A new trade agreement with a night of states this week one that notably did not address u. S. President donald trump past complaints about a legit unfairness in terms of u. S. Japan trade on cars and auto parts the decision to accept some modest incremental progress for now leaves the auto issue to perhaps be revived in the future depending on the increasingly impulsive u. S. President here to situate that news and. The world is the car coach lauren fix welcome back lauren 1st thank you and yeah 1st on this many deal on trade thats sort of sets aside the 2 issues the japanese Prime Minister says the President Trump assured him that he will not carry out the threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on japanese exports to the u. S. But with mr trump becoming increasingly erratic you have to wonder how much that pledge is worth is this deal just pushing off a fight until later what is the new status quo on ottos between the u. S. And japan and how long will it hold. Well i think what were looking at is a negotiation were trying to get them to purchase more of our goods and services and in japan on the other side theres a 2. 5 percent tariff on all vehicles and auto parts coming into the u. S. You know we do have a very large percentage of our vehicles being sold here in the u. S. Are made by japanese auto makers some of which are built here in the u. S. And some of which are imported so one 3rd of the japanese tree is Auto Industry so its a very important industry to japan and it looks like that is going to stay in place that is section 232 of their agreement that theyre saying that this is not going to get touched and it looks like from what im hearing the auto motive portion will not be changed at all. So now theres an update on carlos gone the former c. E. O. Of nissan this week he was tangled up in the us by the f. C. C. And his trial in japan is still pending and his wife made some i raise in comments about the dark side of japan in relation to her husbands case so what got settled this week with the f. C. C. And did miss going point to an elephant in the room so to speak. Oh yes carol carol go and did have something to say it was really important noting how different executives were treated differently because carlos ghosn is not japanese he was treated to prison and hes not going to probably get a fair trial from what it looks like but when youre the c. E. O. And the same type of thing happened. I was told to step down so you know step down there was no prison time there was no additional penalties he just disappeared so obviously you can see theres 2 dramatically different treatments and this is an issue because carol go on is saying that of the money that 140000000. 00 that was not shared with shareholders and how it was spent he didnt get any of it so we dont know this again this looks to me and it looks to everyone ive talked to in the industry is a coup to get rid of carlos ghosn because he was trying to merge 3 car makers into one which would have made them a very powerful company but instead they disposed of him. And lauren in happier news on automaker partnerships toyota is reportedly going to increase their stake in subaru made a similar move to further develop their relationship with suzuki last month whats to yodas play here and what is the dynamic is there a dynamic sort of driving this little flurry of corporate Auto Alliances. Well when you have a corporate Auto Alliance what youre doing is saving money so toyota is substantially larger than subaru and suzuki but in sharing platforms with the power trains or technology it lowers the cost for everyone having a stake in subaru thats larger means that theyre going to have more profit margin allowing them to expand their line subarus done really well here in the u. S. Lately theyve had much expansion and on a global basis still there although they dont sell vehicles here in the u. S. They sell off road vehicles so youre going to see more profit margin and thats really what the bottom line is now back to the legal and regulatory beat b. M. W. Is reportedly ready to take a hard line and refuse settlement of tartus from the e. U. Antitrust authorities the regulators say that a circle 5 companies colluded to block cleaner technologies and besides b. M. W. They say audi dialer porsche and volkswagen were complicit smart to hold out. Well volkswagen is Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group encompasses Porsche Skoda c on a bunch of other brands that includes lamborghini but one of the things to note is that of the german Car Manufacturers b. M. W. Saying were not going to settle weve got a 1000000000 euros set aside and were going to try and fight this because the fact is they feel that they have not broken any of the laws and rules again this is going to take a long time to come out this is still from diesel vehicles that are being sold in the u. S. Some are still sold here but theyre still selling quite a bit of them in europe although people think that electric vehicles may be the answer theres no profit margin in it so b. M. W. Im sure would like to continue selling diesel vehicles and this is not going to get settled very quickly lauren fix the car coach thanks so much for joining us thank you. Despite the animosity and lack of progress at the trade where negotiations on an official macro level u. S. Firms are now taking matters into their own hands executives from the biggest u. S.

