Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,
this is Outside Source. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
We have just seen the formal
start of a trade war. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
Donald Trump stood alongside steel
workers announced new tarrifs | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
and blamed foreign countries
for flooding the market | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
with Steel and Aluminium. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:29 | |
He blames former American presidents
and foreign countries who are | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
flooding the market. The industry
steel industry has been ravaged by | 0:00:32 | 0:00:42 | |
aggressive foreign trade practices.
It is really an assault on our | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
country. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Up to five million
people stop work in Spain to take | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
part in a day of protest
against unequal pay, sexism, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
and violence against women. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
A Danish inventor denies murdering
a Swedish journalist | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
on board his submarine last summer,
but admits disposing of her body. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
And an Iranian woman
who publicly removed her veil | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
to protest against law
compelling her to wear | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
a hijab, has been jailed
for "encouraging moral corruption". | 0:01:07 | 0:01:15 | |
It's tariff time. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Donald Trump is
at the White House - | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
along with steelworkers
from across the US - | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
to sign a symbolic proclamation
of new tariffs on steel | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
and aluminium imports. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
This is what he's had to say
in the last few minutes. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:53 | |
Before | 0:01:53 | 0:01:53 | |
he | 0:01:54 | 0:01:54 | |
steel is deal. You don't have steel,
you don't have a country. Our | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
industries have been targeted for
years, leading to the shuttered | 0:02:06 | 0:02:15 | |
plants and males, the laying off of
millions of workers. And the | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
decimation of entire communities.
That is going to stop, right? That's | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
going to stop. This is not merely an
economic disaster but a security | 0:02:26 | 0:02:34 | |
disaster. We want to build our
ships, we want to build our planes, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
we want to build our military
equipment with steel, alumina, from | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
our country. Now we are finally
taking action to correct this long | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
overdue problem. It's a travesty.
Today I am defending America's | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
national security. By placing
tariffs on foreign imports of steel, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
and aluminium. We will have a 25%
tariff on foreign steel and a 10% | 0:02:58 | 0:03:06 | |
tariff on foreign aluminium. When
the product comes across our | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
borders. It's a process called
dumping. They dumped more than at | 0:03:11 | 0:03:19 | |
any time on any nation anywhere in
the world, and it drove our plants | 0:03:19 | 0:03:28 | |
out of business, our factories out
of business. We want a lot of steel | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
coming into our country. We want to
be fair. We want our workers to be | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
protected and we want, frankly, our
companies to be protected. By | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
contrast, we will not place any new
tax on product made in the USA. So | 0:03:42 | 0:03:51 | |
no tax if a product is made in the
USA, you don't want to pay tax, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
bring your plant to the USA. There's
no tax. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Our Correspondent,
Gary O'Donoghue is in Washington. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
I would pay more than any few
pennies for the thoughts of | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
officials in Paris, Berlin and so
on. He said some of those you treat | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
in the worst in military in trade
they call allies, or analysed is | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
what they like to call it. He has in
the past singled out Germany in | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
particular, he did that this morning
in a separate event correcting what | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
he sees as their lack of willingness
to pay nothing to the defence | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
budget, even though they are a rich
country. That's probably what he had | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
in mind. There are some very big
decisions to be made in those | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
capitals in the next 15 days, do
they retaliate, do they, as some of | 0:04:39 | 0:04:45 | |
the commissioners in the EU have
said, smack duty on products that | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
come from states represented by
senior Republicans, that was one of | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
the highly bellicose politicised
that that was made already? They | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
will be thinking very hard about
this in Beijing as well. Their steel | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
imports, though they don't directly
export a great deal of steel to | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
America, a lot of Chinese steel does
end up here, coming to third | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
countries. That's what President
Trump was talking about in terms of | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
dumping steel. He says the Chinese
have dumped steel on the world | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
market for a long time. Big
decisions to be made and also, big | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
decisions to be made by the domestic
industries here, do they go full | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
steam ahead now and start opening
smelters and furnaces straightaway? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
Do they see how it goes, we know
that Canada is for the time exempt | 0:05:36 | 0:05:43 | |
from tax. It is America's biggest
importer, exporter of steel. Most of | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
its steel comes from Canada and it
is exempt at moment. It will depend | 0:05:49 | 0:05:56 | |
on the Nafta, the Free Trade
Agreement. In a sense, America | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
holding Canada and Mexico over the
barrel to say, if we don't get the | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
new Nafta deal we want and then you
get these tariffs. It will send | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
enormous reverberations through the
world and you will see trade | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
representatives crisscrossing the
planet trying to work out how to | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
react. Another key moment for me was
when the president talked about | 0:06:18 | 0:06:24 | |
reciprocal tariff arrangements, he
said if India puts this tariff on | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
one of our products, we will put an
equivalent tariff coming back. That | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
really undercuts the whole idea of
free trade where developed | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
countries, by supporting developing
countries, in turn create markets | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
for their own products. You are
right that out in particular because | 0:06:39 | 0:06:45 | |
that is an extra spin on what we've
been hearing in the last few days, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
that has not really been in the play
that until now. That is something | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
that will be highly controversial,
but it is part of what Donald Trump | 0:06:53 | 0:07:00 | |
sees as the fairness. He has a
narrative in his head which goes | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
back a long time, that says America
has already always been on the | 0:07:04 | 0:07:10 | |
receiving end of the wrong deal, has
been far too lax, far too generous | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
with other countries. He used the
example repeatedly during his speech | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
of American cars being taxed at 25%
when they go to China and Chinese | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
cars being taxed at two and a half
percent when they come into the US. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
He said that was going to end, that
had to end. It's a very forthright | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
position to take, it will have
enormous implications, not just in | 0:07:36 | 0:07:43 | |
terms of potential trade wars but
also it could have inflationary | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
concerns here at home, the commerce
Department saying it does not | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
matter, don't worry, steel tariffs
will mean 2 cents on a six-pack is | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
the way they put it but it could
have inflationary pressures on the | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
economy here. Let's talk about the
politics. I want to show everyone | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
watching this a letter signed by
around 100 Republicans were outlined | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
their concerns on tariffs, saying we
are writing about the prospect of | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
broad global tariffs on aluminium,
steel. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
Also seeing some copy telling us the
US Republican Senator Jeff Blake, in | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
fact I can show you that here... I
guess the context we should put in | 0:08:28 | 0:08:37 | |
here is that Senator Flake and the
residents have some history. Yeah, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:46 | |
there is no love lost between
Senator Flake and the president. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Senator Flake is leaving the Senate
this year. He is going to get | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
challenged from the right and will
lose. The interesting point about | 0:08:54 | 0:09:01 | |
that is that Congress does have
powers in terms of trade, and it's | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
one of those powers to the
president, to negotiate things, to | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
impose tariffs like that. It is
possible for Congress to try to take | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
back some of these powers, and that
is certainly something that has been | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
muted on Capitol Hill in the last
few days. Whether or not the | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
Republican Party will generally want
to have that kind of confrontation | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
at this point in time, I'm not sure.
