i remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. broad pluralistic jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d, w. ah, the, the u. s. and e, you are getting ready to resolve the world's biggest corporate trade disputes. you as president joe biden is in brussels to east re tensions with a blog, including the long standing tariff route between play makers, boeing and airbus. how's coming up? are you ready for the quantum age? i b m reveals it's a system one the 1st quantum computing platform in europe. welcome to d, w. a business. i'm going to jones ville in good to happy with us. the european

union, the united states, opposed to federal an almost 2 decades long dispute over airplane subsidies for abas and boeing people familiar with the master, said the breakthrough is to be finalized today at u. s. presidential joe biden, for us, the summit meeting in brussels, an agreement would lift the threats of billions of dollars and terrorist and boost trans atlantic relations. the deal is expected to see tara suspended for the next 5 years, along with the creation of a working group to maintain the arrangement into the future. welcome wallet spring in our financial market correspondent, chelsea delaney in franklin chelsea big day for boeing and airbus. it is indeed, these parents have really been a major thorn in the side of the boeing and airbus for the past couple of years at a time when they could really not afford to have carried on their products, making them more expensive to customers, a demand for aircraft has already been decimated by the pendant,

so they really are in need of ever a longer expiration of the parent at the same time. both airbus and boeing are facing a lot more competition from china right now. which wants to basically build up a competitor to this do awfully of airbus and boeing. so we're moving that distraction is also a benefit for the to plane makers. but i'd say this also is very good for the european economy because many industries, particularly at the alcohol industry, french winemaker is iris. whiskey makers have been hit very hard by these tariffs as well as so it's certainly a good day for a lot of been says across europe. exactly. i mean, there is not just the 2 play makers and certainly that will be a big grades, a breakthrough. but there are other trade issues being discussed today. what's the most pressing one, do you think? well, i think the discussions are all really being seen through the lens of china right now at the u. s. one, you on it side as it becomes,

as it builds up this front to combat the rise of china. so they've talked about the these, these, these tariffs today. but they also will likely discuss, potentially working together on digital friday as well. because china has really become the front runner for things like artificial intelligence and robotics you in the us want to to work more together on that as well. my chelsea, delaney in frankfort, thank you so much. now you'll remember in 2018, the united states in post import harrison, almost all foreign steel makers, including china. and of course the you to stop. so that countries such as china from flooding the you with cheap steel, the you introduced quote, us and that's led to shortages of steel and price is all skyrocketing. the 2nd trip company in western germany makes stumped components for automobiles. the machine is

constantly supplied with high grade rolled steel straight from the furnace. last year, 2nd trip paid $4900.00 euro's for a relative steel. now it's $9000.00 tech and trucks. managing director blames the massive price icon e. u protectionism which is closed off the steel market here in guessing type home port quote is the wrong approach at this moment. they should be lifted and they can be imposed more flexibly, the more appropriate point. but right now, quote is, should be done away with guessing type. the thing is quite possible the united states will soon be lifting the penalty. tariffs on e, you steel, imposed by the previous administration. germany steel industry association, once quote is against non e u. countries to stay in place. that would leave turkeys and russian steel makers, for instance, out in the cold he's a lender can invite him. these countries still aren't able to access the u. s. market. so they're forced to pivot themselves more towards the european market that,

that creates an unfair and extremely difficult competitive situation on the european market. and threatened to overwhelm europe, steel industry, before them. a lot of steel, wholesalers like the pro pipe company, agree. they worry that domestic steel plants could collapse under the weight of cheaper competition from 3rd countries with pro pipe management office to delay delivery for months because there are no suitable steel pipes available. the auto industry stopped up well in advance of the shortage. my not yet responded immediately when the boarded massive reserves up front. i wouldn't say they bought the steel plants out, but they placed huge orders and that got the whole spiral going, why they're not in gun water taken, tra has to deal with the situation somehow. and with these kinds of material

