that's. dot com. now to sports in denmark scorch nielsen has won the fifteenth a stage of the tour de france and making it two wins in a row for the astana team meanwhile the race favorites team sky's guarantee thomas and chris froome were content to take it easy ahead of three tough stages in the peyronie's mountain. stage fifteen from new york to caucus on was once again decided by a breakaway group with a day all followed by an onslaught on the peyronie's beckoning the favorites once again conserve their energy the peloton around the overall leader and karen thomas and defending champion chris froome controlled proceedings allowing free rein to the breakaway group of twenty nine. after a ride of just over one hundred eighty kilometers last time as magnus caught nielsen sprinted to stage victory. but it is a go they already said that this was the stage for me and that i should go out in

the break well run and there are things i want to perfectly and i'm so happy the name contenders costard home shortly thereafter before the tour hits the peaks thomas leads froome by one minute thirty nine seconds that could all change after three stages in the mountains. are a time for business news now and a warning about growth monica and some reaction already when it comes to that warning sumi oil prices fell today on increasing concerns about fuel demand after finance ministers and central bank governors from the g twenty warned that the trade tensions pose a risk to global growth in a statement to the g twenty called for dialogue over trades disputes but they didn't mention. the escalating trade conflict between the u.s. and china by name so far the two sides of each impose tariffs on each other's goods to the tune of thirty four billion dollars on friday u.s. president on

a trump threatened even would you choose on imports from china washington has also angered its allies including the e.u. by imposing tariffs on steel and the minium in the next move the u.s. is considering a new tariff on auto parts that could hit the e.u. and japan but that will also impact suppliers in the u.s. . but even without any further escalation the international monetary fund said to the current tariff rao could in a worst case scenario impact a global g.d.p. in the range of nor two point five percent i asked chief economist at bear impact bank whether north point five percent less growth is a big deal of a percentage point of global growth is quite a lot it means around the world millions of jobs lost which otherwise could have been created and of course it always carries the risk that we get into a downward spiral or that when you start to slow down artificially then maybe

will be starting now that when we look at the g twenty summit i mean they mean regularly and this particular common the key calls for greater dialogue on trait tensions what does that actually mean in my view it does not mean very much it's basically these people tell each other we should now under the threat of significant protectionism from the us talk to each of the more often to get deals done but if they just called for talks that means they are far away from any agreement or a target shooting their chief economist at bear in big bank today in berlin thank you so much you're welcome china's second largest online retailer is looking to enter the european market j.d. dot com is planning to open an office in germany c o richard lui told the german business daily hundred splot to that of the e-commerce giant will have
