hundred fifty points and for certain you have on one side all the big multinational companies who do quite some business was china among the biggest loser kater pillar or boeing just to name a few of but overall there is the sense and fear that if the trade mission good negotiations should fall apart that the global economy actually will be heard so also companies that do not do it direct business with china but was other overseas markets are also seeing some pressure as far as we know now on wednesday trade negotiations will continue in washington but what really caused the markets to get so nervous very comments by thais are who actually unknowns that terrorism will be increased in on friday this is not set in stone but this is what the speculation is

at this moment and that actually put quite some pressure on stocks all over the place. market moving news there but not the only bit because the first tech unicorn to go public this year has also posted its earnings report and we're talking about lift of course how did it two. there well and those numbers were crucial because we're waiting for the big i.p.o. of we're on friday and the numbers sell for lift were a mixed on one side could increase some revenue more than expected to increase the number of active users by a good forty percent so both saw the numbers but they're also have huge losses in for the entire year list expects to have losses offered least one billion dollars this is far more than expected sold the first off to our reaction after the first a morning's report of lift there was a bit mixed a shaky day on wall street thank you card to there for us now google wants more

data and more devices in every room of your home to collect that data but at the same time it's see also in darpa chuy's said the company was concerned about privacy as he took the stage at the company's annual developer conference in mountain view california to be unveiled some of google's latest hardware and software offerings including a new smart home hob with a camera speech i don't updates for google's a voice assistant and new privacy tools which he said would give people more control over how people track them. our mission now d.w. is washington bureau chief alexander phenomena joins us now from the iowa developer conference good to see you alexandra now you've been listening to the presentation there seem to be a thousand product updates what stood out for you. actually two things i would say first of all the advanced google lands in google search the tool is not only helping to search for thing stats you need but it also helping you

place them in your place like for example when you're looking for shoes you can not only have a look at them but you can also place them in the your room to see if they match with the rest of your clothes another tool with google lens is that when you put the camera on a sign a text or a command google ends can translate the text into low you language and it can also read it out loud that's of course very help for poor people who cannot read or have problems with reading another thing that i found quite amazing what the new next generation of the google assistants that is according to google ten times faster and now better and it helps you navigate through different apps and you don't even have to say hey google any more. fascinating developments there but this isn't just a chance for google to present hardware in products but it's also an opportunity

for google to tell the world where it's going so what do you think of the message that they've sent so far you know as you can imagine the message here was so far very pose a tive ph i told the crowd that there are moving from a company that helps you find answers to a company that helps you to get things done and that is describing very well what we have since so far seen so far here google is determined to keep growing so they are seeking oh it's new areas to disrupt to keep this growth thank you alexandra phenomenas covering google i always developer conference for us. now loud diesel guzzling polluting trucks are a common sight on german roads and their numbers are only increasing but a solution might be in sight germany has just opened its first electric highway for hybrid trucks testing the technology on both sides of

a five kilometer stretch south of frankfurt that he has allows trucks to draw electric power from overhead cables it's the first such test on a public road in germany and will run until twenty twenty two. now here's a look at the new hybrid trucks that are operating along the test route. for andreas pettersen electric trucks are nothing new he works for the swedish manufacturer scania which has been developing in building electric trucks for a number of years this new model gets its power from overhead contact lines using a pantograph. the silence there's a difference. when you turn off the entirely combustion engine and go electric. you still have a little noise on the tires of course but you have no white brazen and no sign sound from the days of that. there are five kilometers of overhead contact lines in each direction on this stretch of the outer band with tests on the way in northern

and southern germany. this is standardized the highway they bought it is the same all over the height is the same so this truck can also go on the swedish road and they can also go on the road saying. about it oh well connected to the overhead lines a truck battery charges so it needs much less battery volume than a purely battery trip in each truck. the battery is physical sizes from here to here and about sixty centimeters deep the rest of the box is cooling and power electronics to keep the battery cool or warm depending on the weather outside in a few weeks five logistics companies will start delivering goods via the highway the overhead line will save companies time you have to move the end here i have the possibility to load the view and during operation i can make my delivery my pickup

drive back to the loading location and can load again at the same time basically if you do it right the battery is never empty and you never need to plug in the vehicles battery or refuel diesel between trips like i need to that's a huge advantage that michelin is just full until today. this is the reason for electro trucks running off the overhead contract lines are quiet and environmentally friendly but they're only one element in finding alternatives to fossil fuels. one of the strictest business cultures in the world seems to be loosening up a little with a slight nudge from the government a state led initiative in japan is pushing for a more relaxed dress code in the office although the reason might not be what you would expect take a look. through one of those flowery casual shirts doing in a japanese government office no blazers wear the ties open necked polo shirts and why is that worker using

a fan when she should be enjoying air conditioning this is not the japan of suited business women and buttoned down salaryman that we are used to. in a rare sight in tokyo's district where the government offices are located we can see men arriving for work without neckties or jackets it's all to do with qubit is the japanese government come pain to promote energy conservation in the workplace by allowing workers to dress more casually and turn the office air conditioners down. it's a significant day in japan as it's the first official working day of the reign of japanese emperor naruhito inaugurating the railway era the new emperor also went into the office for his official duties. taking my stuff it was hot during the holidays so i dressed lightly today my sight is the only iraq i know so i'm looking forward to the new period. normally the japanese office

environment is a formal stuffy one but in two thousand and five in an effort to combat global warming japan introduced an initiative to cut household greenhouse gases by forty percent. at the environment ministry windows were open and workers were dressing down. and that's it for me and the business team and berlin for more business news and features you can always go to d.w. dot com slash business or follow us on social media will leave you now with this quick check on global markets thank you very much for watching.
