i have you with us and we're starting with saudi arabians soybeans like the ones you see behind me help feed the world but they could also be a sign of trouble on the horizon china is said to stockpile around 7000000 tons of american produced soybeans according to media reports and they were purchased as part of a truce in the trade conflict between beijing and washington last december normally they'd be used to feed chinese livestock traders say china aims to store the soybeans a move that could mean that beijing is fucking down for a drawn out conflict with washington. all right china stockpiling soybeans is this a sign that it is also preparing for a protracted trade war with the united states let's hear listen to water the financial world in europe is thinking about conduct was and joins me now at the franklin stock exchange come up to use think that this could mean that china isn't

too optimistic about this trade war to be resolved any time soon. you know more because there is a lot of room of speculation here this is a very entranced bear market and china is not slowing out a lot of data about you know import volumes about stock planning or piling planning . but of course that's what you can hear from people in commodities trading their reading is that of course this stockpiling of soybeans instant china is a sign that china is getting prepared for a long trade spat the next oil harvest in the united states is an october assault by stockpiling sawing now china can make sure to become less independent from its american suppliers in the fall and well let's not forget china is importing much less from the united states than the united states is importing from china so every item every little good currency here. is

a little bit of breathing space for beijing there asian stocks of course have been trading lower and most recently also tech stocks so there's a good reason for it don't go anywhere because you as authorities may be preparing investigations into anti-competitive behavior of leading tech companies the wall street journal says the federal trade commission will need any antitrust probes into facebook while the justice department would examine google president donald trump has repeatedly accused media platforms of bias and censorship and there i would like to get back to our financial market correspondent susan who is still with us hopefully in a frank 3rd today you are going odds are against it what are we looking at here this sounds strangely familiar is washington now imitating brussels in its stance on tech giants. it's too early to say right now whether or not those investigations in the united states will really end up in huge fines like they did

here in the european union for example in the case against school but what's striking here is that those allegations in the united states at the moment are really coming from many different political sides you have all the one hand the trump administration but on the other hand you have congress with politicians from both sides of the aisle you know republicans and democrats ramping up their rhetoric against the silicon valley firms and that of course has to do with the presidential election in the united states next year already now it looks like everyone is pretty much in campaign mode. and of course this makes many people on the market suspect that the rhetoric against silicon valley will get fierce and stronger and more negative that's very difficult for investors to reckon with absolutely that creates ripples across global stock markets comment was in fact that thank you so much. well leaving the looming antitrust probe aside it's

business as usual for apple apart from the fact perhaps that there were no dazzling new products to while the taking is gathered at apple's developers conference instead the tech giant announced a raft of updates to the operating systems run the i phone i pad apple watch and back. apple's a new will w w d c gathering in san jose is monitored with almost religious intensity by the developers and founds of the tech colossus. as one of the world's most valuable companies it's also keenly watched by investors who hope apple services business will boost revenues and profits a sales of its signature i phone decline. this year the focus was on media content and services rather than technology and hardware innovation. apple also bade farewell to one of its signature products the i choose music download service. the future of our music our i can not want to

a discussion with business leaders from both sides of the atlantic significant anti trump rallies taking shape while parts of london are on security lockdown donald trump is also meeting with c.e.o.'s from u.s. and u.k. companies with the ongoing uncertainty over bricks and british businesses are hoping to cement transatlantic ties. he came he saw. he tweeted. big trade deal is possible once the u.k. gets rid of the shackles already starting to talk the u.s. president rose as he prepared to meet u.s. and u.k. business leaders in london. the shackles he is referring to. britain's drawn out process of leaving the european union. but is the promise of a big trade deal with the u.s. anough to offset the potential chaos the u.k. could face if it leaves the e.u. without a deal the relative size of the u.k.'s trade relationship suggests it may not be.

in 2017 the u.k. imported 11 percent of its goods from the u.s. compare that to well over half from the european union while 18 percent of british exports went to the u.s. a far larger 45 percent went to the e.u. . that said as the u.k. braces for a future outside the bloc securing solid trade ties with other major partners is becoming an ever greater priority of the german government is under fire from business leaders for damaging industry the president of the federation of german industries told chancellor merkel was attending its annual meeting in the lynn today that corporate taxes with too high that industry was having to pay the biggest electricity bills in europe and he demanded

a change of course. there was nothing veiled about the criticism germany's biggest business model that the government among its biggest gripes a perceived reluctance to move with the times. is a good government has maintained the status quo and likes to talk about how good the economy is right now but looking into the rearview mirror it's not a good foundation for moving forward. the government coalition and i want to make this very clear has lost a great deal of the trust and confidence we put into it. sherman businesses complain that the country is lagging behind in digital infrastructure many c.e.o.'s also be mown the rising cost of energy which they attribute to a flawed climate change policy. all that perhaps food for thought for german chancellor angela merkel on the issue of eroding trust she gave back as good as she

got even though my often was like to once again point out that this government has been in office for a year and 3 months i could talk about how many hours are spent focusing on the loss of trust in the german auto industry and the breaking up through its i don't want to do that now. let me just say we have a common responsibility to get mines on the front. but with the future of germany's government looking particularly uncertain just how that common responsibility will look like in the future it's anybody's guess. to india now which is one of the world's fastest developing economies but economic progress comes at a cost many other countries urban areas a drowning in rubbish new delhi's landfill has become a trash bound $101.00 that could soon top the country's famous.
