try to run go and trade a deal before and march one deadline. and a possible compromise over a controversial pipeline bringing russian gas to germany as the e.u. sets out new rules for north stream. welcome to do business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us so european aviation says it is discontinuing its superjumbo passenger jet to the a three eighty after a major orders by australia squanto us allies and to dubai's emirates were canceled good news for rival boeing in a major blow for airbus the company had hoped the a three eighty would squeeze out a boeing six seven four seven hundred or missionize air travel but airlines have been cautious about committing to the costly double decker planes the two story a three eighty took off for the first time in two thousand and eight and it seats five hundred passengers. all right let's get some market reaction now straight away

from our market correspondent ali bods who joins us early in frankfurt is probably still quiet around you ali i don't course we've been talking about the a three eighty for a long time now it has been a slow seller does today's decision come as a surprise. no it doesn't come as a surprise and i think it must come as a relief to people concerned because there were fewer and fewer orders and now with emirates. willing down its orders that was it and you know it used to be the way to go to fly across the atlantic or the pacific with four engines and to pile all sorts of people into a plane like that. but things in the airline business have changed the cost of fuel has become even more of an issue and so planes like this are no longer viable for for for the airlines and of course for engines just use

a lot of fuel many passengers will be displeased when they hear this because for the passengers it was often a good experience being on one of them was it does add was have something to come for those passages but what's the impact of scrapping the a three eighty. well you know you might look at it as a loss and prestige for airbus boeing but remember boeing is easing out at seven forty seven as well that's a huge plane as well with four engines and the way to go is with two engine planes airbus just for a reported results and we can see the kind of negative impact the a three eighty has in the first flush i saw that airbus reported a huge profit for twenty eighteen but it could have had even more profit because it made a one billion dollar loss combined the a three eighty and the a four hundred military plane. reporting for us from the frankfurt stock exchange thank you so much.

very well they're showing us tremendous respect and something which a lot of countries didn't used to show the united states they're showing us respect now the difference from the old days i will tell you that so. the deal with china is going very well the economy is doing fantastically the chinese side has been decidedly more discreet tuesday's news that the united states may be willing to extend the march first deadline to either reach a deal or be subjected to another brand of crippling tyrants is likely to have prompted negotiators to breathe a sigh of relief but beijing knows such flexibility isn't likely to come cheap the united states is determined to get china to make sweeping reforms to protect american intellectual property and curb industrial subsidies failure to make progress on those issues may be the real red line marking out the road ahead it is an ongoing saga that's gripped the business world carlos go on the embattled