Swiss conglomerate nestle is being proactive in adding new procedures to testing the products it buys from suppliers after it found the weed killer glen for seat in some of the coffee beans or purchases archie correspondence or montoursville could joins us with the details. The Worlds LargestCoffee Company nestle is increasing checks on the coffee it buys now this comes after recent tests showed some countries coffee beans contained life a stay at levels that are close to the regulatory limit the new procedures go into effect on october 1st and as lee has already notified its indonesian and certain brazilian being suppliers the move will only be temporary that is until producing countries can correct their application of life to say. That they are all. He actively monitoring the chemical use and said this Monitoring Program has shown that in some green coffee lots chemical residue levels are close to limits of by and by regulations we are reinforcing our controls working with suppliers to ensure that our green coffee continues to meet regulations all around the world but these processes could further complicate global coffee trade flows brazil is also the largest exporter of soybeans in the world and has become heavily reliant on Agro Chemicals like to say this comes at a time when many countries around the world are looking to reduce our use of the herbicide or eliminate it completely these new test requirements are mostly for beans shipped from or into factories in europe australia and malaysia where legal limits of life a say are much lower than most other countries nestle said we are working with our members to reduce the use to meet europe requirements which is much stricter than most other countries including the United States this is all while thousands of people await trial here in the United States against monsanto alleging that the exposure to round up caused their cancer here are the countries looking to ban quote if they in the next few years germany which plans to ban the herbicide by the end of 2023 this is when the European Unions approval period for its use expires then is loved number who says that they will ban the chemical by january of 2021 now more than 400 towns in argentina have already banned life essay and australia has also has several cities and towns that have banned life is safe this is true of Many School Districts as well and in june of this year austria announces its plan to ban life is say within the next year now 8 out of 10 provinces in canada have some sort of restrictions on herbicides including say france also has plans to eliminate the weed killer by 2021 with limited exceptions. Now. So this is great and seeing this regulatory action finally kick in i recall being in colombia years ago and meeting with colombian compazine those who had just been seen their fields of water sources with this is there any consensus though among these regulators about what the level is beyond which its definitely on safe well there is no actual consensus even here in the United States of the thousands of people await their trials the e. P. A. Says that the levels are much lower and says that the oversight does not cause cancer while the World Health Organization says that life is a is probably causing these cancers so well have to wait and see how these trials and up in the coming months or years im sure that it will take. Our correspondents or months is to look at thanks for joining us getting. As the global macros look to be increasingly dismal quit the enthusiasm and hustlers remain unfazed this week volatility in the market short term when the real value is the network is growing boys hasher a transaction while you and wallet numbers all would have continued their upward trajectory this year and for all the naysayers out there looking at the Price Movement lets not forget that year to date because it has already doubled its price what other asset class has done that we caught up with legendary investor and pioneer of the cut the industry roger vera and singapore rogers the founder of bitcoin dot com and is absolutely relentless in his endeavor to promote the Widespread Adoption of big client as a means for Economic Freedom roger was a key figure of the big win for it in 2017 where he advocated to increase the number of transactions its leisure can process by increasing the block size limit the argument for this was to treat bitcoin as a transactional currency rather than just a Digital Investment this came to a head forcing the network to fork into bitcoin core and that coin cash with roger at the helm of bitcoin cash. Im sitting here as roger very chairman and c. E. O. Of make wine dot com is a pleasure to have you great to be here thanks so much so i think the 1st thing i want to ask you is how the hotshoe are going to hash words all done and over and now theres 2 versions of bitcoin theres the coin cash and decline core because the cash is the one thats most similar to the bitcoin that i got involved with back in 2011 the one that i was confident is going to get worldwide adoption and commerce and make the world a better place for everyone and thats why im busy promoting the clean cash today i wish the big point for people good luck with their coin but its not something thats interesting to me because its not useful in commerce the Payment Transactions are slow expensive an unreliable on b. B. C. Theyre fast cheap reliable and decline cash you dont have to be a Rocket Scientist or an economist to figure out which one of those 2 versions of bitcoin is going to be more popular in the long run and i hear that you guys are now moving into trading a big one cash derivatives. Weve started that process they havent gone live but we did launch our exchanges exchanged up because dot com. Just earlier this month so anybody anywhere in the world can trade a bunch of different crypto currency as with any other one but even more interesting than that we launched in june local dot decline dot com that lets anybody buy or sell because of cash for any Payment Method in any country with anyone with no k y c required for the coin dot com so it works in every country in the world for anyone any Payment Method thats a really big deal