that is certainly something that to my colleague at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel corp was listening to very closely daniel why is now such a good time to liberalize the chinese market. while i feel monica that this again has to do a lot with donald trump and his latest politics because of course china has had this impaired for image for a long time to do very difficult to be very difficult when it comes to foreign investors and i do feel that they are just that they just waited for the moment you know at the time you know when they are saying well basically forget all the commons that we have made in the past investors do have the feeling at the moment it is rather difficult to do business with the united states because of all this protectionism forget everything what we have done in the past and now it's time to do business with china and i think that's why we are seeing those changes and those comments ok so if now is the time to do business with china we're so far what were the biggest hurdles for foreign investors in china. well there were many challenges that are investors were

let's talk about this with danielle corp our financial correspondent who joins us from frankfurt daniel will the brits pay that huge exit bill. well this is a very interesting question and i don't know maybe you also have this image you know one night maybe to reason may's sitting at home opening her online banking account and then you know making this transfer of fifty billion euros of course that's not even what they're talking about because i was reading a statement a little bit earlier the charming thing behind is that at the end they don't even pay this amount in total it's more about all the commitments that the u.k. has made in the past with the european union and we are talking for example about retirement or other you know financial agreements that were made in the past the u.k. saves in the past i don't see any reason to pay for this dirty divorce now it seems at least that they have changed their mind about this so if we get a financial deal before the end of the year where will it put the overall negotiations would you say. well it certainly would speed up those very slow ne

let's find out what the experts in germany's financial hub are thinking of it all daniel corp is joining me now from the franklin stock exchange daniel which policies poses the biggest threat to the global economy you think. monica i was one of a little bit earlier how many times i have already said during this year that chair prices here at the stock market in frankfurt or around the world have been falling because of commons you know made by donald trump and this is actually what investors are mostly criticizing as well that pretty much everything what he's doing is so unpredictable one careless tweet can result into a landslide off of the stock market so that's the biggest concern from the trading perspective when you talk to you know experts as well they're saying that mostly countries such as canada and mexico are affected right now because of this still ongoing nafta agreement so yeah it's a pretty big.

thank you nevertheless daniel corp in frankfurt for bringing us up to speed. and we're turning our attention now to u.s. president donald trump who has begun a twelve day tour through asia it is his first trip to the region since he pulled the u.s. out of the trans pacific partnership in short p.p. in tokyo trump criticized us japan trade relations which he called not fair open now in south korea his next stop the future of the five year old to a bilateral u.s. south korean free trade deal hangs in the balance donald trump has called it a job killing horrible deal china then the world's second most powerful economy after the u.s. is now rushing in to be seen as a promoter of open markets that as donald trump pushes america first and to do in the asia pacific economic cooperation summit in vietnam donald trump will give a speech presenting the united states' vision for what he calls a free and open indo-pacific region finally in the philippines donald trump will attend the association of southeast asian nations summit and meet with philippine president rodrigue

now and that is certainly something that to my colleague at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel corp was listening to very closely daniel weiss now such a good time to liberalize the chinese market. well i feel monica that this again has to do a lot with donald trump and his latest politics because of course china has had this impact for image for a long time to do very difficult to be very difficult when it comes to foreign investors and i do feel that they are just that they just waited for the moment you know at this time you know when they are saying well basically forget all the comments that we have made in the past investors do have the feeling at the moment it is rather difficult to do business with the united states because of all this protectionism forget everything what we have done in the past now it's time to do business with china and i think that's why we are seeing those changes in those comments ok so if now is the time to do business with china was so far what were the biggest hurdles for foreign investors in china while there were many challenges that are investors

but for some more analysis let's cross over to our financial correspondent daniel corp and frankford daniel german retailer say black friday accounts for an extra one point one billion euros in revenue put this figure into perspective for well one point one billion euros of course sounds like a lot of money but when you look at the entire year of two thousand and seventeen it has estimated that retailers here in germany will make a total of about five hundred billion to your also of course this is kind of a small figures but experts are calling black friday already important here what they actually consider as even more important is that they're really seeing that the consumer behavior here in germany and in europe has really changed used to be the case that the biggest christmas. shopping time was at the beginning off december pretty much in the first two weeks now with this high of off black friday and they're telling me now that it has shifted to the end of a no event so yes it's an important day here for the shops in germany then you're for a couple of years now black friday has b

