The government has dismissed China's move to impose a 46% tariff | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
on some types of steel - despite the crisis | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Ministers say the new tariff, on high-grade steel, | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
The government remains under pressure after Tata announced it | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
planned to sell all its UK steel interests, including | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
the plant at Port Talbot, which has been running at a loss | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
of millions of pounds a week - partly because of cheap | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam reports. | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
This Tata owned plant in Newport in Wales makes the kind of specialist | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
steel which now faces tariffs of up to 46% in China. Like the | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
neighbouring factory in Port Talbot it's been put up for sale by its | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Indian owners, something which could affect the livelihoods of thousands | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
of local workers. It's just another nail in the cough and if you ask me. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
How much more can we take, how much more of the workforce going to be | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
able to take? How much more can they do? UK Steelworkers have been caught | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
up in much wider global trade patterns. Chinese overproduction has | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
halved the price UK producers get for steel and made them | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
unprofitable. Now Britain could be dragged into a trade war with China. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
David Cameron raised the Chinese tariffs issue with President Xi | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Jinping on Thursday. Britain has blocked efforts at EU level to | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
impose high emergency tariffs on Chinese steel. In its defence the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
government says tariffs imposed a few years ago on some types of | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Chinese steel have succeeded in cutting imports right up to 90%. How | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
important is steel in Britain's trade relationship with China? But | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
an exported ?14 billion of goods to China in 2014. Steel accounts for | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
?71 million, just half of 1% of those exports. Britain's total | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
exports to China have doubled since 2010 making China's Britain's sixth | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
biggest trading partner. Overall trade is worth a huge ?57 billion | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
each year. So is it worth risking Britain's relationship with China | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
over steel? I don't think the British government wants to go to | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
war with China, trade was certainly, on the issue of steel. Steel is too | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
small for us to realistically care about, we need the Chinese | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
investment in many areas especially the utility sector, we've seen heavy | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
investment coming through there. In terms of steel it's a very small | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
part of the equation for us. It's this backdrop Tata steel intends to | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
find investors for its business. If it fails some of these furnaces | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
If it fails some of these furnaces could go cold for ever. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is in Westminster. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
The government has played down China's move, but it has other | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
reasons for not wanting to fall out with Beijing? | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Yes, there are accusations the government isn't taking sufficiently | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
robust action against the flood of cheap Chinese steel because it's | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
more interested in wooing Chinese investment for projects like the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Hinkley point nuclear power plant. Critics suggesting the government is | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
putting its trade relationship with China ahead of the UK steel | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
industry. Ministers have defended their handling of this crisis, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
saying that they opposed raising some EU tariffs because it could | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
have damaged other British industries like car manufacturing, a | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
big steel consumer. But this move by China is embarrassing for the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
government, the Chinese slapped on this new tariff just hours after | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
David Cameron had raised his concerns over the steel crisis with | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
the Chinese president at a summit in Washington. And at the centre of all | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
this thousands of workers in the industry still unclear tonight, | :04:21. | :04:21. | |
still unclear tonight, still facing an uncertain future. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
And the Business secretary Sajid Javid will be | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
President Obama has warned that the possibility of self-styled | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Islamic State obtaining a nuclear weapon is "one of the greatest | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Speaking at the end of a Nuclear Security Summit | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
in Washington, he insisted that concrete steps must be taken | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
to prevent nuclear terrorism, as Barbara Plett-Usher reports. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Good afternoon everybody, if we could get started? | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
This was President Obama's last big push for global nuclear security. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
But the threat of nuclear terrorism looms | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
The Brussels attacks focussed the minds of | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
With growing concerns about the so-called Islamic State, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
it's claimed the group has already used chemical | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
There is no doubt that if these madmen ever | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material, | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
they most certainly would use it to kill as many innocent | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
That's why our work here remains so critical. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
The single most effective defence against nuclear terrorism | :05:36. | :05:36. | |
is fully securing this material so it doesn't fall into the wrong | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
More conventional threats were also on | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
the agenda, especially North Korea's continued testing of nuclear | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
It defiantly fired a missile during the Washington | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
summit, but blamed the United States for the tensions on the Korean | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
United States is trying to turn white into black. | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
Describing, as if the countermeasures taken | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
They said it is a threat and it is a provocation. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Much will depend on the attitude of China's president Xi | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
He was urged by Barack Obama to increase the pressure on Pyongyang. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
The meetings wound up with announcements of new steps | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
to secure or reduce nuclear stockpiles, but a key player, | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
Russia's president Vladimir Putin, was missing from the family photo | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
because of current political tensions. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
A stark reminder of the summit's limits. | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
President Obama began these high-level | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
meetings six years ago to tackle the threat of nuclear material that | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Much has been accomplished, but not enough. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
And with the rise of groups like Islamic State, the fear | :06:50. | :06:51. | |

The crew of a yacht taking part in a round the world race says it | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
will continue - despite one of its members being swept overboard | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
It's emerged that Sarah Young, who was from London, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
wasn't attached to a safety line when a wave hit her | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Because I want to know exactly why Sarah was not tied on, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
because every single member of our crew has come | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
because every single member of our crew has | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
as part of their life jacket, which they wear on deck, | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
If that had been clipped on, she'd be alive now. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
And I want to know why it wasn't clipped on. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Trouble is, the only person who can really answer that is Sarah herself. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
The Syrian Army says it's discovered a mass grave with around 40 bodies | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Palmyra was recently recaptured by government forces | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
A UK-based human rights group says IS executed nearly 300 | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
people during its occupation of the ancient city. | :07:56. | :07:56. | |
Three employees of an Indian construction firm have appeared | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
in court charged in connection with the collapse of a flyover | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
At least 26 people died as a section of the flyover fell | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
Five other staff from the company are being questioned. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
There was a hostile atmosphere at Villa Park this afternoon as Aston | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
Villa lost to Chelsea in the Premier League. Villa, who parted company | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
with manager Remi Garde this week, are 15 points away from safety with | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
six games of the season remaining. The Villa players were booed off the | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
pitch at the end of their 4-0 defeat to Chelsea. Norwich boosted their | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
hopes of staying up with a late 3-2 win over fellow strugglers | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Newcastle. Sunderland remain in the relegation zone after a goalless | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
draw with West Brompton. At the top end of the table third and fourth | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
placed Arsenal and Manchester city both won with 4-0 scoreline. Problem | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
to bee Tottenham second, playing Liverpool at the moment. Celtic have | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to seven | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
points after a 3-1 win over Hearts, who are third. Hearts took an early | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
lead but Patrick Roberts scored his first two goals for Celtic as they | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
came back to claim victory. Dundee moved into the top six with 5-2 | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
victory over Ross County. Winds for Motherwell and Dundee United. Lewis | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Hamilton will be on pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix tomorrow, | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
the second race of this Formula 1 season. The Mercedes driver got the | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
fastest lap ever in Bahrain, edging out Nico Rosberg. Sebastian Vettel | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
will start in third place. For my golf and one Tiger Woods would play | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
in next weeks Masters because of a back injury that has kept him out of | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
the sport since August. Woods, who last won the Masters in 2005, says | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
he is not physically ready to compete again. The second time in | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
three years he has mist the first major of the season. 20-year-old | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Charlie Hull is two shots off the lead at the halfway stage of the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
