time to train those growth forecasts mr peters to russia says new u.s. sanctions will pressure the ruble and fuel capital outflows over the next twelve months. and high temperatures a little rainfall across much of europe are causing many farmers to fear for their livelihood. this is your business update on helen hunt free glad you could join me well the latest traunch of u.s. sanctions against russia came into effect on wednesday and officials in moscow say they're bracing for lower growth and they weaker ruble as a direct result until now the kremlin not dismiss the big falls in the currency as market volatility but not i mean all. this russian reporter is saying that the u.s. is no foundered sports or gas turbines to russia along with key items for the

aviation industry like jet engines and electronics. until now the kremlin has been demonstrably on ruffled by u.s. sanctions especially since an earlier round had long reduced trade in military goods. but the mere announcement of this list sent stocks in large state owned companies tumbling on the moscow stock exchange. it's like kerry aeroflot slid twelve percent of the beginning of august when the sanctions were decided. on the ruble exchange rate has dropped sharply in recent weeks foreign minister sergei lavrov is outraged something of. it's quite obvious that these sanctions have nothing to do with syria ukraine or crimea. they're being used to enforce unfair trading conditions or to hobble the russian economy. a further round of sanctions lined up for november could target banks u.s. russian air links imports and exports and diplomatic relations.

they would hit russia's six largest state controlled banks as well as the country's entire oil and gas industry all of which would have dire effects on the russian economy. well whole street has braces longest full run in history and that despite the news that chumps for manoir michael cohen a former election campaign manager all manifolds could face long prison sentences uncertainty remains though will their actions have a negative effect on republican chances in the november midterm elections and what could it mean for the president. well let's get the latest from wall street our financial correspondent so fishermans he is standing by sophie it was a remarkable day yesterday in the trials of cohen and amanda for what help the markets made of these developments. well one would think that this would have

an impact on performance and stability of the financial markets as most investors investing not only based on numbers but also based on assumptions about how the stock prices are going to further develop and as people close to top are falling some certainly might fear they could take trump down with them or at least endanger the status quo by whatever is happening in the white house does not seem to concern investors too much at the moment they're investing in strong company strong companies that just through parted good earnings that flourished in a solidly growing economy and even if we might see a small loss in the stock or two like we did on wednesday that does not mean that people are selling stocks and panic maybe some investors simply might have stopped buying and prefer to watch the market while holding onto this stocks interesting times but of course the bull run continues as well i suppose the question really is

now for how long can we expect it to do so. yes over rarely we have seen or have been seeing have actually been going on for nine and a half years since march two thousand thousand and nine that was when markets only started recovering from the financial crisis but there are threats to learning for example the multiple trade wars that haven't impacted the markets yet because investors seem to be thinking can succeed in talking to foreign leaders and to get a good deal for the u.s. and then of course some bears are showing up for simply saying the stock market is at the end of a cycle of growth so is the economy so we're going to say recession this i think might be a little too pessimistic and also too simplistic but i think with rising interest rates the likelihood of a smaller correction in the markets becomes at least realistic all right save a human ski in new york for us thanks for that stacey. europe is basking in its

a culprit for. drought in the central state of puebla they play in german comic or fox fox and now in june v.w. started to use pale cannons to protect new cars of the plants out to parking lots the sonic devices are meant to disrupt the formation of hail in the atmosphere prevent hail storms that fall as alleged they also prevent any other form of precipitation the region has not seen rain since may almost say they've lost two thousand hectares of crops in the seeking over three billion euros in compensation from the north america. almost takeaway containers and coffee cups as we know contain pala styrene the plastic is tricky to recycle it often ends up in landfills and oceans but this is good news the canadian startup may have found a solution while turning a profit at the same time. it starts to go in solution we just heard a little bit expanded polystyrene also look at all what you have to do with this

expensive polystyrene dissolved in a solution and then turned into recyclable pellets it's the first time it's ever been done the montreal based company put the steve there turns environmentally unsound garbage into a valuable product. founder so landline says they're recycled pellets are much cheaper than buying new polystyrene. since you are reuse the point daryn you don't have to extract all your gas china has stopped buying kind of his waste it's an emergency situation for the north american country but for brewer it represents a great opportunity you have to see the waste as a resource and to use it locally to create jobs locally and to have system he will product locally so that's a green if you lose that china doesn't want to say it's waste and you know they're completely right now police hopes he can convince communities to add a polystyrene recycling bins. ai is no given fine to use i find

movies from small factories in which the machines communicate with each other to improve production to intelligence software that validates you insurance policy it is everywhere and that is one of the top ten locations in the wild for auto official intelligence research companies are struggling to find skilled human who. are running trains robots to learn skills they have to figure out where something is and what to do with it he takes them through thousands of different scenarios. but there aren't enough programmers in germany who can develop artificial intelligence projects like this. when you're. under a software as a couple of candidates who have these very specialized qualifications they're very good as it so we'll invite them in and discover yeah we'd like to work with you. then we're happy to pay to bring this sort of talent to berlin. ok in

a startup aims to revolutionize mechanical engineering it's up against competitors in the u.s. and china coding these kinds of programs is tricky there are no proven procedures to fall back on an. that's what makes ai programming especially challenging. two thirds of germany's artificial intelligence companies are located in perlin the city is popular among a specialist quality of life helps compensate for lower pay even in silicon valley . as. it's impossible to get someone who's capable for under fifty thousand euros a year. a lot of people make much more than that here. but don't tell my staff our pay is more modest and that's because we have people who are happy to be here. the company hopes its

location can help it attract and keep staff as it races against competitors to make artificial intelligence part of daily life. you're up to date c. smart. we've.
