four hours. like in an equal society. divide starting november fifteenth on d w. this is date every new year's live from the island president trump arrives at the asia pacific forum in vietnam in feisty mood in a scolding speech the american president told the region's business elites that the united states would not tolerate the sort of unfair trade practices he's previously accused china of also on the program france's president makes

a surprise trip to saudi arabia for talks with the newly powerful crown prince this is the kingdom's tensions with iran fueled a crisis in lebanon. grants a special status to a prominent neo nazi will tell you why that time flew checkbox on this account could spell trouble for the social media. i'm phil gay a welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump is in vietnam where he's been stressing his america first message when it comes to trade at the apec summit of asia pacific beat us he said that he's open to bilateral free trade talks with all of them but he said the united states would not tolerate what he called chronic trade abuses with the region pushing ahead with a free trade deal with that the u.s. mr trump's policy could make him the odd man out. during the apec forum and.

u.s. president donald trump stressed america's economic success and his leadership. a new optimism has swept all across our country. economic growth has reached three point two per cent and going higher unemployment. is at its lowest level in seventeen years. but directly after that trump expressed his displeasure with the supposedly unfair business practices and games the us they ignored the rules to gain advantage over those who followed the rules causing enormous to store shims in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade itself china's president xi jinping couldn't let that line

unchallenged trumps comments albeit indirectly by expressing his support for free trade. over the last few decades economic globalization has contributed significantly to global growth indeed it's become an irreversible historical trend. at the beginning of the year trumps administration decided not to take part in the planned transpacific partnership. but according to the countries that remain d.p.p. is on the way regardless of the u.s. decision. i believe that that's the best way for us to generate wealth. and we can win for everybody concerned. now that america has taken the position to withdraw we respect that decision but eleven countries that by japan

were trying to come up with new version. just how much the t p p negotiations will progress is still unclear japan says there's a deal in place canada denies it the apec summit in vietnam would certainly provide a worthy framework for its let's go through this and with a dummy business i've got monica jones and a close castles from the j.f.k. institute on the north american studies welcome both backless president trampas talked about the north korean crisis saying that the region's future must not be held hostage to a dictator's twisted fantasy is a violent quest is a fiery words how much support candy counts on that from a pack from a pack. well i think. if a is comprised of states like russia and canada stakeholders that might not have the political leverage to push north korea towards doing anything the only player in town regarding the north korea issue is china yesterday the president left china

with a mess of billion dollar. pre-contract a volume of i think two hundred fifty billion dollars but no concessions regarding north korea we still don't know what about energy crossed the border north korea benefits from that so i don't see more pressure on north korea yesterday or today than there was a week ago i did just mention to that two hundred fifty billion dollar business deal i mean donald trump is a businessman and what is very interesting that hearing him speaking in vietnam we heard to a a very aggressive u.s. president if you like and that versus a chinese president that this seemingly embraces an open market how much of all these different rhetoric tree rings true to you. well it was surprising

specially configured considering that made china and these unfair trade practices one of the cornerstones of his campaign but don't trump his presidency the white house needs a win because he is under pressure at home due to the new investigation the f.b.i. looking into the russian ties. he came back from china have you only place that could serve him with a material win two hundred fifty billion dollars as least as pre-contract at the same time he needs to serve his base and he's doing that right now rhetorical e toward states that have no influence whatsoever on the mess of trade imbalance that that the u.s. suffers from and this is i think this. dealing with china but staying true to the rhetoric this is responsible this is the fact responsible for these utterly surprising protectionist mood swings that we've been observing these last couple of days eventually trouble with robert mueller and russia that we have been hearing

contradictory reports about the likelihood of a meeting between president and president putin on the sidelines of a pac how important would a meeting like this be. i don't know really don't trump he gets along quite well with authoritarian authoritarian leaders i don't want to say dictators but he has no problem with a strong woman so to speak i don't. think it would make for weird pictures considering his current situation. but nevertheless i mean corporation is one of the cornerstones of travel and he could sell it as just that cooperation between some of the most important leaders in the world and he wasn't very co-operative when it comes to the transpacific partnership which is still sort of struggling to actually be realized i mean those eleven remaining pacific rim nations are

