obviously of course very well for 2 years and over the curb it at all seems a lot over by the time you are a kid or when i get out the farm saw you know i'm going to take my son to their next do so he can piss in the hope for the bless her. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of business and how it affects us all i'm christiane and i'm going to bore in washington here's a look at what we have on debt. a momentous step one that has never been taken before with china toward a future of sharing reciprocal trade as we signed phase one of the historic trade

deal and it's official the u.s. and china have their phase one trade deal but this is just the beginning of law a long negotiation process there's a lot to break down here and we're excited to have richard wolfe both of economic update on here to help us cut through the slopes and dig through the details. and while we have seen a breakthrough on the play front the tension is still present in the tech sector and the race but we take a look at the latest battleground in the telecom fight taking place in the united kingdom so much to get to and sell little time let's go. despite this touted as a quote a landmark signing of phase one between president and vice premier and they all the markets are still on enthused phase one has pretty much been priced into the market already so if anything additional detail starts to take the steam out of the rally and it came of the surprise that existing u.s. tariffs on chinese goods will stay in place even after the deal is signed bloomberg reports that the 2 sides have an understanding that no sooner than 10 months but you. us will review good in the progress and potentially additional tara's

affective $360000000000.00 worth of chinese imports this period of review is meant to give the trump an ministration time to verify that the packed has been honored turning secretary student nugent's said that these terrorists will stay in place until there is a phase 2 if the president gets of phase to quickly hill consider releasing tear us as part of phase 2 interesting tactic moving the goal post now when we had all expect at some sort of tariff roll back in exchange for these massive ag purchases i mean isn't that the very point of quid pro quo in fair new goshi ation something exchange for something else analysts have contended that this is a new level of protectionism that would have been unthinkable before president tom took office and while trump wants phase 2 negotiations which is expected to tackled the big horde issues that touch on sovereignty to begin immediately that's going to be difficult because the people's daily reports that baze to trade talks may not

start any time soon now kicking the can down the road is a tradition in politics and china i can also play this game to phase one was to get a truce and a cease fire to prevent further escalations from to starving the markets and phase to do well will say this friction between china and the us is already starting to feel like the new normal in the market it is likely that trade arguments and tear of threats and the u.s. investment restrictions will continue throughout 2020 the official taxed will be released later on to review but there is a non-public component of the agreement which is a confidential annex we've detailed purchase amounts devils always the the detail as we wait for the documents to be released know kristie i mean this is fascinating seemed like it's a big win for the trope administration but what is china really getting out of actually signing this deal today here in washington is exact us i've got a clue what i was getting with the quid pro quo why is china actually getting china is made these huge commitments $200000000000.00 worth in the following 2 years and

what is it getting not in return not getting spanked by more terrorist by the us to avoid more punishment by the us how is that exactly fair is not really getting any additional reward in return then why did they sign the deal to do that in order to have a cease fire in order to avoid getting slapped by more tears which would have been in place in the summer and to further prevent more escalation and thereby volatility in the market and this also gives china a little bit of a breather and time to focus on their domestic market they're now looking ahead it's taken more than a year and a half to hammer out the details of phase one which you say are even beneficial really to china at this point so what about phase 2 are we really going to see progress on this i mean the china people's daily they say we won't see this for a while exactly and we've been saying on the shelf for some time along with many of our guests that phase 2 is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon because if phase one took a year to have phase 2 which will probably be broken out into a mini phase $22.00 mini phase $2.00 except that's not all be broken out and who

knows how long i'll take year and a half 2 years but we're going to definitely see on this so let's bring in professor richard wolffe economics object to add a little bit of his insight here because he's one of those guys that christie was just talking about a professor i want to follow up on that same note that we just talked about there where do you see things when it comes to actually doing phase 2. well between you and me and the lamppost i don't see much happening i don't see much has happened here either i think this is 95 percent see after it's partly for the trumpet administration because they initiated all of this but partly as you correctly say for the chinese also to look as though 'd they're cooperating they're not interested in being a problem a position by the way which they have successfully promoted around the world where this is entirely seen as an american initiative an american commitment to protectionism not at all. blaming china and that by the way in the long run is

a very very important gain for china it has taken over from the united states the position of being the reasonable global world economic power that isn't slapping anybody with tower of at least not as an initial behavior it's only doing it if it is subjected to tariffs the united states you stop your pie the role of the dominant benevolent global world economic power mr trump whether you like him or not has lost that position for the united states and given it to china 2 other quick things one yesterday the united states said they no longer consider china to be a currency manipulator my guess is that was on the table too because they'd the chinese don't want that kind of designation because it interferes in international monetary dealings and finally giving 10 months for

