The Government dismisses claims that a new Chinese steel tariff

:00:00.:00:00.

Ministers say the new 46% tariff will have limited impact

:00:07.:00:13.

but they remain under pressure to support UK plants

:00:14.:00:16.

Obviously some of these treatments used are banned on the professional

yachtswoman swept to her death The Government has dismissed China's

move to impose a 46% tariff on some types of steel despite the crisis

in the UK industry. Ministers say the new tariff,

running at a loss of millions of pounds a week partly

because of cheap imported Our Business Correspondent

Joe Lynam reports. This Tata owned plant in Newport

:01:36.:01:41.

in Wales makes the kind of specialist steel which now faces

:01:42.:01:45.

tariffs of up to 46% in China. Like the neighbouring

:01:46.:01:50.

factory in Port Talbot, it's been put up for sale

:01:51.:01:52.

by its Indian owners, something which could affect

:01:53.:01:55.

the livelihoods of thousands It's just another nail

:01:56.:01:58.

in the coffin, if you ask me. How much more are the workforce

:01:59.:02:02.

going to be able to take? UK steelworkers have been caught up

:02:03.:02:08.

in much wider global trade patterns. Chinese overproduction's halved

:02:09.:02:16.

the price that UK producers get for steel and made

:02:17.:02:20.

them unprofitable. And now Britain could be dragged

:02:21.:02:24.

into a trade war with China. with President Xi

Jinping on Thursday. Britain's blocked efforts at EU

level to impose high emergency In its defence, the Government says

:02:35.:02:39.

tariffs imposed a few years ago on some types of Chinese steel have

:02:40.:02:45.

succeeded in cutting But how important is steel

:02:46.:02:48.

in Britain's trade relationship with Well Britain exported ?14 billion

:02:49.:02:53.

worth of goods to China in 2014, steel accounts for ?71 million

:02:54.:02:58.

or just half of 1% of those exports. Britain's total exports to China

:02:59.:03:04.

have doubled since 2010, making China Britain's sixth

:03:05.:03:08.

biggest trading partner. Overall, trade is now worth a huge

:03:09.:03:12.

?57 billion each year, so is it worth risking Britain's

:03:13.:03:16.

relationship with China over steel? I do not think the British

:03:17.:03:22.

Government wants to go war with China, trade war certainly,

:03:23.:03:26.

on the issue of steel. Steel is too small for us

:03:27.:03:28.

to realistically care about. We need that Chinese

:03:29.:03:31.

investment in many areas, We have seen some heavy investment

:03:32.:03:35.

coming through there. In terms of steel, it is a very

:03:36.:03:40.

small part of the equation for us. It's against this backdrop that

:03:41.:03:44.

Tata Steel hopes to find a buyer for all or part of its UK business

:03:45.:03:47.

which is losing ?1 million a day. If it fails, some of these furnaces

:03:48.:03:52.

could go cold for ever. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor

:03:53.:03:59.

Garnier is in Westminster. The Government has played down

:04:00.:04:02.

China's move, but it has other reasons for not wanting

:04:03.:04:05.

to fall out with Beijing? Yes. The Government's accused of not

:04:06.:04:16.

taking robust enough action against this flood of cheap Chinese steel

:04:17.:04:21.

because it apparently is more interested in wooing Chinese

:04:22.:04:25.

investment for other projects like the Hinkley point nuclear power

:04:26.:04:29.

plant. But ministers have defended their handling of the steel crisis,

:04:30.:04:33.

saying they oppose the raising of some EU tariffs because they thought

:04:34.:04:39.

higher prices could damage other British industry like car

:04:40.:04:42.

manufacturing, a big steel consumer. But this latest move by China is an

:04:43.:04:47.

embarrassment for the Government. It is an embarrassment for the

:04:48.:04:51.

Government because David Cameron had only just spoken to the Chinese

:04:52.:04:56.

President about his concerns when the Chinese slapped on these new

:04:57.:05:01.

tariffs and, at the heart of all this, thousands of workers across

:05:02.:05:07.

the industry tonight are still facing an uncertain future. Sajid

:05:08.:05:15.

Javid will be on the Andrew Marr Show tomorrow at 9 disam on BBC One.

:05:16.:05:19.

It's emerged tonight that the Government has ordered

:05:20.:05:21.

an inquiry into the UK Anti Doping Agency over claims made

:05:22.:05:24.

by a doctor that he's supplied over 100 athletes,

:05:25.:05:26.

including Premier League footballers,

:05:27.:05:28.

with performance-enhancing substances.

:05:29.:05:31.

An investigation by the Sunday Times claims that Dr Mark Bonar has

:05:32.:05:35.

charged top sports stars thousands of pounds for doping products.

:05:36.:05:38.

It suggests allegations about Dr Bonar's activities weren't

:05:39.:05:40.

properly investigated by the anti-doping authorities.

:05:41.:05:43.

Dr Bonar told the paper he was treating the sports stars

:05:44.:05:46.

for medical conditions and he denies trying to help them

:05:47.:05:49.

Our Correspondent Daniela Relph is here.

