last store. but have to do that the business i want to get jones and berlin good to have you with us so is italy in breach of european budget rules that is the question european regulators are expected to answer with yes later today the move could result in the e.u. imposing financial sanctions on the country the dispute centers on italy's mounting public debt at present the sum the government owes is worth 132 percent of the country's total economic output and that figure is expected to rise to 135 percent next year that is a thorn in the side of the e.u. under its rules member states can only hold a debt of up to 60 percent of g.d.p. so a showdown with the e.u. would put further pressure on italy's fragile coalition government which is already under pressure to deliver on expensive election promises and for more let's cross over to the sunda in brussels max good to see you so 1st of all.

is it likely that the e.u. . may to give rome a 2nd chance and not impose sanctions while monica according to several reports of the e.u. commission is likely to go ahead with the deficit procedure later today at the weekly meeting of e.u. commissions that's happening right now here in brussels and this was likely to be this or this would be the 1st of several steps in a long and complicated process that in theory in the end could end with hefty sanctions for italy however the decision to to sanction italy or to open formally open the deficit procedure would not be taken by the commission today this will be only a suggestion and it will be taken to the european council next month where finance ministers of the e.u. member states will have their final say on whether or not to go ahead with the

procedure this could in the end end with a hefty fine but it's very unlikely that this will happen back in 201124 out of 28 member states were actually undergoing a deficit procedure and none of them got fined and in fact spain is the only country in the u. that is still on the list and it's likely to be taken off at the same meeting later today so deficit procedure yes very likely fine in the end not so much but that doesn't really then put an awful lot of pressure on rome which certainly when you look at the deputy prime minister vini isn't keen on reducing the budget deficit anyway but rather expects the e.u. to loosen its fiscal rules how likely is that. well brussels has said very clearly to italy that italy has to get rid of their deficit. as soon as possible but italy's actually doing the exact opposite right now. after

the pretty good outcome in the european elections for the league party for materials holding his lead party he's actually called for increased spending and for lowering income tax in fact kept capping it at 15 percent now this is very likely to lead to a further increase of national debt in italy and e.u. commissioner muscovy she said if italy disrespects the rules the you will have to take responsibility in the e.u. and the e.u. member states will have to take responsibility so quite clear words from their all right max under their reporting for us from brussels where the e.u. commission is expected to decide on the italian budget deficit later today and i thank you so much. and of course italian budget worries will also be among the issues dominating discussions when european central bank governors meet on thursday

to discuss measures to boost the economy more details are expected on a 3rd round of new dance less pressure to act is big enough to inflation fell last month to 1.2 percent and that is way short of the band's 2 percent audience. meanwhile the world bank has slashed its global growth forecasts for this year the latest global economic prospects report shows the world economy is expected to expand by 2.6 percent this year and that is down from its january forecast the report sounded the alarm of the u.s. trade was tumbling confidence and increasingly skittish investment the bank said even for a modest recovery a lot will have to go right instead of the growing risks suggest the outlook could yet to an even dhaka. and speaking of the demand could this be the latest move in the us china trade war beijing has issued a travel warning for the united states saying chinese citizens should fully assess

the risks of traveling to the u.s. given recent shootings the warning comes a stray tensions between the world's 2 biggest economies. on monday beijing warned chinese students of risks associated with studying in the u.s. now it's talking of chinese citizens being harassed by u.s. immigration officers while entering the country china's foreign ministry also accuses the u.s. of waging economic war against china to prevent its rise to power it says washington has constantly changed demands and made reckless allegations over the weekend beijing signaled a willingness to negotiate but stressed a did not fear a trade war with the u.s. it is a complete twisting and fabrication of the truth for the u.s. to accuse china of going back on its straight talk commitments both sides of pummeled each other with hundreds of billions of dollars in punitive tariffs the u.s. has also blacklisted china's telecoms champion hallway beijing responded by announcing

its own intention to make a list of foreign companies which it considers quote unreliable it also threaten to limit access to its rare earth exports china is the world's largest exporter of the minerals essential for making smart phones t.v.'s and other high tech products. of a more let's bring in our financial markets responded boson and there he is this trade spat trade war keep 30 going on you dimensions now beijing issuing a travel warning how worried should the u.s. be. well i think this is really worrying a piece of news not so much because you know tourism from china would be a very important factor for the economy in the u.s. but this illustrates that the conflict between china and the us is not limited to some unfriendly wording on the top political level it now really has arrived on the level of everyday lives we should not forget there are thousands of chinese

scientists doing research at universities in the u.s. thousands of chinese chinese citizens are studying at you as universities and this travel ban by the chinese now is really the perfect tool to aggravate the situation and you know to make it worse at least in terms of sentiment and propaganda. so it is going to be quite interesting to see u.s. secretary treasury secretary steve minucci in meeting his counterpart in china the governor of the people's bank of china this weekend at the g 20 finance leaders summit is that a chance to melt the ice. if you don't want to form a times i would have said yes institutions like the g 20 were initiated to melt the ice between nations to smoove the way how they operate together but even

if some of the members of the tribe administration sometimes come out with statements giving hope that you know the governor wants to cooperate the things that the president himself says sound very differently he permanently permanently keeps this rocketing things that is throwing sand in the works of institutions like the g. 20 all right there in frankfurt thank you so much. france's finance minister says there is no need to rush regarding a $35000000000.00 merger talks between comic is renel and chrysler in an interview . said he wanted the deal to go ahead but it was important to take the time to get to the mojo right the french government owns a 15 percent of residual stake in renault and then said it wanted guarantees over jobs having a headquarter in paris and corporate governance. but this comes as renaud and