shortages that usually involves passing huge price increases on to customers. thomasville, both is one manager at least 2 hopes the you will drop steel import quotas to increased competition and decrease prices. britain and australia have agreed a new trade deal. it's the 1st trade deal, the u. k has to go from scratch since it officially left the european union. i think it goes to several rollover deals. it already have been passed off when a member the new agreement is intended to increase the volume of trade between the 2 countries above the current $28000000000.00 us dollars annually. a d. w. big mass with more from london. this is the 1st new trade deal that the u. k has negotiated since leaving the european union. it probably won't add that much of the gross domestic product, just 0.01 or 2 percent according to the government's own estimates. it is, however,

as symbolic victory and the government hope that did my pay the way for a wider asia pacific free trade agreement. there are some and the british farming community that are worried about they're worried about food standards because of strange farmers allowed to use growth hormones and also pesticides that are actually been in the u. k. some export as though will rejoice. for example, scottish whiskey producers. they will hope that this will open up new opportunities for them. also in the asia pacific region, i was bigger mass in london. and now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making use. germany's inflation rate is up 2 and a half percent for the month of may. that's the 5th consecutive months. the rise and it brings inflation to a level not seen in a decade. the trend is mostly driven by higher energy prices, which are impacted by a new tax on c o. 2 emissions ikea has to pay $1000000.00 euros for

spying on its employees. that's the decision of a french court. the swedish furniture maker has been accused of snooping on its workers over several years and preaching their privacy by reviewing records on their bank accounts. within a few years, it's hoped that this ibm skew system one quantum computer will be cracking calculations that will take a standard digital computer years today in germany, the 1st i b m, system one in europe will be presented to the public news stood scott china and the u. s. have been working on quantum computers for years. now, europe hopes to catch up. 10. jeremy companies have teamed up in a joint initiative initiative is called q tech. companies include bmw, w, siemens, and bosh together. they want to develop applications for the computer. i b,

m system one will run b applications. well, only i spoke to d, w. christie plots, and i asked her if germany will be able to catch up with us and china, certainly when it comes to the industrial use of quantum computing. so, i mean, of course, this is the ultimate goal with this, with this whole initiative. i mean, germany's research minister has said that the country wants to achieve technological severity. the real idea behind this is to gain some of the ground that trimming his loss to the u. s. to china, to these, these 2 countries are much farther ahead. in this realm, of course, are keen on maintaining their lead. i mean, you know, they have a lot to gain by keeping other industrial countries dependent on their, their technology. now that being said, jeremy is kind of a double threat in the sense that it has both a strong industrial sphere as well as a lot of really great research institute institutes right here at home. and so what

we're, what we're hoping to see or what the countries hoping to see is to kind of combine those 2 to sort of even the playing field. and yeah, there's going to be a real concerted effort to do that. going go ahead now exactly to bring all that expertise on both sides together because as you mention it, when it comes to research and development to germany is certainly one of the world leaders even in quantum technology. and as far as i know, the government wants to invest even more. how much money are we talking about? yeah, sure. so, i mean, the governor said they want to invest over a 1000000000 euros in this project, and that's just through 2025. so this is going to be quite a long term project. so of course we're going to be talking about further investments going forward. and, you know, we have to remember that it's not just germany involved here. the use also stakeholder. they have a lot to gain by having, you know, a quantum computing with in house, so to speak. and then of course, you know, we haven't mentioned the corporate players yet. you know, all of these industrial leaders that you mentioned, who publicly committed to,

to this technology and, you know, we can expect them to be putting their money where their mouth as well. what is the long term goal? they're right, so maybe let's kind of zoom in for a 2nd. what's happening right now with this new initiative. so what, what, what this consort him as are calling it wants to do right now is identify possible use cases for this technology. and then to also identify how algorithms could be developed to make simple industrial tasks possible. so you know, so what do we, what can we do with this? and what's realistic that once they've determined that, that information would then be shared, you know, on a public level. and then over the course of course, be a regrouping deciding how do we go forward from here in the very long term we're talking about sort of changes to technology, to industry that are almost hard for us to understand from, from today's perspective, i mean, in general, we're talking about, you know, increa increasing efficiency of, of transportation, of logistics. i mean, we saw this fiasco when the,

