especially when it comes to soybeans u.s. soybean farmers have seen prices for their produce plunged by twenty percent after their prime export market china imposed high tariffs in retaliation for u.s. tariffs on chinese goods the trade has almost ceased the e.u. was quick to take advantage of the cheaper u.s. crop something that must have been clear to commission president john claude younker last week when he promised trump the e.u. would step up u.s. soybean imports the latest figures show that that process was already well underway . today that you can commit commission has published the latest figures on e.u. imports of site beans showing an increase of two hundred eighty three percent in imports of say abuse from the u.s. bringing that use total share of imports of u.s. soybeans to thirty seven percent up from nine percent just one year ago washington had already promised twelve billion dollars to compensate farmers hurt by the

dispute with china but with harvest time approaching many of the must still uncertain i think there's maybe just a little bit of comfort there knowing the administration is backing farmers but you know longer we're not looking for any kind of an aid package we want markets to work and markets to be. china was us soybean farmers main market and it's doubtful increased e.u. imports can make up for the loss side beings made up sixty percent of u.s. agricultural exports to the country. beijing meantime has ramped up domestic production and lowered import tariffs on other producers and one side effect of the dispute is that countries like brazil are emerging as the winners brazilian soybean exports to china soared twenty five percent in june. there are reports google is bowing to beijing by creating a sensitive version of the search engine for china such as for terms like human rights democracy or peaceful protests in china would have to be censored for google

to get the go ahead for the venture that is the plans would represent an about face from the us tech giants previous china policy in twenty ten the company pulled out of the market to avoid strict guidelines chinese state media has denied the reports google is yet to comment on the. shares in siemens a slumping this hour a mixed bag of corporate results today lower profits for its third quarter but shop the higher orders still what's got investors and what has worried a vague plans to streamline germany's biggest industrial conglomerate it's been five years since eamon c.e.o. joe kayser carried out his last restructuring plan and now he's at it again. the three sectors gas and power smart infrastructure and digital industry will now be autonomous they run that way decisions can be reached quicker hopefully helping drive sales and earnings. behind the restructuring is

a plan to float all three independent divisions on the market as separate i.p.o.'s where they can be sold or merged something that has already happened in other areas of the group medical technology division health nears went public in march in essence siemens is telling shareholders that for some of the parts is worth more than the whole company and a legal entity by creating a value it's more what you have in their. and should there be any necessity to do so because this is going to be in the hands i sustain it will stay cold oriented crowd you then rate it would be closely connected optionality was still unclear is what effect the restructuring will have on siemens three hundred eighty thousand workers worldwide germany's steelworkers union is not expecting any additional cuts it's waiting for management to explain what concrete changes the new plan will bring. and see if we can clear this up with financial correspondent

a very old case insists he isn't creating a holding or splitting up the company but it's starting to look that way isn't it. yes signs are pointing in that direction what is changing exactly is that these three divisions they won't be run or managed from germany they'll be run individually so energy will be in the hands of used in taxes in the us then there is infrastructure in switzerland and only digital. industries sorry it's going to be run from nuremberg in germany so that's one difference and kayser may be saying that he's not trying to create a holding but he is leaving the company by twenty twenty one and whoever is going to come after him may just want to do that because as i mentioned before orders look very strong. they may have

a slight full in profits but why this sudden split up i mean do they have to compete internationally on a much higher level of the sudden or something. it is definitely an international trying to split up companies folksongs doing it diameter is doing it there are a lot of u.s. companies also doing it and the gas and power division is having trouble you know it's been dragging on those results that came out today and that might be a division that is no longer fit to be part of the core possibly. you have proposed a simple it's. hundreds of thousands of german motorists of found themselves jammed in a diesel dilemma the emissions scandal and driving bans in some cities have noted the dented the reputation of diesel vehicles but also the price of. this v.w. pushed diesel is fifteen years old but it recently passed inspection. before the

diesel scandal it could have fetched fifteen hundred euros now it's only worth a thousand and the owner wants to junk it. given one i just ordered myself in a four and never seem to seventy five hundred euro credit. if customers jump their old vehicle and buy a new one they receive a premium from german car makers worth up to ten thousand euros that's why so many diesels are being scrapped at the moment. some. eighty or ninety percent of these vehicles are part of the rebate program. and they're actually not ready for scrapping they would last a bit longer with a moment. but the premium being promised and in fact paid is so tempting it makes people weak. that this v.w. is twelve years old and would be on the road several more years. in the workshop

mechanics or dishpan tooling it. and selling the used parts which earns them a total of twenty five hundred euros. just for going for and he was on thoughts like that then what it really hurts because a car like this one it has forty seven thousand kilometers on it it's so clean it could definitely be on the roads and it's in perfect condition and. next to the junkyard near hamburgers a car dealership it doesn't even buy back used diesels anymore and the sales of new diesel cars are not going well. sales have gone down twenty percent in the last few weeks and months and we haven't seen the end of it i'm sure of that it's because of all the media outlets reporting that diesel cars are getting bad and median inside the bodies are born and these are for hubble to hear the junkyard is full of used to mid-size diesel cars completely intact they can't be junk fast enough here in

europe's largest recycling yard. the white v.w. lands here to. the do it yourself or are having a field day. for a small price they can have everything they want there are more replacement parts now than ever before. sun got my look what i found. i feel bad that i'm nice doing business with you.
