a large eighty three eighty order raising more questions over the future of the world's biggest and dying for change showing strong have been frightened of introducing eco friendly practices to the question. i'm crystal good to have you with us british prime minister is in may well make another trip to brussels on wednesday seeking concessions on her breaks that deal an agreement that was soundly rejected back home but which european leaders firmly stand by and it feels like miss made could be a little late to the party on wednesday the irish prime minister was in brussels receiving reassurances from leaders that the border between our land and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. will remain open even in the case of a hard. no griggs a 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 junaid is

a historic defeat british legislators want a better deal and no excuses the unanimous e.u. reaction so far no renegotiation no cherry picking. 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 hooter he is the had 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 theresa may and leaders is not open for renegotiation as donald tusk said there do you see any way this deadlock can be broken before march twenty ninth the bracks date. the only way to do it is that the british side has to change its position and maybe we'll get 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 nelson island on the other hand there may be a little bit of room for maneuver if you redesign a little bit of a backstop but at the sense the backstop should be there because that's like a sanction if they were not able in the transition period to solve the problem of the north on an island. apolo so i see not really a lot of chances to get really new idea and you would 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 brics it and maybe this way is too long to go because as of today a lot of a lot of issues are pointing towards a hard break that 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 report there we have a lot of interaction in from a suit to calls between great britain and the continent so all these branches will be affected in the first row and the question is what will be done 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 contingency plans there that companies have been making do you think they are sufficient i hope they are sufficient we do not know really in detail what the company's plan but we had a discussion for two years we had a very. open discussion on this on the risk of heartbreaks it since december 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 there will be a start and they already started different specific cases to relocate production to redesign investment decisions is it still on the way michael her head of the german economic institute thank you for your time this morning you're welcome. to the aviation industry and australia's flagship carrier quantiles alway's is cancelled

an order for eight airbus a three eighty aircraft worth more than four hundred forty five million dollars dealing another blow to the european playmakers prestige project that puts the future of the airbus a three eighty in question again other airlines are reportedly also 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 models. and get more of the story from our correspondent paul christensen frankfurt christian the a three eighty is the biggest jetliner in the world it's quite an impressive work of engineering that's wrong with it. of a c.e.o. of qatar airways who is a pretty outspoken character on these kind of things just said it was really a game changer and the perfect fit for for high capacity routes still

he said he wouldn't be too sad if he saw them on the model phased out why because he says it's just too heavy in consumes too much fuel the plane though the wings of the planes were in initially constructed for a larger plane that was never built and so they're heavy or they come with four turbines and that just takes a lot of fuel which means extra costs for airlines now this double decker super jumbo jet was meant to serve a rapidly growing every nation market and the market is indeed growing so why is the a three eighty s still struggling. it's because airbus made a bet for a while it looked like these airport and super hubs like atlanta dubai shanghai maybe even london and frankfurt here were the main driver of that growth where people would fly to these hubs and then take another smaller flight to their final destination but i don't know about you but i'm lazy i don't want to change planes

and so do a lot of other people and so there are a lot of more a lot more direct connections which are more easily served with smaller planes like the a three fifty or the boeing dreamliner now as airbus has been struggling to find customers with these really they have been rumors about discontinuing the program any two or three that. we've seen these rumors in the past year has come up time and again whenever there was worry about about orders for now airlines that have the airplane are going to continue working with it and some even whenever furbish it currently the c.e.o. of british airways. parent company i.a.g. is haggling for the price trying to bring that down but unless there are orders. air bus will eventually have to phase out the model it hasn't made any profit from it anyway strongs continue for airbus is a three eight or a three eighty super jumbo jet. paul christian bridges reporting

on the story thank you so much. now let's talk fashion here for a second a business that covers everything from glamorous dresses to your everyday sweatpants noddles the fashion industry is also among the most polluting industries in the world your french startup could now help to change that with a bio degradable di potter. that this color doesn't come from a plant or a chemical. it's creation by bacteria. develop dies as a laboratory in toulouse over the years they've developed a technology that uses fermentation to turn sugar into colors. it's a simple process and it doesn't require any chemicals.

breaking down to make alcohol like in beer fermentation here it's used to make color. it takes a week for the blue pigment to appear the substance is then dried to obtain a powder that can be used for dyeing textiles. on the chemical formula get shades from burgundy to light blue. their startup is advocating for the technology to be used in the fashion industry as a sustainable alternative to the widespread chemical space processes which pollute the environment. if we take only one piece of clothing like a t. shirt or a pair of trousers for example ten to forty percent of its environmental impact was due to dives. the company is hoping to target the biggest textile producers in the world china and india and to make the dying process is in those

countries more environmentally friendly. their project has attracted the attention of p.r. song the director of the incubation to lose white biotechnologies. he wants to support projects that make industrial processes more sustainable. see. these processes depend a loss on the petroleum price. when it's very high like one hundred thirty one hundred forty dollars we can start thinking of replacing fossil carbon with renewable carbon so it means we strongly depend on scientific development. team has already produced several kilos of diet. their goal is to produce several tonnes a year from twenty twenty one but if they're to compete with the industry giants

they'll have their work for them. and finally pressure on brazilian mining company is growing following the disastrous collapse of a dam one of its production sites that has now lost its license to operate one of its largest iron ore mines in the brazilian state of. two weeks ago one of. the brokers and one hundred fifty people died since then the stock of the world's largest iron ore producer has been topped. and the rest of your business update here on the w. for more you can always go to our website www dot com slash business. on facebook on twitter i'm christopher thanks for watching and have a successful but. let's
