this is d.w. news live from berlin farewell to the super jumbo european aviation giant air bus pulls the plug on its double decker a three eat because airlines just aren't buying enough of them to find out what it means for the company and its employees it's also coming up. united states and israel get tough on iran they're leading a new push against the islamic republic at a conference in the polish capital of warsaw. and at the berlin wall of the story of a same sex marriage in spain one hundred years before it was legalized but the film

has stirred controversy because it's produced by netflix. welcome to the program i mean i haven't seen the european aviation giant airbus is ending production of a super jumbo passenger jet the a three eighty after major orders from australia's quantas and tobias emirates were canceled well that's good news for rival boeing bought a big blow for airbus the company had hoped the a three eighty would squeeze allen boeing seven forty seven and revolutionize air travel but airlines have been cautious about committing to the costly double deckers the a three eighty took off for the first time in two thousand and eight and can carry more than five hundred passengers but that i'm joined in the studio by christopher covert from d.w. business hello. kristoff so you know there is a three eighty was of course quite

a remarkable achievement at least in its day so why wasn't it a financial success for air bus there are several reasons for that one of the three is the world's biggest atlanta we just saw there in the report it has about five hundred fifty seats in a regular conflagration and selling those seats to passengers can be a challenging second usually it is four engines and they consume a lot of fuel now adays there are smaller jets that can also go a long distance. but they only have two engines for that matter consume much less fuel and fuel cost is an issue with airlines and the third one is the market didn't develop as airbus anticipated so rather than the passenger numbers increasing on the route between the major hubs of the world new york london paris hong kong shanghai people want to fly basically door to door if i want to fly from hamburg to

boston i want to go direct without going through a major hub and for these sort of connections the a three eighty is simply too big and you can see that no major airline south america has bought it no airline in africa has bought it all of them are going for smaller long distance planes so efficiency seems to be a key factor and these developments so if they stop building this jumbo jet and what will be the impact on the company it is quite a blow to airbus and taking the billions of euros of development into account. didn't make a cent on the overall by this decision to end the production about. three thousand five hundred workers are impacted however airbus says that the backlog in orders particularly for its mid-range jet is three twenty or so big that the jobs can be shifted within the company. crist of color from business thanks so much.

the united states and israel are leading a new push to take a more aggressive stance on iran at a conference in the polish capital warsaw delegates from more than sixty countries are meeting for talks on security in the middle east israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and u.s. vice president mike pence are headlining meeting foreign ministers from many arab nations are also attending but the talks are also notable for the countries not sending high ranking delegations including france and germany. when the time yahoo has sparked controversy after he referred to a quote war with iran in a tweet which has since been deleted he's now refreeze his comments saying this is an open meeting with representatives of leading arab countries that are sitting down together with israel in order to advance the common interest of combat in iran all right let's get more on all of this now and for that i'm joined by digital you

correspondent tanya kramer who's in jerusalem hello to you tanya so netanyahu is tweet caused a real stir in warsaw what's behind it. well i mean mrs you know it's known for it taking a tough stance against iran but it was this particular use of words war against iran there was a statement being put out last night in the english translation where the first version of it actually quoted that to find a common stands. and to advance common interests in a war against iran that this statement was again then just some time later every issue that was somehow soft and into combating iran and of course the rains have. picked up on that and they said well this shows rather the true colors of mr netanyahu and also the two colors of this conference speaking about that they want to find a common alliance against iran so this is so what has been said over here and some

officials said this was a matter of mistranslation all right so saying it was just a matter of mistranslation time it tell us what you think netanyahu was really hoping concretely to get out of the summit in warsaw. well on the one hand of course i mean and he made that very clear in his statements is to find this common alliance against the stress of iran and to find a very broad outlines you know of course the u.s. has said that this summit is not just about iran after a lot of criticism as a look at a broader perspective about peace and security also possibly some talk about the palestinian israeli conflict but i think the other thing that is very important for mr netanyahu you see he's president full sitting here for the first time in years very openly in public with no diplomatic relations and that's very
