surprisingly upbeat jobs report for the u.s. in december is welcome news on the new york stock exchange where shares short up also an intensification of no more rate hikes from the fed. and we want to stay in the e.u. but with nestle sterrett and fewer rules that's what many italian entrepreneurs told us here on d w. this is your business update on how the homefront in berlin glad you could join me wall street stocks are off to a monthly labor market report showed that some three hundred twelve thousand jobs have been added to the u.s. economy in the month of december those figures far outweight analysts expectations and investors were also feeling upbeat after a federal reserve chair powell implied that there were no imminent plans for

further interest rate hikes he also said he had no intention of resigning over the fed's previous decisions to increase rates that's despite facing fierce criticism from u.s. president donald trump. for more i want to bring in our man on wall street now yens quarter yens huge job numbers being added wildly beating expectations any explanation for that and how is it affecting the market there. i actually do not have a neck and i can't really explain the engine voted that way how analysts could be so off with their expectations expectations were that we would be creating one hundred sixty seven thousand new jobs for the month of december at the end it was three hundred twelve thousand new jobs so we did see gains in the health care industry construction manufacturing leisure retail so in a lot of areas jobs got created some economists actually pointed to that the data was collected early on in december so before the shutdown happened and also before

all the turmoil on wall street really got started but bottom line is this was a very strong jobs report and that is good news for an economy that mostly runs on consumption and not on trade all right some good news that ben fed chief during powers also been talking today what he had to say oh well obviously wall street was quite pleased what paul had to say by the end of the trading session chip shot up by almost seven hundred fifty points what he basically said when asked what might happen to interest rates that if you look in the rearview mirror things look pretty bright but if you look at the wrote these things are less certain specially was expected calling of economic growth globally and maybe also in the u.s. and he used to want patience so obviously the federal reserve will be patient at this time and that does not sound like interest rates are going to get higher any

time soon and then we worked the trick why we saw this huge rally here shortly before the weekend i n's quarter eight in new york thanks yes have a good weekend. evan has written meanwhile here in germany unemployment has reached an historic low the german jobs report released today shows that the year closed out with less than five percent of the country unemployed so right there hasn't been reported since one nine hundred ninety one. rarely has it been easier to get a job in germany anyone who has the proper training and fluent language skills is likely to find what they're looking for. the latest jobs report marked the lowest unemployment rate in decades and a considerable improvement over the past five years in two thousand and fourteen the unemployment rate was six point seven percent dropping last year to an average of only five point two percent. the rate in december even dropped below five

percent a level economist consider full employment that means the greatest number of skilled and unskilled employees available are active in the workforce and the demand for skilled workers remains high with nearly eight hundred thousand jobs still waiting to be filled. does coast guard say they believe three containers carrying attention a dangerous peroxide have sunk off to becoming dislodged from the vessel that they've been loaded on the m.s.e. we have been traveling from up in belgium to but they may have been in germany when it encountered rough waters and lost its cargo but experts say accidents like this are the result of the recent booming global strait pushing supply chains to the limits. as almost four hundred meters long the m.s.c. zoe is one of the biggest cargo ships in the world this footage from the dutch coast guard shows containers becoming dislodged before tumbling into the sea. two

hundred seventy of the nine hundred 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 too 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. now just before the holiday season rowe managed to clinch a budget deal with brussels that will avoid disciplinary steps against italy but

doubts the italian economy continue and many italians are growing tired of the a huge fiscal policy so we went to northern italy to haiti opinions of some entrepreneurs that. this company and has been processing natural stone and marble for more than one hundred forty years but since two thousand and six that the new has dropped by eighty percent that the my view was that if we used to have higher profits that allowed us to invest in the workforce and on materials but nowadays with high taxation and bangs 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 are. 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 in asking too much of a silly 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 is 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 on that what you call your new play is a. company produces sparkling wine exports to the e.u. account for thirty percent of sales. and i hope our politicians will think of companies out of those of us who don't want to leave the european union and with them 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.