and i think a lot of people are real im aware that that exists a local topic where dot com is a real game changer hourly pay pay pal we chat duffel bags of cash at midnight any Payment Method in any country anywhere any amount local topic or dot com i know you love a clean house but you said that you like anything that works so what elsewhere i think theres a lot of coins out there that work but one of the things thats really important is the Network Effect and i think thats the only reason why bt still has the largest market cap is because it has this big Network Effect and its riding on its own coattails but if you look at bickley cash its Network Effect is growing every day and every weekend more more stuff is happening but i like dash i like the cash i like the coin i like anything that works ripples another fantastic one if it works or if its useful people are going to use it so look for the ones that are useful thats the one people are going to use and i are involved in a lot of projects which project i am most bullish on im most bullish about peer to peer electronic cash for the world thats what got me so excited back in 2007 when i entered the space and thats what im so excited about today because if you can unable to people to be able to frictionless least in the receive money with other people all over the planet youre increasing the amount of Economic Freedom in the world and here in singapore this is one of the most economically free countries in the world it became one of the most wealthy countries in the world because of that Economic Freedom so lets bring that Economic Freedom to the entire world through peer to peer electronic cash and i think the coin cash is the crypto currency that has the best shot at bringing the most Economic Freedom to the most people around the world and thats why im so excited about the coin cash today completely agree and that entire process was completely fractious and now its amazing how the 1st barrier to entry is to actually converting the fee on paper money into crypto currency in the 1st place and thats like one of the huge various entry how do you anticipate on a local topic or dot com any Payment Method in any. Country for any amount you can buy or sell big cash with it right now today check it out but some will and Still Holding the cash you have dont be the bad holder Holding Us Dollars or euros or that old traditional money going to your crypto currency today because it works better and if i have i have some paper bills in my pocket right now i cant send them to somebody else on the other side of the planet i can even send someone on the other side of town with cash i can literally send it from here to anyone anywhere on the planet for a 10th of a penny instantly just like that with with no permission required from anybody so right now in the u. S. Cracking down on the regulatory do you see them falling behind in the global scale in terms of technology and tech and everything and whats your opinion about that the u. S. Is falling behind on everything the more friction you put in place to progress the less progress youre going to have in the u. S. Is doing a really good job of putting up all these barriers to the advancement of human kind and thats why were seeing so much stuff happening outside of the u. S. More and more and it breaks my heart to say that as someone whos born and grew up in the heart of Silicon Valley man if you make things difficult for people to do things and unless it is you know some massive exodus where which country to do what you want to do i wish i could say that there is one promise land where everybody can go and do anything thats peaceful that country doesnt exist yet but lots of countries have lots of things going for them and of course singapore is one of the ones thats one of the most economically free countries when it comes to financial things and businesses but man dont have any chewing gum here or dont try smoking a joint youre in a world of a world of trouble whereas in california you can chew as much gum and smoke as much dope as you want but if you try and start a business doing those things theres going to be all sorts of red tape in regards to it so i guess you have to figure out the things that youre most interested in your own personal life and then figure out the part of the world that suits your needs and your wants the best and move there. Where you what are you working on next im really really excited about bitcoin cash based tokens you can basically have tokens on the big chain that function like anonymous player shares that are able to receive dividends thats amazing in the history weve had Dividend Payments and weve had anonymous fair share and i dont think in all of human has. Weve ever had anonymous bear shares that were able to collect dividends that now exist on big point cash and so its a really really really big deal thats amazing and one of the big one of the big criticisms against that was actually the security aspect of it that it somehow makes a token lesser care but you have to say about that i think security token meaning like Financial Security and security is in security from hacker exactly are 2 Different Things my advice to everybody is hold your own private keep yourself keep your crypto currency yourself and then youre at nobodys mercy but your own and the big dot com wall of course is a fantastic way to do it but thats true in any case if youre using an exchange its ok but put your money you can trade draw your money back to your own wallet what you control the coins yourself and thats good advice and all these big hackings weve heard about in the cryptocurrency ecosystem in the past those only happen when people are trusting their coins with somebody else if youre holding your coins yourself youre much much much safer against those sorts of things your passion is astounding i love it roger very thank you so much bank manager. That defines a c n x time. And then 10 years since cross started to 10 years i think its time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what ive been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island experts for truth what do you think ok a more affordable option 25 text for.
