From the running track to the football pitch could you say both be germanys next soccer superstar the sprinting legend will train with going just think assad was good for him and on friday and you will hear why hes taking on the football world. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us we begin with breaking news this evening the United States will grant exemptions from its controversial new trade tariffs on key allies including the European Union thats after the u. S. Trade representative reveals the move. To washington lawmakers u. S. President donald trump will be unveiling the tariffs later on today we will be following that announcement it is expected in fact within the hour but lets get reaction in the meantime to that reprieve from our correspondents who are standing by in brussels and in washington we have reaction from both continents Claire Richardson is standing by in washington of next month has the latest from brussels where e. U. Leaders are also meeting for a summit there in clare id like to begin with you because you are where this announcement has been made what exactly has been said good to see you sara well these tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum are set to go into Effect Tomorrow and weve just heard the u. S. Trade representative say that some countries and the European Union is going to be initially exempt now of course were waiting to hear the president himself confirm that and its important to note that this is just a pause on the tariffs as negotiations take place and they use been scrambling to try and get this exemption and theyre expecting an official announcement from the president later today what we do know for sure is that within the next hour trumps expected to ask for a new set of tariffs against china to offset what his administration sees as compensation for chinas unfair trading practices and chinas warned its going to hit back with its own tariffs on u. S. Agricultural products things like sowing beans and pigs bad news for the u. S. Farmers and Business Leaders and allan analysts here are warning that this could lead to a global trade war between the worlds two biggest economies and as we wait for that announcement lets head to you max whats the reaction been there in brussels have leaders at the summit weighed in on this. Well so far weve only heard one e. U. Politician since the news broke that this is most likely going to happen of course we need to be careful with that because were talking about donald trump and we dont know whether he really will say what weve heard so far so it is to be confirmed that thats exactly the line that the e. U. Call him as president until a new tell you know any was following today he said if this is confirmed later officially by the Top Administration then this of course would be a step in the right direction the german chancellor were getting here said the same thing she said we really hoping that this exemption will take place later so if this is confirmed and were here expecting at the u. S. Senate that this will be confirmed within the next hour or so im sure the reaction will be very positive and if it is indeed found or if its not confirmed i mean just how much generally speaking was this tariff issue supposed to be on the agenda there for leaders to discuss and what else is on the agenda max. Traditionally at this summit early in the year they talk about economic problems Economic Issues so it was very firmly on the agenda but the question here is sara what kind of strings will be attached because weve been hearing that this might only be a pause for the European Union and there might be demands that have to be met renegotiations you never know with the american president so until we really know what hes going to do this is still on the agenda and the leaders will react to that but of course theres plenty of other things especially concerned regarding Foreign Policy for example relations to turkey and relations to russia after there was a nerve gas attack of roughly two weeks ago on the u. K. Soil ok so it might be another long night there myself and with the latest from brussels apparent richardson with the reaction from washington thank you so much to both of you and as we mentioned were going to bring that announcement by donald trump he is expected within the hour to unveil the final tariffs package and we will be carrying that live for you here on news. But in the meantime lets find out how the markets have been reacting to this news Helen Humphrey is standing by on our business desk and we have to talk about a sell off we do have to talk about the sell off on the fact that the markets have been waiting when they say for weeks with every piece of rhetoric the markets have moved with the prospect of a trade war and covering every twist and turn has all financial correspondent to do my loughnane we can bring aid now shes at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange good to see janells so the e. U. Has got what it wanted granted an exception it looks like was a sigh of relief on the trading floor. Yes but only in the sense that this is one less thing for them to worry about that has in no way translated to improve trading the trading day is about to end with the european indices still firmly in the red its also worth noting that theyve had all day to react to this news that the e. U. Could be accepted has been circulating around all day and it seems to provide little comfort for them then now that they have a bit more confirmation their joy remains muted so its also because theyre worried about china and they know that you dont actually have to be in a trade war in order to be affected by one if either the u. S. Or china delayed growth slowed growth or depress demand as a result of a trade war well thats not good for any exporter that has either of these countries as major markets right very important point that to bear in mind ginnell do investors perhaps feel that the same gesture could potentially be extended to china or is that out of the window. Theres certainly havent been the same signals of that accord is on the way in fact weve seen rhetoric seemed to sharpen the chinese have taken for example offense at us called the us calling chinese trade practices economic aggression theyre reportedly preparing a complaint at the w t o and theyre also preparing their own retaliatory measures that are targeted at u. S. Exports like soybeans and sorghum and live hogs now of course these are the products that are that are a key export of the states about supported in the twenty sixteen election so this is meant to target his base so while anything can happen the tone from both sides seems to be that theyre preparing for a war of the trade kind the u. S. Is also preparing to protect those industries that i mentioned so the next half hour before this announcement is expected could be crucial absolutely we are carrying about. A mile out of the front but Stock Exchange thanks very much for your analysis. Hes back in just sara now on the diplomatic standoff between london and moscow absolutely were talking now