but he said that the u.s. cannot tolerate what he called chronic trade abuses now trump's policy could make him the odd man out as the region pushes ahead with the free trade deal without the u.s. that could benefit china whose president xi jinping is hoping to take up the u.s. mantle as the global leader of free trade trump said that his country was prepared to re-evaluate its trade relationships let's listen and from this day forward we will compete on a fair and equal basis we are not going to let the united states be taken advantage of anymore i am always going to put america first the same way that i expect all of you in this room to put your country's first. and for more let's bring in my colleague daniel koch who has been following everything from the apec summit so daniel tell us the speech from donald trump what

are we to make of it is this simply more of the same or did we get anything new here. well either sarah when i was just talking to investors here on the trading floor and frank for they were not really surprised about all those comments made by donald trump i guess you can really samaras summarize it like this he doesn't mind when other countries do business but he made it again very clear that america always needs to be first i can tell you that investors here in frankfurt are actually also paying very much attention to the latest comments he made again about north korea after he has been a little bit more call him in the last days saying that maybe also a diplomatic way could be a solution now again those very strong words towards north korea and we have seen this in the past that this in many cases can also lead to falling share prices at stock markets all around the world and daniel u.s. president just one of the leaders that have been speaking at that apec summit i want to listen in because president xi jinping he addressed the summit and his

message was quite different. we are seeing a profound change in economic globalization. over the last few decades economic globalization has contributed significantly to global growth indeed it has become an irreversible historical trend daniel did i just hear him call for more openness i mean has the world gone topsy turvy here is china now presenting itself as more open than the u.s. . yeah very interesting worser he also stated that china will significantly ease market access to all businesses in china will be treated as equal and of course those are very different words china is still considered here also from traders as a market still very difficult to access because of all those regulations that

foreign investors are facing so are you now really going to see a change china or the new country pretty much very open to award business also foreign business and the united states because of all the protectionism you know kind of with the close markets of course those are at the beginning and for the moment just words but i can tell you from the frankfurt trading perspective that investors are monitoring this very closely because everybody here knows how important china is for doing good business daniel cope with the latest from frankfurt thank you. all week we have been reported reporting from the united nations climate summit in bonn the big topic on the agenda is how to cut carbon dioxide emissions the united states has long been one of the world's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases but a city once known for its smoggy skies shows that it's possible to cut pollution pittsburgh pennsylvania is undergoing

a thorough transformation as our correspondent carson for not reports. this is the old image of pittsburgh a city of steel and coal where the chimney stacks never stop bad shit smoke and breast read lights had to be left on twenty four hours a day because the smoke blocked out the sun but today's reality is a different one the city has cleaned up its act and instead of heavy industry banks and high tech companies are now providing jobs for a growing population more than thirteen thousand pittsburghers are employed in the clean energy sector alone and companies such as evah power which operates wind farms in pennsylvania new york and is developing projects in other states too for co-founder and recall of best ski pittsburgh is the perfect place for innovative businesses i think it's the people you know it's great town pool here young people from some of the best universities in the country. also from a cultural standpoint you know there's a lot to offer we have three professional teams we have to l.a.

we have to symphony we have the opera so many things that can draw great talent. pittsburgh's transformation is the result of a concerted effort by the city government to attract startups and other businesses while at the same time keeping an eye on environmental and social issues one of the people working on pittsburgh's turnaround is development analyst sarah yeager. they take a holistic approach as how can we improve pittsburgh why this is creating more jobs more low income housing access to public. answer taishan fossil fuel free vehicles so electrifying our fleet access to more bike lanes i really how can we improve the quality of life for everybody and pittsburgh. another key factor in the city's formula for success is pittsburgh's colleges like carnegie mellon university many who started here at cmu have established themselves in the new economy founding

startups in the vicinity of the campus and turning them into vibrant enterprises professor jean yang a specialist for programming languages is full of praise for the almost symbiotic relationship between scientists and tech companies here for instance do a lingo was started by lease on and he had this actual office for a long time before he left for doing go all together and so a lot of the duelling of people are involved with cmu they come back here to listen to talks to speak. and everything is quite close so the people are companies they'll show up to talks here people here they'll spend some time at the company's jean yang grew up in pittsburgh when it was still a byword for the american rust belt as soon as she finished school she moved away like so many other talents and young people at the time and expected never to return now she's back in her hometown and enjoys not only great working conditions but also

a new quality of life in her old neighborhood these are places where it was pretty sketchy to walk outside there after dark and i was just way inside for my parents to pick me up i wouldn't go outside on my own and when i came back i realize that wow there are all these bars there now there are restaurants the buildings are outside they still look pretty much the same but what's going on inside really it's like night and day so pittsburgh clearly is on the way up again with young people flocking to the city and the prospect of even better times ahead for the next generation. let's get a quick check now of of some. stories making news around the world spain's supreme court has released the speaker of catalonia is disbanded parliament may float go down on bail she together with other former catalan officials was jailed on thursday on charges of sedition and rebellion following the catalan independence referendum back in october more than five hundred asylum seekers remain stranded in