a decision about continuing and maybe 2 years for the purchases by the chinese that are being talked about that's more than enough time for china to do and to plan to do many things that can undo the effect of tariffs let me remind you a tariff is a tax if you put a tax on chinese goods it makes them more expensive but if the chinese figure out ways to cheapen their goods well then they become competitive again even with a tower f. and they've already been doing that in the last 12 months they will now accelerate that and that is a long term competitive advantage to them because as they're having to cheapen their products americans protected by the tariff wall have less of an incentive to do that and in the long run that. all show pretty boring try to do you bring up an

excellent point about america who used to be the dominant stabilizing power in the global stage and he is kind of a kind of lost that now so is 2020 said to be a repeat of 2019 with rampant volatility in the market as a kind of gets dark around by more tweets from the white house because as a manager they got totally destroyed last year from trying to reposition their portfolios every other day according to trump. well i think here's what you have 42020 and for 2021 you basically have conflicting pressures the uncertainty around china which in this deal perpetuates for the rest of the next of this year and probably into next year as well that's not good for the markets number one that's bad number 2 every 4 to 7 years capitalism everywhere in the world has a downturn we call that the business cycle every 4 to 7 years the last downturn here was in 2008 and 9 we are overdue and everybody in the stock market who knows

anything about history knows that and no one knows exactly when it will hit but that it will hit in the next year or 2 you can bet on it and that means that the stock market is going to be under a lot of pressure on the plus side the federal reserve keeps pumping wild amounts of money into the stock market the government just announced that we just passed $1.00 trillion dollars in government deficit spending so you're boosting the economy by the way done by a republican administration which used to criticize all that kind who behavior they're doing that that will boost the economy but i don't think that strong enough for the headwinds from the business cycle and the chinese uncertainty of course we'll talk further about this in the coming weeks but up professor what i want you to hang in there for about 90 seconds we want to set up this next story and get your reaction to it just hang there for just a moment. on wednesday russian prime minister dmitri medvedev announced the

resignation of the country's government of the resignation came shortly after president vladimir putin gave his annual state of the nation address where he announced plans constitutional reforms following that speech the president the prime minister announced his resignation and president putin thanked him for his service. which we as a government of the russian federation should have lined the president of our country with an opportunity to make all necessary. decisions are changing the russian political says you know could you lead and in these conditions i believe that it would be right that the incumbent government of the russian federation resigns and corded on verticals on the 17 of the most of the russian federation 2 of them for my party and i'd like to thank you for everything that has been done at this stage of our joint credit with it and i'd like to express my satisfaction at the results achieved that you would not everything of course he succeeded in everything never works out in its entirety and during the state of the nation the president said he plans to create a new position of deputy secretary of russia's security council which would be

offered to met better job under the proposed reforms of the state duma russia's lower house of parliament will be given the authority to dame the prime minister and the rest of their cabinet the process will not go into effect until after a referendum from the russian people the kremlin said today that president putin met with the head of the federal tax service mikhail mistrust and and offered him the role of prime minister which he has accepted so we're going to bring in bring back a presser richard wolffe right now host of economic update back in to break this all bound up with fessor wolf what do you make of this resignation of the russian government or what are we seeing here. well i think we are seeing an adjustment inside russia to the new and different global situation that they face they want to make some changes economically they have done really quite well they are looking at exports of energy to western europe far larger and more

lucrative than what they had as little as a few years ago all their strategy which they chose in part was full forced on them did not depend russia on exports of non energy goods the way for example the chinese economy is dependent on exports of manufactured goods so they haven't been hurt as badly as germany has and other countries the united states include. good bye this trade war it's kind of a peculiar moment for them and i think they're looking at a new and more powerful and economically more secure situation in the world you see that they've kind of moved in to become the key player in syria so they are they have expansion a little bit of their range of influence i think they're feeling their oats and they're going to make some changes and they feel that they are in a stronger global position and a stronger don't mess that position and they probably are now knows the situation

with the gunman signing have any impact on the russian economy or any of their economic relationships and market seems to be approving this as it's rallying the model x. as rallying 1.6 percent. i think that most people don't think that will have very little effect if this is very smooth everybody is congratulating everybody else everybody who's quitting is doing it without a murmur of opposition or resistance so this is all very choreographed very smooth and i think it's being read probably correctly by the markets as a sign of the self-confidence and their security there are problems inside russia there are problems within the equality in that society ever since the transition from the old soviet union those problems are not going away they're building up as they are elsewhere in the world that's going to be a problem for mr putin part of this is probably an attempt to see how to manage that that's

