trump star of tirade is exposing rifts in the republican party but can the president really just push for tariffs in the face of such opposition we'll ask our man on wall street also coming up the geneva motor show kicks off it supposed to be a celebration of all that's new but is it rather explodes in the sluggishness of an industry resistant to change and the dark side of doing business in hungary corruption charges mount against prime minister viktor orban and his family we dig deeper. i'm daniel winter and this is your business update it's crunch time for donald trump as members of his own party call for clarity on new steel and alum minium tariffs he says the e.u. has made business almost impossible for us some have dismissed his comments as bluster and a bargaining tactic but they use already announced a hit list of counter tariffs which targets key republican districts plenty of reason then for politicians to take the president's threats not just seriously but

personally. so the top republican in congress urged the trumpet ministration to take a more targeted approach to protective tariffs paul ryan's suggestion comes as a number of republicans break ranks with the president's plan to slap sweeping import taxes on steel and aluminum there is clearly abuse occurring clearly there is overcapacity dumping in train shipping of steel and aluminum by some countries particularly china but i think the smarter way to go is to make it more surgical and more targeted. ryan called president donald trump's plan to terrorists too broad and prone to retaliation instead he proposed going after what he calls the true abusers without setting off a global trade war some republican lawmakers fear a tit for tat could hurt their chances in midterm elections this november many of them represent constituencies that might suffer job losses from retaliatory tariffs against u.s. products. and hence called as

a wall street forrest yes is there anything that this opposition could amount to i mean could politicians force trump to give up his tariff plan and i think it's important to look at the legal side can the u.s. president by himself impose tariffs and answer is yes you can he has the authority and what's called congress to and well they could challenge this decision but that would take time and so the jots answer there's a donald trump could impose those tariffs and if he would get challenged by congress that would take quite some time and if we listen to the president here on tuesday at least at this point it does not really seem that he is listening to what paul ryan and other politicians are saying in washington at this point and the senate has started voting on repealing banking reforms that were introduced after the financial crisis so what measures are they looking at introducing exactly. yeah

there was a important to vote here on tuesday and that pasta rather easily so far bangs was over fifty billion dollars were considered to be too big to fail and tend to follow rules calling lee now this limit pretty likely it will be increased to two hundred fifty billion dollars meaning that a lot of small and midsize bangs regional banks for instance will have a much easier time to use their capital and let it work of their might be some opposition to it but overall and maybe the regulation that we had after the financial crisis was a bit too strict so that's probably going to change pretty soon just in the grip that on wall street. thank you very much. this is geneva motor show gets underway with the industry shaping up for one of the biggest

transitions in its history the pivot from petrol to electric power but it's a revolution in slow motion some observers say the industry is still proving resistant to inevitable change. this is what britain's jack you are is offering up in the race to electro mobility the high pace is a battery operated s.u.v. which the company hopes could push in the same category as u.s. electric drive pioneer tesla. but not every car maker in geneva is ready to go fully electric the new a six rolled out by german car maker al de features the mile high paid power system its main focus though is on attracting buyers who can afford to pay for luxury. expensive glossy cars with a nod to increasing environmental awareness and frank elation but when it comes to real innovation this year's to even motor show has left some experts disappointed

rob you could you see all the i so-called you know is all we are so it's your reason for that ever before some electric cars but no really new concepts around mobility services that what we are missing again at the geneva motor show there was one notable exception though dutch company paudie unveiled the world's first ever commercially available flying car and with the first deliveries expected later this year the contraption certainly appears ready for takeoff. back on the grounds toyota has profited from the recent days will gate scandal last year the company's sales in europe rose dramatically almost doubling sales of hybrid cars in the e.u. now toyota is going all in by scrapping production of diesels but just as european car companies are making a show of switching to electric as a cleaner us also energy japanese manufacturers of turning to hydrogen. symbolically unified by