There will also know that this | 0:09:26 | 0:09:32 | |
policy will be very popular in those
blue-collar areas, places like | 0:09:32 | 0:09:40 | |
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
those kinds of areas where Donald | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
Trump won, when no one thought he
would. Thank you very much. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:50 | |
It's international
women's day. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
Millions of people have been
involved in marking it. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Let's start in Spain. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
Women AND men staged the country's
first 'feminist' general strike. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
This was Madrid. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
The message - if the
world stops, we stop. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
Thousands walked out of their jobs
and hit the streets. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Organisers urged them these
ditch chores for the day. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
This was inside
the offices of the El Pais | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
newspaper - also in Madrid. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:28 | |
Hardly any journalists to be seen. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Next Barcelona. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:33 | |
Congested roads. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
Train delays. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |
And flight cancellations. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:42 | |
Another huge protest. One reason
these strikes have scaled up so much | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
is because they are backed by ten
unions and a number of prominent | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
politicians. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
This was the scene in
the past hour in Madrid. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Tens of thousands of people are out. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
Making a point about unequal pay,
violence against women and a range | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
of issues. If you want a statistic,
some estimates say women are paid as | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
much as 19% less than men in the
public and private sectors. Other | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
estimates put it as low as 14 but
nonetheless there is undoubtedly a | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
gender pay gap. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
Here are some of those
taking part in the strike. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
It has been interesting seeing these
pictures coming in, how different | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
women in different parts of the
world have marked this day. This is | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
a manila in the Philippines. Some
signs reading, this is the rise | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
against match over fascism, a direct
shot against their president. This | 0:12:12 | 0:12:18 | |
is Islamabad in Pakistan. Both men
and women in this rally, objecting | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
to a staggering, upsetting
statistics about violence against | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
women. Nearly 1000 women killed by
close relatives every single year in | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
so-called honour killings.
Protesting human rights as well, and | 0:12:31 | 0:12:39 | |
this is Gaza where people were
turning out to highlight the | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
mistreatment of Palestinian women in
detention. We know the Middle East | 0:12:43 | 0:12:51 | |
is certainly a place where women are
not treated equally to men. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:59 | |
Earlier I spoke to BBC Women
Affair's Journalist Feranak Amidi | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
and put that to her. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
It is one of the most challenging
places in the world but also a place | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
where not much happens on
International Women's Day, there are | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
some state events, countries like
Jordan and Afghanistan we witnessed | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
for the past week the government is
holding some events for women, but | 0:13:15 | 0:13:22 | |
basically Afghanistan was the only
place where just a few hundred women | 0:13:22 | 0:13:28 | |
in Cobble March for women's rights
and focusing mostly on activism in | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
rural and urban areas. In Iran, the
most interesting thing happened as | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
well. After 11 years, for the first
time in 11 years, Iranians women's | 0:13:37 | 0:13:44 | |
movement, women's groups asked
people to come to the streets and | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
they did come. A few dozen people
but around 80 people have been | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
arrested. It is one of those tricky
things. In the middle east, like in | 0:13:54 | 0:14:01 | |
Saudi Arabia, women's rights issues
are an important challenging issue, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
but nothing is happening. I am not
saying nothing is happening, of | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
course there are some changes, but
we don't see that sort of activism | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
on the streets. On the streets of
Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, different | 0:14:15 | 0:14:25 | |
Middle Eastern countries. An
interesting distinction, you say | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
there are some improvements in
women's experiences but there is not | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
much change in how women can express
themselves. Exactly, that's the | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
tricky part, the tricky thing about
the Middle East, there is progress | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
and then there are setbacks. Let's
take a country like Afghanistan, you | 0:14:41 | 0:14:48 | |
have 27% female representation in
the parliaments, just a bit over | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
Canada, but it's also one of the
worst places in the world to be a | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
woman. You have people in the
government talking about passing a | 0:14:55 | 0:15:04 | |
law against protecting women against
violence. It's been going on for | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
eight years and the law has not been
passed. It's up in the air. -- | 0:15:08 | 0:15:14 | |
passing a law protecting women
against violence. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
When you see a country like Iran,
lots of social progress but the | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
State acts as the main barrier. In
Afghanistan the state tries to push | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
by the cultural thing in the
barrier, and in Iran it's the | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
opposite. In society people want to
push for progress but the Islamic | 0:15:28 | 0:15:35 | |
ideological state does not allow
that to happen, so we have seen | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
protests by women in the past year
in a country like Iran, but it's | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
going really slowly. Jason is
watching in Mumbai and asks where | 0:15:43 | 0:15:52 | |
that studio is, to explain, we have
access to a different studio early | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
in the day so if colleagues are
leaving before we come on air cannot | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
speak to us later in the day, we
speak to them earlier in that studio | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
but normally it is used by BBC World
Service programmes, BBC Ukraine and | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Russia by example. Just a couple of
floors from where I'm talking to you | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
from. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:13 | |
