example we'll be talking about that after this report. pomp and ceremony at the white house french president emmanuel macro is on the first state visit by a foreign leader under the presidency of donald trump. mr president mess out proclaimed friendship was on full display time. and time again. but we do have a very special relationship in fact i get that he's given. them a little peace we have to make them perfect he is perfect situations and that's with many friendships opinions on several key issues differed most notably on iran hundred deal signed in twenty fifteen tehran agreed to limit its nuclear program which he maintains was for peaceful civilian purposes in return for an easing of economic sanctions. it's a bad deal it's

looks like that i think it's also a story of it's a question of face saving measures trump won't be able to back down without any kind of damage to his political capital at home of the congress elections are coming out so he has to maintain his stature as a strong leader but what i think mccall is suggesting is that there can be a compromise that is a face saving measure which keeps the. current deal in place perhaps remain it in order for it to look different and then at other measures to it so that trump at home can say well he did what he promised to. that was first foreman of bard college here in berlin let's get some of the other stories making the news at this hour germany has announced it will donate an additional one billion euros in aid to syria and to neighboring countries that are hosting syrian refugees germany is so far the biggest donors contributed four and a half billion euros in aid for syria since twenty twelve

on those fast moving developments in europe on emily thanks very much. this is the t.v. news live from berlin still to come on the show a journalist murdered for speaking the truth look at the case of the maltese journalist daphne o'donoghue the lease as reporters without borders publishes its latest index on press freedom. or christoph is here now and chinese car buyers are really looking forward to what they hopes going to be a bright future that is right brian and they can get a look and feel of what the car producers have in store for the biggest car market in the world which is china at the beijing motor show was just kicked off in the chinese capital it comes at a time of the skyrocketing growth of new car sales appears to be slowing for the first time now still chinese consumers drove more than twenty nine million cars off lots around the people's republic last year chinese drivers love their as u.v.'s

which made up around forty percent of sales but electric cars are also booming they jump by more than fifty percent to his seventy seven hundred and eighty thousand units last year that may be a fraction of the total new car sales but it still makes china the world leader in eve eagle business this beijing's plant quota for electric cars sales are likely to increase further now german manufacturers want a piece of the pie although having been slow in the e-card evolvement the new had a fox bag and has even made the china business a freestanding unit within the company. how they do use is exactly where he wants to be leading vokes wagon and just like his predecessor his sights are set on china this is where big bucks are made with brand new s.u.v.s or with the new levee to limousine have a decent tends to pick up the pace according to his vision the company will develop

and build new models faster and cheaper. why do good just because we're doing well now doesn't mean it will be the case in the coming years of course it's good when the brand is strong and you have the technology but product decisions like anticipating trends that's our main job and that is always exciting and full of risks. and equally starting in twenty nineteen almost every brand will be introducing new e-cards to the market drivers in china are already using an electric vehicle produced by the soul brand soul is built and developed by a v.w. joint venture in central china the industry is in agreement that china is leading the way in immobility china's policy is very much committed to electric vehicles. all the government rules and regulations are towards strengthening

electric cars electric car production beyond electro mobility their central government wants to be a trailblazer in autonomous striving to that's why folks wagon has just opened its new future center in beijing their vision is a car that's a lot like a smartphone on wheels with our future center we combine vehicle design use expenses and but also future mobility concepts to really understand chinese customers customers here in asia and we actually see differences in the oven mobility developing here. the daily traffic in beijing shows just how important new traffic concepts are for most of the day millions of cars here are stuck in traffic jams. for more let's bring in macon to get out see he is the head of the china policy program at nottingham university and he joins me from name bold china this morning welcome to. after years of explosive growth car sales in china and slumping

