i'd return to. visiting friends i don't think i'd ever go back there to live where i live there again i don't know so i'm not sure. bearing witness global news that matters. made for mines. from five g. to cyber security and fishel intelligence the world's biggest industrial technology fair kicks off in hot over a dollar reporter is there to talk about trade and trades. also on the show turkish president richard type and one loses ankara to the opposition in local elections but amid an economic crisis that sees the turkish lira tumble. along welcome to business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us now then the

world's largest industrial trade fair opens its doors today in hanover germany and sweden is this year's top country german chancellor angela merkel and swedish prime minister said opened the mester according to angela merkel the partnership will be used to intensify cooperation in research after close political cooperation the two countries also want to work closely together economically and technologically. to showcase innovations in the fields of engineering as well as artificial intelligence and the super fast five g. mobile network. look don't touch simple eye contact controls this machine is this hands off robotic arm the future of automation the latest technologies like this one here on display at the heart of what trade fair technology is a very powerful and but only if you use them to the right purpose you know the

purpose for example in this example a guy. knowing. visual control i control technology is to make life easier for the work act. within a year or two five g. technology is set to change the way manufacturing is done and hand over prototypes show how the faster flow of data improves production processes and makes factories more efficient. five hundred times faster than the actual technology we have. we will use this in our production for at and also for quality systems that means we can get closer to a real time data connection and real time intelligence systems five g. is on everyone's mind not only engineers but also politicians german chancellor angela merkel is against excluding companies like who away from infrastructure

updates in the industry are and soft i don't think we should exclude anyone per se we should rather make sure we set the right standards for our networks and make companies that here to them. machines working together in harmony reality might not look much like this performance but still robots are getting ever closer to the human coworkers. of a more let's cross over to my colleague kate ferguson who is at the hollow by trade fair which opened its doors to her just a short while ago case tell us a little bit more about the event especially what we can expect to see there. well monica this is where the big wigs of industry from all over the world gather to showcase their latest innovations whether that's in five d. or in artificial intelligence what we're getting here is a glimpse of the future you can see some of the examples of up behind me imagine

a future where self-rising cars are whizzing around cities where robots on factory floors aren't just communicating with each other but also able to detect the subtlest changes in their environment and respond to them accordingly those are the kinds of innovations that we're seeing here and the technology that makes it possible is artificial intelligence married with its new fast mobile networking called five j of course even such a huge trade doesn't happen in a bubble there is a certain environment in which this is happening what are the big issues the german companies in particular are really having to focus on right now. well i hate to say it but it's practice practice practice that we're all sick of hearing it but german companies want an answer to a very simple question in eleven days from now on the twelfth of april are they going to be trading with britain based on the strictest world trade organization

rules or is it going to be much more like business as usual and of course those questions come on top of a lot of existing uncertainty about global trade there's still the press of america imposing tariffs on european cars we've also got those trade talks going on between the united states and china no matter what the outcome of those they're going to be ripple effects in germany for sure and that's one of the reasons that the federation of german industries here is calling on german chancellor angela merkel to invest more in digital innovation to make sure that germany can remain competitive among this uncertainty all right again just very briefly let me bring you back to all this new technology artificial intelligence has long been seen as a threat to my. is that still the case. but we thought that remarkable performance there in the report where man and a robot sorry the state organizers here are trying to reassure is that we're not being made redundant that they reflected in the jargon here they're not talking

about robots anymore it's all about coppa right kate ferguson there my colleague from d.w. in hanover at the trade fair thank you so much. people and machines working together in harmony that is what the future could hold in store for us not just in smart factories but also on the roads now one of the logistics biggest problems is empty running a humbug based startup came up with a solution cargo next is the first digital freight company in europe using artificial intelligence to manage long distance haulage full full truckloads across the continent. these days more and more trucks use artificial intelligence to plan their trips six thousand logistics companies rely on a new ai system to optimize carrying capacity the self learning algorithm manny was developed by hamburg based startup cargo next it's fed with data from the logistic sector. learns from experience and knowledge and learns how to predict where the

trucks are headed and learns how to determine the prices ahead of time and how to combine the trips. here's one example of a fully loaded truck goes from a to b. normally would drive back empty but manny knows that a truck will be needed not far from b. in a few hours so it can drive back to a with freight at least that's how it works in principle. pretty dry minded when we say we use artificial intelligence and we encounter quite a few reservations what kind of reservations or whether it works is a reliable service can you trust it basically halakhah. trucking a holler in hamburg has been using the system for several months the company's trucks are in transit throughout europe. thanks to cognex we've already managed to minimize our empty runs to fifteen percent. but that's

much better than the thirty seven percent empty runs most companies have the money system seems to be doing well but sometimes a human has to step in. trucks tend to get stuck in traffic which is hard to predict the delayed in time tables have to be changed so we have to intervene. the more trucks are guided by the ai system the better the software gets and the more the startup benefits it gets a commission for each suggested tour. to turkey now where president richard tight add a one declared victory in local elections but the opposition's success in key cities including the turkish capital ankara dealt a significant blow to add ones government sunday's local elections were why the scene as a test of support for add one as the nation of eighty one million people faces a daunting economic recession with a double digit inflation rising food prices and high unemployment ballot counts were still underway a monday in turkey's largest city and commercial hub of istanbul.

now for more on that issue i'm joined by he's professor of economics at the constancy university of applied sciences good to have you with us on the show how big a role would you say to the economy play those local elections. well clearly the economic recession which turkey is going through has been the main concern of the turkish turkish citizen but the mixed outcome also illustrates the challenges voters are facing on the one hand there is a massive this at this faction there's nothing really happening on improving the economic situation that explains some losses for the governing ruling party but at the same time there is also still a success for the ruling government in the main that. reflecting the fact that people don't really see the possibility of

a change if you're putting is going to come to power so it's a mixed outcome the next day will be crucial to see you haha i think will develop and certainly also to see how foreign investors will react to the outcome. well in this context very important to see that turkey basically had been always in elections and the government basically put the priority on winning elections whatever it costs and there has been no real execution of a convincing economic program so my hope is that the government now starts off to disallow actions really to come out to bring in re forms not only talk about it but just to give you one one one example is some bull it's a very close situation between the. candidate of the a.t.p. and the opposition party's candidate that can be a problematic situation i hope that this will be cleared and investigated

properly and finally the government come up comes up with the real reforms otherwise investors are not going to it but of course the global economy is already slowing and there are some analysts who say that turkey could be the spark the sets fire to the world economy how worried should we be. well you know it's difficult to to avoid our first big problem or think of talking but it's true there if we have a flowed out in globally and europe in particular the price of two countries which are deeply integrated we haven't the one third great britain with. turkey with the daily part and your system and if you don't read your uncertainty or both are this book with big problems where the european economy is no exit to russia and all of that of course in a year where we also have the european parliament election coming up professor and speaking to us from constance thank you so much thank you.

china's manufacturing sector unexpectedly returned to growth for the first time in four months i was in much market china manufacturing purchasing managers index most likely above the neutral fifty point mark it's a partly being put down to improved output and new order and the progress made in trade talks with the united states nevertheless most economists expect the economy will remain under pressure in the coming months. and that is you know business of deja vu for me and the team and thanks for keeping us company.
