i'm sure that it was. a model in support. of. the degree of. the trade dispute between the u.s. and europe reaches new heights after a.w.t. old ruling washington announces fresh tariffs on aircraft and other industrial and agricultural products to punish brussels for subsidising the european plane maker era boss. employees in hong kong find themselves up with a difficult choice to make join the protests or stay employed we speak to a woman who's out of work just for supporting the movement. and guess who has

a nose for crime bill q but uses puppy power against money laundering. this is the w. business i'm on in berlin welcome washington appears to be making good on the world trade organization ruling allowing tariffs of 7 and a half $1000000000.00 on e.u. goods that's for illegally subsidizing european plane maker airbus in a 1st step the u.s. has announced a new duties on aircraft and industrial and agricultural goods it sets the stage for a further extension of what's already the world's longest and costliest trade. u.s. president donald trump isn't a fan of the world trade organization but he may have changed his mind on wednesday during a press conference with his finnish counterpart he said the w t o ruling was very good news for the u.s. efforts. beginning oct 18th washington will impose new tariffs on e.u.

goods including 10 percent on aircraft and 25 percent on other industrial and i grew cultural products. it's the latest move in an epic 15 year battle revolving around europe and its airbus on the one hand and america's boeing on the other the w.e.o. has found both the e.u. and the us guilty of paying on lawful subsidies to their respective plane makers before washington announced its response to the w t o ruling germany's chancellor was quick to highlight the gravity of the situation. nothing in between the case under world trade organization law this takes it beyond an arbitrary question to a verdict in accordance with international law which now hangs over arab us one must sadly say. we have to see how the americans will respond by this on wednesday of only conny it's the idea and see in the european union has so far made

it clear it would bring forward retaliatory tariffs if necessary they would come on top of tariffs the e.u. wants to impose on the u.s. following the w t o ruling over boeing subsidies a decision on the penalty in that case is june around 6 months time with the aerial jewels set to continue into 2020 and beyond both sides are in for the long haul. across the aisle to our financial correspondent yes quarter on wall street yes is the time to brace ourselves for a long and expensive escalation of this u.s. e.u. trade dispute it. well i mean those new tariffs are supposed to be imposed by october 18th so in a good 2 weeks but there will be a meeting between the u.s. side and the european union on october 14th so who knows if those tariffs can be averted and we're talking expensive pretty relative to 7 and

a half $1000000000.00 is a lot of money but overall 'd the european union exports the goods to the united states in the amount of almost $500000000000.00 so in that respect it's a rather small amount but clearly that could theoretically lead to an escalation of the trade tensions between the e.u. and the united states as well. now you can stay there because we have another agenda point and we're talking about the markets because frankly speaking they've seen better days and p. 500 the dow the nasdaq all headed southward on wednesday by around 2 percent respectively that's because of growing investor anxiety over economic blowback from the u.s. china trade war a week august jobs report indicated businesses becoming less eager to hire a maid slowing manufacturing growth and persistent uncertainty. and now we've seen jobs hit we've seen manufacturing hits are we going to see

a slowdown in consumer spending. well at some point. likely to have to happen and so far the labor market overall still remains pretty strong even if the job growth that we've seen basically for 9 straight years is cooling quite a bit and if you look at the numbers in the manufacturing industry we even see some signs of a recession at least in that area so far consumption is still holding up well but then again we also got the latest figures on car sales in the 3rd quarter and there are a couple of science officer cooling so there's no reason for alarm at this point but clearly we do see some hints that the economy is not growing that strong or as strong as you've seen in the past couple of years and that could very well lead to some weakness in the labor market and if we see the weakness in the labor market it

is likely that consumers will start to spend less but probably not for this holiday season we are looking towards next year when we might see this quarter ends quarter they're calling for calm and caution at the same time thank you very much. a group of leading think tanks have cut their growth forecasts for germany predicting just half a percent expansion this year and 1 point one percent next year they point to political uncertainty such as trade tensions and brags that as well as the slowing global economy the economic institutes expect growth to pick up again in 2021. now as the protests in hong kong rage on china's pressuring companies to fire staff who participated in the all calls flagship carrier cathay pacific has been under particular scrutiny our correspondent let us burning off filed this exclusive report one month ago flight attendant rebecca c. was called suddenly into an urgent meeting with the management of her company it
