to. this indeed of the news coming to you live from berlin spain's prime minister is voted out of office promising to make us ousted marianna floyd in a new confidence vote to goodbye a corruption scandal any conservative party center that's socialist spread through sanchez not assume power we'll go live to madrid to find out what that political upheaval means for the country and for europe. also coming up the united states has imposed tower of some exports from its kills its allies and the vow to retaliate

tariffs on aluminum and steel through europe mexico and canada went into effect just a few hours ago all three have said they would impose their own duties on american goods. and it took twenty years now the people in the town in the indian state of palm allowed you are celebrating the closure of the state of life couple plant which they say produce at their water and made them sick. man. hello and welcome i'm the touchy mom madeon or the whore has been ousted as the prime minister of spain after losing a no confidence motion in parliament admitted defeat just ahead of the vote and said it had been an honor to lead the country he will be replaced by so says three to pedro sanchez the opposition socialists called for the voter after members of

the voice party were linked to a corruption scandal. and for the bay latest let's bring it jaime of eloquence is a correspondent in madrid money i don't know why it was prime minister for six years what would his departure mean for the spanish politics well it's definitely. the end of an era for a body under one hundred how to rule during the war for economic crisis in year three in spain and he had to implement many of the measures that for sure are going to be. not going to be implemented now by the socialist by the by the folks at least by to be there of course the economic crisis is not here anymore we are. seeing some recovery and better frantic and of course benefit from give recovery in order to stop these measures the fall terry of three

key measures and implement more social policies and increase the expenditure of of the state there's also been and i'm interested to not be here bob me for interrupting you but that just sanchez is not the funds it designates he only has some eighty four seats out of upon him in just three hundred fifty seats how do you then be able to govern and foster the kind of education you're talking about. it's going to be very difficult for them though these for sure these are going to be very difficult for him he needs under thirty five people the most but i think that there's a lot of common ground and common ground during the of. the end of the hallway the opposition has tried to bring parliamentary initiatives to to parliament policies to parliament that have been blocked by madame ahoy so we have

a by the government of my then on the house so we have a common ground from the very widest spectrum of the opposition that's where my where president is going to really dig in and bring some policies that are shared by. the spectrum in the parliament he also won so he's looking probably to portugal where the socialist government is ur in the minority and the youth and the a government in portugal is is having a great success is one of the examples. in europe at the moment of how can you you know go out of a crack. lately and you want to get all the smaller flatties to join him on this but the speed is amongst the top four economies off the e.u. what impact will this change have on the rest of europe do you think. yeah

i think that this is one of the main the main the main things that presidents on one has to address if you want to send a message to europe. spain is not going to be called. and a stable country that is not going to have a very unstable period with fresh elections and maybe the rifle poppea near them or maybe even the riots. and the european. movements like you like in the telly or all the places all the countries like for example the u.k. by the french it has already said we have the challenge to. implement lessees forty two that i actually had that also realistic so you send india's message of it we're going to do a different kind of well you see if we're going to look for let's see if policy if

we are going to keep our expenditure within the lines of. the european suspended spending lines and we are going to we are not going to bring. instability we are going to we're going to do things in a different way but within the lines that the european union is asking and the commitments that spain has that there will be an union to jaime the next place a correspondent in madrid thank you very much for being us up to date. thanks. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the new populist coalition government to set to be sworn in italy today incoming prime minister just set the country announced his. last night the new coalition is made up of the far right and the populist anti establishment five star movement. north and south korea have resumed senior level peace talks to come as

the u.s. is trying to persuade the north to shut down its controversial nuclear program so says reconciliation between the two koreas will be a key part of efforts to resolve the nuclear standoff with pyongyang. in the u.s. victims of sex abuse by the catholic church have reached a two hundred ten million dollars settlement with an archdiocese in the state of minnesota the money will be split among some four hundred fifty people abused by priests in the area. now to fears of a possible global trade war europe says april retaliate after the united states impose tariffs on steel in alum india on the european union the e.u. says it will take its trade dispute with the u.s. to the world trade organization later on friday and that's according to the e.u.'s foreign policy chief fredricka she said though the dispute would not overshadow other aspects of the transatlantic relationship union not at war with

