you i'm going to start with that statement that google is not planning to launch a service in china after all at least not for now how does that fit in the very sensitive moment we're living right now in the relations between china and the u.s. . well first i have to say watching this hearing i was sort of surprised that the google c.e.o. was so clear about that saying stressing it's not only once but twice or even three times that the company does not have any plans to develop a new search and jean in cooperation with the china but then of course when you look as you said at the broader context of this matter it is understandable when you look at the looming trade war between china and the u.s. as and the fact that the you ass seems to be growing more and more impatient accusing china of stealing trade secrets and of meddling in the you ass election so

it seems to be a very wise step away its decision for google to say that state don't have at the moment any plans to call parade with china now alexander that was just one part of the hearing another very important part has been focused on whether or not google is politically biased. in its search services something that is perhaps a little bit difficult to understand what exactly are those allegations about. well the main purpose of this hearing in the first place was to examine whether google its search engine and its platform such as you tube are biased against conservative views or is there are some republican lawmakers who are concerned about it and wants the president president's trump who triggered the whole debate by tweeting that google. search system to favor what's the

car dealers to raise prices and your carmakers like ford tesla and b.m.w. have seen their shares rise on the news. and of course markets have been paying very close attention to these developments last discuss them with our new york financial correspondent jim acosta joining us now hi yes it's good to have you with us so wall street from what we saw didn't wait for official confirmation to rally when this news came out and i'm clearly is so far this year has not been a good year for stocks and investors so for us card companies so when we got those reports we did see a jump in the stocks also the big makers even if they had vanished a bit to the end of trading and the big question really is what u.s. carmakers really profit that much if a tariffs there would be cut because if you look at general motors or ford most of the cars they sell in china they do not produce them in the united states that's
6:08 am
a different story when you look at b.m.w. for instance a lot of the cars that they manufacture in the u.s. actually gets exported to china the same is true it was a company like test as i said after the initial jump the stocks still were on the up side but not by as much as the earlier you were mentioning it is a case by case thing but if confirmed this measure would anyway only revert to a previous increase so doesn't really make much of a difference in general. well i mean it's really a while back and forth just early in the summer china lowered the terror of cars from forty to fifteen percent and then was the next round of terrorists from the us side they increased that to forty percent it would make a difference i wouldn't really argue that. the end would be
