9:20 am
washington to stop the influence cheap chinese steel were useless in the meantime the united states is virtually stop buying chinese steel while steel from europe now represents fourteen percent of imports so if the u.s. makes more moves to curb imports of foreign steel they will definitely be more damaging to european than chinese steel makers european companies like to sing crop and arcelor mittal are likely to be the first to be affected. here in germany carmakers are grappling with public outrage after it emerged that v.w. dime land b.m.w. sponsored studies conducted by the university of auckland into the health effect of diesel fumes now this is a practice many companies engage in carrying out their own research but revelations that monkeys and humans were the test subjects cause the standalone but there came to light earlier last week. the study aimed to assess the impact of diesel fumes on

9:22 am
those defending the research participants themselves. i personally find the whole discussion. we shouldn't get carried away. nothing much happened to this day i haven't experienced any repercussions. i'm not as critical or as upset as the german media is. such statements are likely to be welcomed by the car industry the further damage to their image is done. to prove it's cleaned up its act has already suspended a top executive experiment. still going on right there have just because the underdog of philadelphia eagles scored a thrilling win in sunday's super bowl it is the first time the team is clinch american football's biggest prize the eagles overcame all the odds to beat the
