a store run by artificial intelligence at a turkey or train station. i've been physical and that's the business what's looking like a messy divorce could be said to get a little sweeter reports europe could be ready to extend the brits transition period as they leave the game to give them more time to negotiate a new trade deal and bring clarity to a confusing calamity. to have a look into just how the european union works you can head to monaghan in ireland silver health farm is a piece of living europe. these ducks hatched in northern ireland part of the u.k. then they're brought to the republic of ireland to be fattened and slaughtered and then back over the border in northern ireland they're packed for delivery while every dog crosses the border of nice three times during its lifetime sometimes four sometimes five to fight for the border has been there for twenty years a lot of business has built up on the b.s.

is of the free access to both during the troubles with the border was there but this was a top area to get employment in those muscle employment no one wants to go back to that's it's not something london wants to return to either but the border between the republic and the north remains a huge point of contention and brags that negotiations feathers are getting ruffled partly because the united kingdom itself is divided on the issue of brags that the complexity of the negotiations are little understood. this confusing you don't know what's going to happen one day they say that one day they say that i mean we don't know what's going to know about britain what is so confusing nobody knows what's going on than somebody told me i explained to me just as mystifying the majority of irish ducks that are eaten in great britain are marketed and billed as london ducks the u.k. is a massive importer of food so they only produce enough to feed sixty percent of the population so forty percent. if their food would still have to be imported the

price would be increased by a thirty percent. category that's going to have a massive impact on their or economy you know people's ability to buy food. so britain had better get all its ducks in a row before march twenty ninth. economists. from the university of applied sciences in berlin what are your expectations high expectations for tonight for tonight probably not now i'm actually really pessimistic that something really comes up tonight i would expect an additional summit in the wimber or december where actual actual dealing is prepared but fortunately. what what makes the pessimistic. well first the preparatory meeting on saturday and sunday was really unsuccessful and there is not really a good reason why over the last few days something should have happened and second i think it's part of the choreography if you like of the of the whole story that threesome may need spec in britain to sell

a deal it has to be it has to be hard deal for for the british population or it has to be there has to be the impression that chief old actually hard for this deal and then it's easier for her to sell it back home and therefore i think it will take probably a bit longer than than tonight so you're basically saying these talks that have been going on for years now these negotiations as well and this back and forth and all these issues that that it's all show no i don't want to say that it's all to show there are many reasons for really difficult talks and discussions like the irish vote a case for example that's really a tricky issue because nobody is she wants to have a hard border between north and southern island but. there needs to be a solution customs controls or migration over the border or not and these kind of things so that really tricky and difficult issues at stake well if it's that tricky and difficult do we need more time to both sides more time that's kind of the idea of the prolonged transition phase that has been suggested recently the problem is

that it's not enough to only agree on a prolonged transition phase we need a few solutions for the actual pressing problems before hand because understandably the e.u. doesn't want to have a transition phase for two years or three years and then not to know what happens afterwards so few things have to be terrified and the irish bought a case which is one of the crucial things because we've already very high we've already had a couple of years and we still don't know that i read it you know that in addition comes comes out that said the german chancellor has now said that germany has become preparing for a no deal breakers it is that because the judge is a so cautious or is that the germans being realistic. it could also be part of the show first and second it's not only a german thing we hear that from other german from other european. capitals as well that governments are preparing and it obviously makes

a lot of sense we have some one hundred sixty days to go until end of may end of march and then we have a definite proof breck's it and we need solutions for the case that we don't know what happens to the what happens to the people to the british people living in germany living in berlin we don't know their state because they are not members of the union anymore somehow but we need a state for them so that that is something that needs to be terrified before it actually happens definitely a lot at stake for the people and for business beneficent thank you very much i'm going to get european consuls folded last month automakers are struggling to pass tough the e.u. emissions tests fogs fund sales in europe fell almost fifty percent compared to last september hit chrysler and those sort of plans of closer to thirty percent the new worldwide harmonized light vehicle test which sounds so nice became mandatory on september first forcing some manufacturers to put the brakes on deliveries want to wait and certification. or let's talk about those new rules with all the

bots out frank man so how much of the slump is down to the new emissions test so late. i think pretty well most of it up until september that they did which you could only sell these certified cars the car sales in the european union were up by about two and a half percent almost twelve million vehicles sold so it was humming along some countries in the red like italy and some countries doing very well like spain or germany of the car markets growing there but now of course the car companies are struggling with the time and effort involved to certify these cars and you can't just sort of find one model like for example the gulf of volkswagen or the may gone at renault have to certify each type of that model with a different engine with a different transmission with different options air conditioning or not to navigation or not the different weights and this over different driving conditions

different speeds so it's an immensely complicated and time consuming issue and that just means that cars don't move a lot while the certification for each of these probably thousands of different types of vehicles is still out there will it's no wonder then that b.w. says it will continue to see effects this month this month but it predicts stronger months to follow is that over to mystic. we don't really know i suspect that is because at some time the testing will be over and then customers will be able to take delivery of cars they order dealers will be able to start selling again and the market was in a good shape before this we see this by the nine months figures january to september and it's not just folks wagon saying that there's an expert and analyst from eve why a consultant company that specializes this analyst in the automotive industry and he says yes a low until october but then after that it should start to normalize when he bought

in for. some of these next findings may surprise you the world economic forum has released its competition index for economies around the world it's closely watched as global investors try to decide where to put their money next. it's a highly coveted trait that gives one country an edge over another and now thanks to a study by the world economic forum the most competitive economies in the world have been revealed the study's authors looked at a variety of factors including innovation and how dynamic a country's business environment is they were also interested in technological readiness as well as the state of a country's health and education systems. so who came out on top let's take a look at the results. coming in at number one is the world's biggest economy the united states it's good especially high on the business dynamism measure number two might surprise you it singapore

a country of just five million people it's defining competitive feature was openness third prize for competitiveness goes to germany which did especially well in the area of innovation the other top performers were mainly in europe with japan and hong kong standing out in asia. but the report suggests that even top performers should not rest on their laurels while the united states gained a lot of points for its dynamic entrepreneurial culture the study points out that it did relatively badly on other measures like health. health adjusted life expectancy that is the number of years a person can expect to stay healthy is only sixty seven years in the us that's three years below the average of advanced economies. you've already had to say goodbye to human stuff when you check in for a flight now it's time to say goodbye to the cashier i go local store china's tried out the concept now it's japan's turn. if you come here expecting a cashier you're in for a surprise at this station store in tokyo shoppers serve themselves dozens of
