no i want to meet those women back home who are bones by their duties and social norms and informed and accorded be surprised. my name is the about of the hook and a war that. the u.s. federal aviation authority bans airlines from flying over something wrong controlled airspace as tensions between washington and tehran brought high. also evil leaders expend sanctions on russia but the visions were made over a russian gas pipeline project to europe. to the shores of sustainability a crucial company tries to cut down on plastic waste but it's not enough. this

is the w business i'm. the us federal aviation administration has issued an emergency order prohibiting u.s. operators from flying in parts of iranian airspace the regulator put the ban in place and response to heightened tensions after iran shot down a high altitude american surveillance drone that prevents u.s. civil aircraft from fly over the strait of hormuz and gulf of oman united airlines said that following a safety review it had suspended flights between new jersey's newark airport and the indian financial capital of by the root causes directly over the gulf of oman. our markets correspondent joins us now now daniel it's not just u.s. operators that have been avoiding parts of iranian airspace since that announcement was made we've heard from some others. yeah exactly we're getting reactions also from other carriers as well malaysian airlines the australian airline quanta as

a single poor airlines and also carol am of the neverland saying they were rerouting flights to avoid the area all of this was happening as you mentioned when that united flight was even suspended so it really seems to be a case that the airlines are taking all of this very serious right now and have you seen any kind of reaction on the markets. well i can tell you that investors are monitoring all of the situation very closely in that they are warriors that the conflict between iran and the united states could escalate and military escalation between the 2 nations would certainly mean a huge impact for the stock market around the world while markets in asia where in the red this morning the blue chip and the exact you can see it in the background still in the green zone right now with about 30 points also the oil prices slightly up at the moment but investors they also know that the u.s. president trump that he wants to be reelected and a war with iran would poori mean hundreds maybe even thousands of soldiers being

killed on both fronts and certainly falling shares on wall street all of this would be considered as very negative by possible voters of the u.s. president and mr trump we saw it this week is back on the campaign trail so many here have also doubt that at the end something as serious like a war between iran and the united states at the end what really happened. there from frankfurt talking about the market reaction that it heightened tensions between washington and tehran thank you very much. the u.s. and canada are burying the hatchet at least when it comes to free trade after months of a rocky relationship between u.s. president donald trump and canadian prime minister just introduced they presented a united front in pushing a still on ratified the north american free trade deal. time heals apparently just a year ago u.s. president donald trump described his canadian counterpart is very dishonest and

weak now he's full of praise the 2 have agreed that canada will export rare earths to the u.s. essential for computers and military technologies that will make the us less dependent on china president xi jinping recently hinted he would use his country's dominant position in the rare earth sector as leverage in the trade dispute with the u.s. something justin trudeau is well aware of. we discussed some of the challenges that china is presenting not just to canada but to different sectors of the global economy and we certainly agree that we will continue to work together as friends and allies to to resolve these other issues the new north american free trade agreement is taking shape on thursday mexico became the 1st country to sign the u.s. m.c.a. . the us congress has yet to approve it as does the canadian government.

bank of england governor mark carney says britain will be subject to e.u. trade tariffs and the event of a new deal brags that that's in response to comments by boris johnson who was leading the race to become britain's new prime minister that world trade rules would allow trade to continue on change between britain and the e.u. even and then no deal situation carney says that would only apply if a trade deal were already in place or about to be in place both johnson and fellow contender jeremy. jeremy hunt excuse me will take britain out of the without it if necessary. european union leaders have extended punishing economic sanctions against russia for another 6 months the sanctions include curbs on russia's valuable oil business as well as defense and. the bloc 1st put sanctions

on russia after moscow from ukraine in march 24th team that is now applying pressure as it demands russian cooperation in the trial of 3 russians and one ukrainian accused of shooting dolly a malaysian passenger plane in training in that year all 298 passengers were killed . leaders however are not united in all matters russia the nord stream to pipeline project to ship gas from russia under the belt succeed to germany has put berlin at odds with eastern europe and the us who worry about moscow tightening its hold on europe russian state media reported earlier this week that the pipeline is nearly 60 percent complete. construction is a ready well underway and if all goes to plan the north stream 2 pipeline will be completed by the end of this year it will cover a distance of 1200 kilometers and to set to run parallel to an existing pipeline

north stream one the new rouge expected to transport some 55000000000 cubic meters of gas from russia germany each year the pipeline means russia could meet more than half of germany's demand for gas opponents of the project say europe will become overly dependent on moscow to meet its energy needs. among the biggest critics is u.s. president donald trump who has threatened to impose sanctions on companies involved in the project. one country that's yet to give north stream to the final go ahead is denmark something that analysts attribute to lobbying from washington and it's not just geopolitical issues at play profits are also a factor the u.s. is keen to increase sales of liquefied natural gas to germany but a lack of terminals for gas tankers is an obstacle the closest ones are in zebra go off the coast of belgium rotterdam in the netherlands and we know to in poland in

germany plans are in the works to install terminals and. start to talk and as well as a shortage of infrastructure there's the premium cost of american fuel buying gas from the us instead of from russia would cost germany an additional $4000000000.00 a year according to some estimates earlier today i spoke to claudia comfort professor of energy economics and sustainability at the german institute for economic research i asked her if u.s. liquefied natural gas is a real alternative to russian gas or if it's simply too expensive. u.s. and energy is very expensive it's very high and this is why it's not really an eternity of n.g. is an option to germany as well we always recommend it to increase the l.n.g. infrastructure in the past already instead of those pipelines which are very

expensive and the gas demand will decline in the future so we don't need these kind of pipelines but we. export. fracking also environmentalists questionable and this is why we should also import and energy from other sources. ships and sustainability the 2 rarely go hand in hand but now one of germany's leading operators to e is trying to shake that image and bring about something the sea change but critics say more has to be done. mind shift is soon to embark on a voyage to the united kingdom the cruise ship is owned and operated by travel group to eat food supplies for some 2 and a half 1000 passengers are being loaded on board some of it comes loose but much is wrapped in plastic. the company is taking some steps to cut down

on plastic waste environment officer ryan has installed refillable dispenses in the cabins to replace plastic bottles of shampoo and shower gel forms you know you can refill your trap and change that $380000.00 fewer plastic bottles a year every little step that we do you know every little step adds up specially in a big picture for us you know we're not shopping one ship we're also operating 7 ships in the future even more and every thing we can do every little step we can do is really adding up day to day week by week month to month into a big footprint if you have. to e has committed to a further reduction in single use plastic waste by next year including replacing plastic straws with paper ones. and most passengers welcome the move through the sincere which. i think is very good i'm already trying to cut down

on plastic at home it's handy to do it large scale like this i think it's great for this. special one and i would be good if everyone took a moment to think it's terrible when people just check their plastic and paper bags there's something a bit missing in people who do that and here's much more of the city but the environment officer concedes that producing plastic waste is not a cruise ships primary environmental sin we try to control every possible way stream so we're looking not just at solid emissions not just our plastics we're also looking at fuel efficiency we're looking at waste water we're looking exhaust gases so it's there's several different ways. not just one thing and we're all the goal is to reduce everything as much as possible it's still difficult of course we're still making emissions are still there's still more things john prove as part of that multipronged approach to limit environmental damage to uses so called scrubbers a kind of filter to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides environmentalists

say that doesn't diminish the fact that cruise ships a major polluter is still too he is hoping that its efforts to reduce both plastic waste and emissions will persuade people that it is taking environmental concerns on board. and that's it for me and the d.w. business team here in berlin for more business news that allows analysis check out the w dot com slash business thank you very much for watching.
