band doris green the moment arrives. join during the taping on her journey back to freedom. you know where interactive documentary. toronto in the u.k. returns home on t.w. dot com the tangs. only move. to the. e.u. finance ministers meeting in spokane trying to come to us with the dream and for rewriting trade arrangements with the us among their concerns europe's vital current the strait of ongoing threats from washington that e.u. imports are the targets for higher targets. and as the midterms come closer to the u.s. the economy is firing on all sort of does but will that translate into votes on ballots for the republicans. cycling in russia people in

a small town outside moscow trying to learn to the benefits of sorting your trash. this is either of your business some doubt as welcome european union economy ministers met an ins fork friday they've been discussing what they can offer the united states to ease trade tensions and avoid a return to the tit for tat tariff conflict that could hit cars made in the e.u. in july u.s. president donald trump agreed to hold back on his threat and twenty five percent import tariffs cost while ago she ations take place between the two parties. yeah german economy minister a pay pal to my old warned that time was running out and called on e.u. members to find a solution to prevent a trade war with the united states. our goal is to fold first of all we want to complete the various trade agreements the european union is negotiating as quickly as possible and secondly we want to drive on the

talks to find a common solution with the us so that we can prevent a trade war. french foreign minister john baptista one called for an overhaul of the world trade organization the w t o. and we shouldn't respond by all flexing our biceps europe is committed to the reconstruction and the rich foundation of an international commercial order that is effective and efficient he said modernization of the w. cio. austria currently holds the six month rotating presidency of the european union it suggested e.u. countries could focus trance atlantic talks on regulatory cooperation like safety standards for cars pharmaceuticals and medical devices e.u. ministers are preparing themselves as best as they can for the upcoming meetings with the u.s. negotiators but all their plans may have to change in an instant depending on the whim of the hewas president. trade with the us is not the only issue on the agenda

and info ministers have also discussed italy and its ongoing standoff with the e.u. it's only has accused the european commission of ruining its romas determined to fulfill its electoral promises of lowering taxes and lowering the age of retirement that would increase national debts to the mission insist it's only must first toughen its fiscal discipline and that it's only wants to introduce an honest if a tax dollars. today i spoke to mikhail jassi he's under secretary of state at the italian ministry of economic development and he's at the talks and in i asked him if it's and he was on the way to becoming the next race. absolutely not today's situation between you and a tele is a very different and you will see in the next few days the editor we do you have a proposed plan to have the sound of money being spent on investments and you know

i think worst analysts this so far are focused on these a ratio of back to to g.d.p. leap but we just from an emphasis on the rate that we do want to focus more on the lower side of the equation that they know we need that growth in the army which i think that is the only credible and sustainable way to turn a country into a sustainable capital the long term so i do believe that once these issues that are in fact i don't lease that there's a whole you and i both will fully understand if we appreciate that goal and the goal of our plan b. you've talked about growth the you base the promises on you for cost assuming economic growth of one point five percent next year the european commission expects its allowed to grow one point one percent and your own accounting boost of the main lobby group representing the talian business this week cut down its own growth

forecast to zero point nine percent is that still you still believe above that i think so because the dogs numbers that you mange of the one percent have come now before document has been fully released and so does not include the details of our own mason plan any no way they will do once they fully read into plan they should lead to a upward relation of those estimates that we might take them a little before time based if they change through the long talk him into it but if in fact this is exactly what we have changed over the last and what we've worked over the last few months or what's the or your feeling of the meeting there and. getting support from your colleagues there. went to disguise to reform for the w.t. all trade war that was the role of europe can be any way some optimists came out to because otherwise the latest in china who are a few on tyrants can play

a very important role being out of this war we still have one of the biggest it a problem is even if the growth is no i thought of course as the asian markets of asia remains a very strong market for us to be flouride is that an opportunity thank you very much because it actually under secretary of state at the ministry of economic development and writing thanks but back. it's a symbolic victory for german environmentalists who've been trying for six years to save a patch of forest near cologne from coal mining giant r. w. e. police cleared a long standing protest come from the far as this week but the court said it needed more time to consider a complaint brought by an environmental group which argues that forest is home to rest species of bats r.w. says this delay will cost it in the hundreds of millions of euros. the midterms come closer in the united states and the elections will be widely considered as a referendum on donald trump's performance as president and as the old saying goes

what decides elections it's the economy stupid that should worry the republicans as the us economy is doing just fine but our average americans profiting as much as the big companies. workers at online retail giant amazon in the usa now earn a minimum of fifteen dollars an hour from the eleven the company is growing fat in prosperous times business is booming in the usa people are spending more companies are investing and exports are growing in the second quarter the most recent for which data is available growth was at a record breaking four point one percent that's twice as high as in the previous three months u.s. president donald trump has no doubt who's responsible for the sustained upswing himself but is that really so. unemployment in the us for example has been falling for some time the economic upswing began long before trump came to office

under his predecessor obama critics also point out that part of the recent positive data is due to increased orders from foreign companies that wanted to stock up before new tariffs were introduced that showed up as an uptick in exports a one off effect that can't be sustained. to russia now where trash and costs for a moving it are mounting starting next year citizens are supposed to participate in garbage separation the move is also intended to lower the cost of waste management . a street party in surrounds a small town six hundred kilometers east of moscow it's being held to encourage locals to sort their waste something few people in russia do among the organized this is twenty two year old political science student victoria was the area signees day some of them at the point of this event today is for local residents to find out more about sorting. events like this a co organized by over mondays

a german company that specializes in recycling infrastructure in two thousand and eleven it set up operations in sirens and has sound working relations with local authorities. with the she said. when you model in two thousand and ten when the government of the republic of mordovia was struggling to cope with the amount of refuse. other with ramana set up a company of them just now organizing waste disposal. it seems like everybody's satisfied for you. but even in surrounds why sorting is not just everywhere the town has five thousand recycling containers but only eight hundred of them are used. it's normal to sort your trash at the seams it's a least we can do to make our world a cleaner place that was the nationalist thought he should guess what it was about wouldn't you do all i want you people from my balcony. arrive with their bags. and

then they separate their trash here. ramond these hopes to profit from growing public awareness of recycling in russia it currently has two hundred eighty two stuff inside rents going plans to increase that figure by the end of twenty nineteen it wants to have a sorting facility up and running here until now glass has not been recycled due to a lack of funds for bottle banks a widespread problem in russia. that's one story there are no official right. governing the financing of waste sorting no where else in russia has a system like this one here in san francisco because it's remote is paying for it. which means a dent in those profits of course but the company is confident the example of some run school be followed by other towns it's

a hope shared by victoria or syria after graduating from college she plans to take a commitment to the environment to the professional level they've used everything you buy in stores has plastic packaging plastic is destroying our world it's vital that we separate our trash and recycle the roll materials. only a tiny proportion of refugees in russia is sorted at source but victoria says she'll carry on fighting the good fight and leading by example. and that's it from me in the business team here in berlin thank you very much for watching. before we go here's a look. at this. area