anyone the european union is a peace project including on trade and we believe in. global free fair trade and we will continue to do so this is why we are multiplying the trade agreements with our partners in the world this is our clear position on global trade having said that clearly the european union has to defend its interests and this is why as announced by the president yesterday the european union will today proceed with a w t o dispute settlement case and impose additional duties on a number of imports from the united states. and the u.s. is applying higher tariffs in steel from the european union canada and mexico after weeks of negotiations to avert them talks between the e.u. and u.s. officials took place right up till the last minute. european leaders responded to

the reality of new tariffs with frustration and even exhaustion still we're angry concerned outraged because we've been in talks with the americans for months now but annoying they don't listen and they think they can belittle us but that's not possible. and the europeans are allies and that's not how alice treat each other. this finished. behind the frustrations are concerns over industry a glut of metal with nowhere to go means falling prices which could in turn threaten european jobs that would have broader consequences to the economies of european member states. the e.u. says it has no choice but to retaliate with proportional penalties on u.s. products like motorcycles jeans and whiskey a threat brushed off by u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross. does retire early and even have some others do is still remain unlikely to be as much as one

percent on our count of. canada and mexico are planning their own retaliatory tariffs on products as diverse as yogurt coffee washing machines and lawn mowers. europe is the u.s. is largest trading partner which means a tit for tat between the two economies could be damaging for both and especially for consumers. that's the threat now being sized up by markets wall street was rattled by the flurry of announcements and indeed down on the day asian markets began down but recovered just the earliest signs of investor uncertainty over the future of global trade. a fifth spot over the prospect of a deal where trade will now down the political correspondent thomas barack or top of the german lawmaker who's closely followed in trade negotiations with the u.s. gets hit by a for his take on the trans atlantic three it's fact. so by i thank you very much for being with us do you see it as a failure that european leaders once again were not able to convince donald trump

of changing his mind i think it's difficult to conclude trump many many discussions negotiations behind closed doors in public have been led so of course it's a pity and i think it's not good for international free trade what happened the announcement of the of the terrorists are now so there's a lot of work to do. do you consider it to be trade war it's being described like that in the media but do you think it's accept a ration well we're not there yet and hopefully we'll never get into a really trade war but the trade conflict has seen a further escalation yesterday and the european union is prepared to have a process at the w t o but conforming in control in conformity with the double to the regulation a list has been deposited there and i think we will see in about thirty days time that these you know duties will be implemented and then we will see starting

a. you know a process a w t o and this is the way that we want to go and hopefully will never get to a trade war but couldn't that be counter productive if for example the us president then decides on tariffs for example for cars which we very problematic for germany look at if something like. car duties in terrorists would be implemented on german another european car so we would be hit we have to protect our economy so we have an interest in us a politician's to make responsible decisions but again i think now is the time as has been before to get back at the negotiation table in a whole that we will see this that people are really acting. in in a calm way matter of fact and that everybody has an interest in not getting to a trade war and everybody has to understand there can be no win in any trade war also the americans have to understand it will cost jobs and it will hit the economy

in the united states as well enough to states mexico to canada has reacted as well they are hit and this is something they have to figure out but we from a european standpoint i think our strength would be now and should be and has to be standing united and give a strong signal to don't. from there little we play not by his rules we play by the w.t. all rules obviously this trade conflict if you describe it like that is only part of a much bigger problematic between the u.s. and europe what is germany's strategy there how do you deal with someone like donald trump who according to many americans is only fulfilling the promises that he has already made. you know coming shortly back to the support off the feet of the traits terrorists i think the vast majority of americans there's a recent poll use for all of yesterday do not support this decision are not in

favor of him implementing the tears and duties this is of this is one thing yes we have a lot of problems across the atlantic the transatlantic relations have been better before this is release us to be to act responsibly and to have a lot of meetings exchanges and talking about everything that is on the table it's not only tariff and trade it's the iran nuclear deal only maybe even much more complicated we have north korean too we have burden sharing two percent g.d.p. a pledge that we made to where we are committed when it comes to nato and defense spending these are all things that we need to talk to with to with our strongest allies which remain in the future the united states of america and we have to accept to see incumbent president this is a fact not everybody likes him but it's not about it's not a matter of emotions or if you're like a person or not it's all repos responsibility to deal with the facts that we have

