could a breakthrough be around the corner after president all chant extended a tariff exemption on european metals washington says talks with brussels could reduce trade tensions. as the old saying goes plenty more fish in the sea except when there's not the e.u. says it's time for a strict new quarter so. i'm helena humphrey in berlin good to have you with us and germany is losing patience with washington's trade brinkmanship the german economy minister saying raising tariffs is the wrong way of going about things that would hurt jobs in germany europe and the u.s. says delaying the decision as trump did just hours before the midnight deadline is also a big problem especially as businesses have no way of planning for the future. that's die of relief for the european steel industry at least for now the next four weeks the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. with that additional tariffs. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to

impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on r.u. many m two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a temporary waiver that exemption ended on may first washington accuses the e.u. of unfair trade practices trump says if no deal is reached within the next four weeks tariffs will be back on the table analysts say now is the time for the european union to take decisive action the. e.u. should do three things first it has to admit that there's a problem i think it's important to be honest second it needs to send a clear signal that it's not going to run away from a trade conflict in other words the americans a statement the third thing is to offer a concrete proposal at light but be a smart one the german government said simply that it had duly noted the extension that it expects a permanent exemption from the tariffs. on the money but i would have preferred to

have received a definite permanent way for with immediate effect this didn't happen so now we should use every opportunity to reach a reasonable agreement. but getting both sides to agree on what's reasonable won't be an easy task. or let's get the view from washington our correspondent cost and then is standing by casting a lot of surprise that this delay is opposed to real so i really thirty days from now what we're trying to consider when. well i guess for the on a trump a condition a surrender by the europeans would be the preferred outcome the president has been ranting for some time now that the european union is unfair towards the united states and he might have very few firm convictions but the idea that others are

taking advantage of the united states and that previous u.s. leaders have been too weak to do something about it that is a conviction that he has has for many years that but the people around him of course ready to compromise to some extent the commerce secretary said today that some fruitful discussions were going on where the europeans of bollards are reducing overall tensions in the trades relations but i think even with the ross and other people in the u.s. administration wants major concessions from the europeans they believe that they are in the stronger position and the europeans have multitudes which means meanwhile of course a month of hand-wringing for the european union as well as canada and mexico once again we still makola mcelhenney the to washington that charm offensive didn't happen side effect can we expect them to now make an. well the official position of the european union has always been that they won't

make any concessions. under the threat of punitive tariffs but of course it's possible that behind closed doors deal might be reached which would include that there would be some concessions from the europeans but officially those would only be agreed then the u.s. says ok the exceptions for the europeans would be indefinite and then a few weeks after that there would be the official announcement of the agreement but i'm just speculating here but that of course is always a possibility and all the while of course china still feeling the sting of those tariffs commerce secretary wilbur ross heading day this week for trade discussions is it too optimistic to think he might come back with some kind of resolution well remember awesome said today that he wouldn't go there wasn't hopeful that

something might come out of it again the americans believe the u.s. administration at least believe that they are in the stronger position because they have a trade deficit with china china wants to sell its goods and so they can dictate the terms but that might be a bit overoptimistic china or the chinese government has a different perspective has a more long term perspective in its power struggle over the u.s. a correspondent constant fun nominee in washington good to talk to thanks constant . well apple's quarterly numbers are out and it did better than expected profit jumping twenty five percent to ring in at over thirteen billion dollars ahead of those results there was concern that lead lap that's right i phones was waning that sales of d.t. million of them show some resilience in those robust results of paying off money for investors apple says it is adding an extra one hundred billion dollars to its payouts share has also jumping in off to our was trading. well he's

a financial correspondent in new york. there's been a lot of talk before the reported their quarterly results are because some suppliers actually came out with warnings and that was seen as a sign that maybe i phone shipments quote a disappoint but that was not the case in the past quarter ship to go to fifty two million devices that was pretty much in line maybe one little downside to that the average selling price was lower than in the quarter before but overall a very strong numbers profit increased by about thirty percent revenue up by sixteen percent both better than expected and then apple it's not just about phones so if you look at software and services that division alone made a good nine billion dollars that is thirteen times the of twitter and wall street seem to be happy with the numbers at least the initial reaction and after our

trading was up by a good four percent. now faced with intense pressure of how it handles uses data facebook's coming up with ways to keep people logging on now it says it will allow users to delete them browsing history and it's come up with online dating features as well c.e.o. mark zuckerberg made the announcement of the company's annual developers conference . of rockstar is welcome for a c.e.o. whose last major public appearance involved testifying before congress. it's only six weeks into the march the political consulting firm cambridge on unless you can access the data of up to eighty seven million facebook users without their consent and what happened with cambridge on america was a major breach of trust that developer took data that people shared with them and solar. so we need to make sure this never happens again one way the coburg is

hoping to win back trust is by introducing a feature that will allow individuals to clear their pricing history but if it sounds like facebook buy to get less involved in its users lives think again we're known for the company's planning to introduce a dating service for its two hundred million single users. says it's intended for long term relationships not just hook ups tough to roll for a company whose survival depends on people's continued willingness to share their data commitment is key relationships are not now if we want to eat fresh fish straight out of the sea in the future something's going to have to change experts say three quarters of fish stocks in a watch is a big overfished in that spot strict you quotas which are great for a fish sufficient. it's nearly six in the morning and the sun is rising over the western baltic sea fishermen on this look and his colleagues have been on the water for three hours they barely notice the sky instead they're busy heaving nets full of herring up on board it's back breaking work because main fishing ground is the

bay of grapes followed the herring returned here in the spring to spawn. period we're going to leave this catch here and now because the herring have finished spawning we can see from the dirty uncured that their work here is done the area is full of roll and melt. so look ahead to ten minutes further east to cast his nets out the european union has lowered this year's catch quota by thirty nine percent that means that fishermen will earn over a third less income from their core business. today look at his caught around two tonnes of herring that's around nine hundred euros in revenue he's almost reached his seventy ton limit so he can only fish for herring one more time this year. for most of my knowledge the cold have to return to the old colt one hundred seventy tons to be able to earn a half decent income we're pushing everything to the limit or paint the bolt and

clean it and the water only what's absolutely essential we have to save where we can to try and balance the books. but there's little chance of raising catch limits for herring right now in fact the tuna an institute for baltic fishing is considering further curtailments instead temperatures are rising in the baltic making life tough for the fish. until the mid one nine hundred ninety s. reproduction rates were very good but since then there's been a continual decline the only factor involved is water temperature which is affecting various areas. but unless limits increase lipka and his fellow fisherman will have to hang up their nets soon they'll be no point catching herring they'll shut up shop like a thousand others in the region before them. today with

the wild although business right now. i'll be back tomorrow same time same place you can't. move. move. move. move move move move.
