a lot when in berlin thanks for joining us a strong start in the trading week for equity markets across the world stocks surged after u.s. president donald trump said he was postponing a new round of tariffs on china originally scheduled for march first that has investors increasingly confident that a comprise a comprehensive trade deal between the worlds the two biggest economies could now be within reach. addressing a meeting of state governors at the white house u.s. president donald trump said he expected positive results from the u.s. china trade talks. i told you how. how well we did with our trade talks in china and it looks like they'll be coming back quickly again and we're going to have a another summit we're going to have a signing summit which is even better so hopefully we can get that completed but we're getting very very close to that news after trump said he would postpone

a march first deadline for terrified on chinese imports. after all the positive signs asian markets breathed a sigh of relief the shanghai composite closed five point six percent higher marking its best day in almost four years shares in china have gained over twenty percent since the beginning of the year officially trading in a bull market. the reaction on the street in china cautious optimism. so. it's a positive signal my company bought some plastics from the u.s. previously which hasn't been taxed by china but we were worried that if relationships got worse china may impose tariffs on those products. so. can we trust him i don't think trump is a reliable person he might be good at doing business but as a politician he's not qualified. questions still remain concerning force technology transfer and the protection of intellectual property rights but markets like the

good news anyway hoping the threat of a disruption to global trade will disappear. yes carter joins us now from new york and good to see you know an upcoming trade deal signing summit between china and the u.s. sounds almost too good to be true what would it actually changes anything. well so far we are still a bit short on a detailed so what u.s. president donald trump was saying that it will be a great deal of what we probably can expect that the u.s. will export more to china agricultural products for example so to narrow the you would share trade get per between the united states and china but then there are also two other big demands from washington one is what's happening to intellectual property rights to patents so how can you save those and then on the

other side also how to get us companies better and fairer texas to the chinese markets and that remains to be seen how you can force that and how precise that will be a part of those negotiations but overall it's certainly a good sign at least that there is some hope that the terror of so on the chinese imports in the amount of a good two hundred billion dollars will not more than double as. originally proposed. and turning out to corporate news now general electric was one of wall street winners today could you tell us more about that and. well general electric had a couple of really rough months if not even hears behind them they're sitting on the decks amount of about one hundred billion dollars and now they're selling their biotechnology unit for

a good twenty one billion dollars to danaher and. so far a good news that they can get rid of some of this huge debt blowout the stock of g.e. traded to the upside by a good fifteen percent when trading started by the end of the day only around lots of six percent were left because the downside of this deal is that the biotechnology unit was on not the fastest growing of g.e. and yes they get the cash but they're also losing one of the more promising parts of their business yes carter there with the view from wall street thank you very much. the mobile world congress the world's largest mobile telecommunications trade fair is and falls way but falling global demand for a new cell phones has handset makers trying to find that next innovation that will make it into the mainstream from foldable phones to five g. ready prototypes manufacturers have brought their brightest and boldest to

barcelona. sony has built technology used in professional film cameras like these into its latest spark for. the images look practically cinematic you certainly has also made big improvements to it screens the new flagship should hit the market in june and cost around nine hundred fifty euros it certainly has been steadily losing market share. we remain being completely dedicated to address this smartphone industry was the only vices and looking to five g. in the future of this is going to be a cutting edge technology where it's a very important to remain in this industry for sony and we are completely dedicated to stay to stay within this industry. but certainly only has a prototype five g. phone on display samsung on the other hand is showcasing a fully developed five g. model the chinese manufacturer one plus demonstrates how much is possible with the
