german steelmakers distant cold calls off the wedding to india's top posting of sadness almost twenty percent when it says it is split and will kill off six thousand jobs. this is business a. disability welcome the trumpet ministration has today raise duties on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports from ten to twenty five percent says it will retaliate meanwhile trade delegations of both countries are in talks in washington that are being described as tense experts say the chance of a breakdown of the talks has significantly increased now will bring in our correspondent in washington for the latest and have a look at how markets are taking its but first this report. it would prove to be an uphill climb for the chinese negotiators as talks resume didn't washington just hours before new u.s. tariffs went into effect china's vice premier rejected the u.s. is rationale for the new duties it's accusations that beijing had reneged on

several points of agreement. i've come here in good faith i want a reasonable and a frank exchange of opinion with the u.s. side china believes in further tariffs is not a good way to solve our problems so it's not good for china nor is it good for the us nor does it help the world. few expected a breakthrough in thursday's talks and donald trump was keen to point out the positive side to state import tariffs. i happen to think that tariffs for a country. a very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china we've been paying china five hundred billion dollars a year for many many years china rebuilt their country because of us this is the single hearing up for what could be a bruising trade conflict china showed that it has resources at its disposal officials say its spelt and road initiative can help offset the results of

a trade war with the u.s. and they're pointing to strong growth in the service sector. well. china's high end service exports are growing and competitiveness is gradually improving. with thursday's talks on able to stop the u.s. tariffs china isn't revealing what steps it will take next. so let's see how things standing in the markets and also in the negotiations and i'm joined by michael jackson from c.m.c. markets in london and our correspondent on the results who is standing by in washington and we'll start with you all about what are you hearing how are the negotiations going. pretty silent right now but we know that the u.s. president was briefed last night by his negotiators and that both sides eventually agreed on carrying on with the negotiations is a good sign if you will because they apparently believe that an agreement can still be reached now who's been very loudly and outspoken was the president himself on

twitter this morning and he continues li stresses that the tariffs that were raised last night those will be only paid for by the chinese side but economist in turn have been challenging that and they say that in the end of the day and eventually american businesses and the consumers will pay these tariffs in the united states as certain goods will become more expensive that are imported from china to the u.s. and those are predominantly consumer electronics among other products goods that are not affected though are every every goods that are currently on route to the united states so say on a container ship traveling to the u.s. those goods are not affected yet and that means there's still some time left to find an agreement michael markets up across the board investors seem not overly concerned about the first time. here what i think you see your correspondents lost

pulling a thing there is still a very small window where these terrorists can be avoided for example if i can tell you the ship leaves the chinese puts it. it could well arrive in two weeks time which means for the time the rise of the us those terrorist might well have been avoided i think at the moment inverses are looking on the bright saw it but you say the market is slightly out there still down quite heavily on the week so we're not out of the woods yet. what are the main sticking points i'm hearing that the chinese side is reluctant to publicize in all details of a possible deal was done well yeah that's right reportedly in the run of the negotiations there have been clashes within the communist party in china there between hardliners and reformers and that led to a very late decision on the chinese president xi jinping to walk back certain parts of the agreement that were made in the beginning when quick progress was made and the key sticking points here are the question of intellectual property how that is

tackle and also some certain restraints for american businesses in the united states so there were clashes then eventually of how much of the final agreement would be made public and essentially the chinese are trying to publicly admit that intellectual property laws are flawed because it would also mean to admit that they have been wrong for quite some time. michael tension have been weighing on markets for a while now what will happen if the talks break down this weekend. will that brings that brings a lot of the prospects of the twenty five percent tariffs on another three hundred twenty five billion dollars the chinese goods that's going to be negative for the stock markets particularly on companies like apple and. intel chip makers who do an awful lot of business in china is going to drive up costs these companies margins and essentially i think why own stock markets pretty much across the board

the u.s. stock markets in particular whose whose whose royce i think has been running ahead of european markets in general. michael hughes and in london and all of us are let in washington thank you both very much thank you the planned merger of german steel giants tizen culp and indian competitor tata has fallen through to cope has withdrawn from the deal because it expects the european commission to block its block it over competition concerns as a result just culp said it will be cutting six thousand jobs worldwide plan was to merge his and forbes deal unit with talk to us to create europe's second largest in the producer after oslo mittal the agreement was a fifty fifty joint venture producing annual synergies of up to six hundred million euros for both companies to cope and said they had expected to have generated pro-forma sales of fifteen billion euros.

let's go to a financial correspondent in frankfurt called out that if that deal falls through appears to have fallen through what does that mean for doesn't do the have to look elsewhere for someone to marry. you know if it were so easy it would be great the problem is that there is no one really out there to be married the steel business is a business with extremely high over capacities steel prices have slumped significantly and you know if you are a steel maker europe this means that unions are very strong and regulation is very high the consequence and the alternative for two thousand krupa now is that it would have to shrink this business and this is what it has announced also job cuts up to six thousand people six thousand jobs would have to go and investors perversely usually love. is that the reason the screened upwards by a nearly twenty percent of times. this is one reason but it's not the only

reason gattis and cope will also do something that's made that many of its best as have been demanding for a long time it will separately sell lucrative parts of the business namely the elevator unit which will be i.p.o. it will be brought to the stock market as a separate company for a very very long time the executives at this group had been opposed to this idea but now the course of events has shown that it has become an evitable owner who's now a financial proponent in frankfurt thank you very much for this update. to the us now listing on the new york stock exchange today is expected to have raised tens of billions of dollars by the close of trade but investors are asking will the right hailing from ever make money the company has posed it only losses in the ten
