Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us. U. S. President donald trump has arrived in china for what his aides view as the most significant part of his five country tour of asia chinese president xi jinping and his wife gave the u. S. President and first lady a private tour of the forbidden city a compound in the center of beijing the two president s have a lot to talk about the u. S. Hopes that china will ramp up economic pressure on its ally to abandon its Nuclear Ambitions more than a night at the opera president trumps asia trip brings him to china where his key themes trade and north korea converge china is one of americas largest trading partners and north koreas major sponsor. Competing for Global Commerce but also partners in it part of trumps trip includes a signing ceremony for commercial deals between the two countries worth about nine billion dollars. Trade is tricky Business Trade imbalance is a big issue for trump he even said it got him elected one year ago and its really big with china. The u. S. Leader in service says enjoy Service Trade surpluses with china and many other countries however trade in goods easily wipes out these gains in two thousand and sixteen that left the u. S. In a three hundred ten billion dollar hole with china which trump is keen to climb out of. Two of the worlds most powerful leaders havent always seen eye to eye but there may be room for Common Ground trump is a business person you know i mean. You know his president president you know status but china is a business a state. So a businessman and a business state they would understand oh lets do business together. While they have very different leadership and speaking styles trump and she appear to be forging a relationship based on mutual business interests. Lets take further now into the dynamic between these two leaders we are joined by andreas lawrence a journalist and former asia correspondent for the german publication there spiegel thank you so much for being with us here in the studio this is not for me. You know we know that that the trumpet ministration in particular that they seem to consider china to be you know that the key to controlling north korea in fact what do you expect from talks over this issue i think that the time is government president s will try to convince. President not to use military means to talk to get north korea. Because the chinese dont like. The. Military means they need to peaceful neighbor they dont like north korea they dont like. North korea but they know that they have to live in peace with. I think they will try to convince mr to mr trump not to use military means maybe to get all we saw was korea china and to us in the going to negotiation table first to find out how they came to have as north korea but ultimately i mean this is really about not only military means but also up putting more pressure on north korea that is really what the United States wants do you just see that as a feasible possibility and in addition to that i mean what you just generally speaking make of the dynamic between these two leaders because you know china very much a country that has been on the rise some say the u. S. Has been on the decline how is that impacting the dynamic especially over this issue of hurriya rights i think that there are there are no chances to talk for mr trump to convince the chinese to do more towards north korea because the chinese say we do everything what we can we are dealing according to the u. N. Security council keeping with the sanctions the problem is that they are in fact the chinese stopped oil exports to north korea but not to that extent mr trump ones i do think that they will not they will not do what mr trump is trying trying they want they want to convince them. Yes both of those leaders well thats thats an interesting fact there theres one the the real estate the property magnate from america and the rich princelings that convinced communists and the very convinced capitalist they seemed what we were seeing during the meeting at the post they seem to get along they seem to understand themselves its absolutely and on that note i mean theyve been incredibly complimentary of one another theyre calling this visit by trump especially. Strategy and in fact theyre classifying plus trouble also very complimentary of paying but yet there are these difficult issues that weve mentioned north korea one thats also likely to come up is the balance of trade because the United States very concerned about chinas massive trade surpluses how do you see that factoring into the conversation this will probably come up definitely come up with a trade deficit of them versus what three hundred forty seven billion u. S. Dollars huge amount of amount of money the americans like steamed are concerned about the its chinese trade practices. About socalled intellectual Property Rights unfair trade practices so. Talk about that the chinese i guess will try to calm him down they do that by doing a lot of trade. Contracts they will buy more soybeans theyre both buying more liquid goods they have a buy more airplanes so they make it so they make trump saving face in front of his public in america we want to thank you very much andreas lawrence for telling us a little bit more about how you see the situation of trumps visit to china journalist and former asia correspondent for the german publication spiegel thank you very much. Lets get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world democrats in the u. S.

