talking about developed countries in specific the g. 20 nations what are nations like the us like china and germany what are they doing or not doing to tackle their c o 2 emissions. what i mean i think they are doing something that is not that this thing happening i mean you see chinese building ruble power really really big scale but at the same time they're having quite high growth rates so they're farming to keep relying mediocre at the same time so it's just it's not a black and white picket that said there is a lot of british ships in between i think what has happened in the last just 5 years or so is that wind and solar has really moved up and become fluid competitive in almost all countries and i think that will in itself true market forces also drive things faster but it needs to be with us it makes that process and i think a lot of countries haven't realized that they need to put in place that sort of conducive political environment so late that transition and we are talking about a real transitional specially of energy insurance for we need to move towards the tallahassee power completely

of china and germany why is also important well because that money's being shifted around to minimize tax and it means that money isn't being used in developing countries to for example alleviate poverty in fact in 2015 the un calculated developing countries lose at least $100000000000.00 every year because multinationals shift their profits to countries where they pay little or no tax as in context $100000000000.00 that could provide safe drinking water and sanitary facilities for $2200000000.00 people every year more on this with our guest in a moment 1st move back a takes a look at some of these tax havens and the cost to the world's nations. taxes have been described as the price we pay for civilization we may not like them but they're responsible for keeping our economies and our societies afloat paying for roads health care education defense social security the list goes on all companies pay corporation tax on their annual profits it's estimated $500000000000.00 in taxes may be being deliberately avoided by some of the world's largest multinational corporations that's roughly th

if we are looking within europe, germany is one country that i would say, if we do get a u.s.-chinaermany stands to disproportionately benefit because they are the export powerhouse of the region and of the world. alix: but no way that they do fiscal, right? you heard even before you got that anemic growth in the fourth quarter, the finance minister being like, we don't want to do it, and unemployment is actually falling. so why would they even think about it now? seema: absolutely. prettygot the bund yield much all negative. why is the government not taking advantage of this for fiscal stimulus? but that pushes going to be on the green side, and not very significant. but if there is a deal in play between the u.s. and china, then germany really stands to benefit, but they are less likely to go ahead with the fiscal stimulus which they need more, arguably, then the trade deal. to bet think it's going anywhere close to a 2% growth rate in that area. kathryn: you're right, and i think if we get some trade accord, germany doesn't need the fiscal stimulus. but it is also a good time to

chance that we will see growth again in germany but but when's that going to happen because the dangers are all from abroad we're talking about breaks that china trade wars every economy is being hit right now not just germany yes that's right but the german is a condom is much more affected by these risk than others economies and this is simply because the german manufacturing sector has a much larger share in total production at the moment i am slightly optimistic concerning the outlook of the risk of further escalation of the trade war of a hot breakfast it they have formed over the last month and i think this is a good sign for the outlook and this is also reflected in the latest business climate indicators not only in germany but also in other countries which have stopped fall'n or even increase almost as a thank you very much for the interview. trade frictions are seeing china's main growth engines folder its services sector is no longer booming putting pressure on jobs retail sales growth is at a 16 year low and china's factory output per significantly slower than expected last month global and domestic demand a weak china's trade war w

germans with both a russian and chinese collaboration where they are now being joined between china and germanynd i think they are open to working with virtually anybody. and the goal would be to ultimately create an alternative coalition, not with china by it self to take us on that for example with china, russia, iran coalition they would be fairly formidable and it would be hard to see how the united states would win a conflict in which they were allies. >> some of the examples you mentioned they are happy to work with any governor and regardless of how they treat their people. they have state owned enterprises they can address and then also they have walls on the books that make it so they can compel private companies to support their overall objectiv objectives. we know that there's issues of corruption. in djibouti and ethiopia two years ago i found out the united states and other countries have offered basically a grant to build the road, but instead they went with the chinese and the rumor is because some key officials have been taking bribes to allow that. i often wonder, and i'm curio

china. a saying in germany the country faces an alarming shortage of qualified nurses the government has now introduced a plan to attract more caretakers from from abroad rather and vietnam is one of their key recruitment areas we visited 2 vietnamese apprentices at their training hospital in rostock. it's monday morning in the neurological ward don't the rostock university hospital. and the 2 apprentices on to do on t quinn who are helping a patient. both have already completed training as nurses in their home country of vietnam nevertheless much is new to them. and during my training in vietnam i gave injections are put in drips but washing patients or giving them food was done by other workers. in germany the nurses to perform these tasks therefore trainees from vietnam have to complete the full 3 year training program once again. well. that was because. the student nurses are prepared for the german system as part of the training program in their home country still it's not easy for the 2 women. was that it got us out of this it's a very different dialect to the one that i've learned. th

billion with the chinese, that is the largest in fact it has with any other country, followed by germany. now, chinaducts and poor, especially as the country is grappling with a swine fever outbreak that is causing a rapid rise in pork prices. now, the european union has members and it has good us basically, they are trying to get onboard, they have a 10% tax on our bus planes and 25% on wine and cheese. so at this point they are trying to get their products into the hands of the chinese as this ongoing trade war between the us and china continues. now, the one thing that president macron and premier xi jinping now, the one thing that president macron and premier xijinping to agree on is theirfight macron and premier xijinping to agree on is their fight against climate change. donald trump yesterday officially took the us out of the paris agreement, these two members want to renew their attack on climate change together. all right. but still, everyone is looking towards the chinese market of more than 1 billion looking towards the chinese market of more than1 billion people. thank you so much for th

clue currencies poppy goes hand in hand so therefore 2 currencies are not beaten for example in germany but china tries to disentangle crypto and i watch that story that china is actually working on its own crypto currency that's called it the e.u. one. that's true and it's a fascinating project with this i would say that they are really ahead of all other countries all other countries obs ghassan in an experiment in china is ready to stop the debt digital 1 o'clock train system but the critical point here what you are still hurting because of what china is doing here is not really a group of currency it's just to stand out national currency running on a block train system so it's not really had to do currency as we have it in our mind you know not because i'm not if you have nothing just a local currency and not to. just very briefly given that china is so powerful is now good time to invest in cryptic currencies well as almost everybody has to decide on this earth himself because it's also very very risky s.p.c.s. volatility is high you can lose your because it's a one i'd like to be able to be
