business department. trump undrunk reaching some sort of an agreement certainly last night how big is that deal i don't think it speaks at all it sounds big certainly monica futurist listen to the two gentlemen there if you listen to the wording specifically the words used by president trump he says we are entering a new era of friendship and trade well for decades we had an era of friendship and trade that basically was destroyed a couple of months ago and now we're supposed to get the. again and also there's very little detail now i am a little bit pessimistic about the whole thing others are not we have a tweet here reaction by the german minister for economic affairs. and his us congress to young trump breakthrough achieved that can avoid a trade war and save millions of jobs great for global economy so obviously that is his job to be optimistic about it to sound like this is

a big deal but i wouldn't i would take it with a grain of salt and that reaction i believe also came out very soon after that press conference yesterday to join press conference in the meantime everybody has slept over this and that the french finance minister is somewhat less enthusiastic he didn't to eat but he stated that to any trade deal between the e.u. and us must be based on resi prophecy that france expects a gesture of goodwill from the u.s. side especially an aluminum and steel tariffs is that on the cards well we have to really see what follows up on this because words are one thing but actions of course need to follow and we all know that you can unfortunately currently not trust the american president and take him for his word because it has happened pretty often recently that he has promised one big thing especially in international meetings with other world leaders and he might have taken it back five minutes later or five days later in another speech in a tweet and it was as though we're dealing with something very complex it started

yesterday with fireworks again and we'll see what i thought it was coming out of that right now let's just be optimistic for a change or let's see all of this is playing out i mean what sort of agreement can we look forward to what needs to be done or you might remember teacher of course of four years the e.u. and the united states have negotiated a trade agreement and we will if we do see a new agreement it might go that way but of course key to everybody knows how complex that was with dealing with regulations with dealing with subsidies i mean part of. they said yesterday is norm or subsidies or tell that to farmers in the e.u. or in the united states tell that to bolling tell that to the oil and chemical industry it's very easy to say such a thing but it's very very complex to actually put in place and if we remember tito which as i said might serve a little bit of a blueprint for what might come up to take light years to negotiate there may be

qualities in life but still that's going to be months or years of negotiation maybe protests and they will see what gets ratified and what not is there of course we now know certainly with president obama in place what the alternatives could look like last how to there from d.w. business thank you so much. there's been a dramatic fall in profits at a dyna the german car maker said second quarter revenues were down twenty nine percent on the year and that even though the maker of misty to spend sold more cars and trucks dima said to trade tariffs were partly to blame for the profit short for this comes after general motors also reported a big drop in profitability in europe dimas also dealing with a major recall of diesel cars. when germany is in the grip of a heat wave with unusually sweltering temperatures of up to thirty six degrees in some places the heat has already damaged roads and devastated crops and higher temperatures are still to come on top of that there's been little to no trade fall

germany's agriculture sector is bracing for huge losses the rape seed harvest is a thin one this summer in the german state of brandenburg there were just fifteen leaders of rainfall per square meter in may normally it's more than sixty the crop is hugely reduced. we've lost between a third and have because of dry conditions the result is that some prices will have to rise to the point of. a god holding cultivates around twenty thousand hectares of leased land in eastern germany. losses on sales of wheat rye and maize are also running as high as fifty percent the company also operates twenty three bio gas facilities the chief executive hopes the sale of the electricity produced will offset the losses but the plants run on maize island

which is in short supply the health of the medium we're buying less me but this year there was a lot of defective cereal from the threshing harvest that is to say maize that is not of sufficient quality for bread baking or for use in animal feed it. now michel i need is that's good health it's again it's was out as a result the company is having to put significant amounts of cereal into the fermentation tanks of the organic gas plant. trying hard to young from the brandenburg farmers union keeps a herd of cattle. the animals only have grass left to eat and even water is scarce. i thought i hope this will only go on for a few more days otherwise i'll have to take water tanks out to the field to irrigate it i've never done that before going to. the limited means crop is causing problems for the cattle breeder. he's already had to feed his livestock the harvest

that was meant for the winter. we don't have the money to buy additional field and we don't have the capacity to transport it so the only remaining option for us is to cut the number of livestock and only have as many animals as we can reasonably look after in concrete terms that means we've started to reduce our bull herd to zero on some one hundred fifty fattening bulls are being called vaca says if the drought continues cows and calves will have to follow. my here's a story about what can happen when you're a victim of fake news and then just are a big deal in japan and for the city of god they're a big money spinner to tens of thousands of tourists flock to the city's ninja festival every year but then reports by an american radio station claimed that the city is looking for ninja paul foremost for a new museum and for

a huge salary it wasn't true but the want to be ninjas came nevertheless in droves . authorities in city hall are still reeling from what happened the fake news stories went viral stating the city was urgently looking for ninja performers for an annual salary of eighty five thousand u.s. dollars e-mails faxes and letters arrived from all over the world as far as new york and australia. i don't know. and we've had emails before from foreign people who wanted to visit the city as tourists. but i was surprised to receive inquiries about working as ninjas there. at least one hundred applications came in from fourteen different countries with more arriving every day. has now reacted and published

a correction online in five languages it says there are no job vacancies for ninja performers and definitely not for that money. and the local ninjas are also keen to put the record straight. there isn't any shortage of ninjas and the money is just a rumor. i mean i won't hire people who just want to make money only those who want to be dedicated professionals culture and tradition can only be passed to dedicated people. foreigners aren't allowed to be ninja performers but they're welcome in this japanese city of warriors. more than thirty thousand tourists came here last year and after all this unforseen attention there might be even more this year. all right we have just enough time for this facebook shares took a beating after the social media giant reported that to use the numbers on revenue hasn't been rising as quickly as expected. more than twenty percent and after hours
