show you how a device can keep them fit to work even look. welcome to the program. german carmakers are insisting imports of their products are not a threat to u.s. national security this after the u.s. commerce department submitted a report to president that is believed to make the case for much higher terrorism vehicles from the european union on the grounds of national security german chancellor is among those that have dismissed these. the europeans have returned fire a day after the u.s. commerce department sent a report to trump that could unleash the tariffs on imported cars and auto parts the european commission is aware of the conclusion for an investigation but the money the u.s. department of commerce and we're going to carry imports represent a threat to u.s.

national security where these reports translate into actions into mental to european exports the european commission would react in a swift and man. the report provoked a backlash from the german car industry even before it was unveiled the german carmakers association says its manufacturers employ over one hundred thousand people in the u.s. you know over three hundred factories german car makers are baffled at the idea they were a threat to security and the german chancellor on saturday made it clear she stands behind them. and use all those men to buy all these cars are being built in the united states of america the biggest b.m.w. factory it's not in a very a it's in south carolina and now if these cars because they're being built in south carolina are just as tightening as those cars that are built in bavaria and they are suddenly a threat to the national security of the usa that shocks us. i mean it doesn't that

just makes sense that. trump has ninety days to decide whether to act upon the commerce department's recommendations e.u. trade ministers a jew to discuss contingency plans later this week during a meeting in romania now for the latest let's cross over to washington and our correspondent helen humphrey hello not donald trump says he's a terror of man is the commerce department telling the president what he wants to hear. right christopher you're right to point out the fact that president trump is a self-proclaimed tariff man but he's also a self-proclaimed deal maker and you've got to look at this in its context the united states and europe have long been locked in negotiations over a trade deal they are somewhat sluggish perhaps the president thinks that this is his leverage this is his way of dangling a threat of up to twenty five percent. increase of tariffs on european carmakers of

getting the best deal for the trump administration we understand that privately he said that he used the same tactic when dealing with the canadians in the negotiation of a trade deal so perhaps what we see is leverage in president trump's modus operandi . nobody on this side of the atlantic is buying the argument that terrorises on european cars would indeed be a matter of national security how is that argument resonating with the political class in washington. i think it's fair to say christophe that non of president trump's top economic advisers are necessarily in favor of tariffs aside from peter navarro the trade adviser who has a famous or infamous rather protectionist stance on trade we know the congress is against it we know that american carmakers are against it they're warning that when it would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs the very thing that president trump vowed he would create during his presidency as well as consumer groups saying that

this would increase the average prices for vehicles and many people in this country a very reliant of course on their cars to get to their jobs in remote parts of this country and something you know something to be declared a threat to national security that would also have to be signed off by the defense secretary we know that the previous defense secretary james mattis was rather dubious about that as well despite these reservations donald trump is known for holding on to the blame if you think it's the right one all we know one step closer to terrorists on u.s. car imports i wouldn't necessarily say that we've got ninety days now to see what president trump does with the recommendations from that report but i would say is that the stage has been set for the next round of negotiations between ited states and the european union with each side now having their weapons their chosen weapons drawn so for the united states this is the threat of up to twenty five

percent increase on vehicle for the european union this is an increase in tariffs on liquefied gas and soybeans but of course with president trump caution is a was advised don't use home to home for you reporting from washington thank you very much and of course happy birthday. thank you very much. now to some of today's other business headlines around the world british lawmakers have slammed facebook for a beta of yours a parliamentary committee concluded the tech giant should be investigated for intentionally violating privacy laws the case law maker is also calling for a regulator to be set up to police content on social media sites it would be financed by a new levy on tech companies japanese carmaker honda motor says it will shut its factory in the u.k. it says the decision to close its only european plant as a response to global market trends and not breaks it promise closure of britain's

our relatives and workmates. twenty four bodies were retrieved from two disused gold mines by sunday eight men were pulled out alive but dozens remain trapped in the flooded mines. no main. thing that we did things. do you think the and city. last of them bob waistcoat is extracted by small scale miners working in unsafe and disused pits many have no other choice but to work their zimbabwe's economy has been struggling for years and illegal mining is the only source of income for some leave this year german medical supplier auto book celebrates its one hundredth birthday across the world the company is best known for its prostheses artificial bodyparts which it first built for german soldiers returning from world war one today although bach is helping veterans of the

workforce their exoskeletons support the body of aging workers and help lessen the impact of hard manual labor with german workers growing older and their replacements increasingly difficult to find its technology that's welcomed by many companies. at first a few adjustments are needed to fit the exoskeletons on to their backs. an employee at medical prosthetics maker auto book shows them how to put them on. with a little practice he says it should be possible to do it in just thirty seconds this exoskeleton will fit anyone who's up to one meter ninety tall. and if you get is it like a normal jacket it's like a backpack. electricians teacher have a corn and to be as prominent have a lot of smoke alarms to install today mounting them on the ceiling with raised arms is tiring work. the powered x. in skeletons are designed to help them get the job done. and

if it really helps a lot it reduces a lot of the force of what does it feel like. it's like there's somebody down below pushing with a hand going toward just over seven years ago otto book began developing exoskeletons to assist in overhead work from the start there was a lot of interest from industry. but the problem for the automobile industry is that it's a taking harder to find qualified person now and chloe's are getting older and as i get a folder the strain on the muscles and joints increases. the risk of injury then employers face the choice should i also might keep these people. the company decided to develop a purely mechanical system instead of sophisticated electronics it uses intelligent cable pull technology designed for the industrial workplace. the workers have to

move around in many directions quickly under time pressure but they have to be able to move freely anything restrictive is not an option that was the big challenge to build something that will assist but not restrict them. i'm sure. to book sold more than a thousand of the exoskeletons last year. they've already passed the first tests on construction sites holding even heavy tools is very easy with one of these devices . and. thanks for watching and have a successful. reliable
