give the poor indian so universal basic income sounds like a good idea but. this is business. as in berlin welcome. american and chinese officials are set to begin a new round of trade talks in washington today the latest efforts to resolve the dispute that has disrupted business across the globe the stakes are high u.s. president donald trump a spread to raise further tariffs on chinese goods if no deal is reached by march that would hit an already slumping chinese economy and then there's the issue of weiwei will they won't they that's the question in washington as the world's two biggest economies sit down to work out their differences and settle their open trade conflict since u.s. president donald trump took office beijing and washington have taken turns slapping each other with ever higher punitive tariffs. the u.s. government argues that china is taking advantage of existing trade regulations

using a combination of state subsidies and industrial espionage to legitimately gain a leg up on the competition. case in point huawei. the u.s. recently accused the chinese tech giant of violating international sanctions against iran and stealing trade secrets something the chinese government the mentally denies. it's been some time since the us started to use its state power to smear and suppress certain chinese enterprises in an attempt to throttle their legitimate operations their intentions are strongly political and manipulative we suddenly urge the us to stop ill founded suppression of qual way and other chinese enterprises. experts are skeptical that both sides will find common ground this week china is unlikely to give up its cavalier approach to foreign intellectual property any time soon. and after trump's recent loss in the u.s. government shutdown he's likely to push for sweeping reform of steel but time is

ticking perhaps if no deal is reached trump has threatened to impose another two hundred sixty seven billion dollars of tariffs on chinese goods starting in march. well will they won't they find an agreement with me in the studio here to discuss that issue is my colleague clifford killen in fresh couldn't fresh back from beijing and the us addition to w.'s business team here in berlin welcome cliff a president. treasury secretaries didn't nugent expect significant progress that's a quote at these talks to me we'd expect a deal well i think we were talking a little bit in the run up to this ad there's been a lot of to ing and fro ing on this i wouldn't hold my breath i think. present from needs a win that's for sure and there is a lot of sentiment out there that they have to try and make things appear more positive but they're still very far apart and some of the key issues such as

protection of intellectual property rights and particularly on reform so i think there's going to be there's a long way to go i think before we will find a deal on the more sort of positive sentiment area how much is the crisis surrounding who are way to knowledge is telecoms group. playing a role is it way really weighing on these tools when i read somewhere or someone use the headline wow way to hell and i think that's basically where we are in what a terrible backdrop for these talks and we have this is a national highways and national champion it's an innovator it's a great company as far as the chinese are concerned and a flag carrier and suddenly the daughter of the founder and the company's chief financial officer when one joe is in is in on bail in canada so it's having a huge impact huawei is also suffering all over the world now i think the czechs with the laces too with withdrawal hallway products in some areas so making the

chinese more and more angry so i think all of these these factors are playing a big role in the talks. is it true that if you hit while you hit china one could say that. is it clever move you think from from the u.s. to threaten wall way i think strategically is very interesting i think the brave move you know say it's a flag carrier it's a national hero. it shows that they feel they that that they hold all the cards the chinese have made some concessions they said they will review the foreign investment legislation which made as you more level playing fields but at the same time the chinese are also very capable of playing tough on this it's a very big country with a very big a commie and so i think there they feel prepared to certainly tough it out hard to say how it will eventually play out but i think that the time being there they're quite happy to to fight their corner so the gloves are off and joining us straight

to the tune of thank you very much for this assessment. forgot to india positionally there are a whole gandhi said monday that his party wants to introduce a minimum income guarantee for the poor if it returns to power in the election this year the election juba may will see the silent author on the narrow dynasty seeks to unseat neuron from modi as prime minister and the country still ravaged by poverty the idea of a universal basic income is not new several countries have experimented with it. the idea is catching on in india with one point three billion people the country will soon be the most populous in the world. many indians have no work and those who do have a job often earn too little to feed their families that's about to change at least that's the election promise of rock gandhi the leader of the country's largest opposition party. we've decided that

every poor person in india would be guaranteed a minimum income after the congress forms the government in twenty nineteen. according to gandhi the basic income is a prerequisite for building a new india but he did not say how he planned on fulfilling the promise calculations of shown that the basic income would be around twelve thousand rupees annually that's the equivalent of about one hundred fifty euros a year less than india's minimum wage. well less than three months to go to the elections cash and voters pockets is always a sure fire way to win the vote spot is that feat is it that easy several countries have tried universal basic income or u.b.i. with mixed results could it work in india and who foots the bill questions i want to discuss with is a journalist of course india joining us from mumbai has gandhi done his homework on

this too the numbers add up four days. well i doubt it to begin with first it's unclear what this team made a classic but anyway moving to the you'll be aite is like a lot of big horn in india as budget which is already street if you look at it right now there are more that night hundred schemes that are funded by the central government these are alone on for about five percent of the g.d.p. in terms of budgetary allocation now they're talking about something that is over and above it and could bust even more more of what the scheme is likely to me was when it was in nature and therefore it included more people so anybody could look at it any way you do the math it's going to be a huge task for india to foot the bill if he actually with the u.b.i. you think that will matter with with voters that it is difficult to actually finance it oh well they just go he promised it and let's vote from

zero since there are a lot of existing schemes that are there or did he right now one nine hundred percent mentioned earlier and therefore it's not so easy for the what does just a foil create to it even though it's a huge populist measures and it's way and likely that it may be able to draw what if it's projected in the right way but even right now there are too many schemes and they are really linked with a lot of problems including leakage wastage exclusion of the eligible and even frauds that's why there is no get into that in a new scheme such as the new biotic which mean promise to give a couple of hundred dollars with me image and with the poor. we've just mentioned that's just a couple on the dollars but it would make a difference to the very poor would have not. but even if the current schemes are rejected rarely and are taken care off and our

exclusions are awarded and we can just give it away to even they can be beneficial right now and that there are lots of other challenges that also come with the u.b.i. for instance the gonna miss don't know if one person will be disobeying the food or no one for instance what if someone decides to quit the job and i'm not talking with you and i definitely then fall under the fourteen and then with that question what is right to get the u.b.i. or not that is a huge question asked for the problem will be i also think one set of new challenges and this was just the implementation part and wish of the people above the poverty line is not going to be easy. that joining us from mom mumbai thank you very much. just meat production is one of the greatest comfort it is to climate change and the meat

industry is a frequent target of criticism even from mainstream conservatives so what if you could have your meat without killing all the inhumane transport and production without producing meat and basically without all that goldbach's all you need is one stem cell that's what one u.s. company has experimented with. a burger fresh from the lab something that could become normal not meat made from substitutes but from the cells of a living animal san francisco based justice developing chicken nuggets in the lab using stem cells mixed with proteins from plants such as monkey. we're not doing this to displace small scale farming ninety nine percent of the meat produced on this planet is intensive animal agriculture it's not the romantic idealism of of a farmer with straw you know in his mouth petting is pigs as they go by and feeding them acorns one by one. one of the biggest challenges is to make the lab grown

chicken affordable at the moment it costs around one hundred dollars to produce a pound of meat in the lab but the price will drop as production increases the aims to have the chicken in american supermarkets this year and the taste is about right at least according to this reporter with the head of development. where you think think it taste like chicken. but. we wear it and that's that and that's that message thing is it taste like chicken it does because it is check that they're made out is why big but. that's it for me and the business team a hit and the lens fades news sites next right here. thanks for watching.
