a lot of finger pointing at the world trade organization on monday and most of the fingers pointed at washington the united states faces a sharp rebuke from some of its main trading partners europe even accusing the u.s. of endangering the whole world economy also on the program misleading investors and money laundering malaysian prosecutors take aim at u.s. investment giant goldman sachs lodging criminal charges and trying to reclaim billions of dollars in the massive one m.t.b. corruption scam and flying cars yes flying cars they are becoming a thing to combat gridlock in cities the idea is slowly gaining funding. i'm christopher welcome to the program the european union says the united states is the epicenter of the deep crisis multilateral trade is going through at the moment and you official made the comment at a gathering of the world trade organization in geneva on monday and other members

there didn't sugarcoat their words either the u.s. claim china's quote unfair competitive practices were harming foreign companies beijing fired back slamming washington's tariffs. for months now china and the u.s. have traded tit for tat tariffs no surprise the latest rhetoric at the world trade organization was heated the u.s. to. share says china subsidizes its local manufacturers what discriminating against foreign ones called china's actions are incompatible with the open market based approach expressly envisioned and full by other members and contrary to the fundamental principles of this organization and its agreements and quote. meanwhile china said that washington's tariffs on steel and aluminum enable protectionism under the guise of national security. the e.u. isn't pulling punches either it blane. the u.s.

for the entire crisis in the global trading system brussels is calling on washington to make concrete proposals to reform the world tweed regulator as the trump administrative questions and hinders the dispute resolution system. they use saying that the u.s. is the epicenter of the global trade crisis now earlier i asked our correspondent my ass waiter what their opinion in washington was on that well this is very typical trump style we see it in his political dealings as well as in his business dealings he likes to come into an established system and blow it out cause an earthquake so to speak which is exactly what we see him doing here and a lot of the current dispute seems to revolve around as we heard at the end there the what's called the appellate body which is the highest court within the w t o and in order to appoint judges to the appellate body every country must be in

agreement as to who gets to sit on it and the u.s. has been basically blocking all appointments in an attempt to force well trade organization were form and this is then the latest explosion shall we say at the. with indeed the us being the focal point here now the big problem here is that the world's biggest two economies the u.s. and china are at loggerheads although looks like some of the ice might be beginning to melt to give us the latest here. indeed so we saw china recently halt a set of tariffs that was going to be put on cars imported from the u.s. in what looks like was going to be a gesture of reconciliation of ice melting as you put it. what looks like there was going to be a thaw in the relations that have been escalating and going back and forth so much but now we're seeing this one thing to put it lightly at the world trade

organization with the u.s. and the chinese ambassador's going back and forth over who is to blame for the current practices being the way they are china even going so far as to accuse the u.s. of protection and unilateralism so what may have been a step forward may indeed look to be a step back now my shrader in washington thank you. the corruption scandal surrounding the state found one n.d.b. content just to intensify malaysia said on monday it has filed criminal charges against us investment bank goldman sachs and two former employees goldman sachs has been under scrutiny for its role in helping raise six and i've billion dollars in three bond offerings for malaysia one development one malaysia development for hard and giving kickbacks to malaysian officials in total almost half of the money is said to have been embezzled from the fund. let's get the latest now

with so few months standing by on wall street so if you hold it goldman sachs respond to these criminal charges being filed on monday. it also sounds like a story straight from the movie wolf of wall street this is the largest case of corrupt top receive u.s. has seen ever possibly more than paul point five billion dollars was stolen and a flamboyant malaysian. apartment and a yacht in private sansa one that goldman sachs is suspected to have been known about that and still having help raising this kind of money but the bank that that it's going to fight big they're saying they have been the victim off the sets of malaysian officials certain members of the former malaysian government and one of the v.a. had to lie to goldman sachs about the use of proceeds from these transactions the investment banks that in the statement the funds have provided reports to goldman sachs that know it's a media area had been involved in transactions so now christopher they're going to

quote vigorously defend themselves. so few months in new york giving us the latest on goldman sachs and its troubles sylvie thank you so much. you negotiators have struck a deal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from new cars by thirty seven and a half percent by twenty thirty compared to levels in twenty twenty one the agreement comes after tense negotiations between the european parliament and member states the u. has been divided for months on how strict to be on emissions the target rule applied to carmakers fleets as a whole part of the box efforts to limit global warming. now china's heavy infrastructure investment in other countries has raised some eyebrows particularly in the west locals however often welcome the projects but china isn't the only country involved in this sort of investment in fact some say

it's even playing a game of monopoly with india in it paul china is building two airports in the country as well as highways roads power plants and cement factory india has also started investing building hydro power plants and now a rail link. some residents of the nepalese city of john and poor come here every day to check on the progress of the trainline construction project the new railway station is starting to take shape and they're looking forward to the new travel possibilities. you know out of that it will. it cost a lot to travel on the bus. so once the train service starts it will be much cheaper and more accessible for everyone. and it did a lot of analysis that we got to figure out the newly forged rails cover a distance of thirty four kilometers and connect john a poor in southeastern nippon

with jayanagar in the indian state of bihar it's hoped the project will increase business and pilgrimages for years nepalese politicians have been promising to add new train lines across the mountainous country both india and china have been competing to build them. connecting. by friends india has. overtaken john. obviously because they have already laid down the tracks and the whole river system is going to function good within a couple of months. right at. the chinese land it is still in a blunt way you know you just fill in the map on the paper whether india or china end up winning more influence in upon ordinary people are hoping they'll benefit from the investment self driving cars may revolutionize the way we get

around but cities are now increasingly looking up into the air to solve their traffic problems believe it or not flying cars are really becoming a thing they could soon help relieve congestion sooner than you think take japan for example the country's government just announced it is allocating forty million dollars and next year's budget to support flying car technology. it's a vision of the future like something from a site by movie flying cars and the japanese government is keen on them it's looking into their practical use because flying cars could revolutionize urban mobility. well. make that city if and when. it's if the main thing if it is needed for was dawning on it. but the whole wildlife over. the other companies get together to make new

rules or new. whole. business and frank. there are trials in other countries to test the technology chinese start up flying car is being tested in the u.a.e. much like that of germany's copter still the technology is in its infancy. i think flying cars can be achieved but for safety concerns i think we should develop the technology along with the regulations so as to avoid accidents you know accidental with this was an. early days for flying taxis but it looks like the competition is heating up in the air. and. i think i'll stick to my very non flying bike for now that wraps up our program if you want more check out our social media feeds on facebook or on twitter for now thanks for
