a new path. it's restricting the use of facial recognition technology by the local government. it's psychologically unhealthy when people know they're being watching every aspect of the public realm out on the streets in parks that's not the kind of city i will ever give this as the difference whether the technology can still be used by the u.s. federal government and private businesses in san francisco. facial recognition technology is already in use the world over at airports on social media at sporting events and even in smartphones. big players like amazon facebook and i.b.m. make billions helping both private companies and governments utilize their software to $4000000000.00 industries expected to quadruple in size over the next decade. here in berlin the german government has started experimenting with the technology at public train stations after a terror attack at

you about car tariffs the u.s. saying today that it will postpone a decision on whether to raise import tariffs on foreign cars the 6 months 6 month delay rather is a relief of course for autumn automakers in europe and japan particular who feared a 25 percent tax president trump has dangled new tariffs of course as the u.s. negotiates trade deals with japan and the european union so yes wall street i gather was pretty happy to get this news today wasn't it. you you could certainly say so we started the day on the down side to and then when news broke that the u.s. president on from probably not going to impose those tariffs any time soon we saw a huge turnaround in the markets we also by the way had us comment you effect there as trading to the upside but also if you look at the broader scheme of things it might show that us president to donald trump has learned a lesson specially after this huge market drop on monday that deescalation was all

excitable last year they failed to act lawmakers pressed no will on the federal aviation authorities reliance on boeing employees during the plane certification with. stories we've heard about the process of certification so far troubling. the guiding principle of the f.a.a. and manufacturers must be safety not getting a highly valued plane out more quickly investigators have zeroed in on the planes and the stall system as the cause of the lion air crash in october and the ethiopian airlines disaster in march that together killed $346.00 people last year inspectors with the federal aviation administration discovered that the manufacturer had deactivated a signal designed to advise the pilots of a mill function in the system fended off criticism that the f.a.a.

a bit over $600.00 euros plus lunch money that's not much when you consider that tourists spend a lot here on the buses could easily share a bit more of it around. but that's what the socialists think as well something which could give them an election win this year they just have to approach it like the surface touch the perfect wave and ride it as long as it rolls. and that's it from me in the business. these and other business stories find us a line of. business and. watch. some