Stay with us
on Outside Source - | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
still to come of OS business... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
We'll look trade and tariffs
and help everyone understand | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
the the Trans Pacific Partnership
and Donald Trump's | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
latest moves on tariffs. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
Here, the UK government has
set a budget for Northern Ireland | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
in the absence of a power-sharing
administration at Stormont. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
It includes 410 million pounds
of a 1 billion pound package | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
negotiated by the DUP -
in return for its backing for | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
the Conservatives at Westminster. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Let's get the thoughts
of our Northern Ireland Political | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
Editor, Mark Devenport... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:54 | |
That is quite right,
the Stormont Assembly | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
is in mothballs at the moment,
none of the politicians are meeting | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
and we had those talks that
collapsed last month | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
and after the collapse,
officials in the Stormont | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
departments were really getting
quite frantic, needing that | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
clarity with the start
of a new financial year looming, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
so Karen Bradley, the Secretary
of State, has stepped in now. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
She has set a budget
which will allow for around | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
£10 billion worth of expenditure
over the course of the next | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
financial year, which has been eased
by that confidence and supply money, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
although these remain tight times,
so there are still complaints | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
from some of the parties. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
This is Outside Source live
from the BBC newsroom. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Our lead story: | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
President Trump pushes ahead
with a 25% tax on imported steel | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
and 10% on aluminium -
with the measures coming | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
into effect in 15 days. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:57 | |
The former Colombian rebel movement
the FARC is now a political party, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
and it says its candidate
is dropping out of the | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Presidential election in May
because of ill health. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:13 | |
In South Africa a crowdfunding
campaign has started | 0:18:13 | 0:18:14 | |
for the triathlete Mhlengi Gwala. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
He was attacked in Durban
by a gang which tried to cut | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
off his legs with a chainsaw. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
30,000 dollars have already been
raised to help with medical bills. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
An initial operation has been
described as successful. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:35 | |
Best wishes to him. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
Thousands of fans gathered
in florence for the funeral | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
of footballer Davide Astori -
he died of sudden | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
illness on March 3rd. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
So as we've heard, President Trump
imposing steep tariffs on steel | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
and aluminium imports,
claiming the "American steel | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
industry has been decimated
during the past decades". | 0:18:50 | 0:19:00 | |
He says he will put that right. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
Economists estimate billions of
dollars of trade will be affected. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
The US stock markets have closed
higher after the news. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Kim Gittleson is in New York. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
Some people may be surprised by
that? Yeah, I've been waiting for | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
markets to react as well. I think
the way you can read American | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
investor sentiment towards these
tariffs is, as you mentioned, their | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
work are about four Mexico and
Canada, saying as negotiations were | 0:19:25 | 0:19:33 | |
ongoing they would not impose these
tariffs on those two countries. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Trump also said all countries would
be invited to submit proposals to | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
justify why they should be allowed
to be exempt from these tariffs, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
according to the proclamation, they
must prove they are not a threat to | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
national security in the US. Some
have seen this as a bit of a | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
softening and as such investors
thought there could be little room | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
regarding the implementation of
these tariffs, perhaps indicating | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
they may not have this full-blown
trade war we've been worried about. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
Then again we have seen the EU has
already drawn up a list of American | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
industry is that it plans to target
if it is not given sufficient | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
exemptions. It remains to be seen
how these tariffs will go into | 0:20:09 | 0:20:15 | |
effect. We have 15 days to see how
the cards play out. Let me pick up | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
on one of those points, the
expectation this will not happen in | 0:20:20 | 0:20:27 | |
quite the form the president has
announced. Mrs Jeff Flake saying he | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
will introduce a law to nullify
these tariffs. The Republican | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
chairman of the finance committee
also criticised what is happening. I | 0:20:34 | 0:20:42 | |
don't suppose the White House would
put it that way, mitigating the | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
damage. There is an expectation the
political process has some way to | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
go. We saw on Wednesday a letter
signed by over 100 members of House | 0:20:49 | 0:20:56 | |
Republicans who said they were
deeply concerned by the | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
implementation of these tariffs, I
want to say that the Congress | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
granted the president the powers to
do these proclamations, to institute | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
these tariffs that Congress could
take these powers away from | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
President Trump should they decide
they needed to act unilaterally. We | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
are obviously not at that stage yet
but we are seeing a significant | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
amount of this agreement within the
Republican party here in the US. In | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
terms of the steel and aluminium
industry in the US, the president | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
would like to present this as the
clearest possible boost for these | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
industries, is that how they see it.