a kind of an uncertainty but broadly speaking the market see this as russia becoming a more important player than it has been since 1909 and the collapse of the old soviet union professor richard wolffe of fear of understanding socialism thank you for breaking this all down for us we needed it today. my pleasure thank you. as wall street analysts initiate coverage on saudi aramco most agree that the upside has already been priced in and issued a neutral rating all except j.p. morgan kristen issued an overweight rating with a price target of 37 reales representing a 6.6 percent from current levels new is predicated on stephen growth outlook and iran goes ability to sell oil at a premium it also has a low debt to equity ratio which will allow it to distribute

johnson went on to say quote the british public deserves to have access to the best possible technology we want to put in a gigabyte broadband for everybody now if people oppose one brand or another then they have to tell us what's the alternative the prime minister also pointed out that he wants to protect britain's role in the 5 eyes intelligence sharing agreement between the united states britain canada new zealand and australia the us has been applying pressure on multiple countries to block away from building out its 5 g. infrastructure now in fact should the trumpet ministration officials have said that allowing you to have access to the u.k.'s intelligence sharing would be nothing short of madness now joining us to discuss this further is hillary ford which board member of the british american business association because that so boris johnson was extremely careful to talk about keeping the 5 relationship why did you feel the need to make that point so heavily well because it's been a very long standing global agreement of course as you mentioned the us canada

australia new zealand and the u.k. and i think i would go though to defer to andrew parker he's the head of m i 5 and he was charged with the investigation as to whether this is safe or not which was initiated by bob c. bob seeley was on the is on the u.k. foreign affairs council a conservative politician and they had extensive investigation as to whether it would be safe or not and basically because boris johnson was caught between a rock and a hard place he's made the pledge you just mention to the british public to to maintain compatible with being very competitive and maintain that versus this investigation it will in the end andrew pollack of mit. 5 has said he does not think that while way will jeopardize national security i think it's not so much a case as what is happening now it's what is the possibility of what could that software do because we know back to 2010 michael hayden the head of the u.s. and u.s. agency actually has said look this is nothing more than a vehicle for chinese espionage. this is actually interesting because of this that

they could be there's so much concern over while great technology but there's never been any actual evidence that the company does allow back door access to the chinese government crash so that's at this point how are they able to continually say this well they might well everybody might rise in my sprint. so what do you make of that i think is the fear with the with the chinese i think it's because there have been cases against while way on the national security advisor i just mentioned michael hayden it was again going back to 2012 cases were opened want to about fraud and one about espionage commercial espionage and i think it's because of those cases there's always that expression where there's smoke there's fire and i think that those sort of like basically expose some sort of fear was that's never been that way with apple or verizon or any of the others and you have a question actually to follow up on that when it comes to apple who's receiving what's happening right now about the back door in the battle for as we saw this

after december to do if you were so yes terror leader terrorist attack yes absolutely awful situation yeah but the u.s. government wants them to give a backdoor access into those phones because it's you know there is the line that is that is a global debate which is when it comes to terrorists do you want to have access or not i mean people want it but then like you say it could be anything it could be for commercial espionage absolute yes in the end it's about whoever is abusing the technology really can't blame the technology is it going to be is going to be a bad element and of act grokked so now germany was also recently threatened by china's over its possible exclusion of way over its country's 5 g. build so what was the. well with germany they're in a very different situation of course germany is in a different situation because a quarter of the kamani factoring goes into china and so this situation is the ankle a muckle is very pressured by this the members of her party have actually opened a case where they want to pos legislation to ban while way into germany problem it is less so dependent on the manufacturing access into china and the ambassador to

germany from china who he has actually threatened that you know we might not accept those calls into china anymore so the issue there is this legislation that's being started by members of the opposing party and absolutely i mean it seems like a lot of this i mean especially with what was happening in germany and now in the u.k. it is a lot of pressure from the united states who kind of started this battle against weiwei or at least made the biggest push on it and a lot of pressure from absolute hiller for it for which member of the euro board member of the british american business association thank you so much for joining us today. and finally some good news for the legions of nintendo and video game fans out there universal studios japan says it will launch super nintendo world in osaka in the summer of 2020 the new mario centric theme park is slated to open in time for the 2020 summer olympics which take place in tokyo which will funnel
