driven car makers have yet a long way to go to get back into authorities good books. or real pie which kind of christmas tree are americans going for this season. hello and welcome to a business i want to jones in berlin good to have you with us us treasury secretary steven chu and has flown to the heads off the country's six largest banks over the weekend to discuss steps to calm our kids off to a week of dramatic losses on wall street when newton called the chief executives of goldman sachs bank of america j.p. morgan chase morgan stanley citigroup and wells fargo who according to a statement confirmed that they have ample liquidity available for lending called scame as u.s. stock markets experienced their worst week since the two thousand a trench a crisis uncertainty over the partial government shutdown has at its to concerns key indices have wiped out. games for the cue. ball or what's driving the markets

in these last few days of the year i'm joined by the pundit jim baloo my colleague of course will phone call do you think come markets well i mean if the reaction is anything to go by so far it's not doing any of that likely you reassurance that isn't quite there reassurance now investors actually thinking about whether they have to be concerned about the liquidity that he had to discuss with those six bank c.e.o.'s in the u.s. that he spoke with yesterday and of course today he'll be having a meeting with the leading market participants in the u.s. regarding the current market volatility among other things and so obviously investors are wondering if there's more to be concerned about not really reassured of those points so everybody's i actually kind of wondering they want to be probably listening in on those phone calls and that's the issue right now you know i mean those phone calls just quite an unusual move in a not necessarily instilling confidence there and that certainly when you have that

back backdrop that the government shutdown which i mean we see it every year but this year is somehow different yes i mean the last one was in two thousand and thirteen and that was the one during the obama administration that when white point two percent of the g.d.p. that year so in terms of this one is very probably bad for the market because it comes at a time when the market is already volatile that wasn't the case in twenty thirteen and investors have enough to be concerned about and now they actually have this one thing to also worry about and i think that's the issue at this point is just the timing is terrible at the at a time when these embers are actually a great month when bester is normally but this is sort of like the worst december in years except for of course the financial crisis in two thousand and of course december isn't over just yet we've got the christmas season now we're coming up to new year do you think this could be resolved before the end of if you will i mean is going to be a vote on the twenty seventh of the december that's when a decision could be made and it doesn't look very likely because of course as sort of an issue with that wall to wall. with mexico and trump is not very willing to

compromise on that and the mexican supposedly pay for it anyway oh i mean he wants now his own government to pay for it and nobody is going to really probably come to an agreement on that one at least not until the end of the year. to pondicherry thanks so much for joining me in the studio. pan-european exchange operator your next is in talks to acquire also boris the norwegian stock exchange for six hundred twenty five million euros the company's currently seeking the support of the board of directors its already secured support for its offer from a hole this representing almost half of the outstanding shares your annex which operates forces in paris i'm so down brussels london this dublin said it found also bars position in c. for its derivatives and all services and shipping attractive. german luxury car maker b.m.w. has been fined ten million dollars by south korean authorities they say that the comic it was too slow to recall vehicles affected by a faulty engine but b.m.w.

a year off overtime the low comes as a high level of immigration has led to a significant labor shortage in hungary. the shifts along at this metal plant in cash commit in central hungry. works two hours overtime five days a week he gets double pay for it when hungry is new law on overtime takes effect his boss will be able to require him to work four hundred extra hours a year. no money isn't everything in life i'd rather be with my family here. the plants owner desperately needs new workers to fulfill the orders but qualified staff a hard to find many people have left the area for western europe where wages are higher and he doesn't want to demand workers to do too much overtime.

is not good for me because i won't like it the trouble is that these were a. lot of time to time so it's makes them very tired and they've. not too far away is a plant owned by a german carmaker mercedes benz around thirty five hundred people work here some fifteen hundred are in a workers' union the new law over time will enable the company to have six work days for its staff and that's something they aren't happy about. no more money isn't the argument but since summer staff have been putting in more than one hundred hours in overtime and now it will be four hundred the workers want to spend time with their families we've had enough of having to work overtime and i. can guarantee across the country have taken to the streets to protest against the

new law on overtime they say it doesn't solve the country's problem with some eight hundred thousand people having left the country hungry lacks the workers it meets says research a paycheck a call i think discounting the flow if it really puts an extra burden on the verge it can just for the outflow of the reforms from from hungary that would mean that family owned companies like sultan who gifts firm would have even more trouble finding workers. it's a billion dollar market and it grows by four percent each year us official trees christmas trees are becoming more and more popular in the united states and they don't wither they don't lose needles and often they come already decorated full of tinsel and lights the only thing is they don't spread that christmas you send well what a culture war is raging and only time will tell which side comes out on top. there

is no doubt for many families picking out a tree isn't tegel part of the holiday celebration christmas isn't christmas without a real treat you know you just you know watering it every day and see that smell especially the smell of it in our home just made it feel more christmas to us growing christmas trees is hard work it takes a seedling eight to ten years to grow to a height appreciated by holiday happy decorators and competition from artificial trees have farm owners saying the ranks of traditional minded tree buyers are thinning. we're an industry that would like to remain to be here and be around and if they're ready buys an artificial tree we're not going to be here but low maintenance and a long service life are a tough combination to beat the artificial trees are also becoming more and more realistic the one billion dollar market in the u.s. is growing at about four percent a year. no one got as excited about

a real tree as me and i didn't it was just too much work to put the real train on my car get into the house all of that it's just totally for convenience the battle between artificial versus real isn't a new one but new lines are being drawn the prize the continued patronage of young families whose traditions will determine what kind of trees they'll keep on buying . and that's your business update here on t w thanks for keeping us company and will be back at the top of the hour it's a sea of at. the