The steel industry has come out in | 0:21:29 | 0:21:35 | |
support of it, the aluminium
industry has said they are deeply | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
concerned about these tariffs and
were not sure this was the best way | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
to help their industry. Yesterday I
was that a brewery down the street | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
from our offices here in Brooklyn
and there were lots of industries | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
that will be impacted by these
tariffs in the US that aren't just | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
in the steel and aluminium sectors.
The cost of this brewery's plans | 0:21:51 | 0:21:57 | |
will go up and they may have to pass
that cost along to their consumers. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
They have to bide his steel cakes
that may also have a cost increase. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:09 | |
-- they also have to buy these steel
cakes. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
Despite Trump's actions,
a new global trade pact | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
with was signed in Chile today. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
The US pulled out
of the Trans Pacific Partnership | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
but the pact still has clout with 11
nations from Canada to Japan | 0:22:23 | 0:22:31 | |
making up a marketplace
of 500 million people worth | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
nearly to $14 trillion. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:43 | |
Donald Trump did not think it was a
good deal which is why he got out. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:55 | |
Here is our South America
correspondent. Now comes the hard | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
part for all these countries. They
had to prove it to their | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
constituents, to their citizens that
this is worth doing. This deal must | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
be approved in each of these
countries parliaments and then if | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
the deal is successful they can come
and ask for other countries like the | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
US, even the UK or anyone to join
the rebranded deal. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:20 | |
Should global car makers
still be using models to sell cars? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
It's still common to see beautiful,
elaborately dressed models at motor | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
shows but is this still appropriate? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:37 | |
Standing up to the competition with
the three lovely it out for | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
comfort... | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
It's not a good situation right now,
to find some women like that but at | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
the same time, women are responsible
for themselves, they make their | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
choice. Ideally you give
non-knowledgeable people, the ball | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
back and talk about the products,
everyone is here to see cars. -- | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
ideally you give knowledgeable
people. I was a glamour model myself | 0:24:19 | 0:24:25 | |
when I was very young. I actually
quite liked it, I think the cars are | 0:24:25 | 0:24:31 | |
beautiful but you need a bit extra
to bring them to life. I'm not | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
against it, I think they add just a
bit of a spice. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
Plenty to discuss there, I'm saying
nothing. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
China dominates
a list of global self-made | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
woman billionaires again. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
The top four women in
the report by Hurun come | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
from the Asian superpower. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:07 | |
One Chinese technology billionaire
has a rags to riches story. Female | 0:25:07 | 0:25:15 | |
leaders at the top ranks of China's
Communist Party are almost | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
nonexistent particular at companies
and the rich list, it is home to | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
most of the world's self-made female
billionaires. The number one spot is | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
held by a woman who grew up in a
really poor village but she is now | 0:25:26 | 0:25:31 | |
working in $10 billion, after she
founded a company that makes glass | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
covers for laptops and smartphones,
and Apple and Samsung are now among | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
her biggest customers. We will be
turning our attention is to the | 0:25:40 | 0:25:48 | |
Russian election next week in the
next half hour of Outside Source, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
and the details on that Russian spy
who was living in the south of | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
England. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
We say goodbye to most of the snow
as we head towards the weekend. We | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
are about to say hello to some
higher temperatures. Smoke was some | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
disruption of across parts of
northern England but many more | 0:26:18 | 0:26:25 | |
places turned into a sunny one. --
snow caused some disruption. Where | 0:26:25 | 0:26:31 | |
we had sunny skies by day we will
have clear skies by night, allowing | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
temperatures to drop. Some showers
in the North West of Scotland, | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
wintry over high ground and more
cloud into the far south-west. Not | 0:26:40 | 0:26:45 | |
as cold here, for degrees in
Plymouth but other areas down below | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
freezing. The mist patch as well to
take us tomorrow morning. After the | 0:26:47 | 0:26:56 | |
mist has cleared, the majority will
see large amounts of sunshine | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
tomorrow. These showers still
feeding in across the western side | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
of Scotland with wintry nests over
high ground. Southern parts of | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
England and a good part of Wales
will cloud over with some outbreaks | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
of rain beginning to splash in by
the middle of the afternoon. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
Friday's rush hour does look like a
soggy one from Plymouth to Cardiff | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
to London as these outbreaks of rain
pushed north. Much of the rain will | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
be light and patchy but it could
turn a bit heavier as we get deeper | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
into the evening. That rain courtesy
of this frontal system working | 0:27:27 | 0:27:36 | |
North, all driven by an area of low
pressure sitting in the south-west. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
The positioning of this low means
that into the weekend we will be | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
getting southerly winds across the
country, feeding in a mild air. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
Miles is the big theme for our
weekend forecast. Some rain at times | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
but not all the time, Natalie rain
to start on Saturday across the | 0:27:49 | 0:27:54 | |
Midlands and into Northern Ireland.
