shareholders gathered at the luxury hotel and when they had conductor their main order of business they broke into loud applause nissan's owners had voted carlos gone off the automakers board the once very powerful mr goannas facing allegations of years long financial misconduct which nissan's leaders fear might leave a lasting stain on the company's image. as a right to decide the fate of. its a meeting that began with an apology. on behalf of the company allow me to express my sincere regret for any concern the recent events may have cost. him best is to trust the board and dismiss carlos. the final decision on the criminal charges will be left to the judicial system. however the two asses of the issue is removal on the grounds of breach of cooperate

ethics even of one is this misconduct would lead to the dismissal of any executive or employee. or just before his fourth arrest last week going again denied the charges against him saying they're part of a conspiracy within a sound to discredit him and his plans for the company nevertheless shareholders did is they were told and approved his removal as the carmakers chair and it's really such a pity he was a brilliant executive i guess he became complacent as he was being praised so much . for your peers here if you're there how this is so disappointing but when he came forward with his survival plan not just me but about twenty thousand employees across the world were fired as we now see you have so much money to spare and squander a few there was no need for him to fire as i really don't get it. but the car that

the particular. gain will be replaced on this sounds board by john dominic sanaa chairman of rent which has a forty three percent stake in the japanese firm he's promised to dedicate his energy to helping their sound through the storm. for joining me from there now are via skype as michael bay in the from she gets a news agency michael we already know that people were clapping when they heard voted their car has gone off the news our board of directors looks like they've are very eager to get rid of them. well this is a major crisis an embarrassment for the company and the people who are involved in it you know go on is extremely high profile and you know the current board of directors has has gone after him extremely tough in a tough manner and in fact i mean you could even say there's been a rather stained and ruthless character assassination campaign against him which
10:34 am
has been conducted by his accent board members as well as the prosecutor's office without giving him a chance to respond in public right at the same time mr gonaives created a lot of share value for nissan and he called the accusations against him a conspiracy yes well this is what journalists and reporters are trying to figure out to what degree is this a case of what. the board says which is that this is a man who. got out of control after so many years of having everything done for him or is it a case of the nissan board being concerned about merger with renault which carlos ghosn is pushing and therefore in the century concocting a legal case to take him out of the picture and to take him down so one of those two pictures is closer to the reality and it's our job to try to figure out which
10:35 am
is the truth now at the same time there is the question whether this affair is likely to hurt me son's image as the board has been say. no doubt no matter how it plays out images is going to be tainted one way or another either you have a case of this man who was the savior of nissan going bad in and beginning to embezzle from the company as they're now beginning to allege or you have a case of a very vicious boardroom coup against somebody who had been a hero and who had not done something wrong so either way nissan is not going to come out of this without some damage to its reputation assassinating case indeed might have been in tokyo thank you so much thank you if you have chrysler is teaming up with electric car maker tesla not to work on more electric vehicles but to comply with european union emissions rules starting next year that you will

10:37 am
geared towards the world economy very very much depending on global trade and the moment that machine specter is the german economy feels these effects so essentially you look at who is producing the biggest machines in the word is japan and germany and clearly if there is insecurity surrounding the investment process and also like how the economy is going to be corporates will not invest the lot of money in new production lines and that is clearly challenged in the german economy and that is mirrored in those acts but data which we got today though in other news german carmaker b.m.w. announced that is setting aside of one billion euros for a possible e.u. foreign on collusion what are investors making. investors clearly don't like the fact that b.m.w. is setting aside the such
