Plastic model turned into a paving stone why do algae make it clear. Good idea can work anywhere and there are people developing Smart Solutions everywhere. Lets inspire others to go into africa vitamin a disease on d w. Two to be. Swerving to avoid a trade feud comic is sit down with the u. S. Ambassador to discuss tearing up tariffs. But washington still plans to slap beijing with speak levies from its morrow china says it will retaliate immediately. And came into that mogul kim dotcom. Loses his bid to avoid extradition to the u. S. To face criminal charges. And then fizzle and lets do business where hours away from a full blown trade war all sides scrambling the threats of retaliation is still on the table but leaders in europe china and the us ensuring to keep the door open to talks the question is will it be enough to stop this dispute from damaging billions of dollars in business. U. S. Tariffs on chinese goods go into effect on friday. The twenty five percent levy will apply to a host of technological products the value of the measures thirty four billion dollars chinas response a range of tariffs on American Goods also worth thirty four billion dollars also from friday and this could only be the beginning washington has a ready threatening further action prompting china to accuse the us of fueling a trade war. May have noted that the us has again threatened to impose new tariffs on the five hundred billion us dollars worth of chinese products. Not only that its also made this kind of threat to other countries and regions. Far tulip least of the regime. And further escalation could have profound effects European Companies operating in china fear they could end up on the front lines of the trade battle. And there are also concerns that the dispute could slow global growth. Lets look at the damage bill with in our financial correspondent in frankfurt conrad this trade war isnt even in full swing but were already seeing Companies Shifting production altering their supply chains bring us up to date on the damage. Well you know mostly in companies they are still in the thinking and planning process when it comes to shifting supply chains and production from one country to another as in many cases its very complex and expensive to do that the shifting of supply has changed already in parts of the Business World where its relatively easy for example china completely has stopped buying soybeans in the United States and at the same time the purchases from china in brazil have increased thirty percent in may what i can tell you is that all this already has cost Many Companies a lot of money because. Even the thinking and planning is costly and Needs Resources and the prices of many commodities and other stuff that Companies Need to produce more complex products have already risen in anticipation of the terrorists and then their market value i mean weve seen trillions one Global Equity markets the traders bracing for more of that absolutely the potential is there that this will continue to weigh on the equity markets on the stock markets just as investors are easily ready to be happy about every sign of you know hope and confidence today here in frankfurt the carmakers shares were skyrocketing due to reports that the American Ambassador to germany has talked to the bosses of the car maker about potentially slashing all tariffs on cars obviously investors are desperate for signs of talk and tension cooperation between at least the europeans and the United States you know lets see what those overages do tomorrow contribution first in frankfurt thank you very much. Chancellor Angela Merkel is willing to talk with germanys trading partners about reducing judis on cars can i mention that meeting between the Us Ambassador to germany and Auto Executives here in berlin oh Richard Grinnell said that the white house would scrap all auto tariffs if the e. U. Did to donald trump is counted import levies on european cars as his next move in the trade dispute with the us president is under pressure from American Business leaders who say he so hurt them to. Kevin hide unhide is director of Foreign Trade policy and Economic Development at the association of german chambers of commerce and industry to explain to us what is going on behind the scenes this is very exciting weve only got hours left leaders a scrambling and suddenly the Us Ambassador holds a secret meeting in berlin with Auto Executives well first of all its good they were talking about reducing terrorists not about raising tariffs any more and thats what they were talking about the issues that are ongoing right now in the war trait but the. German automobile manufacturers and the best they can do to see you can unit whos doing the trade policy and of course they have to reduce the always tariffs so weve already got merkel saying this sounds like a good idea but shes talking about from the quotes ive seen cutting tariffs not slashing them all together why not bring it all back to zero where it was a long time ago when of course the industry wants no a tell us we want less trade barriers of course because it means higher costs for the companies not just lower tariffs no tariffs absolutely i mean zero toes would be great because it would also reduce the prizes for the customer but we need it in a comprehensive agreement it cant its not possible to do is just as one sector just with one branch we need a comprehensive agreement with everyone and with the whole ward so not just unilaterally which laterally but multilaterally i mean it was something that was set up in the c. P. P. Which trump scrapped. Obviously his strategy is to get. The best terms he can fit his country and not for the world is that how how you read into this because hes trapped the taping hes only interested in doing things sector by sector and country by country of course everybody wants to have the best of an agreement but if humans are complicated we need is a comprehensive agreement on all sectors for all companies on all goods and all kinds of trade barriers not only terrors there are the trade barriers that are limiting German Companies in the world so yes we need to reduce them and we need to do this in a comprehensive agreement according to the w. T. Own laws but trump and the Us Administration is is doing is theyre doing like pilots who are deals which are courting to the only goshi asians are either very difficult to achieve or even even maybe not possible because theyre violating the International Trade laws so you think we still need a w. Cio we still need those rules in place to ensure that we get fair trade as well as possibly free trade at one stage at some time. But as far as these tariff negotiations go right now i mean this is or could be a major breakthrough what were hearing today well its a first step of course we want to talk about knowing terrorists and of course we can have the automobile sector alike as one pillar of a comprehensive agreement but yes we need to do this on the rules of the w t o and that means we have to include other countries who are also producing cars not only the United States is this all the result of the pressure europe has been putting on the u. S. Or am i missing something here well the reason why there is right now an investigation about cars imported to the us is because the United States think they might threaten their National Security and i can say that german cars who are actually produced in the United States we have. Many many common factors united staes and from germany both of them japan korea who do producing in the states and an s. U. V. From. He was which was bigger than the United States doesnt affect National Security so the reason behind that of cause has no grounds where you see this all heading bit not tonight. Is it going to turn into a full blown trouble what happens at midnight is that we have an ongoing trade conflict between the u. S. And china and the tears that are coming of course they will affect directly companies in the u. S. And china also jam companies in both countries but also indirectly affect the whole interconnected in very complicated supply chains all over the water. Thank you very much for coming in today.
