he took part in the greatest adventure in history. the hero the legend was simply a human being. was new armstrong starts july 20th on t.w. . south korea runs through allies the united states for help in its export round with japan but u.s. president told trump is much better friends with japan's leadership the. irish farmers have got a real beef with a trade deal between the e.u. and south america say it will kill their livelihoods. and from the road to rail the swedes showed how trucks can be made so much more environmentally friendly. and

then fizzle and let's do business another front widens in the global trade war south korea is seeking help from the united states in its dispute with japan the japanese government has imposed export restrictions on some south korean bound products off the so called on tokyo to compensate forced labor is from the 2nd world war speaking to us secretary of state michael peo south korea's foreign minister said the trade curbs were undesirable and would hurt tech firms across the world materials affected a key to making memory chips and smartphone displays in south korea which supplies from seumas around the globe with devices. chelsea delaney joins us from frankfurt now chelsea will consumers have to stop worrying about getting their hands on a spot for it any time sir. yeah i mean that's definitely something that people need to be thinking about you know these these products that japan is restricting care are crucial to basically every consumer electronic we have today so you

mentioned smartphones but also tv's tablets laptops really everything and so there are also the other problem here is that there aren't a lot of of other places for south korea to source these products so japan basically has a 90 percent domination on some of these chemicals and other products and there's really nowhere else for companies like samsung to go for them so they have. stockpiles and they say it could last a couple months but you know we are facing probably disruptions here everyone seems these days to needed want a smartphone and they what it right away as well as quick to rates which brings up the prospect of these 5 g. network which is meant to roll out soon i mean could they be disrupted by this trade. right and i think that's the main concern for europe here. you know europe

has been really lagging behind and 5 g. adoption they've been a lot slower than places like asia and the u.s. to roll out 5 g. and they're really just now getting started and they need a lot of semiconductors they need all this technology that could now be you know threatened here and it's not just smartphones you know high powered smartphones that we're talking about it's also sort of connected factories we're talking about automated driving you know all sorts of things that are supposed to be a foundation for you know the european economy going forward chelsea lately for us in frankfurt thank you. the french parliament could approve a tax on take giants today it could open yet another front in the global trade war leading to u.s. taxes on french imports all trump is ordered visitation into the plan tax the french finance minister says

a 3 percent tax on the french revenue of some 30 large internet companies could yield as much as half a 1000000000 euros a year the companies are mostly american but also chinese german spanish and british. in dublin hundreds of irish b. farmers have marched on palm and they say an e.u. trade deal with south america will gut their industry the pact is 20 years in the making it has provoked a backlash that imperils its ratification by the bloke's member states. irish farmers turned out on mess outside parliament to put the boot in they fear that the e.u. mercosur deal will destroy their industries. the big problem we have us farmers is the double speak with indeed you. they they have restrictions on farmers environmental restrictions on farmers all around europe and we have to farm in an environmental way. and then suddenly they will do it you would have countries that absolutely floats. part of the deal in coles opening e.u.

markets so $99000.00 tons of south american beef every year. we're not here to take this step this one and they're talking about bringing down the price of beef by flooding the market with cheap markets like reading was that what you want in ireland and other european countries like france farmers are the predominant voice against the you marcus or agreement in particular its controversial agricultural quotas however brussels says the pact with the south american bloc will save european companies over $4000000000.00 euros in tariffs every year. ryan air is worried about the exchanges some of flight schedule if boeing doesn't seem to live at the 737 max aircraft audit a low budget airline could only take delivery of a handful of planes a month due to the complexity of the process the groundings of the passenger jet could cause a backlog if the liveries joint resumed by november that it's still addressing

safety concerns with the plane software of the 2 fatal crashes. german weapons exports are on the rise again bolin has already approved dom's exports this year both $5300000000.00 euros and small than all of last year it's an abrupt change after years of declining weapon sales and rebuy is the most weapons from germany egypt and the united arab emirates are also big customers they've both faced criticism for their role. in the human civil war. chinese auto sales a reeling from the slowing economy edge u.s. china trade row they fell close to 8 percent last month as buyers hold off making big purchases germany's b.m.w. and porsche it managed to buck the trend and trump's tariff rates haven't hit the coverage ality for because of the downward trend continues it started last year of the decade of growing sales it's bad timing for the automatic factors that are in this behavior the electric vehicles. of

a 2 hour time correspondent. so so is the trade war all the fact that the chinese economy was already slowing down it faulty yeah the trade war highlights the nomic downturn and the lack of investment confidence really a fact the main car buyers that is the middle income group in china's most cities and if we look at the reason why they thought buying cars and interesting factor comes up experts found that that the client in china's sells maybe due to the rise in housing prices in the small cities so the middle income group they save only enough to buy houses 1st and postpone their car purchase plan and more if we look at g.d.p. and per capita car sales in top 25 car markets we can fire that china's number is added to a higher due to its rapid economic growth and now it's only slowly coming back to

normal again so households are feeling the pinch can can global automakers no longer rely on the world's biggest car market for the basically the lion's share of their profits in many cases. it really depends on which car makers you're talking about if we look at the whole chinese car market sells is going down but overall domestic and imported luxury car market increased by 13 percent and ultra luxury brands like band lee ferrari and lemberg amy even increased by 37 percent so the rich are buying more cars as for the common brand they really have to find a niche market that is for them to for example selling as u.v. or economic coal car types to 1st time buyer and more personalized models to people who already have cars same thing for b.m.w. and porter as i mentioned it's all about status in china what about ecology could

they spark a revenue. to understand this we have to talk about china's new stricker emission rule less launched on july 1st china now requires most vehicles to meet that standard and we know now 5 percent of china has cars i.e. cars and beijing plans for a car to make up 20 percent of its old vehicles by 2025 so it seems to be a big market very good business but we have to understand 95 percent of the car market are controlled by national car makers foreign car makers has not been able to make inroads in the market so thank you very much for giving us the lowdown on those low cost so thank you very much images like this of massive trucks might not be what you think of when you think of protecting the environment the research is in sweden beg to differ it working on

a new system that will help long haul truckers slash their emissions but they'll need the help to do it. the main problem with electric drive trucks is that their range is just far too low researchers near stockholm might have an answer they've developed the world's 1st test road for rail based electric trucks. the truck gets its electricity from this trial in future this electricity would come from renewable sources it's a cost effective and simple system forward at the old bucket of. the truck can also disconnect from the rail and run on battery in a normal electric truck the battery would usually weigh tons for long distances with the swedish system it's small and lightweight but while scandinavia is making huge leaps in electro move. germany is still a stronghold of diesel. of all trucks registered in germany in 2017 well over 99 percent were diesel vehicles only

a 30th of one percent were electric. often berg and sweden is also paving the way electric trucks are now used there to collect the city's trash sweden wants to reduce its c o 2 emissions by 20 percent by 2035 the view we want to be one of the 1st to fossil fuel free industrialized countries in the world so we're focusing on the transport sector to show that it can work we can tell the rest of the world look all of this is possible. it's one thing for sweden to convert its motorways between stockholm goffin bergen mon the but to roll the system out across europe there would need to be a common standard for electric trucks. it all be fantastic to have a standard or a system across europe but the e.u. would have a big part to play brussels has yet to make concrete strict targets for electra mobility sweden says it wants to ban combustion engines in new vehicles by 2030.
