the end of the trading week sees markets a little worse for wear amid fading hopes of a speedy resolution to the u.s. china trade war. also coming up planted by costly litigation over round up a buyer announces a 5000000000 euro investment in and killer but can it outrun its ghost. and tourism brings together and it's in the demilitarized zone between the 2 koreas . this is the way of business. and in berlin welcome u.s. equities dropped on friday led by shares in chip makers hit by the u.s. china trade war sector heavyweight broadcom for one has cut its revenue forecast by $2000000000.00 chip makers of both source and sell heavily in china but they're not the only ones complaining more than 600 companies have sent a letter to president donald trump calling for him to end the tariff saying they

hurt american businesses and consumers. joins us now from wall street there you are young it's good to see you he ends how we had any reaction from the white house to this letter. well i have not seen the no official response from the white house but there has been a group from the business roundtable led by jamie diamond the head of the biggest u.s. bank j.p. morgan meeting with the president on friday but the topic was partly about not so much china a bit more what happens to the free trade agreement with canada and to mexico and so the businessmen they were pushing hard at the president are dragging to make a case how dangerous it would be to impose tariffs for example mexico is that this would really be hurtful to the u.s. economy when it comes to china the u.s.

president does not seem to be in any rush to get a deal done and here we have 2 topics on the table one question is will the terrorists that are already in place be dialed back if there should be a deal with china and the other question is if there might be even a new terrorist but we will have to wait and see till the g. 20 meeting at the end of the month so how this story develops but that's not the only thing that markets are waiting for of course next week also promises to be a big week for the markets but all eyes on the federal reserve what do you think is expected. yes on wednesday we will get the answer if the federal reserve seems to be ready at least for interest rate cut this cut itself will probably not have been next week but the federal reserve could change the wording and the phrase patient and if they do that was their protocol that actually would clear the way for a possible rate cut by end of july here on friday u.s.

president donald trump once again criticized the federal reserve saying without your own paul and the interest rate increases that we've specially seen in the past year the dow jones industrial average would be at $10000.00 points higher whatever the argument here the reason why wall street is still pretty much on trick is the hope for interest rate cut pretty soon even if we traded to the downside slightly here on friday for the week actually it was an up week and it was the 2nd consecutive positive week here on wall street the said remains under pressure to cut the key interest rate a ends quarter there on wall street for us thank you. and to another front of the trade conflict we mentioned earlier india is planning to impose a retaliatory tariffs on over 20 products imported from the u.s. it's a response to washington's decision to withdraw preferential trade treatment for

india earlier this month it's expected extra levies will be placed on american elements walnuts and apples among other things a source within the indian commerce ministry has been quoted as saying the us will take a hit of around 2 $120000000.00 as a result the white house has warned that the imposition of higher tariffs by india could break world trade organization rules. german drugs and chemicals company buyer has launched a p.r. offensive to counter the growing criticism over its we kill or round up and the controversial key ingredient glyphosate which is said to cause cancer roundup was a top seller of u.s. agro chemical company monsanto and and now belongs to buyer after $63000000000.00 merger last year. buyer is making headlines once again following talks with politicians shareholders and environmental activists the company has conceded that it must make changes they promise to invest 5000000000 euros in research over the

fuel in this case we are producing make that known you can also produce. any liquid. so is this the answer to everything well not really in the end it always comes down to money. when we don't need the production capacity of our power plants are still very limited that we can't make more than 100000000 each of the day and that makes the process very expensive. but this is only a demonstration unit in spain they've built a bigger reactor to test if the procedure is feasible. he said. saying this soda reactor is 10 times bigger than the one at the e.t.h. syrup i mean. this proves that our solar technology is scalable. but that's me though it could be this means that we can make it bigger and eventually lead me on an industrial scale and russian. scientists say

a tourism plan that was agreed to as an intern korean summers in pyongyang last year. the meeting spurred hopes of a thaw in political and economic ties between the 2 countries. but for walkers the signs of simmering tension are impossible to miss for many this stretch is a poignant reminder of the distance they still are from peace. although it's a short distance i feel touched as i walk along the trail intercranial relations were getting better but now they have stalled again i hope that their reinvigorated so that we get to travel between the 2 countries freely. looming in the distance and emblem of what such freedom could enable. north korea's. summer pending a breakthrough in relations hikers from both koreas might one day scale together.
