Bellies Still Service center a Family Business owned by chris pagani the Company Sells a variety of still for sale are made for customers and this region projects that the worst. And cost more because a president imports. In the short term theyre going to create higher prices and higher prices of it. Transferred down the my customers just right down the line. Thank many others chris is concerned about rising prices and the potential still shot it and still hes convinced president s trump made the right decision. Im happy that its going to happen yeah absolutely its going to do is to master production and it will put people to work in this area. I think two plants already are slated to come back online and thats not bad you know so im happy that its happened in the long run chris but again he grew up in this region that used to be the heart of the American Steel industry people here still hold state for addition dia he says and in fact one in seven of the nation still workers still live in this region one of them is called so rich as the president of the local union dont the United Steelworkers Union in west mifflin has been calling for tariffs on foreign steel for decades hes dream came true when he was invited to the white house in a show as well you guys are going to be lined up behind a president and. Like it or no way im going to be standing behind the president maybe outside of a white officer saw him but. So they put it together and they put a plan together and it happened and what i saw i was so excited i was in awe you know what i mean what a what a great author i was so humbled. Scott doesnt belief that the tariffs will necessarily lead to a trade war and eventually harm other industries in the u. S. If you buy a car and you buy an appliance often the a buy it and its a consumer knowing that its going to go up a couple dollars on still pennies apollo and and maybe itll be couple on your always talks on a car knowing that it will stimulate the economy as far as in our area you know and create jobs in his store and something positive who could argue that fact so i say its wall street propaganda thats what i said. The Steel Workers in pennsylvania do not expect miracles but they say they are grateful that at last someone in washington has taken up their concerns and is trying to save their industry. Last months Florida School shooting also shocked students and teachers here in germany. Reporters visited a school near the city of dortmund in the rose valley to watch a Training Course designed to prepare pupils for the worst case scenario. Yet. These kids may be play acting but what theyre simulating is highly sinister School Shooting thats what you do with a gunman storm stay classroom and they arent able to run the weight of it. Fightback say these teachers. Thats what this great seven class is practicing theyre being taught that together they can overrun an attack or a stone cold this case could actually happen and if it does i dont think it will be as easy as in the simulation im scared that in a real emergency things could happen very differently and for us and its also. Doesnt accept. Learning how to barricade themselves into a classroom is also an important part of the exercise students know when they hear a fire alarm they have to run outside in the event of an attack its the exact opposite thats whats rainer hinds cuffed is trying to make clear he and other teachers at this high school in western germany began this training sessions a few years ago the classes like this are its been a where most schools in germany own wary of tackling this topic so head on. I dont think schools here are prepared attacks or to do subject there are training sessions for teachers but generally if there is a reluctance to train and educate the students mainly i think because schools dont want to unsettle them before the. Likelihood of a School Shooting in germany is relatively low but that doesnt stop it from being on the students minds especially after the latest tragedy at a high school in florida. The host as chinas pretty crazy whats happening in the us with the guns and everything and assurance i think its good that its not so easy to get a gun here in germany and call it soft others definitely i think would probably feel very different hit because gun laws a much stricter people cant just get hold of a weapon that. Everybody here hopes theyll never have to put what theyve learned into practice knowing theyre prepared is enough to put many of these students minds at ease.
