Status which is help the city become a Financial Center the Chinese Government was quick to condemn the u. S. Legislation and is threatening to retaliate what it sees as blatant hedge many. Into the u. S. Signing of the socalled hong kong human rights and democracy add into law seriously interferes with Hong Kong Affairs it seriously interferes in chinas Eternal Affairs and seriously violates International Law and basically norms of International Relations its a naked act ive had many. Interim social. With the us in china struggling to nail down a new free trade deal stock markets were spooked by the flare up of anger but some analysts are not certain that diplomatic fallout will endanger the talks. Ive heard some commentators people in china think that hong kong is no card that the u. S. Is going to play in trade negotiations and i dont believe that to be the case its not something that the u. S. Can you know give or take away so its really not a good its not a good card. There is say washingtons protracted silence on hong kongs protests was already a sign that the prodemocracy movement is a factor in the trade talks and that it completed trade deal remains a top priority. Well resident china watch a clip of cool but joins me in the studio now cliff makes a phase one trade deal less likely does it i think it probably does weve seen how its the angry reaction you know naked act of had germany and theyre very very angry about this pretty strong words yeah yeah so certainly from the verbal on the verbal side theyre very very angry but its just a question of how that actually translates into things though i mean theres a lot of pragmatism at work here too and the politics is very important to the Chinese Government and the often will public will trump the can all mix so its basically. Going to be their focus so it could definitely get in the way the hong kong chief executive has also commented on the lets lets just listen and briefly. Move away from the one country 2 systems principle pretty fortysomething. Christian home. Supporters do not. So he said he does not expect to see the need to move away from the one country 2 systems principle what exactly is he saying that well hes saying that they will respect the basic law america doesnt need to worry about anything but its just a question of whether or not whether thats going to have an impact on the demonstrators on the streets is the big question and that will eventually. Trade into the. Convert into what it will convert into during the trade talks. This whole thing i mean the decision by donald trump to sign into law this this law its seems like part of a trend it seems more most countries seem to apply more rigorous moral stand as ethical standards in terms of who they trade with do you see that thats right i mean ethics seems to become a an investment point now weve seen in the in a lot of Different Cases this week we had reports machine jiang about the coms for the week or is there a. Slog and which as a plant there was also came under fire so its clearly becoming an issue now used to be that people were able to seemingly separate the 2 but i think its becoming harder and harder now i mean we even saw with trump himself he was trying to play both sides by so the saying hes my you know hes a very good friend of mine while at the same same time supporting the protesters so i think its definitely becoming an issue no business with trump seems to be keen to keeping the trade will going to booze profiting from this yeah i mean hes you know as he always says himself you know theyre getting the revenues from the tower of some things that. He certainly seems to suit them its a question of whether this would politically be an issue for him because theyre saying that it is his in the heartlands in america when the agricultural side so maybe he could face political pressures or find a deal as well do you see the protests in hong kong stopping anytime soon i think this is kind of a turning point but its still very difficult to see a timetable its certainly wait to see now how this chinese anger plays out on what it what it actually turns into if it turns into anything concrete regarding hong kong still a very volatile situation to fit couldnt there are resident china want to thank you very much live.

Bring in only bards are fanatical as one of in frankfurt who has been witness to many takeovers and takeover of terms over the years covering the stock market does changing the rules for non e. U. Bidders make any sense. Well if you come from the bases that. The German Government are coming from yes tightening the rules lowering the threshold from 25 to 10 percent does make sense but it begs the question of course why 10 percent why not 3 percent or 5 percent or 2 percent or no percent after all we know from all these takeover attempts in the past that you can influence Company Policy with as little as 3 percent it sounds like not very much but 3 percent or 5 percent that can bring major influence to socalled activist investors and they can cause executives to be fired product line ups to be changed and companies to be bought or sold this whole issue raises different questions always well what if theres no german money to inject into important areas like robotics and Artificial Intelligence what do you do then then you have to loosen of course in order that germany has these important technologies developing here on the soil well advanced in france with thank you.

People getting older which is good news but when societies age the need for medical care rises and that can become a problem germany is a case in point a country faces and the alarming shortage of qualified nurses thats why the government has introduced a scheme called professionals in germany to attract suitable personnel from abroad and that number is one of the key hunting grounds for future nurses and caris. Its monday morning in the neurological ward at the Rostock University hospital. And the 2 apprentices to do and t.

Vanished i had during my training in vietnam i gave injections are put in trips but washing patients or giving them food was done by other workers.

But a challenge is the mentality words like yes and no dont have the same meaning in vietnam as they do in germany. Its not to me this is to some extent problematic in terms of the manuals because when there are work assignments and the question is asked do you understand the vietnamese trainees are likely to say yes because they understood the meaning but perhaps not the content of the question this was the start home of. Guns to know. Co workers have adjusted to this after all their workers from over 40 nations in the clinic.