thank you very much for this interview very well. that was a journey's coordinator for transatlantic relations peter bya talking to these political correspondent thomas farrow and now monica joins me in germany's got industry could also be affected by these type of salonica well the worry is there and it's not unfounded and rita so far we have u.s. tariffs on european steel and on the minium but u.s. president on a trunk could go even further and slap tariffs on german cars and media reports suggest that he may even want to ban german luxury car imports altogether because he says there are too many of them on the roads of america and too little u.s. cars in germany fair enough but are you as motorists interested in switching from b.m.w. to. ford well richard gauge the mood on the streets in the u.s. capital. luxury german cars are a common sight on the streets of washington d.c. and the idea of blocking their import isn't so popular. people want to buy german

cars they should be able to buy german cars if not they want to buy american cars they should buy marc klaas should buy whatever they want i think are good quality cars a little more expensive maybe an american cars but probably. going to be better but maybe maybe a little better because i think i may view of american cars that they fall apart pretty quickly and german cars don't they tend to be nicer than my big american cars i think the engineering tends to be superior again impressions donald trump thinks there are too many of them in the u.s. even though german carmakers also run assembly operations that all together provide tens of thousands of jobs for american workers but the u.s. president still sees the business relationship as an unfair one way street in twenty seventeen german automakers exported more than six hundred fifty thousand cars to north america but many also have huge factories in the united states that employ more than one hundred thousand people in fact they built more than eight

hundred thousand cars on u.s. soil last year alone. that means a ban on imports not only would fuel the tensions driving trade policy between the u.s. and europe it would also have major consequences for american jobs. well so far there's no ban on khat imports yet but steve a steep terrace on e.u. steel an aluminum despite intensive negotiations over the past few weeks to prevent such a move frank spots and larry the president of the american chamber of commerce in germany joins us now from cologne so very good to have you with us so first of all do you think that those tariffs are justified. well the fact that these types of come is certainly not a surprise but it is very disappointing i. don't think that between trading partners like the even the us tariffs of this type would ever be justified in the view of the american chamber as well as the view of basically everyone in europe

the terrorists are a violation of the w t o regulations and we see that in itself as a major issue so if there's a wide consensus that this sort of been prevented by all those talks that took place until basically yesterday who dropped the ball. it's not so much a question of dropping the ball of a but of trying to gain an understanding of how we can help resolve the issues that are out there one can argue the president trump is on to something when he says the trade agreements that are from the ninety's need to be looked at in monitise nafta's from the ninety's the w t o agreements are from the ninety's i think it is right that we look at something that existed or was made at a time when there was no internet basically and at a time when people thought japan would be the major economic partner in asia that's

all good and well but what we can't do is to start imposing tariffs instead of getting down to discussing what really are the issues there's an overcapacity of aluminum and steel in the market for the most part is caused by china i don't see how that could justify imposing tariffs on a what are the us as staunchest allies and in fact using the justification of national security to do so that's very puzzling and disappointing so even in that point that trait needs to be looked at again and renewed there is consensus that the french president manuel mccaw for example in paris just two days ago pointed in exactly that direction so there must be something else to it what does the u. s. want that the e.u. is not a was not willing to give. well president trump seems to to equate a trade in balance with with the fact then that that means that something as unfair

and unfairly tilted against the u.s. interesting lee enough if you look at the actual trade statistics yes on goods the u.s. does have a trade imbalance with with europe a trade deficit but if you look at services the u.s. actually with companies like amazon facebook netflix and all of them actually has a large surplus and then when you account for the net income of companies like my company u.p.s. working here in germany the total profits of those companies are well over one hundred billion dollars fine excess of what german companies are in in the u.s. when you take that all into account there actually is substantially a very balanced picture here and if i can take another second to point out the promise not so much these tariffs the problem is the fact that business needs predictability and reliability and our recent american chamber business barometer

many most german companies most of our members were very very excited about the prospect of doing business in the u.s. and rated the u.s. highly and almost every element to that were of concern were exactly those two elements this uncertainty is not good for anyone and just very very briefly on a personal level as the president of the american chamber of commerce here in germany do you still enjoy your job right now wow what a question quite honestly i took on this job one month ago basically i think two days before we have the first sword hanging over our head of the tariffs it's been an exciting time i guess yes i relish the challenge and i've certainly got a big one here all right well best of luck certainly and thank you so much for joining us and d.-w. frank spar to larry president of the american chamber of commerce here in germany thank you for having me. ratings agency s. and p. downgraded to the credit status of georgia bank this after the federal deposit
