US President Donald Trump says he is ready to intensify his trade war with China by slapping tariffs on all $500bn of imports from the country. "I'm ready to go to 500," he said in an interview. Mr Trump's comments come before the most recent round of US tariffs has had time to take effect. Last week, Washington listed $200bn (£150bn) worth of additional Chinese products it intends to place tariffs on as soon as September. The list named more than 6,000 items including food products, minerals and consumer goods such as handbags, to be subject to a 10% tariff. It is still under public consultation, to last until the end of August. US 'penalized' The President has also been complaining that a strengthening dollar has been hurting US business. In a series of tweets he blamed the higher dollar on currency "mani[CENSORED]tion" by China and the European Union. Mr Trump also criticised the US Federal Reserve for raising interest rates. The US and China have already imposed tit-for-tat tariffs of $34bn on each other's goods. The President's threat to raise that to $500bn represents a major escalation. "We're down a tremendous amount," Mr Trump told, reiterating his view that China's trade surplus with the US amounts to unfair trading practices. When asked if the move might cause a stock market sell-off, he responded: "Well, if it does, it does. Look, I'm not doing this for politics. I'm doing this to do this right thing for our country." he US also wants China to stop practices that allegedly encourage transfer of intellectual property - design and product ideas - to Chinese companies, such as requirements that foreign firms share ownership with local partners to access the Chinese market. Mr Trump has previously hinted at such an escalation, telling reporters two weeks ago that there was "$300bn in abeyance" after the $200bn of goods covered by the latest list, but this is his most explicit threat yet. Many companies in the US are opposed to the administration's use of tariffs against China, saying they risk hurting business and the economy without being likely to change behaviour. European stock markets fell after the interview was broadcast, with the FTSE 100 down 0.4% in afternoon trade. "It's proof, if it were needed, that the president is prepared to go all the way in the trade war to exact concessions from China, which simply cannot match the US firepower," said Neil Wilson, chief market analyst for Markets.com. "In light of the EU and others saying they are ready to respond to tariffs on cars, the stakes are rising fast. Whether we get to the point where there is a full-blown trade war remains debatable, but the odds are shortening by the day."

CUCUTA, Colombia – Standing in the middle of a busy border bridge filled with thousands of Venezuelans lugging babies and suitcases, Mark Green said one element stood out in contrast to every other migration crisis he has witnessed. "This is the first one I've been to which is happening in real time," said Green, chief of the U.S. Agency for International Development, noting that he usually visits countries with established refugee camps. "This is a real time catastrophe," he said. Green traveled to the Colombian border city of Cucuta where tens of thousands of Venezuelans enter each day in search of food, medicine and increasingly, a new life, to announce the U.S. would be donating an additional $6 million to help the nation stem the crisis. In total, the U.S. has now provided nearly $56 million to humanitarian groups and Latin American nations since the start of 2017. More than half of that aid has gone to Colombia, which has received the biggest influx of Venezuelans fleeing their country's economic and humanitarian catastrophe. The U.S. aid to Colombia has focused largely on helping provide food and health services and is being funneled through organizations like the U.N. World Food Program and the international Red Cross. The U.N. initiative kicked off earlier this year with a program to provide vouchers to Venezuelans but quickly derailed. Some Colombians protested outside, angry that Venezuelans were being given a free handout. In addition to coping with a migration crisis, Colombia is also beset by deeply entrenched inequality and still navigating the early, fragile stages of an historic peace process with leftist rebels. The World Food Program now help funds a soup kitchen where thousands of Venezuelans line up each day. About half of the new funding is expected to go toward providing food while the other half will help Colombia provide medical services. Venezuelans have made more than 30,000 visits to Colombia emergency rooms thus far this year, surpassing the total in 2017. With hospitals in cities like Cucuta stretched to the max, the aid is going toward helping launch mobile care units and tents where vaccines and first aid are provided. As Green stood in the middle of the Simon Bolivar International Bridge, Yolimar de Salcedo pushed her 82-year-old grandmother in a stretcher into Colombia in hopes of getting help for a fractured hip. Doctors in Venezuela told the family that they'd need to pay over $5,000 for a new hip and find the surgical supplies required for the operation. In a country where the minimum wage adds up to just a couple of dollars a month, that price was out of reach. Salcedo said there was no ambulance available to take them to the bridge, so they borrowed a stretcher from a fire station and put it in the family's car. "We pushed her ourselves," she said. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has resisted offers for international aid inside the country, contending there is no crisis and that what's really needed is for the U.S. to lift economic sanctions. Green said the U.S. has been looking for ways to provide that help but that thus far those overtures have proven unfruitful. Still, another senior USAID official said he was "optimistic" the panorama could change. If Maduro were to change his mind and allow U.S. assistance, Green said, "We would be ready in a flash."

