these appearances since the day i was elected since last year was reelected that and there was the only seat i may or eat eat a c.d.n. at that effected by the people being good for the militants and not not for the most seasoned medium of the stuff sank you so much for joining us and then it all on how madoff alabama. and six you're up to date at the top of the. earth. home to millions of species a home worth saving. those are big changes and most start with small steps global ideas tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world like to use the climate green energy solutions and reforestation.

the dax and the dow surging it's thanks to a promising us jobs report and hopes of progress on the trade front china says american representatives will visit beijing on monday for two days of talks to try to easing tensions president donald trump and his chinese counterpart xi jinping had agreed to hopes additional tariffs. as of december first the agreement lasts ninety days while they work out a more permanent solution a negotiation will stop by focusing on steel agricultural products and cause reciprocal tariffs have affected hundreds of billions of dollars worth of materials and merchandise. over to pokus. frankfurt correspondent why so much excitement i can see the dax for there behind you why so much excitement when . nothing's really happened it. well but if you had spent the week on the trading floor you'd be looking for any

sort of positive news it has been very sad to look at some people have asked if maybe some shares are now even under priced and looking for opportunities now the opportunity came this is still a positive sign though because it is the first face to face contact between the u.s. and china since the truce and the situation has changed a little bit some of the leverage from the u.s. side has gone after apple's wall these china policies are really affecting us too. and so both sides now have maybe a real little bit more of an incentive to get together and to figure this out even though no immediate breakthrough is expected but has the overall global economic situation changed at all because a slowdown is going to be on its way. well yes there is certainly a fear of a slowdown in the markets and has been in the past week and even months even fed chair jerome powell said so today which by the way gave the docs another hit. he

would be watching the markets but we're going to have to look at the data and the data the economic data is not very clear it's mixed today we've got positive news on the on the jobs report for example. popular joke goes the markets predict nine out of five recessions. so that fear factor may be maybe a problem in itself some economists say that if we worry too much without reason we may actually cause a downturn because we're investing too little and thereby creating economic problems across the boards in frankfurt. christmas has come again for those living along the dutch coast toys furniture and t.v.'s have been washed up on beaches after a cargo ship lost a heap of its content is some of the dangerous goods. as almost four hundred meters long the amnesty. zoe is one of the biggest cargo ships in the world this footage from the dutch coastguard shows containers becoming dislodged before tumbling into

the sea. two hundred and seventy of the nineteen thousand containers the vessel had been carrying fell overboard over the years the size of cargo ships and their capacity has increased significantly when accidents happen the containers often end up washed ashore. that was the case for the cargo on board the m.s.c. zoe to some twenty containers have so far been washed up on dutch and german shores . three of the containers lost by the m.s.c. zoe are said to contain peroxide a potentially harmful chemical. the number of containers lost at sea is difficult to ascertain the world shipping council says the number is about sixteen hundred per year but others say could be as high as ten thousand. joins us now from greenpeace something like this doesn't happen every day but we do know that hundreds at least hundreds of missing every year is that going to change. an

incident which is being so why the media. well i'm afraid that will not change that quickly because as long as we consume so many goods as we do know a days all over the world we will have shipments with a huge number of containers and we're talking about big ships every year push for bigger ships i guess the wrists increase the bigger the ship. well the risk would increase the more we have to transport such goods into dangerous goods like chemicals for example but relatively to air cargo for example the shipment on this contain a bill to smudge much more safety and the the avenues these ships have to take are also big wide and the deep and you mentioned dangerous goods they have how big is the risk of shipping dangerous goods around the world. yes said before

dangerous to transport dangerous goods is a risk of course this specific chemical that has been has has gone overboard in this accident is there is a dangerous chemical but it's not such a big poison so that you have to be afraid that it will last for. many years but it is very important to avoid any contact with this chemical i guess that we're not talking about a huge oil spill such a disaster like that it would fit in containers with proper tracking devices for example solve everything. but i think it would not solve everything of course but it would make it much more easy to find this containers once they went overboard and that's that's among of the very urgent things here because as you can see now there are. single backs with this chemical is washed on the shore of the

neverland islands and that means the container is the image already and if you could have find it earlier maybe this could have been managed and really briefly why are we seeing tracking devices used i mean so many goods a tag with our i.d.'s for example these days we're talking about the digital age you know white why don't we have it already. good question i don't know the technology is there everything is prepared it's the question to the shipping companies why they don't use it but i think we change the no and see if they can get their act together month from greenpeace thank you very much for joining us here on the w. thank you a japanese court says it will hold a hearing into the case of carlos going next choose day after lawyers for the former chairman requested an explanation for his continuing to tension going has been locked up in a tokyo jail since authorities arrested him back in november on charges of

world if found guilty go on could face years in jail just before the holiday season managed to clinch a budget deal with brussels well avoid disciplinary steps against italy but down something italian economy persist and many italians are growing tired of e.u. fiscal policy and once you know immediately the opinions of some entrepreneurs. this company and the tenser has been processing natural stone and marble for more than one hundred forty years but since two thousand and six met the new has dropped by eighty percent i believe in my duty when i knew all that but we used to have higher profits that allowed us to invest in the workforce and on materials but nowadays with high taxation and banks that explosions we don't make the same profits anymore there's no lack of work it's the taxes that are killing entrepreneurship they're too high with us or. basically slow economic recovery

since the financial crisis still weighs on entrepreneurs some say they're tired of living under the e.u.'s strict fiscal rules. and i still think that the e.u. is a good thing. but it asking too much of a shilling i don't see this is a good thing. but leaving the e.u. i don't know. despite growing disaffection with the e.u. most entrepreneurs would prefer to stay in the common marcus. political problem that i believe that the problem with the e.u. is the one size fits all rules from member states but we're all in different situations we need more flexibility in the different situations of every state need to be taken into account that when you think that you're buying is a. great company produce a sparkling wine exports to the e.u. account for thirty percent of sales. it's a pity our wealthy i hope our politicians will think of companies and of those of

us who don't want to leave the european union. will see that the italian government has backed down in its budget standoff with the e.u. but until the country finds a way to boost its economy more confrontations can be expected. as doing business or.
