it's to sideline the tech supplier. this is the doorway of this i'm joined now the milan in berlin good to have you with us more problems for us plane maker boeing the company has admitted that some of that 737 planes they have faulty parts on their wings now this comes as global airlines met in seoul to discuss the industry's future direction not long ago the south korean capital was at the center of a region seeing strong growth in air travel but now that's all in doubt. at the annual gathering of airline heavyweights the picture is grim surging oil prices a faltering global economy and fears of a passenger safety it's been a char bulent 12 months that's a major demands robbers' the trade was and for tips in this measures are taking the toll on the cargo business and rising costs for fuel labor and infrastructure are squeezing margie's the industry has cut its profit forecast by

a 5th expecting to take home 20000000000 dollars this year that after icelandic airline while air went bankrupt in march the latest in a flurry of failed flight operators and not referred to in the profit warning of the 2 fetal boeing 737 max crashes and the continued groaning of the fleet has plunged aviation into a crisis well news that hundreds of 70 seven's may have faulty wing parts only added to the uncertainty. back in south korea after his boss said trust had been damaged but try to summon some positivity. look into the future the outlook is optimistic demand is forecast to double over the next 2 decades with the cost of travel 48 percent lower than a decade ago the freedom to fly is reaching more people than ever. such growing

demand has forced the industry to reckon with its environmental impact members but calls for an international carbon offsetting and reduction scheme. for more let's bring in d.-w. thought democrats who was at that conference in seoul i thought that it's good to see you know this is 801st they gather in since those 2 deadly boeing 737 max crashes how is that discussed there. to be honest i think i wish it was it would have been more openly discussed and it was the message of the yacht a conference was more like it's in the hands of the regulators on whether and when the boeing model can be in operation again this the time frame yet but not the meeting was scheduled that will be called held by the end of 2 and there they can manufacture us regulators the various will need to discuss that some people tell me here that this might be actually by the end of june that the boeing 737 mexican fly

again up us tell me they are surprised that this will happen even before christmas so that's really conflicting but there was also a lot of self criticism that the public trust has been shattered and why because in grounding the boeing there was really not a coordinated approach it was very confusing the u.s. was lost china was 1st and that really. was a broad signal to the customer. so still some confusion regarding the future of boeing there but there's also a trade tensions cast a shadow on the airline industry now airlines our airlines are dealing with that situation. that's q. biggest issue the trade war has basically slashed the profit outlook for this year . $7500000000.00 to now $28.00 a $1000000000.00 that's one 5th less than what they suggested for the growth outlook in just december of this year and the message is set by the director of the

iata yes no easy money to be made and in general the operating costs are rising labor costs infrastructure costs etc and you know the whole operating costs are rising by 7.5 percent this year while still going up 6.4 percent so much and so are going down. thank you 5 and credit for there in seoul for us. india has called a u.s. decision to end preferential trade with the country unfortunate stressing that while new delhi has made efforts to accommodate washington it would always act and it's the tional interest on trade this comes after u.s. president donald trump decided to cancel india's classification as a beneficiary developing country trump said india had not assured the u.s. that it would provide equitable and reasonable access to its markets. now it's not just india that's in the throes of trade woes ties between the us and

china remain strained china now releasing a white paper outlining its position daniel cole is at the frankfurt stock exchange to discuss this with us hi daniel good to see you know that white paper must have been closely scrutinized where you are what stood out to. yeah there's an l well i can tell you that the white paper is actually very interesting and investors here at the trading floor were also taking a closer look at this well it seems that china in general is still willing to negotiate but on the other hand they also clearly are saying that they are not afraid of a potential trade war let me tell you kind of the atmosphere that's what also traders are telling us here that there is some concern there was some hope in fact some weeks ago that there could be a solution in this ongoing trade conflict but with this new and very strong rhetoric from the u.s. president investors don't believe that this that there will be a solution happening very soon. now those trade worries had asian markets starting the week in negative territory as euro holding up here we're seeing

a similar situation happening here in europe as well the blue chip index stacks in the rats today also when you take a look at the other markets like the footsie 100 in london or the cac 40 in paris similar situation there is well very interesting this swiss franc on the true year high today it seems that investors are looking at the moment for safe havens. there in frankfurt for us thank you very much. for months now a chinese tech supplier while way has found itself on the receiving end of a washington led campaign to get shut out of creating 5 g. networks around the world it's like a wall where users are worried about what that means for the now at the time though while i was at pains to reassure them. here in bangkok hallway distributers j. mart are hoping an army of smiling faces canal shine the bad press always phones run google's android operating system. and the search giant was recently forced to

block the handsets from using its software thanks to u.s. sanctions. something that's weighing on the minds of potential customers. i made my day was they made with the ball always. but i'm more of that the old phone will not be able to update. because of what has happened with huawei. and those concerns are likely one reason why customers interest is dropping was sales have dropped by more than half of it was and there were far fewer customers compared to last year it was. but it's actually antennas like these that are at the heart of u.s. concerns about huawei. the chinese telecoms giant is the leading producer of technology used in 5 g. networks and washington fears the company's technology could be used to funnel

information to the chinese government something while he denies and it's gotten some support from the u.s. base institute of electrical and electronics engineers that's the influential research group that recently lifted its ban on huawei employees participating in their publications. but back in bangkok news like that is unlikely to do much to assuage customer worries. it's white cold season in germany but if you think that has anything to do with precious metals you're all white asparagus reign supreme on dinner plates across the country from april to late drew a one small town consider itself the country's white asparagus capital our reporter kate ferguson was there in search of the roots of the watch love the vegetable. this is being a it's a time of 12000 people known for one thing and one thing only. barry guessed the people here love the vegetables so much they've dedicated

a small town's economic and cultural life come to be defined by asparagus. it all began with this man carla flea vilhelm head man back in 861 he planted the 1st asparagus seeds in vail at. the loose sandy earth of the region proved ideal for the crop in the following decades billets became known as the spark of the asparagus town. but the good times weren't to last journal world war 2 production plummeted then after a brief for in a sense growth was once again curbed this time because of collectivize ation in communist ruled east germany. after the country's reunification the asparagus tradition was revived and production what's again skyrocketed. since 2018 the european union has even recognized billets asparagus as a protected brand which he thought he'd sold with juju the tradition and the

quality of this asparagus we wanted to protect the brand it was a long journey for the asparagus farmers in the end the e.u. gave us a seal of approval and last year we got the certification we're proud to have a protected label. proof if everyone was needed to that and be left as barack it says something that's worth making a song and dance of bios. and that's it for me and the business here and berlin for more business news and features you can always visit a dot com slash business or follow us on facebook and on twitter all leave you know with this quick check on global markets i'm sure nelda milan in berlin thanks for watching.
