president of the german institute of global an area studies joins us a greater knowledge. the timing of all of this is extremely interesting is trump using this to influence domestic policy in other words rate cuts. that's an interesting question i would say that's probably not as game plan the game plan really is a bring about a structural change in the chinese economy to make it trade more with the u.s. maybe abiding little bit by the rules and also there are serious questions of economics so there are bigger issues at stake. and i would say it's probably not namely about the interest rates but is it going about it the right way. not hard and not at all and so we've already seen that the carrots that have been placed the last set of carrots that have been in place have been quite costly for american producers and this latest tranche is going to be very expensive for american consumers because they are going to hate. consumer goods like laptops like clothing like foot footwear and so forth. additionally the problem is that of course china is not going to take this lying d

to find out whether it is or not i spoke to marcel foster he is the chief of the influential german institute for economic research and i asked him how bad the contraction really is and how much of it is homemade. we're likely to have a nother quarter of negative growth germany's probably in a technical recession but it's no reason to panic the structure of the german economy is sound we have companies that are competitive that have high earnings we have a very strong labor market with record employment and we have a strong government with significant fiscal surpluses so the problem really comes from global trade which has been contracting by 8 percent over the last year germany's economic model depends on trade so this is the result of the global crisis from a trade conflict from uncertainty about bric said about italy about geopolitical conflicts so we should really not panic the german economy is fundamentally sound so you're saying there is nothing obvious is on there i don't think this is a homemade slowdown germany has challenges in the long run to make the transformation from industry

who is the director of the german economic institute a think tank economic think tank based in berlin. originally wanted to talk about the rather disappointing factual to figures coming from germany but today if we're looking at the bigger picture we're just looking at markets in asia that down across the board over the china u.s. trade conflict that is again. getting was how breaks it has become more likely in japan and south korea we've just heard it it's other throat the situation over caution in india is potentially very dangerous. if we look at all those hot spots we headed for a real crash here we are looking for a recession behind the corner it seems so and you mention that we have more negative stories and good stories the bad stories are coming from politics as well as in dudgeon as economic growth aspects so we see that overall we have a slowdown the slowdown in germany and europe again and the beginning of 2800 should never forget the highest the peak in all these economic center mandan all the statistics we had in turn from 2 and 70 to 18 since then a slowdown and really r

so we have this german institute which is like osmium is rare and can be made beautiful.et on it. so we get on him as he tries to pitch his osmium. jason: we spoke with reporter austin carr. carol: who traveled to nevada to meet with an entrepreneur who is betting big on the element that could disrupt the diamond industry. >> there is a wizard behind the story, a crazy german guy. i thought it was a fake name at the beginning. he has been working on what we described as alchemizing one of the most precious metals on earth and making it into the next generation diamond. i don't know what you guys wear, but hopefully if you are wearing diamonds, he thinks that market will go kaput and his bet is to replace it with osmium. jason: who is he? >> he has a unique past. he describes himself as everything from a rockabilly singer to a serial entrepreneur to someone who has started 14 ventures. everything from an electric car company to an online tv company. he grew up in germany and have his long career in the business space but eventually got interested in commodities and got inv

german institutional investors are not mandated but have to buy highly liquid bonds and they have a homell continue to be buyers. that combination will probably keep demand reasonably high, at least as high as it has been. that is taking us to record low yields already. francine: germany selling the 30 zero point -- minus zero point 10. richard: i think the ecb will cut right and reinstate qe. even through reinvestment, we will get one third of german bond issuance ending up with the bund's bank. it is entered -- bund's bank. -- bundesbank. scarlet: buyers are the same ones who have driven the yields to record lows. are there overseas investors putting money into german bonds? richard: there probably are, but you are looking at the more domestic investors, central banks and local german institutional investors as the main buyers. that makes more sense. it is difficult to take on the fx risk and negative yield as a foreign investor. there will be foreign demand for safe havens but mostly by german domestics. scarlet: richard jones, thank you so much. bondny selling the 30 year at -.011%.

it's now the german archaeological institute. it's essentially a homecoming after a very eventful century and see. now that i'm living here i'd really like to somehow retrieve this grave for us for our family and also for my son. it's just very important for me to rectify things. because if he does. we don't know means of doing. daniel hope's great great grandfather your spot in team had the grave site built for the whole family. but then his children had to flee from the nazis and their places in the cemetery remained empty. you. know daniel's parents were born in south africa he and his brother jasper were also born there. but the family a bunch of he had to leave and in 1905 moved to london where daniel and his brother spent their entire childhood. i didn't want my children growing up in this society. christopher and i both felt that we couldn't continue there any longer and really would have done anything to get out politically it had become unacceptable when we lived in durban the telephone was very obviously tapped we had t
