the first. world some. of them. might. start feb eighteenth d.w. . the u.s. is closer than ever to a real trade deal with china according to donald trump anyway that's coming after days of talks between beijing and washington ended without one in sight also coming up. india's that could have the largest of any youngest workforce in the next two years and millions of parents dream of working for the government are first budget cut out to discover why. welcome to d.w.

business i'm john el-gamal on in berlin thanks for joining us u.s. and chinese negotiators have ended trade talks in beijing went further round scheduled in washington next week now officials have praised the progress made and the discussions but neither side had much detail to provide. not every picture speaks a thousand words proportions and beijing would have liked to hear a thing or two about how the laces trying to of us chinese trade talks were progressing but all they got was a neatly arranged family photo featuring u.s. treasury secretary steve maneuver and trade representative property life hisor alongside their chinese hosts meanwhile in washington u.s. president donald trump was more verbose. tariffs are hurting china very badly they don't want to mint frankly if we could make the deal it be my honor to remove them but otherwise we're having many billions of dollars pouring into our treasury we've

never had that before with china it's been very much of a one way street so that's happening and. the relationship with china is very good but i think they finally respect our country basing has already said it will buy more u.s. made goods to ease the trade deficit between the two economic powers but several other sticking points remain there's reportedly been little progress on us to mom's that china both cracks down on force technology transfers and reduces subsidies for ten mystic companies. to investment analyst kenneth fisher if as the american president is quote a master of distraction we also asked him how well the chinese understand trump i think more than most yes the chinese certainly get more than europeans get him he seems so crazy to a european that it makes no sense but what he's always done and he wrote about this . in his book the art of the deal people just don't believe that he tries to do it

is he makes extreme statements does extreme things seems like he's a crazy man with extreme demands and then he ends up settling for something in the order of twenty percent of what he demanded and then he walks away declaring victory he did that with the north american free trade agreement he's doing that with tariffs in europe. generally he'd start big blows up creates the concern of chaos but the chinese or more used to that because they've got a despotic world to begin with they've got a top down control economy and they're used to the notion of extremity. investor can fischer there talking about how well equipped the chinese are to understand trump now trade optimism because of those talks pushed equities higher i time then to bring in our man on the markets. so why are investors so cheered considering the talks have closed for the week with very little progress. not much progress do you

know but it's still better than the prospect of increasing conversations will continue next week in washington at least that's the spirit among investors who also think that even some kind of deal comes to fruition or will not really talk about some of the warning issues here such as force the transfer or subsidies or what they see is a commitment from china to increase its imports from the u.s. from our cultural products to semiconductors in these last cases up to two hundred billion dollars over the next years or different services all these could reduce it to a gaap a main point of friction for trump but the still several issues could arise such as implementation and commitment to any compromise. seems that open to the idea to extend negotiations without increasing tirades and try to force the gene to agree on certain reforms in a possible meeting face to face with china's president xi jinping hope springs

eternal on wall street and it also appears unfazed by trump declaring a national emergency why's that. years and you know in that regard investor seem to be immune to a situation which they can see the more of a political move the increases tensions between the white house and democrats in a couple of hill but it's true that the political gridlock in washington could bring chills to wall street when for example the debt ceiling gets reinstated early march so it will need to be increase in the next coming months to avoid a default also by september thirtieth if the there is no agreement on a budget for twenty twenty we would see out of spending cuts which would lead to an abrupt and disorder fiscal adjustment something that will bother not only markets but also affect growth increasing the probabilities of exhausting the current economic cycle here in the u.s. personnel at least haro thank you very much. to india now where more than

half the country's population is below the age of twenty five and keen to start a career and many of them aspire to work in the public sector especially in the indian railways that are there and of jobs to meet the demand our india correspondent sagna phonic are sent us this report. and this. is already bus. thousands of students come here to pay for exams the promised land them a green job with the indian government. this institute about four hundred students d.d. . used to work in a hotel but she says she put in twelve to thirteen hours a day. she now dreams of working in a public sector. when you know when you get into a government sector that your life is that nobody is nobody really knew you from the post in the garbage that does you know when it goes out it goes down it goes or

it is gone out of the company like that. a job with long term security is what most students here after. their own competing for needed to look around the government with you she started about fifteen thousand rupees and that's about two hundred euros a month what is the one where the classes prepare students for exams that are notoriously tough to crack the government jobs a crack hundreds of thousands of applicants dramatically exceeding the number of available positions the coach is managing expectations is a big part of the job the simple thing that you have to do. in order to get you so if one makes out a five hundred ninety nine are bound to get disappointed that's how the game is that's although you know holding off but it's cool too. this is the company which everyone hopes land the job the indian railways with more than one million workers

it's one of the world's largest employers. right here. today the company is conducting in a sense but a recruitment drive on the outskirts of the. competition disputes earlier this year more than twenty million people apply for about a hundred thousand jobs in india grades. but for many here it's the only hope to get regular employment and a secure future here maybe for me even if you have a master's degree or the starting salaries in the private sector to look you can support a family and that oh man you're in the villages everyone wants a government job farming is the only work that way there's no other option. and a government job offers more than the regular income going to. a government job really increases your magics possibly affect your family doing the everyone goes they go to a matter of land with the security if you. but getting those coveted jobs won't be

easy if you're living on the one out of two hundred applicants we get a chance to work with the indian railways. and some more bad news for the auto industry car sales dropped again in the e.u. in january that marks a five month long decline according to the european automobile manufacturers association this time the fall was four point six percent to almost one point two million vehicles that's the fight widespread discounts and cut price offers. the discounts and deals just aren't working their magic a matter how tempting and we're not talking small reductions slashing prices by as much as a said has become almost standard that's according to research as the university of duisburg s. in. but despite the lofty discounts fewer and fewer cars are rolling out of the dealers yards. in france car sales shrunk by one point one percent in
