China trade war could inadvertently lead to a recession. Serious farmers in the netherlands take to the streets in their tractors causing bumper to bumper traffic for miles to tell you why. And the us the green power sector faces some powerful headway. This is the the way of business im. In berlin while we start in the u. S. Where manufacturing has taken a hit the latest survey of the sector showed a tumble to a 10 year low the institute for supply managements purchasing Managers Index fell for the 6th straight month of the sharp decline in exports and slowing Consumer Spending the contraction in the Manufacturing Sector is now fanning fears of a recession in the u. S. Lets cross over to us and alisa haro on the wall Street Center we spit of an irony there the whole point of the trade war is to protect u. S. Industries from foreign dominance now that that hasnt worked are we going to see a change of course. You never know with trumpet ministration you know but it is all going to retentions not only with china. E. U. And also with the u. S. M. C. A. To replace not top group in congress yet the manufacturers farmers retailers and other industries all suffering through and also do consumers say keeping the economy good girls alive on unemployment rates are low will be crucial in the next president ial election so trump my dont rethink he has a strategy especially at a time in between investigations that will make it more and more difficult for him to focus on on pursuing he is a policy agenda in the meantime he will probably keep pressuring the Federal Reserve to keep lowering rates and briefly also as you can fears of a recession have been in the air quite a while how much more and ease could this for a manufacturing report trigger. It is a concern among investors i mean comments you know especially if we dig a main some of the details such as the new export order are sold so delayed is the 2 aeration. Partly due to destroy the general. Motors which are begun and its a time for and there are all their worries and seem times in all the different index which investors are guessing if we will head into a recession any time soon. Thank us had the least the horror there with a view from wall street for us. General motors has temporarily laid off 6000. 00 workers in mexico due to a u. S. Labor strike that has disrupted production at 2 plants there the carmaker said the move was a result of a part shortage due to a United Auto Workers strike against yet the move comes on top of a furlough of 3000 workers in the u. S. And canada nearly 50000 u. S. Employees joined the walkout which is in its 3rd week. Chinas been on something of a corporate shopping spree in recent years its been buying up all types of businesses saving some and ruffling feathers to fail in failed attempts to take over others the latest case concerns a german airport in the black forest a solitary helicopter buzzes over the runway but theres not much else going on here at lower airport in southwestern germany theres a boeing 747 used for test flights otherwise the skies are empty but because the city of largo has contacts in china investors there learned about the former military airfield the mayor says it has a lot of potential. To you if you look around the world there arent many people who are in a position to recognize these benefits and take action as well as provide the financing so sooner or later youre going to have to deal with china but the idea of the chinese taking over the airfield caused a stir in the city of 47000. 00 after all Flight Operations have been kept going at least on a small scale thanks to a tunnel Boring Company head on it likes things the way they are and it isnt alone in rejecting the new plan. Its not just new to defy the law doesnt need it to the airports doing well it is a good solution with and connect and other companies on board we can keep going the way we often now and take our time to see if there are opportunities for investments the best will give british and Australian Companies already had big plans to connect lara with the world but they failed what the chinese solution be any better. And theyve been very bad experiences with chinese investors that other courts with had our fingers burnt the only word i need to say is hun frankfurt han airport is not a remote region of western germany quite far from frankfurt for years it was a financial burden on the 2 german states that jointly owned it in 2017 chinas h. N. D. Group took it over the result. Of that we have almost doubled our growth in freight and thats something we can be satisfied with but theres not much we can do about macroeconomic developments and. Translation global trade conflicts are causing cargo levels to fall again a glance at the terminal suggests theres little chance of a revival for frankfurt han passenger numbers have fallen by almost half over the past decade even so the airport is still an important employer in the region leaving people there dependent on the chinese back in lar the airfield has also created numerous jobs but they have nothing to do with air traffic instead its thanks to companies that have located on the former military base its being described as the netherlands worst ever traffic jam on tuesday a protest by dutch farmers flock hundreds of kilometers of road they feel that as the net of the netherlands tries to be greener they are taking the biggest hit. The farmers got up early to give the rest of the netherlands a rude awakening they set off on a tractor trip to the hague to demand a fair deal locally made local call the netherlands is a world leader in Animal Welfare no emissions minimal use of pesticides no other country does that better than us but we dont get the respect to 17000000 dutch inhabitants nor the dutch government so thats why were leaving for the hague now in our. What followed was a go slow one the netherlands roads lead to a nightmare rush hour for many the protest is part of an angry reaction to reports that largely blamed farmers for spiralling nitrogen emissions the farm owners feel theyve been unfairly targeted while other sectors such as air travel are escaping scrutiny and its great hes got skipper the strange thing is that more planes are allowed to fly a cheap all airports and there are no restrictions no limitations while they emit lots of c o 2 and also the dutch harbors all industry they pollute the air but its up to us the farmers who have to improve. With their exports bringing in 1000000000000 euros to the dutch economy last year farmers feel they hold serious sway among their demands and no further limits on the number of animals they can keep and an independent review into their emissions the dutch government has promised it will listen to their concerns.

When power is the Fastest Growing mode of electricity production in the world the opening of an offshore wind farm along the u. S. The northeastern coast is bringing nearby residents benefits by the freeze but the sector is seeing some resistance a spectacular sunset on block island on the u. S. Northeast coast between boston and new york the island is home to the countrys 1st and only offshore wind farm the 5 Wind Turbines power the island and there are a popular attraction for residents and visitors to tourists pay 25. 00 each for a high speed boat ride to the structures that stand twice as high as the statue of liberty block island homeowners have seen dramatic changes since wind energy replaced a diesel fuel power plant. I dont smell the power plants anymore i dont hear the power plant anymore and the power is is much cleaner were really happy that. Power is cheaper it went from down by about a 3rd the cost per kilowatt hour. Wind energy has also become one of the Fastest GrowingUs Energy Sources with big corporations planning to invest 70000000000. 00 in the countrys 1st utility scale offshore wind farms. But this man really hates Wind Turbines is us President Donald Trump on twitter he calls wind energy dangerous and promotes coal and oil instead. If you have a windmill anywhere near your house congratulations you has just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer you tell me that what are your that claim was immediately refuted by the American Cancer Society but people fear the Trump Administration could destroy a booming industry with a huge potential for future proof jobs. And i suspect they know that investors for future projects are going to look at the delays and cumbered by this project and think twice before they invest in wind power in the interior department surprised and alarmed when power supporters last month when it unexpectedly withheld approval for Vineyard Wind some 25 kilometers off the north east coast it already has contracts to supply massachusetts Power Companies and it was expected to go online in 2022.
