united states the two sides recently decided to hold off on punitive tariffs on each other's goods while negotiations on a deal to narrow china's trade surplus with the u.s. continue it looked as if a trade war had been averted but now president trump says he's not happy with the deal so far. on wall street for us yes it seems like a done deal now trump isn't happy what happens now. it will take time and that's what old saw you as president donald trump said that it will take a little while before there might be a solution to the trade talks but actually i'm not really that surprised because if you just think back a couple of days the u.s. government was talking about they want to reduce the trade deficit with china by two hundred billion dollars so that's not an easy task to achieve and one of the things that are still on the table is that if you as

a foreign company if you want to do business with china you mostly have to make chile join a joint venture with the chinese firms so this is one of the topics that the u.s. side and also alternations do not necessarily like so it's not that easy especially also the head of the treasury stephen muchin said over the weekend and we did see the reaction here on wall street after those comments from donald trump that he's not satisfied stocks dropped by almost two hundred points that use this session prompted by those talks china is lowering tariffs on new car imports is this the monumental move carmakers have been hoping for it is a little step and actually it might serve german carmakers more than u.s. carmakers if i have the numbers to write i believe b.m.w. they exported cars in the one hundred seventy eight thousand cars to china last year general motors for eggs for instance they hardly export anything with the
7:05 am
cars that they sell in china they produce them in china so they are not part of those tariffs and anyhow and also the number of cars that forte is exporting to china is not that much so the big beneficial risk could become in these like b.m.w. or. so that is funny so that this kind of approach from china might help the competition to u.s. carmakers more than the u.s. carmakers themselves ok not outcome there but an interesting one for sure young's quarter on wall street thank you very much for that. could a novice speed the next prime minister of italy whipping the italian economy into shape is a big ask what political party the five star movement has nominated little known more professor just said picante despite his lack of political experience and he'd have his hands full italy is deep in the red with national debt with over two trillion euros that's a quarter of eurozone debt. markets already making its lead pay more

to borrow money earlier we asked financial correspondent john l. do alone just how much of a nightmare the new coalition is for economists well i suppose really it's a continuation of the ongoing nightmare that's been the italian economy we have a situation where they want to drive the public spending as you said and bankroll bankroll new policies that that would require more debt to finance and we know that that's against the eurozone rules they want to see a change in these rules and they also have this proposal of using short term security is in order based on future tax revenue in order to pay off public suppliers and many are worried that that's really just tantamount to introducing a. a parallel currency to the euro so you can almost feel officials blood pressure shooting up from here to brussels so though we're only at the beginning of this particular chapter heading off this economic nightmare will depend

doping since growth rates have been powered mostly by stimulus measures and cheap credit from abroad and missed out on instead of investing this money in productive sectors in agriculture which is important here in turkey he invested this money in infrastructure projects roads bridges skyscrapers here in istanbul and other capitals and major cities and he is especially fond of a multi-billion dollar project mega projects like stumbles gigantic third airport or a new project called canal istanbul which once it's finished is going to be something like turkey suez canal of course such projects attract a lot of attention but they don't help increase productivity so experts say this growth is not sustainable it's not healthy it doesn't help people to improve their living conditions now to a sweet tooth for profits sugar has fallen into disrepute it's being made
