enough americans go on the hunt for the best following. providing it to retailers. because the program as the automotive world is going through a profound changes some of the biggest names in the business are taking the carpool lane if you have chrysler and p.s.a. peugeot have confirmed they intend to merge a tie up worth $50000000000.00 which would create the 4th largest automaker in the world the move comes as car makers grapple with a downturn in demand and price investments in electric and self driving vehicles. the future looks bleak for the internal combustion engine car makers worry about getting left behind for yet chrysler has failed to invest in new technologies such as autonomous driving and electric power that's why it's been looking for a partner for

a long time. enter. the french company has plenty of modern technology but it's completely absent from the north american market together they could become a dream team. the french government itself a shareholder in peugeot has already given the green light and this is good news this is good news for europe because you know that we have to face the challenges of electric cars. and to face that kind of challenges you need to to have champions who will live. the combined company would have turnover of over $180000000000.00 euros and it would have around $410000.00 employees and making $9000000.00 cars each year would put it in a different league. after folks toyota and the renault nissan alliance chrysler together with peugeot citroen would be the 4th largest car maker in the

conversations from chinese officials that they're doubtful about a long term deal between the 2 biggest economies in the world and then on the other side donald trump are tweeting that there will be a signing of the phase one deal pretty soon so pretty conflicting environment overall as court in new york thank you and now to some of the other business stories making news around the world boeing says cracks have been found in up to 50 of its popular $737.00 n. g. planes after global inspections to qantas planes are reportedly affected but the airline has so far objected calls to ground its entire $737.00 sleeps. as the pro-democracy protests continue official data confirms hong kong is in recession gross domestic product frank 3 percent in the last quarter months of
