weeks and measuring the vital signs of mars getting all that great science return we're really looking forward to that. after transmitting the inside spacecraft dramatic landing sequence the twin satellites then took this final image roughly seven half thousand kilometers from mars a farewell to insight as it embarks on its mission. coming up bad spin for job cuts a general motors affected book us all feel what happened to america first donald trump isn't happy either. now we'll have that story for you coming up shortly. the story shows the story of the first movement we're told from different perspectives by peter crane from the eastern europe movement in fighting for the

case taking seriously in the world a war here's what's coming up women's. superhero . smartarse smart stage a legend brain creasing lean dangerous time buffer to form on. what. clothes on truth what this rage because this president don't try. also coming off a gemini remains in digital no man's land and you alter high speed mobile service is not going to change that even ten percent of the country on the cup.

down the price coal mining communities on paying to china to clean up. pollution. g.m. said waning demand for traditional sedans and rice in costs prompted the massive cuts and the steel tariffs introduced by the u.s. this year haven't helped president donald trump was quick to slam g.m.'s decision to cut its american workforce. well we don't like it i believe they'll be opening up shop to go to where i was great job i spoke with her when i heard there were closing down i said you know this country's got a lot for general motors you better get back in their suv but so i go a rare echo of trump sentiments from canadian prime minister justin trudeau disappointed by g.m.'s decision regarding their plant in the us well as part of the global restructuring our thoughts are with those those whose jobs will be affected

and their families. but unhappiest of all are affected general motors stuff i've been here for years i've been through closure in scarborough i've been through a closure in london i moved my family choice for this company and they do this to me stir. the five g.m. plants will halt production next year laying off three thousand three hundred production workers in the u.s. and about three thousand in canada the company also plans to trim its white calista off by eight thousand. well let's bring in our financial correspondent now we bought says frank certainly is g.m. really in such a bad way that it needs to five fifteen percent of its workforce. i think there's several aspects that you have to address there yes they are very profitable at the moment a quarterly profit of around two and a half billion dollars that's nothing to sleaze sneeze at and it's come comparing very well with quarterly profits that other companies as well but. c.e.o.

mary barra had to issue a profit warning in the summer that things were not going as well and that's due to several factors one is the weakening car market in the united states so dance for example not selling as well and that's hitting g.m. and also a factor is that mary wants to look forward this these factory closures are part of the policy part of that strategy g.m. needs a lot of money in the next couple of years in order to invest in the mobility and eat cars and everything that has to do with that and has to do on top of financing ongoing operations so she sees itself very very well motivated to do the steps that said it does seem to run very much contrary america donald trump voicing his disappointment is he right. well he has

a point there because he says that america helped g.m. not he but barack obama back in the height of the financial crisis when it broke out and with the economic trouble in the united states with financing difficulties g.m. was on the brink of bankruptcy and it was saved by taxpayer money it's a long time ago and of course donald trump has some aid to g.m. by the way of his tax his tax policy but he also has this tariffs policy and that's working against mary barra acknowledging that that's part of the policy when the decision first came out the stock went up now in pre-training. in new york today on second thought investors are withdrawing a little at least a financial correspondent or to think about stress out the front but something change thank you. the german government plans to roll out the latest generation of mobile phone tech across large parts of the country but its plans leave ten percent

such lighthouse projects experts are calling for a well functioning nationwide wireless network. there are serious differences in some areas we can apply very sophisticated solutions in other areas. i can't even say the network is slower it's hardly available so basically there's no access to wireless networks. the port of hamburg is determined not to fall behind in the digital race there's stiff competition with the ports of rotterdam and antwerp and digital solutions a key. idea often what that means for the course is a way to further increase competitiveness we have more technologies that will be implemented to make the port more efficient this network will enable companies at the port to further optimize their processes in the future. to. hamburg has already gathered a wealth of experience with five g.

before it comes on the market in twenty twenty. china's war on pollution is choking the economy as the government tries desperately to ditch the label worst polluted in the world this week the government in beijing promised to step up its war on climate change and in china's northern coal heartland dozens of chemical plants have already close the people there have been breathing a little easier the region has paid a high price. the city of gin chang has a poor reputation in china it's one of the most polluted cities in the country it's skyline peppered with mines coal processing facilities and heavy industry plants according to data from the ministry of a college and environment last winter jim chiang failed to meet government targets on cutting damaging pollution as a result dozens of mines and factories were forced to shut down. local shephard mr gao says the measures have improved and quality you want shorts in for it all