As that drifts into Scotland, could | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
give some snow over the high ground
but at low levels we expect this to | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
fall as rain. All the while, milder
air up from the south. 14, 15, maybe | 0:28:03 | 0:28:11 | |
16 degrees if things brighten up in
the south-east. South-eastern areas | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
may get a glancing blow from this
rain on Sunday, generally southern | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
parts will see showers that further
north, the fog clears and we should | 0:28:20 | 0:28:27 | |
see spells of sunshine, temperatures
for most in double figures. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,
this is Outside Source, | 0:30:11 | 0:30:12 | |
and these are the main stories
here in the BBC Newsroom. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
President Trump is pushing ahead
with a 25% tax on imported | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
steel and 10% on aluminium -
with the measures coming | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
into effect in 15 days. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:30 | |
The American steel industry has been
ravaged by aggressive foreign trade | 0:30:30 | 0:30:36 | |
practices. It is really an assault
on our country. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:41 | |
Up to five million people stopped
work in Spain to take | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
part in a day of protest
against unequal pay, sexism, | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
and violence against women. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:53 | |
The use of a nerve agent on a UK
soil as a brazen act. This was | 0:31:26 | 0:31:32 | |
attempted murder any cruel and
public way and people are right to | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
know who to hold to account. If we
are to be rigorous in this | 0:31:36 | 0:31:41 | |
investigation we must avoid
speculation and a the police to | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
carry on the investigation. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:53 | |
The US Government said today is
ready to support the UK and other | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
action takes about the size of what
that means in practice is not clear. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:04 | |
This is the US undersecretary for
public diplomacy who is in London. I | 0:33:04 | 0:33:14 | |
have heard quite a lot about this
and talk to a number of people in | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
the UK Government to have mentioned
in this episode to me and it is very | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
concerning and we'd respect the work
of the British investigators and | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
trying to get to the bottom of this. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:33 | |
We now know that Twenty-one people
have been been treated | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
in hospital after the incident. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:37 | |
This is the police officer,
who was in intensive care: | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:51 | |
He is now said to be
conscious and stable. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
BBC Russian's Olga Ivshina has just
come back from the crime scene. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
I spoke to her earlier. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:04 | |
It depends on the new reaction from
the UK. A lot of loud voices and | 0:34:04 | 0:34:16 | |
concerns but actually petition it
all became quiet and go back to the | 0:34:16 | 0:34:23 | |
usual state of events. Relations
between the UK and Russia are at a | 0:34:23 | 0:34:29 | |
low point already so it is hard to
make them even worse but once again | 0:34:29 | 0:34:34 | |
it would depend on the UK's reaction
because Moscow say they know nothing | 0:34:34 | 0:34:41 | |
about that so they are taking it
easy. We have seen you talking to | 0:34:41 | 0:34:49 | |
colleagues of Sergei Skripal, what
have you heard? They told us some | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
details about his wife and said he
was actually dreaming about working | 0:34:54 | 0:34:59 | |
for the military intelligence since
was a child and tried to go to the | 0:34:59 | 0:35:08 | |
Russian equivalent of Sandhurst and
was trained and join the | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
paratroopers and serve their
brightly and managed to join the | 0:35:12 | 0:35:19 | |
Russian military intelligence and we
were told he was quite proud of that | 0:35:19 | 0:35:25 | |
by his relatives. They could not
believe he was working for the | 0:35:25 | 0:35:29 | |
bullets and condemn the allegations.
His friends and relatives thought he | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
was living modestly so he and his
wife and children were living and a | 0:35:32 | 0:35:41 | |
one-bedroom apartment in Moscow. He
had an old car for example. Everyone | 0:35:41 | 0:35:45 | |
describes as a Russian patriot,
heart and soul of the company | 0:35:45 | 0:35:53 | |
optimistic and ended positively a
loud man. At any of his relatives | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
able to visit him on isolated? He
was living in England with his son. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:04 | |
Initially the whole family moved
here his wife and son and daughter. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:09 | |
His wife died in 2012 and son
stadium but his daughter missed | 0:36:09 | 0:36:15 | |
Moscow because Salisbury is very
quiet compared to most which she | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
went back and was based here and
what they are but she was coming | 0:36:18 | 0:36:22 | |
back and forth visiting him quite
often especially in the last two | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
years because there were
particularly hard for survey. His | 0:36:24 | 0:36:34 | |
elder brother died and next year his
son died and he was very close to | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
him. This year to day he is in a
critical situation hospital. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:50 | |
We're getting very
close to the Russian | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
election - it's next week. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:53 | |
We know who's going to win but it
still raises many important issues - | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
And Sarah Rainsford is going to be
at the heart of our coverage. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
She's based in Moscow but has
travelled to Rostov - | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
as you'll see in her latest report. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
They see themselves as born
warriors, the Cossacks, | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
defenders of their country
through the centuries. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
It is a past they are fiercely proud
of, replayed in the muddy | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
borderlands of southern Russia. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:14 | |
These days, the Cossacks' brand
of patriotism is on the rise. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
TRANSLATION: Cossacks
want to serve their country | 0:37:17 | 0:37:26 | |
part in the war because,
if they didn't, their cities | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
would be shelled next. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:39 | |
He paints the uprising in Kiev
as a coup, backed by the West - | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
views that sound radical
are now mainstream here. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:56 | |
TRANSLATION: Volunteer fighters
felt they had to take | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
part in the war because,
if they didn't, their cities | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
would be shelled next. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:02 | |
Ukraine is just the beginning. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
We know who this is done by,
it is the West that wants | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
to divide up our country. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:07 | |
In Rostov there's a memorial to
those who died fighting in Ukraine. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
Despite all the evidence, Russia
still denies sending soldiers there. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
Russia's relations with the West
have been cooling for some time | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
but it was the war in Ukraine that
really marked a breaking point. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
Whilst for many here,
those who fought are seen | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
as patriots and as heroes,
for the West this was the moment | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
that marked Russia as an aggressor. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:32 | |
The West imposed sanctions
but Russia did not | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
buckle, it retaliated. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
It banned fresh meat from Europe,
among other things, so no one | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
here is too flustered by sanctions. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
They have boosted local production
and staff think Western | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
firms would struggle
to recapture the market. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:52 | |
We are ready for the
competition, Dimitri says. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
Russia today looks more
Western than ever, | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
with similar tastes and styles. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
