Because more than football online going to the w. We speak your language our Spanish Program only until. Only swilling someone doesnt miss an accumulative always close to the action but im not hoping youll still get along with all i can get that up to the minute news and opinions the background to political developments. D. W. We bring you more of the oil. Four hundred thirty kilometers an hour crazy stuff thats me feeling aboard a high speed train in shanghai the chinese sure can build trains and thats got the europeans all wired and its their latest mega merger. And they wont call in sick or take holidays the rise of the robots automating millions more workers jobs in just years from now a bit of his will and lets do business and lets start with an International Route its getting heated canadian aircraft make a bomb buddy is vowing to fight what it calls an absurd two hundred twenty percent tariff on its series jets to the us us columnist and says the levy is in response to the canadian Government Support of the aircraft that compete with products from u. S. Jet make a boeing the move puts a new strain on already tense trade relations between the u. S. And its northern neighbor. Who is instructing this story for us from frankfurt conrad whos right and whos wrong in all of this because one body is been rescued by the canadian state and supported by the state and here we have the u. S. China and trump and his tariffs. Yes its very difficult to see through all this but obviously the u. S. Commerce department or somebody there pulled out a really big gun this punitive tariff of two hundred twenty percent is unprecedented not even boeing demanded that the tariff be that high and whos really right and wrong and how much should be determined by article nineteen of nafta the north American Free trade agreement which provides the tracing procedures for cases like this the problem for bombards is that the Trump Administration has argued against this article nineteen in the current ongoing renegotiation of nafta so its a bit in limbo at the moment whether or not the americans will play by the rules and whether they will do it quickly enough or bombards because the company is really in financial trouble and this really gets interesting because it involves europe because the british Prime Minister told trump to try putting a stop to this because of the factory of bombardiers in Northern Ireland but he did listen. Though he didnt listen and of course this raises the question whether we whether he would have listened whether he might have really isnt if he didnt only have to cope with the u. K. s Prime Minister a bit with the whole European Union and its weight when it comes to protecting business in the union of course. We are in the process of getting a divorce from the u. K. Or the European Union is and its quite doubtful whether you know protecting a factory of Northern Ireland is really on the top of the agenda of the European Union right now and it will be a tough battle colorados and thank you to rivals a teaming up to defend europes rail sector germanys eamonn said france is also a merging savings of four hundred seventy Million Euros playing down that that means job cuts they say the chinese pose a threat. The mudgal between siemens and al still ms on track to create a new european giant in the train Building Business in the near future the german i. C. And french t. G. V. Will come from a single manufacturer siemens wants to bring its entire Train Division in return for a fifty percent cut of the new siemens c. K. s appraise the merger was a press conference in paris on wednesday the message of that measure is the european spirit is a life to struggle European Companies are leading the way. Industry by joining forces and come together in a meaningful way and thats a powerful message a powerful message in times which are matched by populism by nationalism. Even after the new firm is founded the pressure on the europeans will increase siemens had considered canadian company. But the deal was reportedly de railed by bomba das shaky finances now the competition also richies need to approve the deal. To take on these from b. W. Business lets start with the job cuts it doesnt sound like theyre going to be many but they could be some at some stage yes well unions right now back the merger because workers in germany and france have been given a four year job guarantee however at the press conference men are just already said that jobs will be slashed eventually especially administrative jobs and i would like to hear that word slash what about the chinese is the chinese threat real well the state owned c r r c company is by far the largest high speed train manufacturer in the world and they are now conquering europe they frequently gained contracts in Great Britain and the Czech Republic and theyre taking more and more pieces of the pie away from storm and siemens and thats why joining forces there and so now theyve been playing a pretty strategic game here a decade ago they didnt have the technology ive been on their trains they fly down those tracks how they managed to catch up and where are they at well up until two thousand and seven they needed to buy foreign high speed trains and they both im usually from europe and from japan then they told those companies we love your trains but if you want to continue to sell them you need to build them right here in china and to put it nicely the chinese learned everything they needed to know then how to make high speed trains and now they build those bullet trains the Fastest Trains on earth they go up to four hundred thirty four hundred thirty five kilometers an hour thats two hundred sixty miles and that shows you how far the chinese chinese have come and healthy as the competent. And as to the competition is fierce what about the rest of europe is it enthusiastic about this merger between siemens and also well the french government is and they asked about it especially president mccraw he says that theres going to be a european champion europe is going to be more more integrated and he takes us as a good example because seventeen years ago for European Countries merged us and to compete against the rival boeing and that has been quite a Success Story and they hope that this is going to continue on the tracks now with the merger so european champion the heir to a european champion on the rails thank you. In a new study the World Economic forum warns robots the said to replace vast numbers of jobs worldwide and that were not ready for this next wave of automation i dont know if theyre any better at making Pizza Research is that Oxford University reckon every second job is a risk in the long term but the institute for Competition Economics and just love says theres no reason for panic pointing to the highly automated german car industry which has seen no significant decrease in factory stuff in recent years gemma joins us now from cook around the International Federation of robotics is in frankfurt joe can we put a number on job losses were talking about job cuts today other robots going to take away that many jobs. Its certainly a good point and its one of the things that people do talk about however as you heard earlier the Automotive Industry in germany is a good example of the actually the opposite in the United States in fact in the last three or four years in a row we have had expects potential growth in terms of the quantity of robots that have been purchased at the same time in michigan and ohio alone theyve added seventy five thousand jobs in manufacturing so basically what theyre saying the air is the largest what are you fields are opening up to us is that the case a whole lot and you chances up if you know these give me some examples exist exactly in fact the Electronics Industry a good example of that that market itself has grown dramatically in across the world even in the United States foxconn is moving a manufacturing facility for l. C. D. Display manufacturing in the United States china korea japan south korea theyre all growing in automation the same time growing in manufacturing because Automation Technologies is helping them to adapt and their Manufacturing Capabilities and the merging of different technologies and all we have available of different sensory capabilities that Work Together with the robotics in people and maybe were more enthusiastic about whats going on Going Forward some of the really exciting things about whats going on in technology as Collaborative Robots in mobility and robots and collaborative meaning collaborative opportunities of humans and robots working together to give us more productivity more efficiency so the Small Medium Sized Companies across the world that is traditionally a challenge will be able to be competitive now have the opportunity with this technology and the ability to use robots in their manufacturing to be competitive worldwide and keep actually the manufacturing in their various countries well tell me about the americans because they seem to be most worried about their jobs trump wants to see americans buy american and also to generate more american jobs how you are laying feeds where you come from as far as robotics go in the way ahead. Its true we see articles on both sides of that in fact the mckinsey report said that less than ten percent of all. Jobs are even automatable but it is it is true that we hear about that in the market people worry about their jobs but actually is the reality to it over the last thirty years every time robotics installations have gone up unemployments going down every time robotics installations are going down or sales gone down unemployment going up so its actually the opposite sexually happen its an evolution of things where whats really happening now is were creating new jobs but that means we also need more skilled workers there is this going to be a shortfall next ten years theres going to be opportunity for three million jobs skilled jobs and we only have available one point four Million People that we will fill those jobs will have a shortfall of two million jobs it wont be able to be filled we need to find a solution to that and part of that will be automation part of the we help educating a retraining people to be working in the state with this technology so were actually creating jobs its the opposite ok you heard it there from jemma need to National Federation of robotics thank you very much for being on the show thank you for having us we appreciate it. And updating our top story the u. S. Response to canadian state support for. Me a two hundred twenty percent tariff on some of its jets the playmaker describes the levy as absurd and business but it.
