August 12 deadline for China tariffs not set in stone, says US trade negotiator
The United States is aiming for a possible extension of the tariff pause with China, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a television interview released on Sunday. Confronted by a CBS News journalist with claims from the Chinese side that the current deadline of August 12 would be postponed, Greer said: 'That's something we're working toward.' He said China would want that. The interview was recorded on Friday and broadcast on Sunday. Greer added that technical issues were being addressed and discussions were continuing with US President Donald Trump 'I think it's going in a positive direction,' he said. While he did not want to pre-empt Trump, Greer stated that he did not believe anyone wanted tariffs to rise back above 80 per cent. 01:15 Canada, Brazil hardest hit as Trump unleashes new global tariff blitz Canada, Brazil hardest hit as Trump unleashes new global tariff blitz

Groups seek 30% pay rise for Hong Kong domestic helpers to HK$6,500 a month
A coalition of domestic worker unions has demanded an immediate 30 per cent pay rise for Hong Kong's 370,000 helpers to HK$6,500 (US$833) a month and for their food subsidy to be doubled. Advertisement The Hong Kong Federation of Asian Domestic Workers Unions on Sunday blamed current government policy for having left many helpers in a 'hungry and malnourished' condition. Federation representatives raised the demands at a meeting with Labour Department officials. 'The value of our work and our contribution to the economy has to be reflected in our wages,' federation chairwoman Phobsuk Gasing said. 'So many women in Hong Kong are able to pursue their careers because we take responsibility for household duties and care work. Inflation affects our families too, and token adjustments to the [minimum wage] are insulting. 'It is basically like almsgiving.' Advertisement The minimum wage for foreign domestic helpers was raised to HK$4,990 a month last year, up from HK$4,870. Employers must provide their helpers with free food or they can choose to pay an allowance of not less than HK$1,236 a month instead.

Hong Kong leader John Lee in safety pledge over bottled water deals
Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu has pledged to maintain safety as he weighed in on a deal to buy mainland Chinese brands of bottled water for some government offices that will save taxpayers HK$16 million a year. Advertisement Lee also said on Sunday that water samples would be checked regularly and the government would cancel the contracts if standards were not met. 'For drinking water, we attach much importance to safety. It is reflected in our tendering process,' he said. 'Anyone who places a bid must produce a certification of water quality issued by an independent laboratory. Our system also requires the supplier to submit certification from time to time, not only during the tendering process. 'We will also take water samples for regular checks. If we find that [the water quality] does not meet our standards, we can immediately end the contractual relationship with [the supplier].' Advertisement Lee said the government would not compromise on water quality and he was confident that the prevailing system had been effectively and stringently enforced.