The crowd in this bar see their
country as European, culturally. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
This young owner would like to be
closer politically too but | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
the climate has cooled dramatically. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
Maria also has a fashion label
and big plans for the future, | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
including expanding sales
to the West. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:19 | |
But under Vladimir Putin,
she fears Russia will only | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
increase its isolation,
with assertive policies | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
sold to the public by
a powerful state-run media. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:30 | |
TRANSLATION: Instead
of talking about problems | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
we have inside the country,
they talk about how | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
we are surrounded by enemies
who all want the worse for us. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
It is really scary because it whips
everything up and then people think | 0:39:39 | 0:39:43 | |
you need to push back otherwise
we will be overrun and destroyed. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:51 | |
That siege mentality is growing
here, as is the sense that Russia | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
has chosen a deliberate path away
from the West, with no sign | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
that it plans to turn back. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:08 | |
The election is next week and we
know that Vladimir Putin is going to | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
win that doesn't mean that are not
interesting questions about Russia | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
is positioning itself and how its
article environment is evolving or | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
not. I've just seen a tweet saying
it is International Women's Day and | 0:40:29 | 0:40:42 | |
with ten minutes of Donald Trump and
then three or four minutes of the | 0:40:42 | 0:40:49 | |
national women's Day can stop when
the president says he is greater | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
than is back on the principles of
free trade that is a moment of | 0:40:53 | 0:40:58 | |
future Americans particularly when
he points his finger straight at | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
America was my closest allies, some
of the biggest economies and the EU | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
and it had just happened so
inevitably be were going to talk | 0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | |
about that but in terms of
International Women's Day we brought | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
you coverage already from Gaza and
Turkey and Spain and the Philippines | 0:41:12 | 0:41:18 | |
and a couple of other stories to
come between now and the end of the | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
programme. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:27 | |
This is from earlier in the week - | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
there's Kim Jong Un. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
And this is South Korea's head
of National Security. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
Then this is today. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:33 | |
The head of National Security
with South Korea's head | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
of National Intelligence. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:37 | |
They're at the airport in Seoul -
and they're about to fly | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
to Washington to pass on a message
from Kim Jong Un. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
America has been clear
that is prepared | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
to have direct talks -
but only if there is a commitment | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
to denuclearisation. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:53 | |
And unless it's it that letter,
North Korea hasn't offered that. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
This is the US Secretary
of State Rex Tillerson speaking | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
during a visit to Ethiopia. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
I think as President Trump has
indicated potentially positive | 0:42:02 | 0:42:07 | |
signals coming from North Korea
about the dialogue with South Korea. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:15 | |
We maintain a very close
communication with the Republic of | 0:42:15 | 0:42:21 | |
Korea, president we are keeping us
well informed of the content of | 0:42:21 | 0:42:27 | |
those meetings and we are providing
them input as well. In terms of | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
direct talks with the United States
and US that was huge and we are a | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
long way from negotiations. We need
to be realistic about that. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:43 | |
And then this is China's
foreign minister | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
who became a little poetic. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:54 | |
It's takes more than one called
today to freeze three feet of ice | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
despite light at the end of the
tunnel the journey I will not be | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
smooth. Ashley has remained at this
time and time again that whenever | 0:43:03 | 0:43:09 | |
tensions survey did the situation
would become cloudy again. Now is | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
the crucial moments to test the
sincerity of the parties to solve | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
the nuclear issue. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:17 | |
Su Min Hwang, editor of BBC
Korean, told me more | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
about the diplomatic mission. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:25 | |
The special envoys the diplomats
have flown into the USA Today and | 0:43:25 | 0:43:30 | |
allegedly they have a very private
message from Kim Jong Un and nobody | 0:43:30 | 0:43:36 | |
knows apart from five people and
South Korea including these | 0:43:36 | 0:43:41 | |
diplomats and the president. Nobody
knows what is in it. We can guess at | 0:43:41 | 0:43:46 | |
and a lot of people think that
rather than containing detailed | 0:43:46 | 0:43:51 | |
action plans that contains the
sincerity of Kim Jong Un's message | 0:43:51 | 0:43:57 | |
about denuclearisation. The
Americans have been cleared of that | 0:43:57 | 0:44:02 | |
is not a commitment talks do not
happen. That has stayed the same, | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
they have asked for a complete
irreversible digitalisation and it | 0:44:05 | 0:44:14 | |
is whether North Korea is willing to
provide that. We talk a lot about | 0:44:14 | 0:44:20 | |
North Korea, South Korea could do
chain Atherton? -- where do chain | 0:44:20 | 0:44:25 | |
Atherton? Where do China fit in? It
is the priority that it is no war on | 0:44:25 | 0:44:38 | |
the Korean peninsula and they are
very willing to see the tension | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
being diffused. People will think
the reason Kim Jong Un wants nuclear | 0:44:41 | 0:44:47 | |
weapons as it makes him secure, why
would he even think about agreeing | 0:44:47 | 0:44:52 | |
to stop that programme when it is
the one thing that makes sure she is | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
safe? You are correct, nuclear
weapons and importance to North | 0:44:56 | 0:45:01 | |
Korea, not only a national symbol of
power and advanced country to the | 0:45:01 | 0:45:08 | |
citizens, it also acts as a
deterrent from the foreign invasion. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
For North Korea to give up will be a
revolutionary change but if they are | 0:45:10 | 0:45:17 | |
sincere about giving up the weapons
it could mean tough sanctions that | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
have been imposed actually working
so they want some sort of breather | 0:45:20 | 0:45:24 | |
out of that and the economy to
flourish. On the other hand it is | 0:45:24 | 0:45:28 | |
also the view that this is another
tactic from North Korea to buy time | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
to fully develop the nuclear
weapons. They need time to develop | 0:45:33 | 0:45:38 | |
it to the full extent. One would be
building more facilities to equip | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
this and they need the warhead
re-entry technology to be fully | 0:45:42 | 0:45:47 | |
developed for them to have a
complete nuclear weapon. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:55 | |
A top European trade official
says... While they may think that | 0:45:55 | 0:46:04 | |
that doesn't mean Donald Trump will
agree. He has been very critical of | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
the EU and said it was being
impossible to do business with. It | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
did not mention it by name today but
said some countries and | 0:46:11 | 0:46:16 | |
organisations supposed to be allies
are not behaving in that way in | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
terms of the military and trade. He
is clearly not happy and the idea | 0:46:18 | 0:46:24 | |
that the EU should be excluded, we
will see. A couple of points, Canada | 0:46:24 | 0:46:29 | |
and Mexico are being temporarily
exempted from these tariffs because | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
of the ongoing negotiations, the
North American Free Trade Agreement | 0:46:32 | 0:46:38 | |
which Donald Trump said of getting
rid of and then tied to the fashion | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
it and that is what is going on.
