4:11 am
offerings. >> where the companies are thinking about longer term restructuring. down sizing their labor force or bring people currently on the schemes back to work looking at the airline industry or german car industry it looks like above the impact from corona, there is a lot of structural change going on i would assume not all of the jobs will be maintained. when we look at the german response to the pandemic, one of the features have been the prag mattism shown. does this mark change at the top or should we expect to see the
4:12 am
government return to their view around balanced budgets moving forward? >> this government will only be in place another 1.5 years the cleaning up will be the job of another government it wasn't such a dramatic change it was defending the famous black sir owe. he sulz said if things go according to plan, of course if something goes wrong and at the time, nobody was thinking about corona pandemic. the government was always prepared like in 2009, 2010 to fight the package. the response had to be expected.

4:16 am
lockdown quite a contrast to other countries. obviously with all the plans, there is basically the idea to use the money to push for further digitalization and a green economy. at the end of the day, i think most of this transition has to come from corporate germany. if you look at how germany has dealt with the shock so far, if you take the pandemic itself and the number of infections and things like that, actually some of these kind of features of the german economy, we are criticized for at the german levels and cozy relationships between the industrial partners.

4:22 am
train station here in milan where you can't see them but it is packed with reporters and camera crews everyone is trying to understand what the italians are feeling. how are they acting at this opening up and lifting of the travel ban what we got was not too much excitement the capacity of the trains leaving is at about 15%. these trains can be filled at most 50% to ensure all of these safety measures that have to be applied. they are keen on moving around and cautious of that put in place. you still have to wear a mask outside and three or four regions is one of them you still have a lot of restrictions in terms of social distancing
4:23 am
you cannot hug and kiss. if you want to go to a bar and have a coffee, you can't stand up you have to be seated and be distanced. the same goes for restaurants. it will be a slow pick up for tourism. for italians as well as tourists from outside it looks like mostlystaying in italy. less beach than you would expect limitations there are extensive. the distancing there is harder to carry out on a beach. tourists from outside may not get that experience. we may not be getting that many people coming from the united states the gdp that depends on tourism is going to take a hit this summer as well as services in the meantime, italians are getting back to work getting the economy back to normal we expect to see a decline

4:25 am
for the mark on the channel. i don't see anything quite the opposite. for the uk government. in the last 48 hours, they've talked about having a make or break summit by the end of the month. that is one enormous headache. we've started to talk about the trade wars and begun to talk about brexit again as the reaction has been front and center as it should have been the last three or four months he's going to have an absolutely bruising encounter today the leader of the option has been forthright in the attacks of the government in recent
4:26 am
weeks we know where he's gone on this one he feels the government has burnt its trust. getting a grip on the management over the covid-19 response all risk the second wave of infections the government is winging it as well talking about one of the issues and talking about quarantining for uk passengers coming into the country. facing enormous questions questions such as how on earth will this be enforced. a whole host of questions.
4:27 am
will be an interesting 24 hours. >> exactly so many brits are trying to look at that. thank you for breaking it down for us new german car registrations were down around 50% in may to around 170,000 cars between january and may. new registrations down to 35% to around 990,000 cars that is a pretty grim picture for the german car industry. 50% in may so a pretty steep drop on a day when the auto stocks are rallying coming up, british company beacon claims it could challenge. off to a strong start. ceo fraser robinson joins us after the break.

now we have the uk numbers the final services come in at 29 flat better than the flash estimate in line with what we saw across the eurozone the composite number rose from 30 in may versus a preliminary reading the uk beating flash estimates on services and composite number the message from the euro area pmi and the uk is that we have bounced off the lows in the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic but still looking at the contraction. the pace has eased we are looking at a green start to trade for u.s. markets the dow looking at 195 point

4:37 am
got to be clear about that distinction. >> you've got the attention of the world now and that's great you've got the attention saying we are digital, they are analog as well. those won't stay analog as well. they'll watch and say, yeah, i get it they'll do it as well. all these companies saying, we'll go digital now and squeeze you out. >> it is a great question. we expect it to dig ties itself. it's a trend already happening certainly in the experience i've had previously it is much more difficult for large companies to retrofit and make themselves more efficient overnight. they are either buying technology or businesses to help them get there starting with the technology
4:38 am
first and foremost i think you have a better shot some will do so less so we shall see i'm confident there is a huge opportunity for us there is a gap for the meaningful market share and we've already seen that. >> i hear you. expecting all of these all the time lapping up digitalization as well is it striking for them to say, we cannot retrofit it, we'll just buy you would you like that? >> no. we think we have a chance of building something quite big and meaningful you have to remember the industry we are in is not
4:39 am
one of the top players the remaining 60% is spread across thousands of freight forwarders around the world. we think while we can put a lot of pressure, there is a lot of business to be consolidated around the world we think we can join the ranks without having to sell out, as you say to one of the other businesses >> how is your business different from uber freight which seems to be working along similar lines. >> uber freight. a very good question an important one uber freight is a complimentary business to businesses like us what they do is that they are a marketplace for arranging simpler a to b truck loads if you need to get goods by truck only or lori
4:40 am
freight forwarder is with goods that has to be trucked to a port to get to a ship or airplane to arrive at a destination to get back on a truck, go back through customs. the uber freight piece is a component they can and will be a great partner for us it is fundamentally a very different business >> thank you, ceo of beacon. the trump administration has launched an investigation into digital taxes being adopted or considered by a number of america's trading partners uk, eu, brazil and india
4:41 am
the government was prepared to, quote, take proper actions sylvia, you are covering the recovery fund for us and flagged the potential issue as a way to pay down this debt in the future what more can you tell us about this story >> indeed, this is a question of time because of two reasons. there is an ongoing investigation regarding new digital tax. the institution is meant to come up with something no later than the end of 2020. suggesting at the start of the
4:42 am
year this this digital tax should be voluntary for u.s. companies given that these are the largest tech firms worldwide. it was a question of time to see the divisions over digital tax that many countries are desperate for fresh revenue. as we heard from the european commission, they intend to come up with additional revenues one was the need to come up with the content across the eu. one was the economic shock from
4:43 am
the pandemic i asked earlier this morning if he thinks that the proposal would end up in a trade war with the united states >> it is something that has to be finalized at the european level if we could not find refuge in row teksism. i do not think that this is data as well. >> there is still no agreement over this recovery plan. no agreement over the eu countries whether they should indeed pursue the digital tax for money to deal with the economic crisis that is what we need to monitor at this stage