CHICAGO — Police scuffled with demonstrators Saturday evening in the nation's third-largest city, hours after a Chicago police officer fatally shot a man on the city's South Side. Officers were struck by rocks and bottles as dozens of demonstrators gathered near the crime scene Saturday, according to police. Four demonstrators were arrested late Saturday as police cleared the crime scene, said Anthony Guglielmi, the police department's chief spokesman. Fred Waller, chief of the department's patrol division, said three or four officers were injured. It was not immediately clear what charges the arrested demonstrators face. Police said in a statement that the fatal shooting happened when officers on foot in the South Shore neighborhood tried to question a man “exhibiting characteristics of an armed person. ” Waller added that officers, who were posted in the area, spotted a bulge in the man's pants that they suspected was a weapon. No police officers were injured in the confrontation with the suspected gunman. A weapon was recovered at the scene. "When they approached him, he tried to push their hands away, started flailing and swinging away, trying to make his escape, and as he tried to make his escape he reached for his weapon," said Waller, who said police recovered a semiautomatic firearm at the scene. Asked by a reporter at a Saturday evening news conference whether the suspect had a license to carry a concealed weapon, Waller responded, "As we know now, he did not." The officer who fatally shot the suspect will be placed on desk duty for the next 30 days, standard procedure for the more than 12,000-officer department, while the city's Civilian Office of Police Accountability investigates the shooting. A scuffle later broke out at the scene of the shooting between chanting protesters and police officers holding batons. Video showed several police officers and protesters shoving each other. After nightfall, protesters continued to mill around the neighborhood with police occasionally chasing them away. Protesters shouted insults at the police and threw some bottles at them. Video showed one protester thrown to the ground surrounded by police holding batons. Waller said that protesters also caused damage to squad cars. After police cleared the area near the fatal shooting, some demonstrators moved their protest to the nearby 3rd District police station. Chicago has a troubled history of police shootings and misconduct. The city saw weeks of peaceful protest in 2015 after the release of a video showing white police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting black 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in 2014. Van Dyke was charged with murder. McDonald’s death led to the ouster of the police chief and a series of reforms designed to prevent future police abuses and to hold officers accountable for excesses. Van Dyke is awaiting trial. A 2017 Justice Department review found Chicago officers used force nearly 10 times more in incidents involving black suspects than against white suspects. African-Americans were the subject of 80% of all police firearm uses and 81% of all Taser contact-stun uses between January 2011 and April 2016. Of incidents where use of force was used against a minor, 83% involved black children and 14% involved Latino children during the same time-period, the report notes. Chicago has also spent about $709 million on settlements for police misconduct cases, according to a recent report from the Action Center on Race & the Economy.

Floods caused by heavy rains and thunderstorms in China have destroyed bridges, closed roads and railways and forced thousands of people to leave their homes, state media reported Saturday. The National Meteorological Center said more rain was expected across the country, with the possibility of floods and landslides in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Heavy rain and flooding hit many parts of China at this time of year and often led to hundreds of deaths, but the number of victims this year was relatively small, after the deaths of 15 people. The meteorological center said rainfall could exceed 80 mm per hour in some areas, Saturday. The center also warned of flooding in the northeast and called on the authorities to stop outdoor activities and beware of collapsing buildings. The Yangtze River, which stretches from southwest China's Yunnan Province to the Jiangsu and Shanghai provinces on the east coast, has led to flooding and many water levels in the Three Gorges dam have reached record levels. Floods in the province caused 2.4 billion yuan ($ 358.74 million) in damages by Thursday, the emergency management ministry said. The Xinhua news agency reported Friday that more than 10 major roads in the Sichuan province could not be reached due to flooding and a bridge on the Min River in Sichuan, one of the Angsti factions, collapsed. More than 80,000 residents of the nearby city of Chongqing were evacuated by Friday, Xinhua said.

