>> war crimes are being committed on civilians in the syrian region of eastern ghouta easy the u.n. britain's primeinister say the u.k. and e.u. are now close to a deal on e brexit transition, and a final farewell to the american evangelist billy graham. politicians, family and faithful gathered for the funeral of the man who preached to millions. hello and welcome to the program. e international monetary fund has joined international ndemnation of preside trump's plan to impose tariff on imports of steel and aluminum and says such a move will not only hurt other countries but also the united states. stoc markets have fallen since the announcement. china's steel industry called

the move stupid. the europeanommission said it would react if trump goes ahead and canada's prime minister escribed it as unacceptable. >> the integrated name of our there hains means that would be significant disruption in canada but also in the united states. we buy mor steel from the united states than any other country and disruptions to this integrated market would be significant and serious but th's why we were impressing upon the american administratioh unacceptable nature of these professionals that are going to hurt them every bit as much as they will hurt us and we're confident that we'reoing to be able to continue to defend canadian iustry. let's go to washington and our correspondent chris is there for us. what are politicians in washington sayin about this new policy? chris: i think whileumresident is feeting that a trade war is good and easy to win,

there are some within washington and some even within the white hous who are concerned about the potential of what this could mean. essentially from a tde war, there are many who buy into the idea, it's coming from the international monetary fund and from the world trade organization that in simple terms, everybody could endp bloodied by this and you see all nd those trading partners ar the world. canada, brazil, mexico, the european union all saying if these tariffs cnto place they will take action. i think there's a fundamental quarl worth worrying about. they have not worked out the full details of thousand -- how these tariffs will work. it's clear that the white house want to put these tariffs in place but exactly how it will work, will there be i said conclusions? those are things still to be worked out. the european union sayingil n target the lights of harley david sons, bourbon andlu

jeans, the most american of products as they try to tak action even before the tariffs hike place. >> has not -- not come out of thepresident trump did promis in his campaign and f his supportors he's delivering. >> yeah, and america first was that message and you really see the prlem here because president trump has two differentudiences. the international communities who are listening to what he has to say and they're the ones concerned about what these trade tariffs could meanwhile. however, president trump when he's tweeting is often thinking of that different audience, those who supported h throughout the election campaign. in the industrial heart of america where he gained some suppt this is what they want to hear. steam manufacturing has beenn cline in america for not even years but decades and that is something h believes he can tack well these tariffs but

businesses know that it's not past manufacturing. there are many ces, many organizations that rely on steel and america imports much mo than it exports. they are concerned about rising prices as a result of this and they are warning it could really damage industry. look at just one company, for example, the swedish company, electrolux. it has a big base in tennessee. it had planned a $200 million investment in that factory. is the is the it's going tot delay trom concern of rising prices. the reality is will mean jobs or could it put some jobs in danger? >> thank you very much. that's chris buckler in washington. a u nations top hume rights official says that war

crimes are likely being committed in the syrian eastern region of ghout hundreds have been killed outside of damascus the past 12 days and despite the u.n.in cafor a cease-fire over a week ago, the violence hasn't stopped. reporter: so far the united nations humanitarian resolution calling for a cease-fire on 30 days. that exists on paper not in reality. here in eastern ghouta, not far from where i am in damascus, there are great humanitarian needs and the u.n. is ready to send in 45 trucks with food for 90,000. hover, that hasn't happened just yet and may not for a few days more. right across the country, there were hopes among some pele that towards the end of last year that the war may ratchet down, but i think the evidence of this year is that the war may

have changed its shape but it's also escalated. >> another itory stilln syria, a bloody battle is continuing in the north region of afrin. kurdish fighters have been targeted. turkey considered the u.s. backed kurdish militia a terrorist group. the bbc gained access of film on the kurdish side of conflict and we have a report. reporter: nighttime in this province in northeastern syria. and turkish jets are pounding a target at a checkpoint.

the afrin region is the current target of the kurdish offensive but there may also be a move on the beach to ensure fighters are driven well away from the turkish border. they say they're targeting a kurdish group known as the y.p.g. because it poses a streetic threat to theur ksh and others based inside turkey. already, it's forced an estimated 15,000 people to leave their homes in search of safety. t y here traumatized but wha they witnessed. this man said everyone had fled from his village, the being carried. it was terrifying, he said and now he fee the village has been destroyed. no one knows how long they could be stuck here. turkey says t offensive will continue until it'sompletely
