still be dismissed if brussels reaches a solution with china as indigo, using the. well, let's get some analysis. we've got stephen beardsley here from our business desk along with terry schultz who joins us from brussels. terry, let's start with you. the, the tariffs were approved despite germany vote against it a walk us through the vote. yeah, actually what happened is that those countries who opposed it, as you mentioned in germany, were only backed by small countries like hungry, malta, slovenia as slovak, you and the proponent side. we had the big states of france, italy, and poland and 7 others. but what actually was interesting in the final outcome is that there were more abstentions from this both. then there were countries approving it and that pops it back to the european commission, which of course made the proposal in the 1st place. and then the commission came

out immediately and said it is going ahead with imposing the parents. so this was very contentious. it is, lays out just how controversial a policy is toward china and how uncomfortable countries are within posing tariffs when they're so worried about what will be the retaliation from be doing. steve, what do you make of germany? which is home to europe's biggest carmakers, voting against the terrace, dietary. it seems counter intuitive at 1st because you would imagine that they would be for these tariffs, which would seemingly protect their industry. but from management to labor to the leaders of the country. we've heard vocally, they've all said that they are against it. so in that sense, it's not a surprise. and as you mentioned, it's over for years of a trade war. and the car industry especially would be hit by that potentially hard depending on what measures china takes because they still are very active in the chinese market, delivers as well as suppliers, i should say. they're also very exposed in china. were some things that happen

there. so this is their concern and this is the concern that we typically hear globally we talk about trumps tear force. for example, we often hear these are basically taxes on consumers. and in the case of germany, it could be a tax or could of further hurt certain industries that are very active overseas at a time when they're already facing more competition from china in china, but also in other markets. so it's a very difficult time, and they're saying this is not something that we need right now. what's at stake, steve? in terms of money? it's hard to really say because what this means that we don't know if these chinese auto producers will pull back their exports because if it's not worth it, or if they'll pass along those costs to consumers, or if they will somehow take a bit of a hit themselves, i would say what the big cost is, is consumer choice. and if you wanted to buy the cheapest battery electric vehicle out there, well the price is going to go up now. so who's paying that costs consumers are paying it, but also maybe the environmental emissions of the you are paying it. and if this

thing develops into a wider trade war than potentially, industries here in europe are going to pay higher costs. we're already seeing investigations into dairy, into port, it's a brandy aimed as specific countries. so those industries are going to have something to say when suddenly countermeasures are hyped against them. this is about much more than just cars. terry, there are geo political implications to what just happened. where do you see this had a that's for sure, and that's why there were so many countries who chose not to take a stand today. we know where it's headed in the short term. the european commission will go ahead with these terrorists, they have until the end of the month to publish them in their official journal, which then puts them in, in uh, makes them a, uh, formalized um, in fact, to the european commission, it will be holding a regular mid day briefing within this hour and we'll hear more from them on how they view this, how they do this in the future. surely they expect the negotiations to continue. but of course,

1st live underlying european commission president will be spinning this as a win and showing her strong stats on anti subsidy measures. and so we will hear from the commission now. and i hope to be back with you shortly to explain just what they say. okay, terry schultz in brussels and stephen beardsley from our business team. thank you very much. you both now to the middle east and here ends. foreign minister has arrived in the lebanese capital is, is really our strikes close in on leaders of the to ran back militia has been a foreign minister, a boss rock cheese has met with lebanon's caretaker prime minister on the hours after is really warplanes, reportedly struck a bunker where hezbollah officials were meeting, iran's top diplomat is expected to discuss israel's military campaign with lebanese officials. media reports say the overnight attack name to kill

and if they cannot leave the country through the air. so the most not crossing was very important to civilians if they want it to leave to syria. but it is also very controversial as the the is really ami has blamed. has paula for using this crossing to import weapons from syria into lab on, on, reports have shown that ever since destroyed last night. the traffic in front of the border crossing has come to cold. no, iran's for administer has landed a inmate route. we know, of course, that iran is a major backer of hezbollah. what can we expect from his visit? for the, for the visit is a very important a visit for the members off has fall off the killing all of their lead a house on this run out. last week many has voted on members, has expressed the anger they've called abandoned by the iranian regime. so for

these people, the visit of a foreign minister is very important because it shows and is a symbol for them, for a close alliance between iran and has bowler. at the moment, they are also political negotiations going on here and they ruse. the killing off house on this rela, has left a massive political power voice. and they are able to find a new government and to form and use government to find in your president. in order to use this as a momentum to, to re strengthen the live on his government to strength and deliver new states and to use the momentum of getting rid of his paula that is already we can because many people here in the oven and do see has bola as their enemy, so the visit of their writing and for administer is also a clear sign by iran that the rain and regime does have