Some people are suggesting the | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
tariff introduction as a way of
saying to all of America's trading | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
partners will have to revisit a lot
of issues so perhaps the EU will get | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
what it wants, and exemption. But
there are only 15 days so there's | 0:46:52 | 0:46:59 | |
not too much time for that to be
resolved. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:07 | |
The Danish Inventor accused
of murdering the Swedish journalist | 0:47:07 | 0:47:09 | |
Kim Wall has gone on trial
today in Denmark. | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
Peter Madsen admitted
dismembering her body | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
and throwing it out to sea... | 0:47:13 | 0:47:19 | |
but denies murder. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:20 | |
This all relates to last August. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:21 | |
Kim Wall boarded Mr Madsen's
self-built submarine off the East | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
coast of Copenhagen at 7pm. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
She'd arranged to conduct
an interview aboard the sub. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
At 2am her boyfriend
reported her missing. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:33 | |
We know the submarine was spotted
travelling south over night. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:38 | |
It sank here at 11am next morning -
and Mr Madsen had to be rescued. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
When asked where Kim Wall was, he
said he'd dropped her off earlier. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
Eleven days later Kim
Wall's torso was found | 0:47:46 | 0:47:51 | |
here in a nearby bay. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:55 | |
Weeks later, police divers
discovered more parts of her body. | 0:47:55 | 0:48:02 | |
Now Mr Madsen has changed his
story multiple times. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:06 | |
And the prosecutor wants
convictions for murder, | 0:48:06 | 0:48:09 | |
dismemberment and aggravated sexual
assault. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:15 | |
If that happens he could face 15
to 17 years in prison. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:18 | |
Maddy Savage has more. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
I should warn you that
the details are disturbing. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:28 | |
Court proceedings for the first day
of what is one of the most | 0:48:28 | 0:48:32 | |
high-profile murder trials in
Scandinavia for years have now | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
wrapped up. More than 100
journalists from around the world | 0:48:34 | 0:48:37 | |
turned up to see a Peter Madsen the
Danish inventor giving evidence in | 0:48:37 | 0:48:41 | |
the court room. The day started with
prosecutors outlining the argument, | 0:48:41 | 0:48:47 | |
some of the evidence they have
collected that they hope will see | 0:48:47 | 0:48:51 | |
Peter Madsen locked up for life for
Kim Wall's murder. That included a | 0:48:51 | 0:48:57 | |
back-up of his phone which showed he
had googled beheading and the days | 0:48:57 | 0:49:01 | |
and months before Kim Wall died and
I was before she was on her | 0:49:01 | 0:49:07 | |
submarine he had watched a video of
someone slitting the throat of a | 0:49:07 | 0:49:12 | |
woman. When he took to the stand he
was dressed in black with casual | 0:49:12 | 0:49:17 | |
jeans and a stuck to the story that
Kim Wall had died in an accident due | 0:49:17 | 0:49:21 | |
to carbon monoxide poisoning, she
had inhaled the fumes filled he had | 0:49:21 | 0:49:26 | |
been on another part of the 70 metre
long submarine. He denied having any | 0:49:26 | 0:49:30 | |
kind of sexual act with Kim Wall or
himself while he was on the | 0:49:30 | 0:49:36 | |
submarine despite evidence presented
I prosecutors showed that sperm had | 0:49:36 | 0:49:41 | |
been found in his underpants. He
said there was simply no sexual | 0:49:41 | 0:49:46 | |
attraction between them. The trial
continues with the verdict expected | 0:49:46 | 0:49:48 | |
next month. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:56 | |
The UN has released research that
shows that women are much more | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
likely than men to be affected
by climate change. | 0:49:59 | 0:50:01 | |
For example, 80 percent
of people displaced | 0:50:01 | 0:50:03 | |
by climate change are women. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:04 | |
Here are two examples
the UN highlights. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:06 | |
Take Chad, nomadic groups close
to Lake Chad have had to move | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
as 90 percent of it has disappeared. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:19 | |
Now women go further collect water
and men go to towns for work. | 0:50:20 | 0:50:24 | |
Or there's Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:28 | |
Flooding hit low lying
areas of the city, | 0:50:28 | 0:50:32 | |
and many were low income. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:36 | |
More than half the lower income
families in the city | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
were headed by single mothers. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
Here's the BBC science reporter
Mary Halton giving me more details. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:50 | |
Quite often the problem with climate
change as we struggle to humanise it | 0:50:50 | 0:50:54 | |
and the real issue here is that it
is affecting women globally so often | 0:50:54 | 0:50:58 | |
we estimate is happening in places
like Lake Chad with the effects of | 0:50:58 | 0:51:03 | |
climate change are very visible but