interested in actually going ahead with it having a hard time since the u.s. pulled out what's the problem what's holding them back because they don't t.p. doesn't have a leader right now and china wanted to you know move into the vacuum left by the united states but of course since p.p.p. was intended to balance china in the region no one's really favoring at least a bigger economy is favoring china moving into the vacuum and this is what we're seeing right now whole lot of bilateral ideas how to you know put something against china's message influence in the pacific that the president blatantly gave assent we'll leave it there nicholas castles as a good to talk to nicholas kessel from the j.f.k. institute thank you. mark jones business update later absolutely i should look forward to that without even the let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world afghan officials say one policeman has been killed and two wounded in

a suicide car bombing that targeted a police compound they say a single bomb or course the blast in the southern helmand province no group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but helmand is the heart of the heartland of the taliban. britain's prime minister theresa may has unveiled legislation specifying the date and time that country a will leave the european union and says bracks it will take place at eleven pm local time on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth this is may says the move shows the government's determination to see the bracks it processed through. spain supreme court has released the speaker of castle in his disbanded parliament kamei a forecast for today. says she together with other former catalan officials was jailed on thursday on charges of sedition and rebellion following the catalan independence referendum in october. france's president paid a surprise visit to the saudi capital riyadh on the friday emmanuel

a macro said he wanted to speak with crown prince mohamed bin salma about the saudi led war in yemen and saudi arabia's tensions with iran has previously blamed teheran for a missile attack that shiite rebels in in yemen launched against the saudi airport the conflict between saudi arabia and iran has also spilled over into lebanon accusations over the fate of that country's former prime minister threaten to strain relations to breaking. the saudi state run television and one thing that the country is ordering its citizens out of lebanon neighboring kuwait quickly followed suit. it was a reaction to political turmoil in another nine and comes amid a deepening regional crisis lebanese prime minister saad hariri is currently in saudi arabia from where he announced his shell nation last weekend. members of harry's political party say saudi arabia is holding him hostage and are

demanding his return now that you see the return of our national leader prime minister saad hariri is necessary to recover respect for lebanon's internal and external powers in the framework of full respect for lebanese legitimacy and our constitution. kerry took office last year as the head of a coalition grouping most lebanese parties including iran backed militant group hezbollah. now accusations are flying that riyadh is trying to wreck the unity deal as part of its regional power play with tehran. this instability is worrying not only for the people of lebanon but also for international powers. this from tiger's director of the. oriental studies in balad welcome to the w. what's going on here what's really behind this apparent conflict between

iran and saudi arabia well the various power struggles there's a power struggle in the region there's a power struggle over the. if you like of the islamic world and there's of course the international alignment and the struggle for example for alliance with the u.s. which the saudis felt was breaking away with the iran nuclear deal and so often we see this characterized as. soon as versus is it that simple it's not that simple that obviously plays into the whole thing obviously the lebanon crisis for example or the yemen crisis or both linked to shia groups within those countries but i think it's much more a power struggle a struggle over leadership a struggle over economic resources and. dominance ok so we see this going on in saudi arabia. as a player in what's going on. in yemen and now in lebanon how

dangerous is this likely to be is this likely to sort of escalate beyond a regional conflict oh i think it can escalate very easily for a number of reasons i mean one is it's not just those two come two countries it's also syria there are there's talk about attempts by the saudis to destabilize iran using factions in pakistan notably in baluchistan so there's a lot going on far beyond the more narrow region and i think each of these various areas has of course their very own internal dynamics levanon is quite different from yemen etc so each of these internal dynamics can also spiral into beyond control of either of the big players and then the latest news from the prime minister has resigned and made this this statement from saudi arabia there is talk of the probably structure being held hostage well it wouldn't be the first time the yemeni president has also denied return to yemen at the moment so this is one of

the various tactics and apparently there's talk of the saudis trying to get a brother of the current prime minister to potentially take over in lebanon so this is not entirely implausible and it's made more complicated because the hariri is also very active as saudi business as businessmen in saudi arabia and therefore the saudis also have leverage over the in economic terms of of them so this is this is a complicated situation that the closer you look at it the more complicated it gets because again taking the simplistic view saudi arabia has has been fighting on the side of the yemeni government so why would they take. that allies leader hostage well that's a very puzzling question it seems that this might be a concession to the. to the emirates interest because apparently the emirates have

