migration are lot more important topics for the people in europe and also for the german french decision which will come next week in a government meeting of the two governments and he's quite confident that they will find a compromise there. thank you. so to come here d.w. britain's parliament forces the government to soften its oppressive position germany sense is growing you are is about the close friends and situation i've been visiting take a close look in the business of those on the way back to the top of the of the. i. will not succeed in dividing us not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of these dictatorships. taking a stand global news that matters d. double made for mines. european stocks to live performances.

it's a profitability. and a stinging rebuke to the trump administration a u.s. judge please. take over of time warner. let's do business what mess scottish lawmakers have staged a walkout the irish say the u.k. needs to make a decision the germans want to be no wiggle room and the british government forced into a compromise agreeing to give parliament a bigger say in briggs the negotiations rebels from all parties want to avoid the heartbreaks it keep close e.u. ties once britain leaves the block. we are used to the right three hundred twenty four the nose to the left two hundred ninety eight so the are you savage the eyes are very narrow victory for to reason may made possible by some last minute concessions to pro european m.p.'s on the streets to those who oppose britain's departure from the e.u. continue to ensure their voices are being heard. the path towards

brics it is still far from clear. and there are big questions looming over the future trade relationship with the e.u. after britain's planned exit from the union on the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen. there's a lot at stake for businesses on both sides germany is the most important of britain's e.u. trade partners and in two thousand and seventeen exported goods worth around eighty four billion euros to the island goods worth some thirty seven billion euros travelled in the opposite direction. meanwhile the e.u. sends goods worth a total of around two hundred ninety five billion euros to the u.k. british exports to europe are worth about one hundred eighty eight billion euros. so it's hardly surprising that companies and nervous breaks in negotiation period

is more than half way through and businesses still don't know exactly what conditions they should be preparing themselves for their demands says by the day. we asked analyst craig oldham if the government is doing a good job preparing the u.k. for the punch i wouldn't say it's doing a good job in preparing people but at the same time i think it's an unmixed remove difficult position the part the whole thing of these negotiations is that they have their idea on what breaks it looks like the you are there why they want drugs it looks like a compromise must be found it's extremely difficult to provide assurances to business when they can't guarantee what businesses want them to guarantee so while they are trying their best it's very difficult especially again when there's so much division within their own braggs cabinets on what the e.u. exit looks like so i'd have to say no but i'd also have to say that it's a very difficult position to be in ok we're getting the message it's difficult as the vision but everyone wants a decision it's because of that with the association of john chambers of commerce

and industry i thought there was a decision when when was it made two years ago wasn't it in a referendum it was a decision. as it turns out making decision and then. phoning it to result is much more difficult than fault especially from the view of london so also in europe we are still waiting to hear wars how can we continue to do business where we're all waiting when when are you expecting some sort of clarity then. a few months ago the but the real issue is. there are too many topics on the table and the topics have to be solved relatively quickly but in the end what we see from continental europe towards u.k. is a fight in between the u.k. government and the companies need to adjust and they don't know how to adjust on both sides whether it's a customs union free trade agreement double duty all standards being still part of

the common market questions are all on answered and time is running out and uncertainty leads to a decline in business and we already see the first results you case g.d.p. is not growing in the same speed as in europe germany's exports are declining to the u.k. although it rises to everywhere else in europe so. the result of non-doing already was a bill what about the customs union the question of the customs you get one that's a big one for businesses what do you think about that well a customs union is is an important step to make things easy in trading with each other but it's only about customs it's not about regulations then birds and other stuff so it's say it's it's better than nothing but it's only a way to have a bridge into something which is like in the free trade agreement or something else it can provide the bridge but not more and the customs union would solve at least

the problem with the northern ireland border and border on the island itself but honestly even there there the signals are not clear so what would you like as a business representative to germany europe's biggest economy what would you like to see what's going to solve this mess. well i think there is no easy solution because that a way would never taking part was never taken before but if you don't take a new way then you also have to see all the hurdles on the way and you cannot stop in front of the first one and we still haven't solved how to get a divorce and then would so we also don't get to know already yet how will our business relations we that there is the chance of a free trade agreement we don't hear that some are support for that from the u.k. is a customs union but only time limited we need a clear plan for long and first steps first but make steps start walking clarity oh

you know thank you very much for joining us you're welcome some of the big corporate news of the day electric comic a tesla is the kind almost a tenth of its workforce more than three thousand people will lose their jobs in an e-mail to staff c.e.o. in the mosque wrote what drives us is our mission to accelerate the world transition to sustainable clean energy but we will never achieve that mission unless unless we eventually demonstrate that we can be sustainably profitable it's been the big task a lofty mission that certainly come at a cost it's fifty years of existence just has not been once turned it down you will profit and in recent times the situations that he wasn't in the first quarter of this year the company posted over seven hundred million dollars in losses its worst performance ever that along with other problems like the departure of senior staff crashes involving electric cars they've prompted the company to restructure key to

test as if it's to finally drive a profit is this car. what do you think. the plan is to increase production from the three and a half thousand a week to five thousand a target musk is hoping to reach as soon as the end of june. we're already in june not wait let's go over to you know do malone in frankfurt our financial correspondent joe the clock is ticking is this feasible. well a long lost fed last week that it was quite likely that those production targets would be met now that doesn't sound like a promise that and so on but at least one analyst firm on wall street has said that based on a survey of tesla dealers and failed centers that tough was making good progress and they actually upped their delivery estimates for tesla in the second quarter significantly it's also worth pointing out that those job cuts are not supposed to impact on production because they're not meant to hit assembly line workers and

production associates but as you said we're already in june that's just over two weeks away and it will be a real moment of truth for avon musk and until be more about must i didn't think he cared all that much about profitability. you know i'm not sure he still does but his shareholders obviously do and in the last months of their patients has worn kind of thin because of iran must take and takes now there was that conference call where he called analysts boneheaded because he didn't like their questions about tesla finances there was that april fool's joke where he declared bankruptcy now the law must cause under a lot of pressure not just to prove a test but can make money and ensure its own survival but that he can bring a certain level of maturity to test and make difficult decisions as opposed to just eroding investor confidence for fun if tesla is going to graduate from being a corporate curiosity to a mainstream industry player and shareholders certainly do not like it when you joke about money do they thank you very much. to
