China trade or washington is accusing beijing of manipulating its currency after it lower the value of the you are a stocks have dropped nearly 3 percent on wall street beijing says it will stop Chinese Companies from buying u. S. Farm products lets go to our correspondent alan fischer he is joining us live from the u. S. Capital and eventful day in the trade war allan ending with donald trump doing something hes been threatening for a long time. Exactly he said on the campaign trail the very 1st thing he would do on his far stay in office in the white house was the clear china come see manipulator well he tweeted a few hours ago that thats exactly what they were doing a lot in there come see to drop against the dollar to improve their balance of trade with the United States now at the close of business on the markets just a few hours ago a statement which in the treasury secretary announced that the United States had declared china a currency manipulator it could have done it using the 2015 law but they decided to use the 1988 lord to do that and the reason for that its slightly broader in scope that gives them more reason to call china a currency manipulator so they will no take that to the International Monetary fund and say look you need to penalize china because theyre not playing fair not playing by the rules certainly its a move that will please donald trump but a man who is involved in a trade war no finds himself also involved in a cut in sea war with china and alan just that in itself. Is big news its a big event but its not the only development on monday we had china lowering the value of the euro. Announcing that theyre not going to buy u. S. Agricultural products. The not buying Agricultural Products is very key that is because the chinese believe that will hit donald trump at his base because donald trump won a lot of states where farming is a big industry and he sees that as part of his political power structure and so if the farmers are struggling and they have been throughout this trade war with china then they think that will make donald trump keen to negotiate hes already pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the farming industry though trump also doesnt quite understand how tired of so work he believes that china pay them but its actually American Companies and American Consumers that end up paying the tariffs and hes going to increase them more hes going to put 10 percent on 300000000000. 00 worth of goods from the 1st of september and people were hoping that there might be some leeway there that the 2 countries could get together and discuss the trade situation and perhaps come up with a deal a but with the latest steps that no seems highly unlikely and we know that donald trump has said that trade wars easy to wine and can be over quickly well the worlds markets are beginning to get a bit scared that the 2 biggest economies are facing off against one another like this and instead of things improving between them as a look to get a deal things are actually getting worse and that can all only be bad news for the Global Economy allan thank you very much for that alan live in washington d. C. Lets move on to other news for now the south Korean Military says north korea has fired 2 and identify projectiles Office East Coast into the sea the launch took place in the province of south wang hey that is the 4th such launch in this than 2 weeks on friday north korea fired 2 short range projectiles into the east sea just 2 days after it launched 2 short range Ballistic Missiles earlier the north korean government condemned joint military drills between the u. S. And south korea describing them as hostile moves. North korea has generated an estimated 2000000000. 00 for its Weapons Program using Cyber Attacks thats according to a new u. N. Report seen by the Reuters News Agency it says that pyongyang used increasingly sophisticated Cyber Attacks to steal from banks and crypto currency exchanges the report was presented to a committee of the u. N. Security Council Sanctions were imposed on north korea in 2006 in a bid to stop funding for its nuclear and Ballistic Missile program well lets get more on this were joined by andrea lang professor at Cookman University and hes joining us live from the south korean capital with lenkov always good to have you with us on our dizzier so well start with the latest tests as weve been mentioning before in 2 weeks why is north korea doing this now. And so its very simple and theyre very honest about it is because of the joint military exercises they believe that in singapore last year and vance again in the parliament jorm this year late june u. S. President promised there would be normal joint military exercises and it should be its not merely sticky because if you dont have a society for a long time that kept your nation busy and American Forces and sounds good and forces real become impossible but probably it was possible not to have it this year not scary years decided to show that theyre not happy about it and they begin to launch project trials short range Ballistic Missile very sophisticated level probably capable of begin trading anti Missile Defense missile lank of the key word being joint military drills the us is a participant what do you think is behind the north korean strategy of putting pressure on south korea these are short range missiles why not provoking the United States directly. Yes its exactly what they want is they want to. Be in government and south korean president to feel very very uncomfortable because south korean president is actually quite positive thoughts. Mungy and he said ministration would like to have some exchanges but the can not do anything about the company because of the un sanctions. Can not be engaged in Economic Cooperation so they want basically something symbolic and not scary as door need Something Like joint concert or football match or reach or will they need money and South Koreans cannot deliver it so at dealy but at the increasing pressure on on the expectations there the south korean government will fuel itself uncomfortable and view a lot be even harder for paschall or complete lifting of the current economic sanctions diet in north and if it happens. Are going to hear a lot of nies of what swampland down but not now and do you think that thats a strategy that will pay off for pyongyang i mean how much leverage to the South Koreans have even the either with the United States or International Organizations like the United Nations to ease the sanctions on north korea. Very little leverage i seems that bears they can be playing a very secondary role and their major target is of course the United States but north koreans kept massing tools from being too tough on the cells because. They want but can not deliver what north. Bed you want that is money and economic assistance sought by being tough to to the sols north koreans are losing nothing they are getting money from other means though i mean theres this watch this news agency reporting that the north has generated the billions of dollars for its Weapons Program husing Cyber Attacks what do you make of this how much of a concern will this be to the un the Un Security Council was presented with this report. Its a little murky business i myself my computer is subjected to their theyre very frequently a couple of times their man say would say just yesterday they did it again but its im not exceptional pretty much almost various specialists are subjected to regular hacking attacks and when its possible to see the source its nearly always not scary but. A browse the general scale of hacking activities its always very murky business is advantage is it to be true it isnt 3000000000 i know not some specialists by the way Russian Special is some of whom are quite positive towards last year used to talk about possible or large scale camp aeration skating bands taking Credit Institutions theyve begun to talk about it 57 years ago but nobody probably knows exactly how much money nor stealing or if you want to be polite getting sources activities theres a lot but does it mean quarter 1000000000 doesnt mean 5000000000 its a guess work mr lang off its always fascinating to get your thoughts that is andre lang car live in seoul thank you.