The US government has reopened an investigation into the 1955 murder of a black 14-year-old boy whose death galvanised the civil rights movement. A Department of Justice (DOJ) report states the agency had received "new information" about the Emmett Till case, but offered no further details. Till was murdered in Mississippi after a white woman accused him of making lewd remarks and touching her. A recent book quoted the woman as admitting she lied in her testimony. The DOJ investigation was announced to lawmakers on 26 March, but has come to light this week after a report by the Associated Press. It is unclear what new information prompted the government to reopen the case, but a book published last year, The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B Tyson, had said Carolyn Donham, the white woman who testified against Till, admitted she lied about the teenager's actions in 1955 during a 2008 interview. Who was Emmett Till? Emmett Till civil rights memorial defaced "Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him," Mr Tyson's book quotes Donham, now in her 80s, as saying. In a letter to a US lawmaker last year, Acting Assistant Attorney General T E Wheeler II had said that the DOJ was "assessing whether the newly revealed statement could warrant additional investigation", the Clarion-Ledger reported. Last April, the Ledger reported that Till's relatives had urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reopen the case. Till's cousin Deborah Watts said she had not known about the reopened investigation until Wednesday, the AP reported. She said the news was "wonderful" but did not want to say anything further to jeopardise the investigation. The Till case had been closed in 2007 after authorities reported all suspects were dead. The 2018 report on Emmett Till is the seventh submitted to Congress, according to the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007. The act requires the attorney general to conduct an annual study of unsolved civil rights crimes and report any findings to Congress. In 2016, the act was extended for an additional 10 years. The DOJ report says that Congress "has stressed" its desire for the department to "continue its efforts to bring justice, wherever possible, to unsolved civil rights cases". Who was Emmett Till? On 24 August, 1955, Emmett Till went into a local store in rural Mississippi to buy some bubblegum. Carolyn Bryant (now Donham), was working there while her husband, the shopkeeper, was away. What happened between them is not clear but when her husband returned, he was led to believe that Till had whistled at his wife. Later, Till would be dragged from his bed at his uncle's home and beaten so badly that his face was unrecognisable when the corpse was recovered from the river three days later. The two men known locally to have carried out the attack were acquitted of murder by a jury. The following year, they admitted responsibility in a magazine interview, but said they had done nothing wrong. Till's death sparked massive rallies across the country - including one hosted by a then-unknown Martin Luther King Jr. Rosa Parks later said she had Till in mind during her now famous protest. Till's death is also thought to have played a part in the congressional discussions that led to the 1957 Civil Rights Act, which increased African American voting rights.

A severely bleeding grandmother was able to drive herself to the hospital after her grandson stabbed her and left her for dead in her home Sunday, Albion, New York, police say. The alleged attacker, 17-year-old Brandon Foster, is charged with attempted murder, WROC reported. Police say it was just before midnight Sunday when Foster climbed atop a chair and forced open a window at the back of his grandmother's home in Albion, according to WIVB. As his grandmother slept, police say, he stabbed her with knife, and when she tried to fight back, he began choking her, the station reported. The grandmother was able to break free and get away, after which Foster took the woman's cellphone and $23 in cash, jumped out a window and ran away, police said, according to WHAM. The grandmother, who was "bleeding profusely," was able to drive herself to a hospital before being flown to different hospital, according to WIVB. Four law enforcement agencies started a manhunt around Albion to locate Foster, complete with bloodhounds and K9 officers, the Buffalo News reported. He had no fixed address and sometimes slept with friends on the streets, police told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Police searched through the night until he was found hiding in some bushes near a Burger King at around 6 a.m., according to the paper. Foster was arrested and taken to the Orleans County Jail, where he faces charges of attempted murder, burglary, assault, criminal obstruction of breathing, and petit larceny, WHAM reported. The grandmother was in serious but stable condition at Erie County Medical Center, according to WROC. Orleans County Undersheriff Christopher Bourke told the Democrat and Chronicle that Foster might have been angry at his grandmother about a previous fight, or might have just wanted to steal money. Bourke told the paper Foster's grandmother had accused him of stealing from her in the past, and also said there are "some mental-health issues that play into it as well. Foster was held with $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
