let's go over to the financial correspondent on wall street now. is that euro strong, or is the greenback simply weaker at the moment? reporter: it is really fascinating to see how many experts at the beginning of the year were certain the euro will drop in comparison to the dollar, and it has not. it is a mixture. political turmoil, it is not necessarily amounting to make a strong case for the u.s. dollar, but we have seen the european economy actually gained quite some traction and euro strength. the dollar appears to be weaker. and then it is less likely we get strong action from the federal reserve, so we are talking at most maybe one more rate increase this year. that also takes some air out of the greenback at this point.

reporter: wall street slipping down over 100 points. what is behind that? jens: we saw quite some pressure , and again all the words from the u.s. president donald trump are not helping at this point. early this week he came out with the fire and fury statement. now he said probably he was not even tough enough. he could increase the pressure. that put wall street down 2%, the dow jones the weakest section since may, so it seems like by now pressure is increasing for wall street, not just a few days but longer. reporter: thank you. bad weather here in germany has not put much of a damper on tourism. it is on the eighth record year in a row, and the hills really