building what faster internet access let's get the view from the frankfurt stock exchange where daniel corp is standing by for danielle so that it's official there isn't enough cash for a bigger investment will we see any. yeah those were very much appreciated by investors here at the trading floor more money more room for investments less taxes but of course there's a certain limit we heard chancellor angela merkel also stating that she wants kind of a mix of reforms and new investments and of course there are limits right now they are trying to form this new government and we already heard in the past that those new investment the new government wants to do could be up to an amount of one hundred billion euros but according to american they're only thirty billion euros available tomorrow there's going to be a very interesting day because the german government will receive the annual tax report they are going to know how much money how much taxes they will receive from it even individuals and companies so this is going to be really interesting and a very good indication what's going to hap

mean a hard breaks it is almost inevitable and that is something i would like to discuss with danielle corp our man in frankfurt. so we now know that britain will officially happen at eleven pm one hour before midnight on friday the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen. first of all what exactly will change when the bell rings eleven. well i think this really all depends about those future talks where you know you just mentioned. that britain really needs to come with a plan also how they want to finance the bill because so much uncertainty is happening at the moment we are getting also worse there was a research paper actually released today that germany could be in the position of having to pay a much more money after that is really in place where you remember that every country in the european union pays a certain amount of the european union every year and the u.k. has been so far the third biggest payer with about ten point two billion euros paying every year so now of course there's the question who is going to pay this money in the future and there are those speculation th

only a minority of experts believe his economic policies are harmful our financial correspondent daniel corp has this analysis. i have you know already told you during this year that chair prices have been falling because of comments made by donald trump and this is really what investors are calling a dangerous they are considering donald trump as a politician who was very unpredictable just one of his sometimes very careless tweets can result into a massive landslide at stock markets all around the world some investors here even told me that they have an apple alerting them i want ever he's sending one office very controversial trees so that this together with all the promises that he has not been really fulfilling in the last time is really being considered hears doing bad business. well business later including why a heated debate over gas is flaring up in nigeria thanks so much danielle and we have got some sad news for german soccer now legendary player hans schaefer has died she was part of the year germany team that won the one nine hundred fifty four world cup beating hungary in the

well investors really seem to corp non now stupid coin our financial correspondent daniel korb joins us now from the frankfurt stock exchange donna how important is that ten thousand mark for the market. or the ten thousand dollar mark is for traders more like a psychological mark but in general when you talk to them they are telling me that for professional traders bitcoin is really becoming very interesting as an alternative to invest their money in traditional stocks and also with the zero percent interest rate you're not getting anything when you just put your money aside true and bank account the relator is rarely we are seeing though is because of rumors that the bitcoin already could be traded this year at the very well recognize u.s. stock exchange c m e's if this would be the case access for investors to bitcoins would be even easier and they would have the opportunity to bet on falling and rising shares. you don't know where where's the limit here is john mcafee this is just crazy when he predicts five hundred thousand. i mean five hundred thousand sounds like a lot of mone

corps command in less than a year. and the other man who seemed to be in hooker's special affections was a man named daniel sickles, another non-professional soldier who had risen rapidly and commanded under hooker the third corps. but generally the army itself neither cheered nor complained. everybody appears entirely indifferent to the matter, one soldier said. heros of many defeats, we are not inclined to give confidence to anyone. unlike the army of northern virginia which identified wholly with robert e. lee, the army of the potomac ultimately identified with itself. one wag from new york -- most of them are from new york -- wrote after hooker's appointment when a man is hauling a heavy load up a hill, he has no time to swap and stop jackasses. [ laughter ]. >> so there was hope, cautious, but there was still the question of the army itself. to hooker's credit, he gave the most intention to those things he could effect. he instituted reforms. he attended to the physical condition of his troops. jonathan letterman, one of the most important figures in military history, instituted a series of physical improvements to th

corps. joining us now, former u.s. ambassador to the organization for security and cooperation in europe under president barack obama and current diplomat in residence at the university of denver school of international studies, danielsenator corker save the state department? quote, it's difficult to overstate how demonstrating this hemorrhaging of talent is for american security. not just for this year or next but for the coming decades. when this horrible chapter is over, we won't be able to just recreate diplomats with 25 years of experience. there is no grad school that gives you that qualification. i could not agree with your concerns more. >> mr. ambassador, i'd ask tom brokaw earlier how would this administration even put forward a treaty or a trade bill when the president goes on a foreign trip when you don't have any people in the state department putting that together. this is not something that you can do in an afternoon. it's something that takes month, sometimes years. >> that's exactly right, joe. i mean, that was the folly in president trump's statement last week that he's the only one that matters, or the week before last. much of what we see celebrated when the president signs something, usually tho
