in to what trump had to say the United States is committed to the complete and permanent denuclearization of north korea so important china can fix this problem easily and quickly and i am calling on china and your great president to hopefully work on it very hard i know one thing about your prose is that if he works on it hard it will happen theres no doubt about it lets get more now on the statements from these two World Leaders we are joined from beijing by do vary on Mathias Bollinger so much tell us the first press statements after nearly two days of informal talks and formal talks we also have to mention from these two leaders what should we make of what they have to say. Well what we have seen is that atmospherically this visit has been extremely friendly both have been very cautious towards each other both have emphasized their common interests their Common Ground their personal sympathy. Substantially we have not seen and the big progress in the topic neither in the north korea issue nor in the trade which i want to drill down a little bit deeper talking about that north korea issue because were going to talk about trade a little bit later when it comes to north korea the United States obviously wants china to do more to pressure north korea in order to resolve the conflict there can you tell us a little bit more about the methods and the strategies the translight of use this time around and what the results might have been. Well. The u. S. Is convinced that china has the key to the solution of the north korean crisis and that enough pressure from china boards leads to a change in policy to the start of the Nuclear Program on the Korean Peninsula china on the other hand is first of all. Not interested in establishing the reason and secondly its probably not cvs itself as much as influential as a one would like to be towards the north korean regime so what we have is that both sides repeated yes stance on this. Issue and. Now with. Us is pressuring china to work and. Sources you know china has. Ok our correspondent there Mathias Ballinger joining us from beijing and mathias we actually cant really hear you very well at the moment of so were going to try and get that line back up in order to communicate with you further as were seeing there u. S. President onil tromp and chinese president xi jinping basically walking there during a ceremony and as we just mentioned a short while ago they they had made a number of statements to the press mathias was telling us a little bit more about that. Radhika jones is joining us here in the studio now getting more on the business side of all of this because of course you know the trade balance always an issue especially for the United States this is something the trouble also there are certainly since donald trump is u. S. President you remember the times when we talked about a possible looming trade war theyre. Paying of course and donald trump theyve Just Announced a twenty two hundred fifty billion u s dollar deal business deal a further sign off the relationship the of the two men that they have possibly struck now certainly since their first meeting at stroms mar a lago resort in florida that was back in april now things have not always been so rosy the u. S. President has accused beijing in the past of unfair trading practices and he has threatened to china with tariffs lets take a look at this last year the United States exported goods worth only one hundred sixteen billion u. S. Dollars to china however because many u. S. Companies now manufacture there the u. S. Imported about four times that value of goods from china situation is different with regards to chinas direct investment in the United States though Chinese Foreign direct investment in the u. S. Has grown rapidly in recent years and hit forty six billion dollars in two thousand and sixteen but this Year Investment by Chinese Companies dropped significantly down sixty seven percent in the first three quarters compared to two south thousand and sixteen now we were hoping to talk to my ts in beijing i dont know if we still have him on the line and we do so much. Standing by beijing good to have you here with us does this deal this business deal mean that the days of a looming trade war between the u. S. And china over. Not at all these kind of trade deals these signatures of contracts in the presence of president s this is part of the protocol of Chinese State visits so what we can see is just. There has been theres this this is a symbolic signature some of these are just memorandums of understanding we dont know whether these deals will ever happen some of them are trade years that happen anyway but that have spoken the signature has been postponed there was no whatsoever substantial agreement on the structural issues of the trade thats what i mean there is this the apec summit taking place in vietnam this week on a trunkful attended as well as give a speech there tomorrow and now he pulled the u. S. Out of the Transpacific Partnership pacific rim nations however still interested in going ahead with it how does this lets call it new a better relationship between washington and beijing impact d. P. P. Well the idea is to to to conclude the agreement even without the u. S. It was see how attractive this will be to smaller nations that of course. The u. S. Was a major effect its a major market would have convinced people to join this whether this was still be the case without the u. S. We would see we dont know at all i wouldnt see substantial change just due to this visit. As as none of these these structural issues between the u. S. And china right spilling over there via skype from beijing thank you so much for this. Now eighteen t. s plan to takeover offer time warner has been held up by the u. S. Justice department raising speculation of political payback from washington eighty and t. V. And time warner had hoped to conclude the eighty five billion dollars deal by the end of the year but some lawmakers are concerned about a concentrating or concentrating too much power in the hands of the Telecom Giant so authorities house reportedly told to the company must sell some assets before the deal goes through including the c n n news channel which is owned by time warner u. S. President on a trump is a fierce critic of c. N. N. And its coverage of course of his administration and a new owner might not be able to finance its reporting resources a t. N. T. Says it remains confident the takeover will go through as planned. Well back to the story of the Paradise Papers e. U. Commission a scoby chief says that Member States can and will do much more to fight tax havens a top priority is the creation of a blacklist to name and shame jurisdictions that cater to wealthy firms and individuals yet the e. U. Has been working for two years on similar measures with limited success consensus remains a challenge especially among members with low tax rates of their own the head of the European Commission joint clergy younker is himself accused of aiding tax avoidance that was as at this time as luxembourg Prime Minister and my colleague Daniel Venter put it to mr musgrave h. E. That this gives the commission zero credibility in fighting tax dodging. Absolutely false this commission has done more on fighting back through the tax evasion than