about russias ambassador to london who says that britain cannot be trusted and investigating the poisoning of an expiry and his daughter alexander yaka vanko said that britain had accused russia of the attempted murder of sergei scruple without presenting evidence he also said that russia could not take british accusations seriously because the british had a record of misleading the International Community this came after britain said that it would ask for assurances that its citizens would be safe in the summer soccer world cup in russia and it is the latest salvo in a war of words that saw the British Foreign secretary compare russias hosting of the world cup to the one nine hundred thirty six olympics in nazi germany the British Government is free to make a decision the vote is split decision in the wilco but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated nazis in and who lost more than thirty five Million People by compere e o. A country to nazi germany. Now we have made mistakes that is what facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said in response to the data scandal involving his company a Data Mining FirmCambridge Analytical in a statement on his facebook profile and in an interview shortly thereafter zuckerberg apologized and promised users a new feature to turn off Third Party Apps which Cambridge Analytical allegedly used to harvest private information. It began with an innocent personality quiz and ended up with a fifty million facebook profiles being used to sway elections. Now the question is why didnt facebook do more to protect its uses. The scientist behind the quiz says he is a scapegoat. Did you know what they were going to do with it did you know what their interest was no i mean thats the thing i was pretty heavily siloed of anything thats porous funder or clients i found out about donald trump just like everybody else theyre going to give people more options than just facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg broke days of silence on the scandal admitting the company had made mistakes. I started facebook and at the end of the day im responsible for what happens on our platform we will learn from this experience to secure a platform further and make our communities safer for everyone going forward. Hes promised to make it easier for users to manage their privacy settings. Even so lawmakers are demanding answers from the man at the helm. Wouldnt it be great for him to show up like most americans do want to have to testify as to the practices of his company he could make millions of dollars in the United States around the world but at least you want to respect our laws theres concern outside the us to this for a long time demanding an explanation of why this could have happened whether german users and accounts were affected and what facebook intends to do to stop anything like this from happening again. So for. Added to a plummeting share price and threats of legal actions from investors. Has much to think about but perhaps the biggest concern is loss of trust. So when weird things show my face goes down like i thats exactly why i just been searching the internet kind of freaks me out for the worried about what hes doing with my information before sundays information to go through the process makes this feeling even stronger. The more that emerges the more questions mount about one companys role and done to protection and democracy. For more now lets bring in our social media editor jared reed who has been keeping a close eye on this story for us and jared we have to begin of course by talking about this statement from Mark Zuckerberg i mean some very carefully chosen language there what are we to make of it well thats right i mean he did say story probably is to a certain extent but we should probably talk about what he didnt say so one of the things Mark Zuckerberg didnt explain was why when his Company Found out all these years ago that the daughter of fifteen million users was being harvested why he didnt tell any of those users at the time and why aware only finding out now another thing he did he kind of threw Cambridge Analytic of this Data Services firm at the center of the controversy under the boss by positioning facebook as having been as deceived as we were when really it was facebooks inadequate is regulation. And some safeguards are now dotted thats why were in this position we are now he hasnt fully explained yet how facebook can protect us from being manipulated politically because we know generally facebook has a bit of a problem where you see things like russian propaganda around election time he did say in another interview that during the special election in alabama last year they did deploy Artificial Intelligence to try and sort of prohibit or get rid of this propaganda but wed like to know a bit more about the one thing he did talk about hes going to limit develop his access to facebook and our information so this is tightening of the rules that theyve brought into force in twenty four teams of course but only finding out that they did this now he said hed be willing to testify before congress and that he doesnt totally opposed coles to regulate social media. I kind of feel like hes making this apology because its off against the wall with him but you know when we talk about testifying before congress he also said if i am the right person to test drive so i mean he gave himself out as well and he also took a number of days to craft this response and thats got a lot of peoples attention i mean now that hes had those days presumably hes been meeting with experts in the company on his and consulted things of that nature are people satisfied with what he said well we actually that three hour and follow as you put a poll to them on twitter its obviously not a scientific poll but this is what they had to say devalues this cold zaka verbs response a complete nonpolar not really good enough he seems to have lost a lot of Peoples Trust but it does same that some do want to give him a Second Chance this user commented on to mock soccer bergs policy said look he did a great job training this issue facebook couldnt have orders to thirty thousand developers i wonder if maybe they probably could have youve built the worlds most powerful social platform and now were all realizing it can be weaponized its a new world so there is some support but i do. I think hes getting that support because people are realizing that breaking up weve facebook would be hard of them keeping face forbes absolutely so many people are addicted to the platform i mean so many people also ourselves included are required to use it for work as well so you know generally speaking its been a tumultuous week a lot of people have been asking questions about their Digital Future their presence online what should people be keeping in mind what lessons can be learned from this if any well people should keep in mind that facebook makes billions of dollars from information so if we dont pay money to facebook we give them our privacy and thats how they make their money and i think theres a little bit of