a temporary basis critics say promotes wage on the cutting. equal pay for the same work in the same country the ruling pertains to all employees in the european union being sent from one country to another for example if a construction worker from warsaw is sent by his polish company to germany he has the right to earn at least german minimum wage in the future he'll receive the same money as his german colleagues including the usual benefits that's according to the european commission legal initiative the previous so-called poster workers act was from the year nine hundred ninety six when the e.u. only had fifteen member states there was a pay gap of one to three the law was meant to bring payment parity then eastern european countries became member states now the e.u. is much larger the pay gap to its now at one to ten that means workers in luxemburg earn ten times more than those in bulgaria no wonder the posting of workers is

increasing in twenty ten it was already one point three million people twenty fourteen already one point nine million an increase of almost forty five percent germany france and belgium are the country. which of the most foreign workers from other e.u. countries most of them come from eastern europe most workers that came to germany in twenty fourteen were from poland at thirty six point five percent slovenia at twelve point one percent and hungary had eight point nine percent one in three works in construction one in five in industry and one in ten in the health care or senior care branch their working conditions should now improve. now clouds are continuing to gather over germany's call industry here p n commission in brussels announced that even more raids on offices will be carried out on german comic saying it will be looking for evidence that they may have violated anti trust

rules dima v.w. have confirmed they were targeted by raids investigate his visited b.m.w. offices back on friday now the raids are aimed at uncovering evidence of a secret cartel that may have legally discussed industry emission controls and standards since the one nine hundred ninety s. we can get more detail on this now with our financial correspondent daniel corp who is in frankfurt for us daniel of course these a big name call make is that big on the blue chip dax so what's the reaction to this piece of news where you are. a big carmakers all a city in the blue chip in the execs who have lost and we remember the diesel gate scandal already billions of euros because of all those scandals in the past when you talk about today's trading day we don't really see a big impact so far on the shares b.m.w. and dime those shares were dropping after this news not really dramatically of those walks flying shares are even with a big plus at the moment it seems that investors at the moment are kind of used to

those scandals in other news the brig's it double speak goes on prime minister theresa may claiming progress and yet in brussels a little sign of a deal who do invest is trust. well certainly in not to resign me at the end of the day we again have to commons first from hers saying that at the end it's going to be a good deal for pretty much everybody then early also we heard boris johnson saying that he wants bracks that to be more flexible which of course means that he things that the u.k. might need more time at the end investors are kind of rolling with their eyes they want answers final answers regarding the rexx of bill final answers regarding the rights of european citizens in the united kingdom of course also regarding to northern ireland all those uncertainty is really making investors believe that is the end we're going to see a very hard bricks it done you're cool in frankfurt thank you very much indeed.

sharing economy is changing the face of how we do business new schemes popping up time in their founded on the philosophy that it's more efficient not to actually own something especially big ticket items like cars or bikes if you can access them easily whenever you want now that's the theory at least unfortunately as that australia is finding out implementing it sharing schemes can be a little bit more complicated than you might think. it seemed like such a great idea at the time cutting down on emissions and traffic hoping people keep in shape but shared bicycle schemes in sydney and melbourne aren't quite working out as host the problem bikes known litter the cityscape because a lack of bike racks means users are just leaving them pretty much everywhere. there are things for why the price up to use is an uncontrolled plea for a share of the mean streets i worry about than any up on the road or any up in the

tree or any about in a skip bin they already are and in local waterways as well many have been fished out of melbourne's yarra river the bike tire providers are scrambling to find a solution but when we see the bikes being made into a particular location more often. teams are going out there in a regular basis and redeploying them to a.v. is where will we call this hotch potch but it looks like the only way to make the schemes work long term will be to get the authorities involved we need. governments state governments in particular to step up to the plight but also like governments to put in place the cycle facilities including bike racks and places where people can be clear that they can safely store the boss it goes until that happens the residents of melbourne and sydney will just have to cope with an inconvenient side effect of the sharing economy. here in

germany organic food is all the rage which means so too is organic farming it now accounts for more than six percent of farmland in the country while the united nations says that growing organic produce could be a lucrative export opportunity for africa and like anything it's a skill it can be tools we caught up with a young woman from cameroon who spent a year at a no ghana dairy fun. he will call a nun go and her colleague are setting up the livestock fences again rain or shine it has to be done the grazing cows have to be moved regularly or they'll destroy the pastor's that's something the twenty four year old has learned here. in cameroon we just use the cyclist's now we don't know that it's time to regenerate its fertility but it holds up in the train farmer has been volunteering here for a year driving the tractor took

a bit of getting used to it first and she was amazed to discover that the fences around the animals are electrified also like oh my god because i'm going to die if they're here that targeted their codepoints a day but then i learned that the voltage is not so high for the cult or die but that is just enough to keep the costs from running away although the cows don't seem exactly eager to leave anytime soon in fact they look quite content with their lot it will colo likes the idea of dividing a pasture into smaller areas and rotating the livestock through them she hopes to convince farmers in cameroon to do the same. yeah in germany i've learned so much about caring for natural resources over it's i think that is enough experience for me to think back home and share with you in spite of all the positive experiences there were some things she doesn't like at all even on organic farms calves are

separated from their mothers shortly after birth and housed in separate pens in cameroon they grow up in the herd in the fries a song comes with its own does of entities like this like having color so you know year in year out in the bun so when i go back i will like to you know share my own ideas about balancing both like balancing industrialization as well as taking care of the animals and making sure we are in the natural habitat. able kolo none go believes her country cameroon should get away from food imports she is convinced just because it's from the e.u. doesn't necessarily mean it's organic or healthy instead the cameroonians should rely on their own agricultural products. and abundance bankruptcy has left more than a few passengers stranded it is safe to say but it's not just the airlines customers don't go in any way won all the planes isn't ada it's been impounded keflavik