all the commissions in the previous twenty years you know if you employ you dont think it had waited minutes its not due to the fact that this or that person ids here due to the fact that we are in the new when the new area new period which is a period of transparency i have proposed that i am the tax commissioner and i have got full trust of them could you i act in these name i have proposed eleven proposals directives among them six have been adopted which is not that easy if you consider what is the rule of unanimity inside the e. U. We have the best three thing ever for a commission chose to commissioners michael did not go to this tiger and myself who are really i think a team which is did he get into that text of massive tax avoidance you know you can say that in two thousand and three he encouraged amazon to put its tax base in knox and im talking about the president of the commission and president of the commission and this commission we are i can say that quietly but very confident keep the champions of fighting tax fraud and tax evasion we talked about this is a Commission Proposal i will mention two other proposals to one is the first one is is that i think that the activity of those intermediaries legal advisers. Or fiscal advisors banks it must be made transparent to the next administration and this one is that we have already established a country by country reporting this is one of the six directives i mentioned but between tax administrations i would like it to become public i think there is no a position between investment which we want to protect the event you want to look at her and say yes because transparency if you want. Burnsy is the only way to tackle with those phenomena if we can reach our goal but when you are addressing what you are looking for how will this affect the average person in europe who is watching this right now if you do manage to get what you want and close these tax loopholes and blacklist these tax havens i think that what we are attending now with those Paradise Papers which is a scandal but probably those practices are mostly legal but they are not moral this cannot be possible why because it exists only because it is even and certainly it is revealed if it is transparent if it is public it is not possible anymore you know all those people all the structures all those companies all those states which today named and shamed after the brothers paper if their activity would be immediately made public then they would be much much more for thats why transparency is the massive destruction weapon against tax evasion against tax aggressive tax planning and thats why this commission is so so strong on france broke the you could commission right and you mentioned the threat the potential threat of sanctions what are we talking about here are we talking about fines directly for a few who try and squirrel away their money in tax havens are we all its ok because unless theres a significant legal threat theyre going to continue to say tax avoidance is a misdemeanor were not talking about firms were talking about the states when you have a blacklist of tax even you are talking about the states or territories revanche and some of them are into the ground but there are those states will be which will be listed and i hope that we will have a very. Strong list strong by pleased the sanctions must be linked to our own capacity to their own linkage with the union i would mention for example a world create deals or multilateral or Bilateral Agreements that we have got with them that can be suspended but the best thing should the strongest action is the name and shame ok release me nobody nobody would like to be there and in one word are we now finally going to see significant change and cracking down on tax havens under your leadership in this case its not up to me to decide that you know the commission as a prominent role because we have the monopoly of the initiative and we have taken so many just as i mentioned three of them and believe me if they become decisions that would be different but but the ball is in the camp of the Member States its up to them to decide they have to decide they have to deliver and it will have a vision and it really has to deliver but i hold the end of this year two thousand and seventeen is the year of easy thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us today and i was commissioned up you must be she talking to my colleague daniel with a little bit. That was a frenchman talking to a brit british politics currently going through a pretty rough time another shake up for tourism is government check this out monica the hits just keep on coming because u. K. International Development Secretary pretty tell has resigned it is the second high profile departure from Prime Minister teresa mayes cabinet in just a week but tell admitted to holding at least twelve on authorized leavings with israeli politicians including Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu during what was supposed to be a vacation in israel but tell has apologized for her actions this is yet another major blow for teresa mayes government which is facing several crises including Sexual Harassment allegations and a stalled brags that. Lets get more now from london we are joined by data is very unfair good master so good just walk us through the reasons behind patels resignation well left effectively being the sport of freelance Foreign Policy thats reason may you nothing about as you said it was on a holiday on a family holiday that the pretty patel met several israeli officials behind to resume a spec but its not just that she did that but also the way she went about it because she has initially when the revelations were on earth by british media she had said that the foreign secretary bros junction knew about it but then later she withdrew that claim also there were fresh revelations that she was checking out the possibility of sending aid money to the occupant Golan Heights so there were there was just sort of a trickle of further revelations that eventually had to lead to her resignation her departure what is this likely to mean ultimately for the government of Prime Minister theresa may how important to it was she. Well its in every cabinet its like a balance so youre trying to balance man and women she was a woman she was also the only woman in the cabinet of ethnic minority also she was a bricks a tear she is a bricks a tear and pretty much on the right of the comes out of party and as such of course it is feared and possibly also the reason why to reason may didnt force her to resign straight away that there is the fear that she could cause trouble from the backbenches now shes somebody who is known to be extremely ambitious and political commentators here are sure that she is going to come back that shes not just going to all of a sudden vanish from political life but that shes still planning her career and she said to have leadership ambitions even for the conservative party but the question is for two reason may issue you going to do that in a constructive way or is she going to do that in a way that could cause further trouble for tourism may by just plotting at the back benches and maybe plotting. Reason is demise who knows theyre going to mass with the latest from london thank you.
