i think was good for them but they took them off yeah i think it was a i think it was a gesture ok it was a big move people were shocked i was in shock well for more let's bring in court on wall street. mr frum says these chinese suspension of certain terrorists on u.s. imports is a gesture what's the impact of the. the impact is not that huge at this point and as you mentioned we are talking 6 thing product groups over all china have tariffs on u.s. imports for more than 5000 different product groups so this is at this point only a small gesture and even if wall street did trade to the upside we are above the crucial $25.00 point mark again with the dow jones industrial average but that is probably not because of those recent developments in the trade dispute but what
5:19 am
we're seeing here is a shift from one sector into another optimism about a possible deal between the united states and china has been on the rise recently and even though this exemption of terrorists appears to be largely a symbolic move there's a ball stir this optimism well i mean what we see overall is it's not just about tariffs when we look at china and the united states we are also looking for the protection of intellectual property we're looking that the u.s. government wants an easier access for us companies into the chinese market so those issues might even be more crucial than the tariffs themselves so it is a tiny little step now the extension of some of those products but it's wide open what happens when the trade talks continue or early next month china suspends some

a backdrop achieving meaningful economic growth has been hugely difficult for the country's weak un backed government. nonetheless the world bank's latest report brings some hope that the country is achieving some kind of economic stability it expects growth to reach 3.5 percent in somalia in the medium term however the i.m.f. warned earlier this year as well somalia's economy is on the right track and remains vulnerable due to poverty climate change and terrorism. who needs to all in a car that's a growing question and big cities where public transportation and ring services are often widespread and younger people typically more concerned about their carbon footprint now we send one such car skeptic our own mile to over come on to the frankfurt motor show to see if he could be convinced to finally get behind the wheel. of almost 30 and i've never owned a car and why would i. living in berlin means i can get anywhere pretty much any

time by bus or train. and if i do need a car i can just rent one through cost sharing service i'm perfectly fine without my own car. i'm not alone with this one 3rd of young german city dwellers say a car is important to them and i'm wondering what is the car industry going to do about that. well what better place to find out than at a motor show at the i a in frankfurt major car companies from all over the world a showcasing their latest models one of them is opal the brand my parents have driven since i was a kid trying to reach young urban customers with the course eat a new electrically powered version of an old classic. and. when i look at you i think that driving enjoyment is something that can get you excited electric

cars are a lot of fun and if you go into the bakery or the butcher or wherever and you don't emit any c o 2 and that's very appealing but he. says endless understood. ok that does sound nice but not 30000 euro nice if you ask me even if so-called you can clock his and dossing the car. but why are comical struggling to win over people like me i meet up with a market analyst and ask him. people tend not to have drives anymore you know them i have an apartment in my i have a shared carriage you know but i think it's that that sort of idea of having the pride enjoy parts on your drive is becoming less appealing and less relevancy on people and that is a difficult conundrum for the car makers to to to work out. how makers are trying to adapt to what young people want smart which belongs to miss sadie's for example developed an app 3 you can share your own car with friends and family but again.
5:27 am
that alone is not really going to sway me into spending 20000 euros on a car that i really don't need. in american does god a young women or just that young people when a car isn't available and then once they've taken on certain obligations they start asking themselves when she caught on could make sense for me if i could come to vegas auto condon's in mom for me. maybe i will get to that stage one day but for the moment i'll remain colace and maybe that is for the best. and they'd look like the driving skills of my 2 year old all the rest of our show on chris colfer and roland thanks for watching see him back in.