in the example of New Orleans and | 0:51:03 | 0:51:09 | |
urban population and places like
Jakarta and globally woman and would | 0:51:09 | 0:51:16 | |
like to be in poverty and socially
deprived than men so they will be | 0:51:16 | 0:51:23 | |
more impacted when infrastructure is
damaged. That is an issue about our | 0:51:23 | 0:51:29 | |
societies are constructed rather
than being an issue specific to | 0:51:29 | 0:51:34 | |
climate change? Absolutely, we tend
to talk about natural disasters but | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
these events do not impact everybody
equally and the impact according to | 0:51:37 | 0:51:41 | |
the structures we have in place as a
society so climate change is | 0:51:41 | 0:51:45 | |
affecting indigenous women and women
of colour disproportionately to the | 0:51:45 | 0:51:48 | |
rest of the population. Reading your
article you are seeing Europe the | 0:51:48 | 0:51:54 | |
Paris climate change agreement
acknowledges this. Any small | 0:51:54 | 0:52:03 | |
paragraph, disabled people and
indigenous groups and mentioned | 0:52:03 | 0:52:07 | |
alongside women. More probably needs
to be done to set out how specific | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
way it can be... Can we understand
how that can be done practically. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:19 | |
Countries decided to acknowledge
women are disproportionately | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
affected by climate change and will
do X and Y, what options are | 0:52:22 | 0:52:27 | |
available? Involving women really.
The need to be involved in | 0:52:27 | 0:52:31 | |
policy-making decisions and the
power to access educational levels | 0:52:31 | 0:52:35 | |
of Government. Once they are
involved from local to national | 0:52:35 | 0:52:37 | |
levels and global levels the
sessions will be made that they | 0:52:37 | 0:52:43 | |
benefit women. I do not mean to be
awkward but that would be something | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
people would aspire to but it is not
going to happen tomorrow, it'll take | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
a long while for those wheels to
happen tomorrow, it'll take a long | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
while for those wheel straight
answer other practical measures | 0:52:52 | 0:52:54 | |
known to the Mac now? That might not
take as long as people think and | 0:52:54 | 0:53:00 | |
people are actively engaged and
climate change policy and we have | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
seen a lot of change recently of
policies friendly at women and basic | 0:53:03 | 0:53:08 | |
moves are making more economic than
empowered within their own countries | 0:53:08 | 0:53:12 | |
and better able to access these
solidly basic level things I can | 0:53:12 | 0:53:17 | |
people need to evacuate from a
severe weather events people who add | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
economic deprived are less able to
do that. Putting structures in place | 0:53:20 | 0:53:24 | |
that looked to AIDS particular
groups when they need to evacuate | 0:53:24 | 0:53:26 | |
from certain areas. After hurricane
Jeanne things like they did not have | 0:53:26 | 0:53:33 | |
enough sanitary products and all
these small things can be done to | 0:53:33 | 0:53:37 | |
improve the situation and longer
term change might take a longer time | 0:53:37 | 0:53:41 | |
but I think it should not take as
long as people think. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:48 | |
We've talked about this picture
a lot on Outside Source. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:51 | |
It was taken in December in Tehran -
and the woman has her hijab off - | 0:53:51 | 0:53:54 | |
and is holding it in the air. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
The picture went viral. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:57 | |
On Wednesday prosecutors
found her guilty of 'encouraging | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
moral corruption' and ordered her
to seek psychiatric help. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:06 | |
Most of her two year jail
sentence was suspended. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:11 | |
Many pictures of support come in. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:15 | |
This was taken in Hungary. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:16 | |
This is from France. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:17 | |
And this in Germany. | 0:54:17 | 0:54:20 | |
More than 30 women have been
arrested in Iran since December. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
More again from Feranak Amidi. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:32 | |
The first centre thing happened
yesterday and one of the women was | 0:54:38 | 0:54:46 | |
sentenced to two years in prison and
another one the first woman who went | 0:54:46 | 0:54:52 | |
and did that iconic protests were
she took off her scarf and put it on | 0:54:52 | 0:54:57 | |
a stick and stood on a platform in a
busy street was sentenced to getting | 0:54:57 | 0:55:05 | |
psychiatric help and medication so
what we are seeing that the state is | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
doing and are run is giving them
heavy sentencing and labelling them | 0:55:10 | 0:55:18 | |
loose women who are promoting and
decency and society and labelling | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
them as insane and mentally ill
people. That is quite worrying | 0:55:21 | 0:55:26 | |
because our round 20 other women are
waiting to go on trial and this is a | 0:55:26 | 0:55:36 | |
worrying time, a lot of anxiety
right now among women and women's | 0:55:36 | 0:55:39 | |
rights activists in Iran. Thank you
for watching, we will be back next | 0:55:39 | 0:55:49 | |
time next week. More news on the BBC
website. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:58 |
