to put. in some. degree of. rolling back a roll back u.s. president donald trump says he hasn't agreed to lift tariffs on chinese goods in order to claim the deal to end the u.s. china trade war that's causing confusion over how far along the trade talks really are. and 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall if you look at the economic imbalances between germany's western and eastern states and once one entrepreneurs struggle under communism. this is the business i'm joined now on in berlin welcome

it's been a chaotic week of mixed messaging on the trade talks with comments from president donald trump on friday diminishing hopes of an imminent trade truce between washington and beijing he said a complete rollback of tariffs on each other's goods was not in the cards he said the chinese government knew he would not agree to such a rollback but just a day earlier the chinese commerce street said the tariffs would be lifted in stages however the white house's advisers are reportedly divided on whether and which levies to remove as a response to which concessions from beijing earlier reports of both sides agreeing to an initial deal to pave the way for a broader one have now been thrown into doubt. now earlier we spoke with one experience head of market analysis ranko berridge we asked them how much the erratic communication surrounding the trade discussions were a disadvantage for the chinese. that's right. i think the root of the problem is

the fact that policy at the white house has been made alternately directly by the president often with high the no input or even contradicting important from various advisers as a result of this is that as we've heard this week for example with could lose recent statements the senior advisers like to add a lot of contingency into the communications they put out and even to say a deal has been reached always make it contingent on final approval from the president and as you said you know chris sort of a messy communications environment and you can see financial markets reacting to that for more on just how the financial markets are reacting our correspondent yan's quarter is here to give us the view from wall street yang's after yesterday's highs the end of this trading week is marked with a bit more uncertainty how does it look from your end well i mean overall it's clearly it is very difficult for corporations to make investment decisions in this

environment and as you mentioned earlier it's a back and forth when it comes to the mood to when it comes to a possible trade agreement or face a one deal or many a deal as it's called here on wall street but interestingly enough investors seem to shrug it all of we had a previous strong reading on thursday and then on friday when the words from donald trump hit the wires we saw a little dip but then basically at the last 2nd day of trading the dollar jones industrial average turned positive meaning that the dow jones industrial average the s. and p. 500 also lost a composite actually of finishing the week on all new record highs. so investors taking it all in their stride now there is what trump says and there is the reality that both sides really need a deal to progress so how likely is it that we're going to see one in december. well one question is even if there is a deal reached and we have to wait and see if it's going to happen then you will

need to find a time and place where u.s. president. could meet u.s. president donald trump on friday claim that certainly the signing would take place in the united states and possibly also if we keep in mind that we have the elections coming up next year and u.s. president on the drug might want to signing it to happen in the u.s. state where i agree culture for example is a pretty big but then we also shouldn't forget that the shopping season the holiday season is coming up and theoretically there is still this date december 15th where a new set of terrorists actually could take place but overall the market at least seems to be quite hopeful that the 2 might find an agreement sold to a not actually hinder good shopping season here in the united states. wrapping up the trading week for us thank you very much. now to some of the other

needed so much help back then you 100 it did lots of jobs for the east german government but he soon realized that east germany was broke you should know how limited they had reached their limit and it couldn't go on like that. and i think that at one point in this. no matter what they tried the situation couldn't be helped. his office is full of souvenirs spanning 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall the east german businessman inexperienced in the way of capitalism was ripped off a few times in the beginning when he looks at this picture he remembers. we finished and delivered the orders but they only paid us half of what they owed us. experienced all the risks that business men face now after years has finally paid