naivety from users and particularly lawmakers about these people should be better informed about technology and about privacy and here in the e. U. The in my we have the general Data Protection regulation thats going to be enforced and that will to some extent restrict how personal doctor is collected and handled so we have to see what that means for us as users and for Big Companies to absolutely we know at least here in europe this is really odd topic people really concerned about their privacy and now also all over the world as well jared read from our social media desk following all of the ins and outs the details the reaction thanks gerri. Well Syrian State Television is reporting that more than two hundred people have been evacuated from the rebel held town of harasta in eastern guta a deal following a deal allowing them to pass through a corridor to government territory was announced after weeks of the marginal officials involved in the negotiations said that the six hundred fighters and their families are expected to leave the british based syrian observatory for human rights says the government spends it on goods that has killed more than fifteen hundred civilians since february. Its the homecoming that no one was expecting in nigeria the Islamist Group boko haram has freed most of the one hundred ten schoolgirls that they snatched from the town of doxy a month ago but their act of clemency came with a chilling warning to parents do not try sending your daughters back to school again or we will be back our correspondent Adrienne Creech has this report. That will new limits to the jubilation in dempsey. To the complete surprise of local residents a convoy of pickup trucks and into the town on wednesday morning and released dozens of kidnapped schoolgirls. Many of them however are still in shock. We dont know why they brought us back out but they told us were muslims and we share the same faith so they didnt want us to suffer they didnt molest us or subject us to any kind of Sexual Harassment but they kept one of the girls on religious grounds where shes a christian and refused to renounce her religion and that is that. The parents of the return girls can hardly believe their luck with some of them even thinking. Yeah why am i how i oh i was crying if you guys back but today i am laughing and feeling happy for the release of our girls and i go i saw with my own eyes how the insurgents drove into town this morning with the girls they were waving the flag and telling people not to run away as they were coming in peace. With one hundred ten schoolgirls were kidnapped and up she last month for weeks that desperate parents receive no news of their fate the government of president bihari has come under massive pressure for its slow reaction to the kidnapping and its failure to protect local schools. And for more are joining us now from the nigerian capital is shoni bari she is the founder of a girl child africa as just egypt team leader for the bring back our Girls Movement welcome so much to do thanks for joining us. Now we just heard that boko haram has threatened to return to adopt if parents send the girls back to school your organization aims to promote Girls Education how does this impact your work. You know misread the s. Condition of our hearts is its the not the son part of nigeria has been statistically proven to have the i yes the number of out of School Children not just the nasty cup of the curse the words nigel has to grapple with between fourteen to sixteen media children that are out of school now when you look at that compared to the all campaign to ensure that girls go to school and all sorts in that regard. As being against west an indication and particularly against Girls Education about this in part our work because its one thing to call for girls to go to school it is another the to ensure that the government has the live limb environment that will ensure that this is actually as changed so when we said there should go to school and they have to go to school with up and to make that choice between going to school or stay in a live body at choice or going to school or been abducted theyll be put to question our entire effort as they need us to whether we want to try to go to school so and is job or dies in the effort not just of my organizational must serve our or that of our working in this need and so given that i mean what is the message that you would give to these parents because presumably i mean they this threat is probably scaring them. How would you convince them of the walk on the back of the advocacy left on the federal government to ensure that according to section forty of our constitution that says that the crime our sponsor lives of government is the security of life on top it is so lets children go to school we will still cough or that but most importantly ask that there should be a minimum level of safety and security all schools that must be done via governments on to that is done will simply be setting of these children to be killed of the abducted. Ok so you want more security from the government and i you know i want to ask you a little bit more about your criticism of the government because we know that you have campaigned to bring back the chip of girls who were abducted in twenty fourteen if you can just remind us what we know about their fate specifically because its so important to keep these girls in mind and also i mean what do you make of the governments handling of that case. Into three days. In the Chamber Girls are not go back into the four year soon the girls are in are doctors so theyre mixing the one does she go as well doc did and lets not forget that they still have one of those girls near shaariibuu that is still in abduction now what we called for when the chipper girls were abducted and the sooner we are calling for wendy death to go to our doctor put it on the table serve the stills that needs to be answered bob most importantly what exactly is the government doing differently after the abduction of the chibok girls and after now the abduction of the dubs she goes to ensure our best schools are safe to ensure their communities are safe this should not are put in the first place darkie to seizing or our food to the government is not just to say that here is our doctor than a bug there but there is a lot of questions that must be answered so bad this does not begin now dont forget also that when chibok our point schools were shut down and asked us on plan schools where we opened that that she abduction up and begin means that certain things were not done not part of our focus its a Big Government will now include that there must be is something novel or security of those schools before we can accept to go to school on to that is there and then the government there we could surely and its grandma a sponsibility kind of very clear message for the governments these girls they need security we thank you so much joining us from a puja bookie shani barry founder of the girl child africa and Strategic Team leader for the bring back our Girls Movement we appreciate it. Thank you.