for the freight ship ever more got stuck. and so it's canal a quantum computer could help sort out new routes for those ships that all got lodge there. very quickly. we're talking about improving computer learning, making it easier for computers to understand human speech, to see things, you know. so we're, we're seeing, we're talking very long term here. however, so those are just some, some ideas of what we're going to see as many years down the road. right? well, given all the challenges we're facing, i think it's time for content from quantum computing to really take off christie plants and from the w business. thank you so much. thank you. and his remind, and i'll help story this hour. you i'm the us are poised. one, almost 2 decades long dispute over abeline subsidies for abas and boeing break through this. this could be finalized today at u. s. president joe biden, 1st us summit meeting in brussels deal is expected to see paris suspended for the

next 5 years, along with the creation of a working group to maintain the arrangements in the future. as your business up to date on d. w at this hour from me and the team in berlin. thanks for watching. ah, the fight against the corona virus pandemic? how has the rate of infections in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus off the 19th special next on d, w. when i arrived here, i slept with people in a room. it was harsh. fair. i even got white hair is

learning the german language helped me a lot to me, great. trinity, to instruct you want to know their story, migrants verifying and reliable information for migrant levy to hundreds of thousands of dance a year. and there's no vaccines. it's by decades of research. that very research has seen several covered vaccines developed at lightning speed. the corona virus is pretty straightforward. h i v is a master of disguise and beauty. it's incredibly quickly but recent breakthroughs provide hope the welcome to the show and as all and m r n a technology could be the game changer. i'll talk to

a scientist working on the latest developments in a moment. first, this report scientists were able to develop effective vaccines within months of the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic. for 2 reasons. firstly developed countries poured billions into vaccine development in record time. and secondly, scientists were able to build on decades of aids and cancer research, the m r n. a vaccines developed by madonna. and by and take a proof of that. the idea behind these genetic vaccines is that people are injected with a blueprint for a particular element of the virus. in the case of the corona virus, this is known as the spike protein. the process means the body starts producing these proteins itself. the immune system then recognizes that it's coming under attack and starts to fight back. no vaccine has been found against aids,

which weakens the immune system because h i, viruses mutate so quickly. they also attack the immune system directly, which means the body is unable to fight back. but the dr and experimental results gained during research into corona virus. vaccines have also given the search for an aids vaccine, a terrific boost scientists have been able to obtain a lot of new data in a short time. the 1st positive results are already being seen. madana is planning to begin to clinical trials of its m r n a h i v vaccine. by the end of this year, nigel garrett is head of vaccine, and pathogenesis research center for the aides program of research in south africa, or caprice or so many h. i be back in trials has failed miserably. what makes you think that these new trials stand a better chance of success? good afternoon to you, been and to hear us. thank you so much for inviting me. now,

just to say that at the moment there are 2 ongoing h. b vaccine trials. interestingly, they're using be at the, you know, buyers vector platform, which is also used in the johnson and johnson corporate vaccine. the m r n. a technology is obviously new and has been applied to corporate vaccines, but not yet to h. i v in, in human trials so, so we're really looking forward to that. and there are some key differences between h i v and soft coffee too. so, patch, we're going to discuss that have been. so this is where h, i, b, is benefiting from, from covered would you say? because in so many cases during this pandemic research into other diseases including h, i v a has taken quite a hit because of the focus on poet. yeah. so that's right. some of our research she had caprice, has shown that the number of testing has reduced by about 50 percent,

a try be testing and also then each of the treatment initiation and you know, everyone knows that the treatment is really key for keeping people healthy and, and prevent death so these are key you and aids targets. so we suspect can i post the size that there's been a lot of diversion of resources stuffing and also the oratory resources to corporate testing in many loan in middle income countries. so now we have the covered vaccines because it's a buyers that affects the whole world and not just a certain minority of the population in so many countries as is the case with h i. v aids. yeah. so this was obviously a pandemic that it up slightly, everyone across the globe, and it's been a huge, huge effort globally. and a massive mobilization. so many of the, of the research that also actually helped with running these trials because we had

these clinical trial platforms all set up across the world really. and so in terms of h r v, there has been funding over the years. it's just a much more difficult virus to find an, a chevy back teen. again, spin corporate with coal. we were very lucky that we found the right target, which is the spike protein on the call it. and we managed to elicit very strong antibodies against the spy protein that the virus uses to attach to these yourselves, in atlanta, in h r v. that is a lot more complicated. we've been comparing it to covert but in comparison to something like the flu. i think people find it interesting. the variability of h i v in an individual exceeds the global sequence variability in the influenza virus during a whole season. is that what makes h, i v so hard to fight? yes. so you're, i've been, there's a enormous genetic diversity in

