across the atlantic where investors have had a day to digest president donald trump state of the union address where the u.s. has economic success figured quite heavily our financial correspondent younes carter joins us now again so did investors buy it. well we do not even need to worry it's from u.s. president donald trump the wall street was focused on effect so you're on a win state from economic numbers in the private sector in general almost 300000 jobs created the most since may of 2015 and this figure was almost double as high as expected there were some seasonal factors or better to say some factors at play we have a very warm and dry conditions here in the united states that for example helped the construction industry but since u.s. president donald trump took office and generated 27 about 6700000 jobs

created we can. talk about how good those jobs are paid but overall the labor market seems to be sound and that certainly did help drive the stock market higher blue chips are up by almost $500.00 points so we are basically back where we started before the whole coronavirus started to put pressure on the markets it was like a bad dream there on wall street for us thank you. herman sports retailer is closing a considerable number of shops in china as the corona virus continues to spread and still assessing how big an influence it will have on business several other global brands have announced the closure of some of their own stores in the country include nike ralph lauren and capri which owns clothing brand michael kors experts fear the virus could have a major impact on china's economy but knock on effects for the rest of the global

supply chain. and coronavirus contagion fears hit india too where the country's biggest auto show saw hundreds of no shows from china chinese auto makers say their stands are being staffed by indian employees china is an important player at the exhibition with companies from the country booking around 20 percent of the space organizers say the absence of a big chinese delegation is a blow to the. hundreds of thousands of visitors visitors and officially opens friday. at the end of last year tesla c.e.o. elon musk announced the car the carmaker would build a manufacturing plant and boone hide in the aurora lent the so-called gigafactory 4 is to produce batteries and power trains for up to $500000.00 electric cars a year for the european market but not everyone in green is happy about the new neighbors. it's hard to believe that just months from now this pine forest in the

state of brandenburg will be the site of tesla's gigafactory for authorities are still defusing unexploded world war 2 bombs here but the forests has to be cleared quickly because in march the growing season starts and then tree felling is not permitted. ever since it was announced that tesla would build the factory here the southeast of berlin has been up in arms me. opponents of the project are worried about the changes tesla's production site will make to their community and the environment. in response tesla basilan musk tweeted a promise to keep production sustainable but the protesters aren't convinced. he is in does your critters meet you this very critically because where the gigafactory is slated to be built is a drinking water preservation zone and it will have a massive effect on the water situation. a huge area of forest has to be cleared and that means they'll be more traffic in the surroundings and more emissions with

a negative environmental impact. our interest may get even i was off to. our nick kristof the mayor couldn't hide it is familiar with the protesters arguments but he doesn't accept them he says ultimately the factory is supposed to turn out half a 1000000 electric cars a year and for that he's prepared to sacrifice the tree as. you but i mean someone came up with a good comparison of the plant grain to harvest it later in the year it's the same with as far as to can be harvested it's harvest ready substandard pine forest that's the forestry term for it all. but tesla signed the purchase contract with the state of brandenburg in late january or since then couldn't hide it has been making headlines even the new york times has reported from here the mayor is looking forward to the tax revenues to billions of euros in investments and thousands of new jobs. that's

a viewpoint shared by the fans of tesla's project they're out here in force to show what a great opportunity this could be for clean haida. i'm sure tesla will adhere to environmental standards on those on the other hand i mean the union and we realize that there are questions about working conditions that will need to discuss with tesla in the upcoming months. now the big rush is starting transport links to berlin need revamping new housing and schools are needed and tesla still doesn't have a building permit the approval process is ongoing in shanghai the u.s. carmaker just completed its gigafactory 3 in less than a year but brandenburg is not china here many stakeholders in society have a say. germany is phasing out nuclear energy hoping to replace it with wind and solar in the long run but previously generous government support for the wind sector is waning amid complaints by angry residents and lengthy approval times to

a large wind turbine makers have already folded. there are still some big construction sites for wind parks left in germany. like here in mecca the book 4 palm and. 16 windmills are being constructed in spite of the heavy fog as a dog it all depends on the wind and weather like today at 1st you couldn't see anything so we couldn't work the workers here of learning to deal with the fog on the site it's the political climate that's giving them problems the german government is causing everyone to worry burgling has put a damper on the sector protests and legal battles have delayed construction licenses there are hardly any contracts in sight. but energy producers like nordics in rostock are set up to serve domestic customers. as our generators are of course relatively heavy these components that we deliver

way many tonnes so we want to produce them close to where they'll be standing that's the way it is the delivery chain leads to where the markets are and unfortunately those markets aren't in germany anymore all the other markets are doing relatively well but the german market is at an absolute low point. it's the markets the moment. absolutely on the. other when technology suppliers like send me on hand to declare insolvency the german wind energy association says politics are threatening a growth market. since you know the art of german engineering is anchored here we are world market leaders but we're in the process of eliminating this opportunity at home the german market is losing its relevance there's no reason to try and be active here that's exactly what energy company nordics did. the company

as just one large contracts in turkey. we suffered for years in germany at one point we realized we had to start exploring new territory the losses at home could be regained in other markets on the matter doesn't often include german projects such as this wind farm in northern germany are rare for nordics these days 97 percent of their orders come from all around europe scandinavia and america but also new markets like india. and that's it for lust thanks for watching.
