years since the fall of the berlin wall we look at how life changed for towns along the former inner german border. this is the w. business i'm joined on in berlin welcome china and the u.s. have said they've agreed to ease tariffs on each other's goods as part of a so-called phase one deal now tariffs have been the weapon of choice especially for the west and the months long trade duel between the world's 2 biggest economies the announced rollback is fueling hopes of the trade wars eventually and. the announcement came from beijing where a commerce ministry spokesman said china and the u.s. would remove tariffs in stages there has been no reaction from washington but hope has been growing for signs of tension will progress to a wider deal. if the 2 sides reach a phase one agreement both sides should in accordance with the contents of the agreement revoke the terrorists already in effect in the same proportion and

simultaneously this is an important condition for reaching an agreement. china and the u.s. have been fighting a crippling trade war for over a year now installing punitive terrorist on hundreds of millions of dollars of goods and joins us now from new york yes now this initial agreement is being referred to as a phase one is it clear what it covers and what's yet to come. well it's pretty likely what this deal will include some people call it phase one other people call it the mini deal because a lot of subjects will not be touched in this phase one for example the protection of intellectual property or governmental support of chinese companies but basically about more exports of agricultural gold from the united states to china and as you mentioned. face

a rollback of some of the tariffs that already have been implemented so lots of ground to cover yet we've already seen a lot of relief on the markets we've seen them and on record highs do you think this optimism will last. well i mean we are still a bit short of a detailed some how the whole talks will develop there is some hope that maybe donald trump might already meet next week or early december so if that's going to happen will all saw set the tone for the stock market but we did get a new all time high in the dollar jones industrial average here on thursday and we were only a good one percent of the crucial 28000 point mark in the dow jones industrial average and what we also saw here on thursday is bike in a yields of the 10 years treasuries and that shows that investors are pulling some money out of bonds and investing into the stock market so that is

a sign that there's still a tide for the u.s. stocks at this point but as always let's wait and see if the speculation becomes reality and we will really see the signing of the phase one trade deal. there on wall street for us watching and waiting thank you very much. for prices continue to soar in china as african swine flu spreads across asia millions of animals have been slaughtered china is worst hit livestock there has already been reduced by 40 percent yet not on the philippines korea and indonesia are also affected the world organization for animal health is warning of a global crisis currently pork supplies are low in china and officials are worried about the latest outbreak in indonesia where the government is tracking developments closely. pigs are being dumped into the river in north some otra