h i v. so if you look at the sequences that, for example, and code the, you know, the shell of the virus, they can vary by up to maybe about 35 percent between viruses of the same type of h b. and then there's very high what they call mutation rates. so the virus itself then evolves very quickly and the human being was, for example, the call it back scene or other flu viruses. they may have, you know, may be quite stable like 95 percent of the genome may be very stable and it's just one or 2 mutations that may change. and then, you know, you obviously then also get the problem with the famous barrier. yes. and the vast majority of h, i v infected individuals any produce weak strains, specific as the bodies. but some re, individuals do make potent antibodies against a broad range of mutations. those antibodies. a highly unusual,

but scientists do have them in their position, don't they? yeah, so this is actually a very interesting part of a chevy. research can be so compressed has been involved in a lot of broadly neutralizing antibody research, which is very strong antibodies. they have been isolated in some rand videos as you say, and we've been managing to essentially make them now in the reactors. and we can give them to human beings as what they call passive immunization, which is not a backseat, but it's giving the antibody directly for h r b prevention. now the real challenge is now to elicit these antibodies through vaccine. and i think that's again where maybe m r n a vaccines could come in because they have the potential they, they're very easy to manufacture and quite cheap as well. they can be delivered with these lifted nano particles to the body. and then the body can make so called

immune protein, so we call them in units and administering multiple immunizations could then elicit potentially the making of the strong anti bodies in a human being in natural infection. it takes about 3 years in an infected person to elicit these very strong antibodies, so to continuously involving antibody race with the virus that's been also quite described and noted. let me just ask you briefly to the question i asked you with the very beginning how, how much hope you have them considering the m r n a technology that's been developed and these other breakers. so i'm extremely excited like many of my colleagues about the technology, and there has been some animal studies. all right, ready that have shown some if you can see of these of these m r n a back scenes to prevent the, the monkey club equivalent of h, i v,

and we are looking forward to some human trials. i think, as you know, maybe some of us as well, and we're interested in the technology and taking this forward. so i think we have great hope that this will help us on the path to nature b vaccine soon. excellent, great to hear nigel garrett from caprice a. there. it's have you on the show today? thank you. let's check now with eric williams on the topic of coven vaccines stealing the spotlight. fall could 19 vaccine production compete with the production of other vaccines? oh, lou. the manufacturer is such a vitamin com in the machinery of global health care. i found it surprisingly difficult to nail down firm numbers when i began researching this topic. hard information on production figures was, was pretty scares and, and the supply chains involved are pretty convoluted. however,

non coven vaccine manufacture has, i think, certainly taken a hit as resources continue to be thrown at stopping stars covey to even straightforward bottlenecks. like shortfalls. for instance, in medical grade glass biles, they will have serious knock on effects and, and the massive wave of cobra. 19 in india, which is often called the pharmacy of the world. because so many vaccines are made there about will in the very nature of hong production, slow down for other vaccine as, as resources are diverted to the production of cobra vaccine. but even if manufacturers are making less vaccine for other diseases, supply side issues are just one part of a looming problem. which is that in the course of the pandemic demand for those

other vaccines also dropped a lot. new data from the cdc, for instance, shows that in the u. s. last year routine. childhood vaccinations for things like measles or, or tetanus, fell dramatically as parents skipped appointments. afraid that they or their kids might contract cove at 19, at a doctor's office or at a clinic. and the same thing will have occurred in many other parts of the world. experts more in that all those missed childhood vaccinations will be difficult to make up and say that in the mid term back could lead to spikes in the number of cases for diseases that before the pandemic were kept in check by vaccines. me as more good news before we go fully vaccinated, people in germany can now get a digital certificate on their cell phones to prevent status. health minister again

sponsors. the goal is to the passport to be available by the end of the month at the latest to everyone who qualifies its intended to allow holders more freedom in the pandemic. extra watching, stay safe, and so you will get the the news, the news . the
