country marked a second month in a row of declining industrial orders while leading economic research institute suggested growth why not last beyond the next two years they're forecasting an uptick in domestic demand for the autumn that will sustain stable growth of up to two percent until at least twenty twenty but after that well they're less optimistic this comes as figures also showed today a further decline of almost one percent in july and factory orders the experts had expected a strong rebound after nearly four percent plunge in june but increased demand and factors like an expected sixty billion euro government budget surplus should help compensate. right now we're joined by close of the deputy director at the center for macro economics and surveys good to have you with us today many concerns around the world not least when it comes to trade midst of all of our what does it mean if this current uptick this current positive cycle of economic growth comes to an end we have currently no indication that the long lasting expansion phase for the german economy to come to an end or don't we h

germany's leading economic research institute say the country can look forward to steady growth but only for the next two years in the autumn forecast out today they predict an uptick in domestic demand that will sustain stable growth of up to two percent through to at least twenty twenty after that they are more pessimistic for now growth will be sustained by factors like an expected sixty billion euro government budget so this . let's bring in only boss from frankfurt so is there not going to be no growth off the twenty twenty how bad are these figures really what's the markets. i think they're realistic fear here is i don't think that's something to depress the market or change the outlook here at all and people know it's very very hard to look even successfully in dependably and accurately into the next half year let alone into a period two years from now but there are a number of factors that can serve to dampen the outlook one is inflation it's picking up in the eurozone and it's certainly picking up in the united states and in many many a burgeoning countries it's very a lot of pr

i have got with me, from the chinese research institute, a state linked institution, one of the top thinke country, talking about the reaction is mrjiang shixue. first of all, i want to say, this is not good for china. at the same time, it's not good for the us either. if we look back over the past 20 or 30 years, you see every ten years, there will be something uncomfortable for the chinese economy from the outside. let's say, 1997, the so—called asian financial crisis. china came out in a nice way. ten years later, 2007, 2008, the so—called us sub—prime crisis, the so—called us sub—prime crisis, the international financial crisis. that was a little bit more support “ severe. that was a little bit more support —— severe. china came out of the crisis also in a nice way. ten years later, we will see this trade war. i am sure that china can deal with this trade war and compared with these two previous crisis, the current trade war is not so severe. not so severe right now but we are looking at $200 billion worth of chinese imports into the united states, possibly even more, if the trump adm

united states and in european allied countries and according to latest figures from the pew research institute support is at historic high level. the challenge to maintain the high and bipartisan support for nato. i think that's partly about showing that nato is important both when it comes to collected defense in europe deterring russia and any other potential adversaries -- adversary for attacking nato-allied country and nato can respond to threats and challenges, cyber and hybrid and nato is modernizing capabilities, cyber capabilities and responding to cyber threats and, of course, and the fight against terrorism. the fight against terrorism is not completely new challenge, it has been there for many years but nato is playing a key role both in our presence in afghanistan. the reason we are in afghanistan is to prevent afghanistan ever again becoming safe haven for national terrorists and many problems in afghanistan but at least you have prevented afghanistan from once again becoming platform for launching terrorist attacks against our own countries. now we are also starting training miss

now, that is according to a recent study by the pew research institute. about 52% of americans are middle class, that's town about 10% from 1971. an analysis finds the income gap between the well-to-do and lower and middle income families is the largest ever recorded. the median income for middle class households is about $58,000. upper income median, $175,000. >>> there is a very good chance you will owe taxes at the end of this year. a report by the government accountability office says taxes for 30 million americans, about 1 in 5, are being held -- or i should say, underheld by their employers. this follows a republican rewrite of the federal income tax code that put more money in the pocket of many employees, but come next year forany, the government is going to reach into those pockets and take some of that back out. the irs has a calculator showing how much should be withheld from your particular paycheck. i will post a link to that calculator. just go to the website and check it out. >> thanks, michael. >>> on to the weather and forecast for the ga
