they have extremely high competencies in long steel products which is the type of steel british steelitish steel producers. over half of their output last year was of reinforcing bar which goes into construction projects and they produce wire rod and heavy sections which british steel also produces. another interesting point is thatjingye have been very profitable in recent yea rs. have been very profitable in recent years. in 2015, which was in china a very difficult period, jingye were able to mitigate and remain profitable, at times reducing their output. they have tight control of their output and profit and that might bode well for british steel in the future. why do they want british steel? this is their first foray into european markets forjingye. as it stands, britain is able to trade freely steel products into the eu without a tariff quota, it remains to be seen what happens in the brexit deal in the future if that will continue. as things stand, it will continue. as things stand, it will be a quota free tariff free arrangement with the eu which is appealing to companies like

steel had been allowed to emerge but you're right obviously the top management the tata steel is convinced that it's an able to operate profitably profitably profitably and keep all those jobs to some kook at the moment is challenging the decision by the e.u. commission it's of course unclear what the outcome might be and to super keeps insisting that its production facilities its steel production is the most modern in this was the most innovative so maybe maybe the situation for to say coop's steel makers might not as not be as bad as the one of tata steel contribution and driver thank you germany is committed to renewable energy and perhaps the biggest symbol of its transition to green power is the wind turbine many thousands of these dot the landscapes across the country generating electricity and cutting the need for fossil fuels but the turbines are far from popular and germany might be running out of places to put them. 206 meters high to catch the wind these turbines in the central german state has to generate electricity for thousands of households and spitter frank built the small

but this looks like british steel could be rescuedlj think british steel could be rescued.” think ite. you know, when you have these turnaround jobs and a lot of it is how expensive is the company to acquire? and 70 million for a company like british steel is nothing. it's not much money at all. it is easy to make money on something that you had so little to invest in. but it is not easy because brexit is not going away. the global economy is slowing, which is not good for steel. so they have their work cut out for them. it is not just their work cut out for them. it is notjust 4000 jobs, it is the 20,000 jobs in the supply chain as well. so all in all, it is 34,000 jobs. —— 24,000 jobs. the company has said they will need to do some cost—cutting. .. some of they will need to do some cost—cutting... some of the jobs will have to go. what do we know about the group? they operate in steel already but also in things like hotels... it is a nice conglomerate, a conglomerate thing. they do hotels, tourism, property property make sense because for hotels you need steel, right, they are quit

it shows that the chinese buyer thinks that steel made in scunthorpe chinese buyer thinks that steelt has a edge over other product in the world. it doesn't make sense for the chinese government, at the same time, to be backing a company taking over british deal and then trying to undercut that company. is there a long—run investment programme here? will they go for environmentally friendly, highervalue—added products? which can compete globally. thank you very much. a two—minute silence has been observed across the country to commemorate the hundredth armistice day since the end of the first world war. the royal british legion called on the nation to put busy lives on pause, set aside differences and remember those who risked their lives. daniela relph has this report. music: last post the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire, where remembrance happens daily, all year round. but today is different. armistice day here was marked with a service of remembrance and a silence. on 11 november, 1919, the first two—minute silence was observed. 100 years on, wherever you are, it rema

steel industry, it depends on the price of global steel.st threat to british steel across the country was chinese imports, why the chinese company would get involved but of course the steel they make is rather specialist. this chinese company has only been in production for 20 years and over the past decade chinese companies have been flooding the global steel market with cheaper steel. the steel they make here is much stronger and what they call long steel production, for things like railway tracks and long wires used within the industrial process. that's not something the chinese company themselves already do in china so they say it's complementary to buy this company, this will be a new production line for them. as you say, china has been the biggest competition for the company for the past decade or so so kind of ironic things have turned on its head and now we have a chinese company buying such an iconic british firm. thank you. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: in a boost for borisjohnson nigel farage says the b

steel has also pegged to how much steel is being made in china and production is down there because ofgoing tensions with the united states. but tata steel has been trying to restructure its business for the last two years, and it almost cut a deal with a german company earlier this year, but that blocked by europe's competition commission, saying it would produce two largest steel maker, and that had some effect on the market. so most of thejobs maker, and that had some effect on the market. so most of the jobs are going to go in the netherlands, as you say, and manyjobs also to go in the uk, and unions there are very unhappy with this decision. in the netherlands, also, there was a guarantee that jobs would netherlands, also, there was a guarantee thatjobs would be secure until 2021 at least. so there is going to be a lot of news coming out of this, a lot of going back and forth over this decision. but tata steel is adamant that it needs to restructure its business in order to survive the current economic climate. majorjob cuts at tata steel. thank you so much for your update, joinin

yes, a lot of concern over the idea of chinese dumping cheap steel, where british steel fits in withing his head on the market, the allegation seems credible, they were effectively able to buy a british steel, and run them down by sort of having cheap steel into the market. are you quoting? i may be. it's an allegation, it certainly with much verve, but at the same time, obviously one must remember that this is part of globalisation. the chinese firm being able to invest and buy out british firms if so need be. and we saw this, for example, with quality, and the idea of them may be being involved with 5g, the security around this. it's not been resolved yet, hasn't? it's ongoing. we see another firm which is buying a huge chunk of our steel sector, and so i'm sure there will be lots of scrutiny in this process. is at the question that it is a chinese firm, or is ita question that it is a chinese firm, or is it a question that the firm is possibly backed by the states, the chinese state, what would where you the most here? oh, gosh, well, it's with these big firms from china, they hav