Germany could become the first european country to recognize a third gender thats after a ruling from the countrys highest court it found that people who dont see themselves as either male or female have a right to have their identity recognized lawmakers now have until the end of next year to change the birth register and draw a new rules on how gender is desiccated. Often lets turn now to Political Correspondent simon younger standing by in our parliamentary studio so simon just remind us who are intersex people. Yours or intersex is a term that applies to people whose bodies are not evidently or exclusively are either male or female and this can often be seen in the persons chromosomes for instance the person who brought this legal case has only an x. Chromosome and not either a y. A chromosome or a second x. Chromosome that would identify them as male or female its hard to get hard and fast numbers on this but it seems this affects about ten thousand. And start to several tens of thousands of people in germany and it can also be a matter of anatomical features and hormones as well so the definition is a bit fluid so whats been the situation in germany on top now and how is it likely to change Going Forward as a result of this ruling. You know its normal in germany to record the gender of a newborn baby and at the moment there are three options for doing for what you can write in the register male female or no information i. E. To leave to leave that blank what this ruling will do is to require the government to change the law by the end of two thousand and eighteen to allow a designation of intersex or some other positive term as the court put it so thats how thats whats going to change and it seems likely that in the fullness of time the government might have to change the law on passports and id documents as well because at the moment they only allow male or female designation samiam with the very latest on this story germany could become the first year peon country to recognize a third gender thanks so much for filling us ed on what it all means. Here watching news still to come on the program the despair of roe hinge of refugees through a camera lens a photographer tell t. W. About some of the people that came out of bangladesh and their hopes for the future. And one hundred years after russias botia back revolution we need a modern day protester in St Petersburg who wants to topple the establishment. But in the meantime germanys economy is in an exceptionally good place gary hart alphas has been tracking that positive news thats right whats the latest thats ready when you believe the annual report of the countrys so called economic economics agees thats an influential panel of Economic Experts advising the government and germany is in the midst of a strong as they say the experts forecast growth of two percent for the current years a year and as much as two point two percent for twenty eighteen that translates into quite a decent tax revenues and some financial leeway which say the wise men and one woman would be wisely used on tax cuts both an individual income and on Business Revenues the council also recommends the government invest in education and research as well as in germanys crumbling infrastructure that means improving roads and speeding up Internet Access which is an International Embarrassment in most parts of this country economists last felt as a member of that influential Advisory Council little earlier i asked him about the realities of the tax cuts. Well first of all it depends what type of tax cut is planned by the newly forming government when there. Would be a reduction of the income tax schedule they need the lender in the winter sought to agree with then that it might not be not be easy to achieve then but in general i must say what is the top priority in our point of view is continuing with sound fiscal policies the leeway for tax cuts is not as large as the projected surplus Budget Surplus of the general government indicates so structurally speaking when you take all the Business Cycle effects out and make cyclical adjustments the only way for tax cuts is much lower and the priority then must be so to speak as a second priority after a sound fiscal policy is to come up with tax reforms that increase the potential output of the economy and therefore the capacities and when you talk about tax cuts do you have any recommendation about how by how much tax like the income tax for example should be cut. Well we are not advocating a particular reduction we are saying when you look at the structural budgetary surplus next year its about point four percent of g. D. P. According to our forecast. But what the government must find out what is the best solution by bringing together income taxes on the one side in the solidarity surcharge on the other side and the difference between both is in particular in two respects for income tax cuts the government needs to concent of the lender. But also the burden of tax cuts. In the sense of less revenue for the general government is shared between them and on the other hand if a solidarity surcharge is cut this means that only the federal government has to bear the revenue reductions but on the other hand it doesnt need to lend at the consent. You say that theres also a danger of the German Economy overheating what does that mean and what can be done to prevent it. Well what we currently see is that were running above capacity in the German Economy if you have countercyclical economic policies this would finally trigger stronger price increases as we currently see the forecast inflationary to be at about one point eight percent next year core inflation would even be higher by one point nine percent so we are coming very close to the two percent target and additional public spending in areas where the economy is already above capacity would only increase prices very briefly if you can what about Infrastructure Investment what does germany need their briefly please. I currently there are already several infrastructural projects that are running and Infrastructure Investment has taken up particularly i would not add additional money because the Construction Industry doesnt have the capacities to conduct these additional works lost felt one of the wise men of the economy thank you very much for joining us today thank you.