recently put that into perspective. wait a natural slow down we had these huge girls in the last few years served. due to two things one there was a higher tax on the purchase of vehicles are and there are more importantly china is now undergoing a trend see shown from. older vehicles into new energy vehicles and so for the next few months or we would expect a slowdown the wired both of the supplied the government policy in the consumers will adopted to do new train that and then we will see an acceleration after two thousand and twenty which will be mostly driven by electric vehicles so it's a little similar to what china's been doing in other sectors like the manufacturing made it's law and order pushing for high value manufacturing the products are and the same they're doing with the car industry slowing down on the traditional vehicles wait a few months or develop with the system and then push it faster for the new

electric field we will expect numbers there was surprise us all right beijing just announced last week that it would liberalize foreign ownership limits in the automotive sector how does that impact the likes of fox wagon or general motors which have been pretty well off. and this is always a a doubleheader just sort of because a lot handed chinese governmental tends to. join dangerous on a ship or when they need to continue to hold a fifty one percent on a c i think it's been decades now now i'll. bring in download these restriction is not going to happen now is going to happen in the next four or five years and i fear that by then it will be too late because we're by dana we expect that almost a thirty million electric vehicles on the road or in china and so it's either will

be by far be the biggest markets or let's not forget there is a. another important thing that all car manufacturers in china use it or produce electric vehicles need to purchase electric battery from chinese manufacturer c a t l a so the likes of a struggle which now enjoys a great market has been doing so for the past few years and they need to be careful on how to play these new electric market and then at the same time try to secure these a doctor with the car cannot move and that's a program that pays less is having a hard balance a new possibility to all one hundred percent of money factoring of cars but not being able to all know one hundred percent of the box three and we know cars are made by both the you know the body and the battery very different concept from before the killer briefly if you can the chinese government is obviously pushing you have really this issue of you mobility yet at the same time if people have the choice to still go for big gas guzzlers why is that.

when we have changing you know the day we have more whales the more affluent to people are now becoming more green conscious and we do see even the powers of being completely l.a. tree this is of course of pollution for you know by the government i give you an example since a new one of the cities in the south of china one hundred percent of all the. buses are electric more than half of taxes are electric and out of course of decided by the government about these it's below the effect on the population that in a way to emulate to feel part of the china green initiative but they will be enticed to purchase also green vehicles so i don't see that anymore we have probably debate all cars we can to get out you had of the china policy program at nottingham university rafa leave it there thank you so much for us.

all here in germany a disturbing development the leader of germany's jewish committee is warning jews jews community rather is warning jews to avoid wearing the kept up or yarmulke that's the traditional style cap and major german cities now that's in order to reduce the risk attack last week two young men wearing the camp in berlin were assaulted the attacker a syrian migrant shouting anti semitic remarks later today the solidarity march berlin where skipper will be getting underway will bring you special coverage of that event for more let's bring in political correspondent under color joining us from our parliamentary studios on the leader of the central council of jews in germany yosef surest or spoke to german media last night about this can you fill us in on what he said. yes brian as he said as of truth has warned individual snots to wear the keeper openly at least not if they are walking around alone in

a large city or in a in a small group only he said in principle it would be the right thing to wear the kit power or any other religious symbol openly stubbornly and defiantly but at this moment it would be more sensible not to do so but to wear a base instead in the past the jewish community had warned quite frequently not to wear. a keep. the said this would be the whole thing would be a threat to democracy if society wouldn't be able to stand up against anti-semitism but he also added that he had a feeling that we are at a turning point and people understood that we have to stand up ok talking about standing up later today solidarity marches taking place to show support for the german community and for the freedom of jews here in germany to publicly wear an

important religious symbol but as we heard there you know jewish leaders are very concerned about safety. of course they are concerned about safety after off incidents in recent months. in germany every jewish building every jewish kindergarten every institution is protected and watched by the police twenty far as seven but still there are always concerns about security if there is a module like this today security personnel is on high alert so this should be alright but concerns remain still within the jewish community it's quite ambivalent because the president of the european association has warned against giving in to this anti semitism it would be the wrong signal not to have a kipper ok we will have more coming up special coverage of that event here in