now denounced the and more backing. and independence movement in the southern part of yemen but that's to some extent speculation so is this a new phenomenon or is this are we just now seeing what has been simmering away for for decades bursting out into public view well a lot of this has been simmering but. in a sense at the moment it's exacerbated because the u.s. seem to be to some extent changing their positions to some extent don't seem to take a very decisive stance anywhere in the region and therefore new powers including the regional powers are setting themselves in a much stronger way ok of affright i think we i think we have scratched the surface over an extremely large and complicated situation i thank you for guiding us through it thank you thank you a french leader emmanuel macro has returned to europe from saudi arabia to meet german president front line today the two countries open the first joint museum

commemorating world war one later they will travel to a mountain in the alsace region on the border between germany and france the heartland of a saw months of fighting early in the war and the deaths of thirty thousand people the new museum is being hailed as a sign of reconciliation between the former enemies. this is d.w. news live from brother and still to come too it's a crime so i come to the states to well the white supremacist the backlash has the social media giant reeling. and there are the four time world cup winners but we'll tell you why italy are in danger of missing out on a place at next year's tournament in russia. china has announced a sweeping changes that will impact a foreign investment more on the jones. thank you so much well for years the e.u. and the united states have criticized china for its restrictions on foreign investors in the finance sector now china is gradually opening up the industry

that's according to the country's finance ministry foreign entities will now be allowed to own the majority in banks asset management and securities they can now own up to fifty one percent instead of the previous cap of forty nine percent and in three years all the restrictions on foreign entities will be lifted the chinese government says this is the right time to liberalize the financial sector. now and that is certainly something that to my colleague at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel corp was listening to very closely daniel weiss now such a good time to liberalize the chinese market. well i feel monica that this again has to do a lot with donald trump and his latest politics because of course china has had this impact for image for a long time to do very difficult to be very difficult when it comes to foreign investors and i do feel that they are just that they just waited for the moment you

know at this time you know when they are saying well basically forget all the comments that we have made in the past investors do have the feeling at the moment it is rather difficult to do business with the united states because of all this protectionism forget everything what we have done in the past now it's time to do business with china and i think that's why we are seeing those changes in those comments ok so if now is the time to do business with china was so far what were the biggest hurdles for foreign investors in china while there were many challenges that are investors were facing when doing business with china this already started doing a simple wire transfer from europe to china can be very challenging this continues also just look taining a visa for people that want to work in china this was a process that could that could take months sometimes even years and of course also

the language i mean i was just in beijing a few months ago and really just you know speaking english and german and no chinese that sometimes even hard to go with a taxi from one point to the other this is always you know that investors have also criticized also finding really well trained personnel in the future was always a change it was always a challenge so in really in order to make china more attractive for investors they still have a lot of homework to do. in frankfurt there for us thank you so much. the dead are knights of science fiction blockbuster star wars have been granted a new mission after saving civilizations from imminent destruction and space they're now tasked with boosting disney's profits star wars is the most lucrative movie franchise of all time and disney is planning a brand new trilogy of the saga the entertainment giant hopes that more into galactic battles will come nurse about its own moderate quarterly earnings profits

were lower than expected in its t.v. cable and film divisions disney blames competition from streaming service netflix it's now planning its own streaming service now exactly when the new star wars trilogy will begin is not clear. now how do twitter and national socialist fit together i think there's a story that phil can tell us about not occur thank you have a very serious that they do but they don't sort of twitter of course is no stranger to controversy but this latest incident could spell trouble for the social media giant it began when the company gave one of its blue checkmark to win the tourist neo nazi earlier this week on tuesday they verified the account of jason castro the man behind this summer's deadly white wind rally in charlottesville blue checkmark is usually reserved for prominent people and it's only meant to signify that the

account is genuine it's often seen as an all or reaction has been swift and relentless civil rights activist a cement jeet sink i twitter hope you realize there's no such thing as being neutral when it comes to nazis and refined jason castro is a political act and one that puts you on the wrong side of history twitter quickly backpedaled announcing that it would not verify any further accounts until completing a review of its verification policy for the headaches have continued just a day later they rolled out a new feature allowing account things to be up to fifty characters. which is also backfired spectacularly with jason castro's account still very fight uses took advantage of this new feature to launch another offensive is one woman writing would you trade in your fifty characters display name for some panning of nazi or other hate groups and then check this out as you change her account name to make a clear statement hash tag would prefer that you bad nazis several have also been

