been the way and that's you and those that will follow are part of a new kind of success. they could be the future of cause the way that it will be. granting opportunities global news that matters d. w. made from minds. the engine of the world economy is revving low china's trade figures for december disappoint markets exports slump by four percent imports are down to domestic consumption weakens what does that mean for the rest of us. also on the show the car industry gathers in detroit for the annual motor show but doesn't really some major company because have decided to give it a miss this year. is unreliable water supply system gets an update that's

good for farmers and for the invite. this is the business on us china's exports dropped by more than four percent in december compared to the same period a year it's the biggest drop in two years china's global trade plus also signed last year according to chinese customs figures but crucially china's trade surplus with the u.s. jumped by more than seventeen percent that's from two fears that u.s. president might feel the need to crank up the heat the simmering trade conflict between the world's two biggest economies. once upon a time china's economic performance wasn't global news those days are well and truly gone whether it's consumers losing their appetite for i phones or turning away from luxury brands what happens in china now happens to the world. there are two reasons the countries trade figures are having an impact on the markets the

first is that they offer an insight into the overall pace of economic growth and to second is that they revealed a state of trade ties with the united states. in the month of december chinese exports unexpectedly dropped by four point four percent compared to the year before analysts are interpret this as a delayed impact of the billions of dollars worth of tariffs the united states imposed last year but imports were also down by well over seven per cent. taken together these figures are fueling concerns that chinese growth could slow down even further this year there are domestic causes for this like falling car sales and a sluggish housing market. but without naming the u.s. directly beijing made it clear where it believes the gracious risk lies. in twenty nineteen the biggest worry for china's foreign trade is still the complex

and grim xterm the environment. uncertain that unstable factors are still numerous protectionism and you know lateral ism from certain countries are rearing their heads the growth of the global economy may slow some international trade and investment may drag. last week u.s. and chinese officials met with the aim of resolving their trade dispute concessions were made but a deal wasn't struck if that remains the case washington will impose a further censure of tariffs on china in march after all despite december surprise drop in exports china's trade surplus with the u.s. still has a record high in twenty eighteen. markets mostly in the red reacting to that news. financial correspondent is standing by in frankfurt daniel can we expect similar investor sentiment in europe. exactly get hard when we take a look at the blue chip index today the positive trend that we saw last week did

not occur on a ten year there are two reasons china is certainly one of the biggest factors here at the moment also because of the big surplus that we are seeing and investors are fearing what kind of consequences this will have we have through member that these trade talks between china and the united states are set to continue by the end of the month and then certainly the side china investors also wore it was going to happen with breakfast with that they are not very optimistic that tourism may we'll be able to get her breasts a deal through parliament tomorrow. during the shops or in exports in two years domestic demand is slowing as well how is that scene where you are is that. truly over now. well we have to remember we are used to record numbers after record numbers coming from china and it really seems to be the case that this trend is

slowly coming to an end maybe it has already finished and there are lots of sectors who are really being hurt by those latest tears that were and forced by the administration of u.s. president donald trump the car sector for example those numbers they have been dropping lately also consumer spending has been dropping as well it seems that the chinese population right now is more relaxed than when it comes to do a big investment when you when we take a look at the trading day also today mostly the shares of car makers in china have been in the wretched day. in frankfurt thank you. washington some bastard to berlin has issued a stock warning to german companies over a controversial pipeline that would supply russian gas germany while bypassing eastern european countries richard grinnell with potently roads to several companies involved in the construction of the north stream two pipeline reminding them of u.s. sanctions and the russian energy sector for now also criticize the project on

social media the us has long opposed nor its free claiming it undermines european security. a survey by the british business lobby group c.b.i. shows that demand for britain's financial services sector has dropped for the first time in five years uncertainty over breaks it was cited as the main reason only last week the head of the city of london corporation said no deal breaks it could spark chaos in the stock markets and cost london up to twelve thousand jobs another survey from b. and c. young consultancy says money managers are planning to move one trillion dollars worth of assets from the u.k. to other parts of europe. it's oit's auto show is one of the oldest of its cards but falling sales of fears over the threat of u.s. tariffs are putting a damper on this year's automotive spectacle and some of the big players are actually giving it

a miss this year. detroit's also show hasn't lost all its glamour but it's certainly not the event it once was the x.t. six premium luxury model. g.m. chose to unveil its new cadillac s.u.v. but many other luxury car makers including b.m.w. and mercedes are giving the event a miss this year. this says the global car market contract and uncertainty grows over the threat of u.s. tariffs. are in a transition in the industry we've had a great run of strong car sales over the last decade or so we're probably going to have a dip in the next couple of years at the same time the auto companies are have to focus on today's business to generate profits so they can finance a future that's going to be very different. speaking of the future one major carmaker that is making an appearance in detroit this year is fox it's expected to

from lower lying regions hundreds of kilometers away that takes lots of equipment and energy and it's expensive the country's aging water supply system eats up around fifteen percent of the electricity used in jordan and a lot of the water it transports is lost due to leaks. by some high end is an engineer who works here on improving water resource management. he's employed by germany's g. i.z. development agency old pumps use a lot of electricity and hajek is installing new ones that use a third less. death was given. away to sustain the supply for the communities. due to its itself would be able to use the savings and then there's the to maintain the facility to maintain. and so on and off this would be in effect. positive impacts on the community as

a whole the new pumps have been flown in and just arrived they cost a quarter of a million euros and were paid for by the development agency high excess they're a good investment and good for the environment although jordan is shifting to renewables most of its electricity is still generated by fossil fuels which he made vast amounts of c o two into the atmosphere. with two equal introduction would be. eight hundred thousand cubic you just want to from this one station. the price of the electricity that powers the waterworks has just jumped by forty percent so pressure is mounting to hike water prices too but with more efficient pumps power consumption will decline. and they should make their water supply more reliable as well. for the second time in just two weeks the hong
