it's a clear sign of 1st report for a taiwan and you have to see that the most exports from taiwan actually go to china about 45 percent of export. so just to get that in relation so you have about 50 percent off exports going to the united states that a good 6 and a half a to the european union. so if there is some tension between a china and taiwan, the u. s. on one side will try to make up for maybe a mist exports a to china and then on the other side, taiwan has also become more and more important for the united states, for example, or was receiving em, semiconductors from that area. i mean, at this point we are still a bit shy and detailed so we will get the detailed said more precisely. and the next couple of days, how this new trade a deal are actually might look more like between the united states and taiwan. and

a presidential pardon vice chairman of samsung group, was convicted of bribery and embezzlement in january of last year. after his justice ministry says lee and several other business tycoon were pardoned in order to help the country as the economy sauers. the latest figures show that the u. k. economy shrank in the 2nd quarter of this year by not point one percent. economists have now broadly come to the conclusion that britain is heading for a recession. these all worrying times for u. k. households for whom every day life getting more expensive, putting the kettle on is going to cost britain's a bit more this winter. that's because the countries cap on domestic energy prices is expected to rise to over $5000.00 euros a year beginning in january. conservative party candidates for britons next, prime minister, disagree on how to address what is bound to be

a crisis for many families. front runner list trust says she plans to alleviate financial strain by zeroing in on taxes. i will reduce taxes, and i'll also have a temporary moratorium on the green energy levy to save people money on their fuel bills. and what's important is that we get the economy growing, we can't get the economy growing. if we have the highest tax rates for 70 is in this country urgency when her rivalry she soon act wants to offer britons another energy bill credit this winter. i do feel a moral responsibility as prime minister to go further and get extra help to people over the autumn, the winter to help them cope with what is going to be a really difficult time regardless of their stances. officials have stressed. a decision won't be made until the future prime minister takes office in september, leaving many families waiting, unsure of how they'll get through winter. or we can discuss the economic situation

in the u. k. the moment further with danny houston from the british investment platform, a j bell is great. have you on the program, donnie of one of the big problems facing brits at the moment is rising energy bill is, isn't it? how severe is the situation actually getting it's getting incredibly difficult for households and we haven't seen anything just yet. the price cap rose in april and we're anticipating another rise in the price cap in october, taking an average annual energy bill to around $3500.00 pounds, which is a massive increase compared to what we've been used to paying you know, around 2000 pounds and we're expecting that that's only the tip of the iceberg with bill's expected to rise again in january. and all of that of course is having a knock on because consumers are scared. they're worried about how that budgets are going to stretch over the rest of the year. they're cutting back on everything from discretionary items to essentials. and that of course is impacting the economy.

households must be worried about this, a looming rise if it's the, you know, the, the magnitude you just described. so what is the british government doing strongly there's fairs? well, the british government has already put a number of measures in place to try and help households. so there have been money given to people through cashback, which came back in may. there's been extra money for the most, the households which are benefits. so those households that have the least amount of money coming in those which tend to be most affected by the rising cost in energy. and in addition to that, every household is going to get $400.00 pounds off their energy bill from october. but these measures were put in place when we thought that the energy price was going to go up by just over to just the 2000 pounds in october. now we're talking about, you know, 3500 pounds. it's significantly more because of the situation in ukraine,

and of course, you know, the difficulty with gas prices which are affecting people right across europe as well. so there is now an awful lot of pressure on the government to do more. but at the moment, there is a bit of a vacuum in the british government because the prime minister that we have at the moment forest johnson is on his way out. and any new measures to put in place to help household through those winter months will have to be put in by the new prime minister, who will not win that vote until september, the 5th. ok, any houston from h? i, val, in the u. k. thank you very much razors flying taxes have been talked up as the solution to many of the wells urban transport problems that quick reduce congestion and comparatively environmentally friendly. but for all the hype in recent years, there's still a long way off with the technology. yet to be perfect. this is atlas
