thank you so much for joining us. the standoff between china and the u.s. over trade has taken a turn for the worse at the stroke of midnight washington time the u.s. increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of imports from china that's an increase from ten to twenty five percent the move comes as the two sides fail to reach an agreement at talks in the u.s. because she says all set to continue today to try to break the impasse now u.s. president donald trump outlined some of the sticking points you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china we've been paid jonah five hundred billion dollars a year for many many years china rebuilt their country because of us i don't blame them i blame our past leadership for allowing this to half of what i'm doing now with china should have happened many years ago not just obama long before obama . that china for its part has vowed to strike back speaking ahead of the talks china's lead negotiator vice premier new her said increasing tariffs on chinese goods would not solve anything. short of that is twenty or five come here in good faith china believes given the current circumstances adding further tariffs is not a good way to solve any problems it's not favorable for china it's not five or both for the us nor is it favorable for the world if you were to. say no breakthrough so far my colleague stephen basely from business is here to break this down for us stephen the trade talks are set to continue later on friday and yet tariffs have gone into effect now what is it that washington is trying to make aging do with these measures basically submit to their will in a sense what they've wanted here has always sort of been a large package from beijing they want them to consume more american goods basically to even the trade deficit between the two countries or to bring it down i should say and they also want promises on things like intellectual property theft which they say chinese commits a regular process a lot of countries say this is way of increasing its own technological prowess and they also want an action against things like cyber theft and cyber war as well so as you can see in the crease in the trade deficit and taking care of intellectual property guarantees these are very difficult things and where these agreements seem to have broken down or what seems what sort of sparked this backlash from the us is that the china was that china was starting to suggest that some of these would be hard to enforce a deal for stability mechanisms they were sort of backing away from what it sounds like and from the beginning analysts had said enforcing things like intellectual property regulations in china cyber theft all this is going to be very difficult data collection from u.s. firms in china that's going to be difficult to enforce and that seems of sort of prompted this ok so what about the repercussions what do these types mean for us. as humans for the u.s. economy well consumers will likely see price increases in the coming months it won't be immediate they're not going to go into wal-mart tomorrow and see that their favorite items that increase these tariffs are hitting a range of products everything from bicycle parts to the rubber gasket so some of these are items that consumers will buy directly a lot of them will p. passed on to them by businesses who have already maybe eaten the ten percent tariff that this that was on these products before that twenty five percent more and more of them are going to have to pass along those costs to consumers if they want to stay afloat and so that's what is expected when you see this tariff increase is that they can't say anymore all right we'll take this one on but now it's going to be the consumers are going to have to take this so it will be interesting to see what their responses and what about retaliation from china what can we expect it'll be interesting to see i mean you can't underestimate them they're massive economy and amounts of power but at the same time the u.s. really seems to hold more cards here china's economic indicators are really down and frankly more on the u.s. when it comes to its export economy it needs that main buyer and if the u.s. is going to really start hitting it china is more sensitive frankly to it than the u.s. is to counter measures all right stephen hadley from the business thank you so much thank you ron. ok let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world former u.s. army intelligence analyst chelsea

report to clerical sexual abuse and cover ups the papal decree covers abuse of children and adults onset subsystems for reporting abuse and protecting whistle blows. every nun in each priest or no obligated to report sexual abuse and they're required to inform church authorities if they suspect abuse this is. but one of many steps pope francis is planning to implement in his attempt to combat this problem. it's very important to now have unified and universal standards for the church in the past countries have taken different approaches now it's set procedures have been set time limits have been set it's an important step not the first but also not the last the new church law requires that all dioceses around the world have a system in place for victims to report abuse by two thousand and twenty all types of abuse must be prosecuted victims protected and investigations completed within ninety days well victims' groups support the law many feel it doesn't go far enough for i am glad if one question remains namely how reports of abuse will be passed on to prosecutors the pope's law does not make it obligatory to report to all work with your thorough it is and at least here in germany is for police and for state prosecutors who are responsible for investigating and solving such crimes and he said. the following the vatican's abuse conference in february critics demanded a hard line against abuse in the catholic church the new church law comes into effect on june first but it only runs for three years. all right we're going to take you to south africa now

the a.n.c. is on course for its was before wins in a national poll in its twenty five years in government and the vote is the first test of public sentiment since president cyril ramaphosa replaced

number of people have been arrested and the main opposition democratic alliance policy says it wants a review of the outcome on saturday christian one has more from johannesburg. we're outside the african national congress is headquarters and while the results of final results as much as ours that it's pretty clear that the a.n.c. will retain its majority by what margin will only be known on saturday will be expects the final result but that might not happen because there is a video that has gone viral in south africa and that is off a voter a gentleman who voted in the day wiping off the ink that voters will mocked with on his stem now the implication of that is if he was able to do that potentially others did too and were able to float twice now it's a big talking point chair the electoral commission has held several briefings addressing questions on the matter from journalists we are downtown in johannesburg do you still have your income your thumb can you show to us some people say that people were able to avoid twice because the in came off no no i'm to avoid two eyes would once and biggest the ok and i'm told is just one of many people who say they voted you say and ink is still on the if into and didn't think this much to these allegations up and coming off that some people think that this is a serious issue that needs to be investigated because it could potentially have all the final results of the election has to be visited in no before we finalize the counting of the food because of it's affecting the results of the voting procedures to be investigated so that through good the court results because no if the people who have voted we're going to have to put it to. the results you took the engulfed that was easy yes it was easy do you

for three years in that time rival service lift his come on the scene meaning greater competition you a customer as it used to be relatively easy to just go online you know turn the up on and go online and know that you would make decent money and now it's having to be more strategic with it in terms of where and when i drive strategy is key for troy he doesn't benefit from employee protections like health insurance a pension plan paid leave or a guaranteed minimum wage or recently cut his pay these days. sixty cents a mile and about thirteen dollars an hour around hoff and what he used to make now what she's every cent to stay profitable off the car expenses it's definitely affected how much i drive because when they cut rate city and also if gas prices go up i'm very selective about when i drive because it's not really financially worthwhile for me to drive it's also i do other things like getting cheap gas looking for deals. these days troy has more down time than he used to and on wednesday he went on strike in solidarity with other drivers around the world who are also frustrated by wages and working conditions as the company capacity go public i know
