Coping. And can European Space engineers improve the ariana program and compete with private challenges like space x. I want to get gems of this is g. W. Business live from berlin thanks for joining us and its another good day for asian markets shares rose today as upbeat signals from sino u. S. Trade talks found hopes of an easing of trade hostilities in early trade shanghai edged up point one percent void by u. S. President on a trumps announcement on tuesday that the u. S. And china are close to agreement on phase one of a trade deal Hong Kong Rose 0. 2 of a percent that was helped by economist titan alibaba which hylda on another 2 percent but only a day after its hong kong debut saw it rally more than 6 percent. So time to catch up with our Financial Market correspondent only boats in frankfurt only good to see you and of course our trams announcement that were close to a f h one trade deal for that before right. Yes ive literally lost count of how many times trump and there have been statements from china theres been a back and forth and there is some measure of the stress here in the market one Market Strategist who talked yesterday said that its finally time to put an actual deal on paper pen to paper thats whats going to dramatically change the market narrative having said that with the hope for a deal still being kept alive by this back and forth or in spite of it. That the dow and others reached record highs on wall street yesterday and lastly here in europe share prices are also high the dax at least close to its former all time high despite all this more actually ive got another question for you shortly so stick around its one of those well known dilemmas business interests meet human rights issues has not defended its Production Facility in junction province after leaked government documents shed light on chinese detention camps holding over a 1000000 recourse and other muslim minorities in the region the comic to say its hoped to contribute to the Regions Development and is closely monitoring the situation that meanwhile the german and u. S. Governments to china to opt hold human rights. But that its back to 25 when he was an awful crime shareholder making awful lot. Well i think the majority of them have not so far been aware of this issue thats brewing there theyll become theyll be becoming aware of it now their reports and the media now in german papers for example the share price so far as not been expected but theres a lot on the line here from the point of the shareholders from the point of the Volkswagen Group because because it has numerous factories there it has 16 subsidiaries its the companys largest market and its very profitable but the company itself defends itself and being there it says that it said yesterday hope to contribute to the Regions Developments with its activities and change on by offering employment we want to help improve the social environment of the people in europe k. Thats what volkswagen says. If it pulls out of the region and gives way to lets say human rights issues it will anger the Chinese Government if it doesnt it comes under fire here you said a real dilemma rightly bouts of profit thank you. About a quarter of the global pick population is expected to die as a result of an epidemic of african swine fever thats according to the World Organization for Animal Health the epidemic has been spreading over a year now august heat is china where prices soaring. Pork is a staple in chinese diets but for many chinese its becoming a luxury the price has at times tripled within the past year i sit and get to eating less pork now ive definitely been affected by that now we eat it once a week before we were eating it 2 or 3 times a week and really when you see you know a little better now. Behind the soaring prices is an outbreak of african swine fever the virus is harmless to humans but its decimated chinas livestock herds some 200. 00. 1000000 pigs have already been killed due to the disease about 40 percent of all stocks and to diminish starke means rising prices but its not just consumers who are suffering. And yet the price of pork has increased and definitely there are less people buying it and eating it honestly speaking we dont want the prices to be high we sell more when the price is low or if the cost is high the profits will be low. Restaurants are also affected they have to try and absorb the rising prices but inevitably end up passing costs along to consumers in order to make something. The consequences of swine fever has spread to the countrys political and Economic Policy the beijing government has increased imports for example from argentina in a bid to keep costs low gloriana. Gaza city Council Places high importance on the issue of the rise in port prices and has already enacted a series of measures these measures and policies up to now appear to have an idea that has that impact which can happen in fashion digits oil. It will be months however before chinese pork production recovers thats when the next generation of pigs will reach maturity for slaughter provided the virus doesnt get them 1st. I want to cross over to our correspondent suzanne han in a thai pie how long will it take for china to recover from all that. Well monika it depends on how you define the recovery if were talking about production according to experts china need more than 5 years before the pork production could recover back to the previous wife of a levels but china is not only the worlds biggest consumer they talk about how more and more people feel unhappy because they have to change their diet so that we dont know how long it would take for the Chinese Government to counter anger of the public of course the governments already done something in a bid to keep costs low beijing has increased imports for example from argentina does that ease the pain somewhat among chinese consumers yes to a certain level because we have to understand 700000000. 00 pics are slaughtered every year in china so there is a huge demand of course the Chinese Government has increased its pork imports by more than 40 percent in the 1st 9 months but thats still far from enough so the Chinese Government also gave subsidies and discounts to help frustrated producers and consumers but much more need to be done to solve this problem. On the suits im reporting there from taipei thank you so much.

This week could be crucial for the future of European Space missions the ministers off the east Member States meet in spain to discuss how much they want to invest in what kind of projects high on the agenda is the new launch vehicle ariana 6 which cost around 3. 00 and a half 1000000000 euros to develop but will it make European Space launches more profitable its a challenge for engineers. Europes new Space Shuttle is launching into a fiercely competitive market with new financially powerful rifles and its a biased contest the chinese russians and americans benefit from many Public Sector orders noticed institutional launches which can only be given to domestic rockets this stipulation doesnt apply in europe space x. Office prices in europe that are hard for domestic launches to compete with. The distance of inclusion of this country thats nobler confirmation its not a secret. If you Search Online youll see that space x. Recently sold launches for falcon 9 for 100000000. 00 and offer the same rockets to europe for 50000000. 00 thats half the price. Of 50 on the board. Pars. The launch costs for arianas 6. 00 have to be brought down dramatically by at least 40 percent which is no mean feat. Thats why theyre relying on synergies. New boosters have been developed and tested but they give the shuttle the thrust it needs during takeoff and they will likely be used for europe small of a caracas as well. This means they can produce more units which reduces production costs. The operators expect the biggest savings to come from the new production methods like the protective insulation on the upper section. Plates used to be glued to the outside of the rocket by hand a time consuming process. 6 and for the 1st time these components are sprayed on by her got. To mimic like this creates a uniform surface which is important for the structures on the upper section. Because its much better and easier for you have much better control of the process. And its much more Cost Effective than the previous method would sit there are 2. 00 versions planned for the new rocket one will be able to launch 2 satellites and the other will be able to launch for the operators hope this flexibility will help to attract more customers. That calling for e. U. Funds for rockets to go to european producers. Because india fumio were much more dependent on the commercial market its just a question of fairness if we have institutional launches and europe we should launch with a european rocket. Up to 12 rocket so to be produced are nearly double the previous amount. This fuel tank will soon take off on its maiden flight. The 1st ariane 6 will launch from French Guiana at the end of 2020.