in the us have also since followed adding up to a terrible horrible no good very bad week for twitter now or week a d.w.i. has been reporting from the united nations climate change summit in the german city of bam the big topic on the agenda is reducing world wide c o two emissions and opinions on how best to achieve this are as you'd imagine split environmentalist say coal is the single greatest threat to our climate and should be phased out as quickly as possible data shows that coal burning produces more carbon dioxide than any other human source but the coal industry says the fuel can be compatible with climate action by using carbon capture and storage technology which captures c o two produced by coal burning and stores it underground so it doesn't enter the atmosphere. and benjamin sports on such executive of the world coal association which backs carbon capture technology welcome to day w. the theory seems fine burn coal capture the carbon keep it away from the atmosphere

but what happens when the current carbon storage systems go wrong. well carbon capture and storage is an incredibly important technology and it's being recognized by groups like the international energy agency the intergovernmental panel on climate change and many others as being an absolutely critical technology for achieving the two degree objective of learning that one and a half to agree objectives sorry we believe it's very important to make sure we continue working on carbon capture and storage that we see it play an important part in the negotiations here in boston and in international actions on climate change is being well approved internationally there are almost twenty lodge scale carbon capture projects operating around the world said i so it is a legitimate and tested technology is one we need to scale up to improve action on climate change and growth and we spoke for just over a minute then asked the question again what happens when this technology goes wrong . that they haven't made any cases all that going wrong actually the way you have

seen in terms of the technology that's being applied sorry that it very effectively captured the cia to stored it underground or used it for enhanced or recovery and in fact is that well the chargers and storage sites for the cia to actually will stall the c o two for if the thousands if not millions of years so it's a technology that an organization like the intergovernmental panel on climate change for example has said is a safe technology and is one that we really do need again this is what they say about things like that nuclear waste storage and nuclear. power facilities what happens when it goes wrong it hasn't gone wrong yet what happens when it does go. well certainly if you were to have a release of security than the c o two is released but all of the evidence from all of the scientists that work on carbon capture and storage say that the technology

is a technology that dollars work that dollars store the c o two. to ground and does it safely site all of the science shows that you can you can operate that very safely in fact we've been storing c o two underground for several decades now as part of the enhanced oil recovery process and we're you know that has not happened in that case and in fact nature holds vosper say are due to be underground as a dollar's like all the gases. you know this is a technology that has been tested has been tried and that scientists say that it is safe and does work but humans bulletin from the world coal association thank you you thank. so i look at some sport now an intense few days of world cup qualifying continues tonight and many will be watching and wondering whether the european powerhouse of the past italy has what it takes to sneak into next summer's big tournament a four time world cup champions haven't missed a tournament finals in almost sixty years but their fallen on hard times recently

and the fighting for a place. they've come to stockholm as friends arena desperate not to lose and maybe that's part of the problem for the italians so used to winning that they've made every world cup final since one thousand nine hundred fifty eight and one for the same number as germany sixty nine year old coach jump year old ventura has struggled to get the most out of a squad thin on top shelf talent ventura replace master tactician antonio conti and if his team does lose to sweden the journeyman coaches brief tenure will likely be over. and the team should be decisive they should be calm and they should be convinced that they can reach this goal that is what they need to feel inside the words i say are not that important if they have that feeling they'll go in and achieve it jump out i got your teacher. in the other dugout sweden's young anderson says the pressure seems really to be on the

a telly and it's on the still clear told me it was friends who played well pretty good football so so he can do it at the morals and then we get the result and i was here when crystal to bring with us them to. friends arena will provide a friendly atmosphere for the swedes they know if the italians are playing for their world cup lives the return match in italy will be in a much more difficult atmosphere. that has reminded top stories this hour president trump said the united states will no longer tolerate chronic trade abuses he said he welcomes fact trade partners and he made his remarks at a summit of regional economic leaders in vietnam before. stop on his side took off a few. updates i'll have both feet up top of the hour in the meantime of course that's always the website. of the time.
