the reconquest turned into tragedy this is not the kind of freedom that we want. how did we become a gateway to islamist terror. and exclusive report from our destroyed city. in the sights of virus starts it really worth on d w. a big day for boeing as it presents a plan to keep it seven three seven max in business after two a deadly crashes it's value to quote everything possible to avoid another accident that as it rejects more oversight. also on the show a push from the u.s. to shrink its trade deficit appears to be paying off. and plastic straws and cutlery soon to be contraband in the e.u.

the european parliament has vowed it has voted to ban ten kinds of single use plastics by twenty twenty one. welcome to the business i'm joined in brylin thanks for joining us a balancing act for boeing as it attempts to win back the confidence of regulators and the public without inviting increased oversight it's presented proposed changes to flight software on its seven three seven max aircraft that's after two a deadly crashes involving the model in five months the plan came as lawmakers the mad answers from the u.s. aviation authority which approved the planes for use boeing has been demonstrating a software fix that it hopes will prevent any more of its seven three seven max passenger jets flying themselves into the ground to show the world is on top of the problems that may have caused two crashes killed almost three hundred fifty people . the seven three seven is a safe airplane the seven three seven family is

a safe airplane family and the seven three seven max builds on that tremendous history of safety that we've seen for the last almost fifty years boeing says the software shakes is almost ready to go but the u.s.'s safety authority the f.a.a. threw that into town on wednesday denying it had granted provisional approval for the upgrade also on wednesday southwest airlines which has the biggest fleet of seven three seven max has revised down its revenue forecast he says the grounding of his planes has resulted in almost three thousand canceled flights already have good news for boeing came from the german carrier. he says he's considering a three digit order for seven three seven max is as it expands its fleet. joins us now from wall street welcome to the show you and now boys unveiled a fix and the f.a.a. has also spoken do you see faith in boeing eventually being restored well it's a tiny step to put it that way still

a lot of questions remain answered if we talk about the f.a.a. there has been a report out that it actually might take almost up to a year to figure out of this the difficulty of the seven three seven eight got too much rush to at least there seems to be no cosying between the f.a.a. and boeing so that's to a certain degree a bit of good news for boeing but i'm still there kerry has to expect high costs for a pilot training also it will probably take a couple of more weeks if not months before those planes are allowed back in the air here in the united states and it also elsewhere around the globe. a long journey ahead still for a boeing then but stay where you are yes we have even more ground to cover with you and that's because it fresh figures show that the u.s. trade deficit narrowed by nearly fifteen percent in january compared to the previous month but that was when the trade gap was actually at its widest in ten

years analysts say that's mostly due to an increase in soybean exports fewer chinese imports to the u.s. amid an ongoing trade conflict between the two countries also helped train the trade deficit. back to carter on wall street now this narrower trade gap was of course a stated goal of the trump administration is the u.s. then emerging the winner in this trade conflict well i wouldn't go that far but what we did see in those trade figures is that imports for example dropped quite a bit so that it did help to ease the deficit but imports fell for one particular reason because in december a lot of companies feared that there might be a new terror of some place was the beginning of twenty nine t. and so therefore they bought much more in december and that actually caused an

explosion of the trade deficit given so that eased a bit and then eventually we have this truce between the united states and china and that probably did was the reason as you mentioned earlier that we saw a huge increase in soybeans exports and so that's certainly did help but this is a one month figure so that does not change anything fundamentally about the huge trade deficit that the u.s. is still running against carter talking trade there on wall street thank you very much. now to some of the other business stories making news around the world. u.s. carmaker ford says it will stop producing passenger cars in russia it plans to close a three russian plans as part of a broader scheme to restructure its money losing operations in europe and economic slowdown and western sanctions have put a damper on the russian market several hundred staff could lose their dogs.
