3:17 pm
vehicles. and been physical and let's do business both sides are blaming each other for escalating this spat into a trade war us president donald trump is expected to go ahead with planned tariffs on steel and alum in human boards from the e.u. will go into reports out of the u.s. the news comes as last minute ditched talks last ditch talks rather between european trade officials and u.s. secretary of commerce will ross on the sidelines of an obesity meeting in paris failed to yield the deal the europeans left wednesday's meetings pessimistic about winning a third and final exemption from the tariffs announced back in march the terraces slated to go into effect on friday. but we've got this on the line from brussels conrad boozing at the frankfurt stock exchange on ravel get you a second gail let's start with you. these are nervous times for brussels i bet you are without doubt i mean the heart of of europe is holding its breath there's been
3:18 pm
a lot of diplomatic efforts for weeks and months now that have gone into this into an extension but into a long term extension there have been incentive talks of diplomats behind the scenes a direct diplomats of the. of the commissioner responsible to see monstro in with her counterpart ross but it looks like they have all left to nothing and so it will be really interesting to see if the e.u. will go down the line as they have indicated and reach for that list of retaliation products that a terrorist will receive don't you say all lead to nothing but surely this is trump strategy to try to draw out this is far as possible to get his opponents basically desperate for whatever he wants. really hard to say what his actual agenda is some here in brussels say with travel to the us
3:19 pm
and canada came back. nobody in in the us actually knows on unless from the drum himself what the real agenda is some even suspect that the actual target of all of this is the w t o is the whole architecture of international trade that is on the table here when it comes to the to the terrorists themselves there was some hope that maybe a trade off can be reached that some concessions could be made on the european side that would then allow for for avoiding these tariffs and then there is still i would say now some hope that maybe soft tariffs rather than hearts tariffs can be agreed to so that there would be a limits and so a soft quote or basically if you would go above that quota that only then the punitive tariffs would come into action but we'll have to see what actually will happen that conrad whether or not they saw thought what are the tariff going to mean for european still making. well an increase of twenty five percent
3:20 pm
that's what people in steel factories here in europe are getting prepared for which would mean a twenty five percent increase of prices of european products on the american steel markets and this would mean that a large chunk of those products would become uncompetitive but that's not all you know the overwhelming part of the world wide over capacities in steel are not made in europe they're made in china so it's expected now that a lot of the steel that the chinese will not be able to sell in america in the future anymore will be offered on our open european market it will be a good lot of chinese steel that's what many of the steel makers here are afraid of it will be an enormous problem for them because of fears the u.s.
3:21 pm
tariffs can see chinese steel flood you're about the safeguards in place. no we have an open market you know europe is playing according to the rules of the w two zero zero safeguards is what some of the lobby groups of the steel sector here in germany also in the united kingdom are demanding but you know i talked about this word with people here at the exchange in frankfurt and they asked me back what does this mean safeguards tariffs on chinese steel does europe want to play the protectionist game as well call rebels in force in frankfurt and georg muthas in brussels thanks for bringing us the latest. brazil's petrel protests have crippled latin america's largest economy for over a week truckers blocking major highways causing fuel shortages halting production of factories and hammering exports now oil workers are joining the strike paralyzing rigs and refineries. the new strike comes as the trucking protest
3:22 pm
was finally showing signs of abating the government has lowered fuel costs and offered other concessions. the latest discord threatens to fan the flames further jeopardizing the government of michel teamer. oil workers are demanding not just lower fuel costs but the ouster of the top man of the state owned oil company petrobras page upper n.t. reforms carried out by the energy giant have raised domestic prices and stirred anger petrobras had subsidized local fuel cost for years loading it with debt. that's why we organized this movement to let society know that the price of fuel can be reduced if the government would focus on social welfare. brazil's top labor court has ruled the new strikes are illegal but that hasn't dissuaded workers petrobras said emergency teams are filling refinery shifts and this could just be the beginning of the union is planning

a bigger strike on june twelfth. hamburg is heaping pressure on the german government to force comic is to retrofit dirty diesels otherwise city officials say a driving ban on old disease will be a cols will stay in place the port city is the first hit to make the controversial move in the wake of the emissions cheating scandal but not everyone's convinced of its merits in reducing air pollution. starting today it's the law. there is one of hamburg's busiest roads and from now on only diesels meeting the strict euro six exhaust emissions standards are allowed here. but so far little has changed even older diesel trucks are still out and about it's not an easy band to implement with no windscreen badges police can't raise elisi if a vehicle meets the required standards or not. meanwhile at a press conference in hamburg environmentalist's local shop owners and residents
3:24 pm
and their anger. but for some the band doesn't go far enough for others it's half baked you out of something they're just doing things for the sake of doing something they're not thinking coherently it's a rush job i went there had a listen but it was all just stock answers made me feel sick often but now. we're told the band is about protecting people but all it means in fact is that other people will suffer more pollution i think that's terrible especially as i also live along one of the diversion rates. the second band is here on the six hundred meter long max brower i lay home to two hundred seventy two people the aim is to drastically reduce the area's high nitric oxide levels yet thousands of people living along the bypass routes could be worse off as a result. how bugs in barmouth minister however rejects such claims.
3:25 pm
if. it's a false assumption made without attention to the facts these measures will reduce the pollution on affected streets and we've done careful calculations to ensure that the limits won't be exceeded on all the roads as a result. as yet there are no penalties in place initially police will just inform drivers of the new rules and after a transition period. will be fined twenty five euros and truck drivers three times as much. the job of the day we sent to one of those restrictive roadways in hamburg where i'm hoping the air pollution levels are a little lower today tell me what chances does have burke convincing lynn through its little bag of forcing ca makers into retrofitting vehicles. well it's hard to imagine that would really get anywhere now most of the locals
3:26 pm
that we've talked to here who are angry at the ban are directing their anger at the local government of hamburg as opposed to the federal government so from a public pressure point of view that already doesn't work and many of them are also highlighting the lack of imagination must have taken to only create solutions around the offending cars as opposed to using it as an opportunity to zoom out and rethink solutions in general like incentivizing car sharing for example or improve mass transit now looking so far has also convinced the federal government that it should compel the auto industry to do the retrofit and for the auto industries part it insists that it needs the money in order to be able to invest in new technologies it's hard to imagine that this little band in hamburg would break that cycle and could the little band become a big bet. well first of all this little that has to work i've been here all day and let me tell you i've seen a total of one truck make a u. turn in order to avoid entering the ban zone i'm still seeing trucks i'm still seeing cars which probably have older diesel engines in them it's hard to tell just
3:27 pm
by seeing which tells you a bit how big of an enforcement problem this is so in any case this bad still has to grow a little bit in credibility and if it is seen before it can become a big band. has a lot more to prove i can see quite a lot of people on their bikes so that's nice to say don't stay out on that street to long breathing in. a nice doing business with you i'll see you again very soon your own thing don't be.
