they call the 1st stage of a new trade deal to pass powerful carlo b. says it's incomplete the car makers want more support from the government offer to merge the deal kept existing all tariffs unchanged. japanese car companies welcomed the overall thrust of a trade deal signed between prime minister shinzo abbey and u.s. president donald trump the deal keeps also tariffs to 2.5 percent and the u.s. promises no more for now but the carmakers say their industry is suffering they want to do way with the tariffs altogether. so he has the auto industry is facing many challenges amidst uncertainty like the japanese yen appreciation and the upcoming sales tax. we hope the government of japan recognizes this and not for as i was farther support to help the auto sector grew as a strategic industry. negotiations have been going on since last year

trump has long complained about america's $68000000000.00 trade deficit with japan the world's 3rd largest economy cars are the biggest source of the trade deficit. trump has not yet followed through on his threat to impose tariffs of up to 25 percent on japanese and european car and parts imports citing ongoing trade negotiations. while earlier this week well leaders were debating action against climate change in new york china unveiled the 2nd biggest in the world air travel is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and china doesn't show any signs it's willing to cut their the country's carbon dioxide output as other countries worry it let's have a closer look at that china is already the world leader in c o 2 production production with just under 10000000 tonnes a year that's almost a 3rd of all global manmade c o 2 each year the u.s.

comes in at number to produce in just over half as much in absolute numbers followed by the whole of the european union in a fist. it's a different picture though if you compare these countries per capita emissions an average american produces the most c o 2 with 16 tons of russians surprisingly come in on the number 2 spot with 12 tons and e.u. residents shouldn't be too smug either we produce just as much as chinese citizens for roughly 7 tons. but there's little sign of all this troubling beijing on wednesday chinese president xi jinping cut the ribbon for beijing's $60000000000.00 ford does ng is ready to serve $45000000.00 passengers per year to set its ban to capacity of over 70000000 with 4 runways and nearly 300 gates. clearly shows that for china economic expansion seems to come before climate

protection how much sense does it make if we all reduce our as well let's bring in our live sound of eisenstein he's with the 3 g. an independent climate change think tank here in berlin it son. germany produces just 2 percent of global c o 2 just introduced stricter climate regulation. china opens a new make up order how much sense does all these well intentioned climate action of countries like germany make if we're leading c o 2 emissions like like china obviously don't. it's a question i guess there's 2 sides of this story a china has a message because on the crew from beijing they're talking about a city of more than 20000000000 inhabitants 1000000 have a 11400000000 inhabitants in china rising middle class of course there's a high demand we have a growth rate in every nation of 6 percent a year so it's in a way a restful project for china on the other hand go back and see in china is

a lot of climate action it's the largest manufacturer of so that p.v. for example and the wind and solar already quite cheap so i guess they should both sides while they are moving in some sectors that he ended up moving in that is and that's the big challenge on germany i would all this is you know that they producing lots of solar panels does it somehow offset their c o 2 emissions so it doesn't it doesn't i mean and then meeting the targets of the targets they have 420202030 or beastly to lou for the paris climate agreement so i guess for the next year is the big challenge is to cooperate with china there's a big cruel for the e.u. to play a role model showing how this works cooperating with china being more vicious on both sides and that's what we're hearing from twenty's officials we want to see a lot of ambition from the e.u. the louve as well well being a role model is interesting discussion going on because many people say yes we must be a germany's must be a role model but others say the street climate regulation will hurt the economy how

much of a role model will we be as germans if a car industry goes down because we introduced climate legislation i actually see the other way around i think germany has to move on time and action to remain competitive. yes the big question for the german coal industry do we still sell of course in 10 or 15 years and there will probably more be ecologists than the course we're having right now so for germany i think it's quite rest no from a competitiveness point of view to move right now. how it will be german british abo mexican car owners ever be convinced to scrap their diesels to do their bit while others do nothing well they give them out on the street i'm talking about that definitely management i think that they should be having or not it's not that germany is doing its homework i mean we have this kind of package but it's by far not enough so this perception that germany is moving while others are moving out is just not true how much climate protection is economically viable so their recent numbers fight o.e.c.d.

basically showing that the net effect on g.d.p. of ambitious climate action is positive in most she 20 countries i think it's 18 out of 20 so it is rest you know the issue is less about the economic case i would say that some sectors are heavily affected of course the coal sector will disappear well others will benefit if major across sectors like energy efficiency or nubile energy immobility so these are the opportunity sectors i guess the issue is how do we have managed to kill off for example coal how do we manage the transition of the car industry. do you think that china in the very near term. and everybody says it's high time that we reduce c o 2 emissions in the very near term will put climate protection before growth. what makes me optimistic is that it's not only a moral question for china there's also a lot of national interest they do already have very high economic costs because of

climate change the major issues aren't air pollution around decide if occasion for example so they have good reasons to move and next year is actually quite important to you china summits. both hopefully try to work together to work towards a more ambitious term of policies alexander thank you very much because it is not. and now to some of the other global business stories making headlines today chinese firms have ordered considerable amounts of u.s. pork and soybeans in a sign of a potential breakthrough in the long running trade war for more than a year the 2 sides have been slapping each other with tariffs. leading the cigarette maker jewel labs has announced a change in leadership and pledge to suspend advertising in the u.s. after recent regulatory backlash it follows the deaths of 9 people from mr mr a long illness mostly linked to illegal black market culture just containing t.h.c.

the primary active ingredient in mario on. the international monetary fund has picked crystal given to the organization the economist from bulgaria is due to start a 5 year term on october 1st she said the top priority is to help countries many minds of risk and be ready to cope with downturns while supporting long term economic stability. but all discussions about climate change one thing becomes increasingly clear not only must c o 2 emissions drop we also tried to capture c o 2 that we've already released into the at the simplest way plant more trees millions of them but people who know a thing or 2 about trees us actually saying it's not that easy. until it's possible to measure the health of a tree how many leaves are needles that sheds is one indicator there are 600

douglas firs in this forest east of one of the trees originally from north america and the development is being closely studied. but this leg of a cloak is there a long dry spell as let's say 6 weeks without rain 6 weeks of drought in the trees shrink they don't grow they shrink and the wood starts to contract. the douglas firs have small slit like openings in their bark they close when it's dry in order to stop the tree from drying out. they help the tree retain its moisture it's an adaptation to the dry climate that the trees evolved in. and. we don't see any problems in this area. if the trees are growing even during the dry spell. the tree tops also look healthy so we can say they're dealing well with the dryness. it's

a very different picture 150 kilometers to the south. recent droughts have destroyed 110 hector's of forest land. and that's created a new problem for forest owners and rangers alike. the invasive bark beetle is spreading fast they burrow their way into the tree trunks if the trees aren't quickly cut down the beetle spread in danger in whole forests forest managers have to cut down huge swaths of forest land. we need to speed up our replanting efforts webbing that's a mix of as many different types of tree as possible will allow us to better manage the risks. recently they've begun adding trees from the mediterranean region or southeast asia to the mix they're used to the warmer conditions. but scientists warn beating the heat isn't the only problem. there are still risks if we introduced trees like these to germany then they could

thrive during the warmer months so they have to cope with late frosts that have the potential to greatly harm them. just giving it a try and seen what happens isn't a viable solution and once it's and importing new tree species is expensive. a single kilogram of douglas fir tree seeds cost $1200.00 euros but it's a worthwhile investment douglas firs have shown that there are a good fit for germany's forests. and that's foamy other business as a team for business news check out a website that's called business. orderless
