the truth. truth detectives starts with. on t w. here she goes again theresa may makes another trip to brussels desperately seeking concessions on her brags a deal while lawmakers remain deadlocked and britain's divorce from the evil european union is just fifty days away we ask an expert just how much is at stake also coming up another blow to arab forces purse tease playing for a new carrier quantiles cancels in large a three eighty order meaning the end for the double decker jumbo jets. it's all good comes sooner rather than later and dying for change how it started in france is introducing eco friendly practices
7:31 am
for the fashionable. i'm close of course good to have you with us the british prime minister will make another trip to brussels on wednesday seeking concessions on her brakes a deal an agreement that was soundly rejected back home but which european leaders firmly stand by and it feels like theresa may could be late to the party on wednesday the irish prime minister had been to brussels getting reassurances that the border pick between ireland and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. will remain open even in the case of a hardbacks it. oh no griggs it deal for me she gave it her all to try to sweet talk lawmakers but she simply got chased back to brussels to look for more four hundred thirty june eighth as a historic defeat british legislators want a better deal and no excuses the unanimous e.u. reaction so far no renegotiation no cherry picking.
7:32 am
if not making. a rather notable head shake comes from businesses as well and they're rooting for the e.u. ninety two percent of german companies support the e.u. stiff stance towards great britain and the island just feeling the burn first european carmakers are pulling resources from the country b.m.w. will cut off production for the month of april even worse nissan canceled plans to make a signature s.u.v. and sunderland the first sign of trouble at the large plant. well for more let's bring in michael here he is the head of the german economic institute a research institution promoting a liberal economic and social order he joins me from brussels this morning i walk him through the program michael we just heard that the deal between may and e.u. leaders is not open for renegotiation said there do you see any way
7:33 am
this deadlock can be broken before march twenty ninth the day. the only way to do it is that the british side has to change its position and maybe we'll ask to the idea of staying in the customs union that will be solve a lot of problems on the border discussion we had on the island also an island on the other hand there may be a little bit of room for maneuver if you redesign a little bit as a backstop but at the sense the backstop should be there because it's like a sanction if they were not able in the transition period to solve the problem of the north on an island. polar so i see not really a lot of chances to get really new idea and you'll deal as the house of commons asked for so i see it's a long way to go the uncertainty will stay and that's the most important burden we already have caused by brakes it and maybe just way is too long to go because as of
7:34 am
today a lot of a lot of issues are pointing towards a hard break said is it possible to quantify the economic damage of such a scenario. there are some figures on the table that will be minus five percent in g.d.p. over years for the u.k. but it's more easy to say in which branches will have an impact it's for the mobile sector as already pointed out in the in the report there we have a lot of interaction in from a super calls between great britain and and the continents all these branches will be affected in the first row and the question is what will be done and until the end of march because even if there will be a slow usually the last minute the companies has to decide no what they want to do with the actual plans on heartbreaks and they have to stop the action plans on how to exit otherwise they will be not able to react in end of march this is the problem we have it's only the question how long you can certainly will stay and this is the uncertainty will go on as far as we know you mentioned these are
7:35 am
contingency plans there that companies have been making do you think they are sufficient. i hope there is sufficient we do not know really in detail what the companies planned but we had a discussion for two years we had a very. open discussion on this on the risk of heartbreaks it since december and the negotiations were finished it was finished and on the other hand the house of commons makes clear that there is no chance to get a consensus inside so the companies are working on that and i think they will be stopped and they already started. specific cases to relocate production to redesign investment decisions as it's still on the way michael hunter head of the german economic institute thank you for your time this morning you're welcome. australia's flagship carrier quantiles there ways is cancelled an order of eight airbus a three eighty aircraft worth more than four hundred and forty five million dollars dealing another blow to the european playmakers largest plane it was the
7:36 am
future of the airbus a three eighty in question again other airlines also reportedly are planning to cancel orders for the super jumbo jet the first a three eighty went into operation ten years ago and while passengers appreciate the plane for its size carriers seem to prefer smaller planes all right let's get more on the story with our correspondent paul christian brit standing by in frankfurt paul christian the a three eighty is a double decker jumbo quite impressive engineering work there and just years ago it was touted as the perfect airplane capable of dealing with a rapidly growing education market what's wrong with it. yeah just just now the c.e.o. of qatar airways akbar. care who owns ten of these airplanes just like knowledge
7:37 am
once again that it is really the perfect airplane for high capacity high capacity of routes but the program might have come at the wrong time just after it was rolled out the fuel prices went up significantly and although it was it was such a game changer it is kind of a heavy plane that takes a lot of fuel and that is that is one of the problems the airplane was initially planned to have a longer version also that stretches further and the wings that are on the plane right now were created for that longer version so there are heavier than they need to be and that is a drag on fuel consumption i mean there was which has the most planes in operation is also considering switching some orders of the world's biggest jet liner to a smaller model is the a three eighty becoming an endangered species.
7:38 am
plane spotters don't need to throw out their binoculars just yet because the airlines that have the airplane will continue to work with it they're pretty happy with it some are even planning to refer or some of them however fewer airlines are interested in new new new planes of the kind. the yardie mentioned emirates which is an important arab customer also last month hong kong airlines which was planning to buy ten. a three d. removed and order and. there is a possibility maybe if the air bus lowers the price or for a british airways parent which says it is just too expensive now so they might buy some but the future is certainly in danger for christer brits reporting from frankfurt thank you now let's