:05:50.:05:54.

What more can you tell us about these claims?

:05:55.:06:00.

Well, Dr Mark Bonar is based at a private clinic in London. The Sunday

:06:01.:06:07.

Times claims he has a network of secret clients that include an

:06:08.:06:10.

England cricketer, British cyclists, tennis players and Premier League

:06:11.:06:13.

footballers. Now, we should say at this stage that there is no

:06:14.:06:16.

suggestion that any Premier League club is aware of any alleged

:06:17.:06:21.

wrongdoing. The papers secretly filmed the doctor claiming that he

:06:22.:06:27.

had prescribed substances that included steroids, EPO, human growth

:06:28.:06:32.

hormone, to 150 sports professionals over six years, although paper

:06:33.:06:35.

itself has no independent evidence of this. The doctor himself denies

:06:36.:06:40.

all the allegations, saying he was treating the clients for medical

:06:41.:06:44.

reasons, not to enhance their performance in any way. The added

:06:45.:06:49.

element is that the Sunday Times investigation came via a

:06:50.:06:52.

whistleblower who said he told the UK Anti-Doping Agency about Dr Bonar

:06:53.:06:56.

two years ago in. Response to this, the agency says it tried to launch

:06:57.:07:01.

an investigation back then but because the doctor wasn't governed

:07:02.:07:04.

by any particular sport, it couldn't take the matter any further. What

:07:05.:07:09.

are the implications of all of this? This story broadens the scope of Al

:07:10.:07:14.

doping allegations in sport. It's been very much focussed on

:07:15.:07:17.

athletics, particularly the widespread doping programme in

:07:18.:07:20.

Russia. Significantly, the Sunday Times report draws in premiership

:07:21.:07:23.

football which will cause some concern. What it also does is raise

:07:24.:07:27.

questions about the work and the power of the UK Anti-Doping Agency.

:07:28.:07:31.

The agency itself has told the BBC tonight it will be launching an

:07:32.:07:34.

independent review that will be aloneside the Government inquiry

:07:35.:07:39.

that's been ordered by the Culture Secretary, John Whittingdale.

:07:40.:07:39.

Thank you. Two days before Turkey is due

:07:40.:07:41.

to start receiving migrants sent back from Greece, there's concern

:07:42.:07:44.

that it seems unprepared to do so. The deportations, which will start

:07:45.:07:47.

on Monday, follow an EU agreement to try to stem the numbers coming

:07:48.:07:49.

into Europe from Syria Our Correspondent Mark Lowen has

:07:50.:07:52.

been to the town of Dikili in Turkey, to where the first

:07:53.:07:56.

migrants will be returned. They came with a

:07:57.:08:03.

message of defiance. The Turkish town of Dikili will see

:08:04.:08:06.

the first batch arrive on Monday deported from Lesbos

:08:07.:08:12.

across the Aegean. But locals here object to any camp

:08:13.:08:14.

and have vowed to resist. Here is a peaceful place

:08:15.:08:19.

in Dikili in Turkey. But when they come here,

:08:20.:08:23.

we are not peaceful. Because they are here,

:08:24.:08:28.

they don't belong to here. TRANSLATION: Our children

as Barbara Plett-Usher reports. Good afternoon everybody,

if we could get started. This was President Obama's last big

push for global nuclear security. But the threat of nuclear terrorism

madmen ever got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear

:11:12.:11:20.

material, they most certainly would use it to kill as many

:11:21.:11:24.

innocent people as possible. And that's why our work

:11:25.:11:26.

here remains so critical. The single most effective defence

:11:27.:11:29.

against nuclear terrorism is fully securing this material so it doesn't

concerned about the crew - And we are doing our best to make

:13:39.:13:41.

things as easy as we can for them, keep them on a programme,

:13:42.:13:48.

so they can focus on that and keep their minds

:13:49.:13:51.

of this loss a bit. The other thing is, I want to know

:13:52.:13:54.

exactly why Sarah was not tied on. Sarah had been tidying up

:13:55.:13:57.

in the cockpit when she fell backwards and was swept under

:13:58.:14:00.

the guard wire by a wave. Her body was recovered

:14:01.:14:03.

just over an hour later. There have only been two fatalities

:14:04.:14:06.

in the 20 year history of the Clipper Race,

:14:07.:14:10.

both of them on the same yacht. Last September, Andrew Ashman,

:14:11.:14:13.

a paramedic from Kent, died off the Portuguese coast

:14:14.:14:17.

after being knocked unconscious. Race organisers say safety

:14:18.:14:22.

is the most important aspect of the crew members'

:14:23.:14:25.

four weeks of training. Sarah Young was a keen adventurer

:14:26.:14:30.

who had been on many expeditions. Although an amateur yachtswoman,

:14:31.:14:35.

she had spent most of the seven months at sea, sailing nearly

:14:36.:14:39.

halfway around the world. Organisers say the incident will be

:14:40.:14:41.

investigated thoroughly in cooperation with the authorities

:14:42.:14:44.

to see what lessons can be learned. With all the sport, here's
