if there really are microorganisms in venus as clouds they would be hearty beings indeed those clouds are full of sulfuric acid which is fine full to life. whether there is truly life in those clouds must be confirmed by further observation a russian space probe is expected to reach venus is surface in the coming decade. then with business looking at that china deal we mentioned will be right there. like. my god says. sued for the russians so. here comes to.

many different walks of life. some are. oddly tried but all of them come straight from the heart to see and when there's no more delusional school . from the finish of the law to their final resting place the russians g.w. documentary. european officials tell china the book's economy's a not a plaything for beijing. needs to be a. north's. rhetoric a thump that in the china summit beijing proves its economic might with new industrial numbers out today. it's already cost b.w.

billions now dilate greens to a major settlement to seal claims that cheated on diesel emissions tests in the us . will continue to kill the color they're using as europe's summer comes to an end how restaurants going to cope when they considine is outdoors. and it was all a let's do business there is more data out today showing the chinese economy is recovering fast from the corona crisis in august industrial output grew by more than 5 percent that's the fastest growth in. months at the same time retail sales have grown for the 1st time these here suggesting the economic recovery is gathering pace as demand starts to improve more broadly consumer confidence is picking up improving automobile sales among others. clip it could it is following this story for us. today is just the latest in a whole series of data showing that the chinese recovery really is amazing and much

quicker than anywhere else in the world. the key being domestic demand finally picking up you mentioned there is 2 key things retail and automobiles these are 2 key drivers of the of the chinese economy and to see them growing is very important on a real sign that it's coming out of the coronavirus on a few months ahead of the rest of the world which is also crucial i think so this really adds to china's economic muscle in the way it deals with the rest of the world which is how we're looking at china right now and i think as we've seen in the china e.u. summit which took place yesterday at the e.u. is looking for a level playing fields now with china insurance let's have a listen in to what officials have been saying as far as a level playing field with china goes we want. it's based approach. and. we heard the same sort of message coming from fund

a line and other really easy you officials to it sounds like the e.u. is begging for china to come to the table on on on an uncivil if. it does that it's also the kind of argument now that we've had for years and years and years and there has been absolutely no advance the e.u. is comes to the same please you know we you know we're big trading partners you know the same way as we treat you i mean if a chinese company can buy an airport in the e.u. icons in the e.u. company by an airport in china things are tough why is that message not getting across the i mean the e.u. is a huge economic bloc well this is where it comes in to what we saw earlier i mean china is growing very very strongly it feels that the e.u. needs it so when you say you want something doesn't mean you're going to get it and i think china is quite happy for the talks to continue like this they can they can let things run because their economy is growing whereas the e.u. is trying to get out of the coronavirus needs to focus on things like the retail

sector in china the automobile sector in china that we spoke about earlier and i mentioned that the e.u. economy is is a strong economy. but the e.u. doesn't speak with one voice does it no i mean i think it's a very it's very disparate i mean you've got a very strong german economy very strong french economy and then you've got a lot of other peripheral economies that are still struggling and also i don't think the e.u. realize its own strength when it deals with china sometimes i think it's kind of bought into the narrative that china can pretty much do what it wants. so it's always in a weak position that way and politically is not unified its foreign policy is very mixed as well so what's making it even weaker is that it doesn't really have the backing of the u.s. it does it well this is it i mean we've been talking so much about the u.s. china decoupling but we're also seeing the u.s. europe decoupling in trade terms and i think that's really important because it means that even though the u.s. and europe share common values president not withstanding e.u. the e.u. is now standing alone in its fight

a little bit against china and i think that's put in a difficult position and thank you very much for coming in today very interesting stuff. moving on a german come make a dogma has agreed to pay $1000000000.00 to settle emissions cheating allegations in the united states u.s. government and california accuse them of sadie's maker of using test defeating software you'll say the company sold a quarter of a 1000000 non-compliant cars abends to american customers today's settlement with timer sends a clear and strong message to manufacturers and consumers alike the trumpets ministration will bigger slee enforce our nation's laws designed to protect the environment and public health and let's bring in chelsea delaney a financial correspondent in frankfurt is the u.s. that worried about the environment with all that fracking going on at the moment i mean the u.s. has become the world's top of oil producer there's definitely

a bit of irony to that statement claiming to be a vigorous defender of the environment because one of president trump biggest successes one of his biggest victories and his his presidency has been rolling back essentially all environmental regulations that were put in place during the obama era so that's everything from restrictions against fracking and public parks and national monuments to but also to opposing a lot of increases in and things like emission standards so certainly there is a bit of there's certainly a contradiction to the e.p.a. saying we've really been successful and protecting people from higher emissions as fair but at the same time trying to weaken emission standards especially now is as the west coast is really burning but this is these of these regulations these investigations into diesel gate also began before the term presidency abate they began to end the obama era very very true and bringing you back to the plate how

how does dunn was penalties how do they stack up with those a v w c. it's certainly not anywhere near as big as the penalties folks like in his face looks like and has already paid out more than $30000000000.00 euros a lot of that coming from the united states is paying 1500000000 euro it's now they also have had an 870000000 euro penalty and the in germany one of the reasons for that is volkswagen is a much bigger car producer and the number of vehicles that were impacted by these emissions trading devices was much much higher and also it was the really the 1st to begin being investigated around the world so it still has many many cases ahead of it josie delaney for us and frank for the thank you very much. french prime minister. is calling on companies to sign part time employment agreements the
