before he became president donald trump was already critical. a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few like trump has called c.n.n. which is owned by time warner fake news this is why plans by the department of justice to sue eighteen t. to stop its acquisition of time warner a controversial but c.e.o. has said he will fight the u.s. government's suit in court there's been a lot of reporting and speculation whether this is all about c.n.n. and frankly i don't know but nobody should be surprised at the question keeps coming up because we witnessed such an abrupt change in the application of and i trust law here. so any agreement that results in us forfeiting control of c.n.n. whether directly or indirectly is a nonstarter the u.s.

has not seen such a high profile on thai trustees in decades already many are asking whether the lawsuit is about protecting consumers or political interference in america's press freedoms. a british low cost carrier easyjet says that annual net profit dropped by a thirty percent to three hundred forty four million at the end of its financial year in september due to tough competition and a slump the british pound but easyjet says things are changing as competitor ryan air is dropped flights and other rivals including monarch and air berlin are no longer in business easyjet says it will now be offering more flights at raising ticket prices to exploit its stronger grip on the market for some more analysis let's bring in our markets correspondent conrad who is in qana easyjet is i better times on their eyes in our investors rewarding this outlook.

a ten year high earlier today on global growth optimism but it doesn't look like investors in frankfurt are much of an upbeat mood. the german share market this morning pretty much unchanged you know the political uncertainty has the market really in its grip. with you know the a failed coalition talks in berlin today talked about how she preferred fresh elections to a potential minority government all this of course has the potential to weigh on business sentiment german industry german chamber of industry and commerce said that business is at the moment much less optimistic that they were than they were at the beginning of this year. in frankfurt thank you. how would you sell a pencil shouldn't be too hard right after all they're in demand from katmandu to

kinshasa but with protectionist tendencies on the rise doing business around the globe has become more difficult lately and changing standards and regulations are increasingly taking its toll on one of germany's oldest companies best known for its pencils and everything else you'd find on a well organized disc. compass says like this are often used for school design or technical applications the biggest components the arms made from metal that contains lead to some countries that's a problem. overnight south korea reclassified a compass from drawing a quick meant to a child's toy which isn't allowed to contain lead that's just one of the many measures countries have taken to restrict imports. a company like stuff which exports eighty percent of its products is directly affected by tactics like these. they're going up a little corner to me to. really tell if these are protectionist measures or if

there are regulations like standards for to change by the e.u. or if there are regulations from other countries sometimes it's hard to tell me you know why haven't we tried to react immediately to check overall materials and manufacturing processes so we can adjust to these things that he will haunt them for months of going to the heart of. the company was founded in one thousand thirty four and is now present in one hundred fifty countries. the c.e.o. is worried that that biggest market the u.s. will continue to isolate itself along with other countries. we're going to really begin some of the red carpet the entire world map is a marketplace that. we're seeing that in almost every region the non-tariff barriers to trade are increasingly. rising calculation there's a changing to make imports more difficult it's happening all over the world and imported to. the scene but i didn't hear of

a white. businesses getting tougher in the e.u. as well. this is a few limits of lead in pencils is being lowered even though you'd have to eat eighteen pencils a year to absorb the current limit. all appeals to regulators have been unsuccessful. distance is often blackens and sometimes. we have no other option but to adapt to the changing conditions that complex at that gets complicated. for trade and trade agreements getting terminated his ties to military as things get turned over to individual countries which makes them more time consuming to guns and expensive than to go and it's and because sometimes. the company doesn't want to walk away from any market but the increasing demands and higher g.t.s. in certain regions make the products more expensive for the consumer. and they won't pay higher prices to stop the products if domestic ones are significantly

cheaper. unemployment continues to be a major problem or all the world especially for people between the ages of fifteen and twenty four the latest benchmark a report by the international labor organization estimates that more than seventy million youth are jobless this year and that's an unemployment rate of over thirteen percent global youth unemployment peaks after the financial crisis in two thousand and nine it exceeded seventy five million but dropped steadily in subsequent years until it began creeping up again the ilo says it could hit seventy one million next year although europe as a whole is not suffering too badly young people in the south of the continent still often have few or no job perspectives and spain for example around one in three people under twenty five is unemployed moving on to your crane and why you would want to build a solar power plant in a region that gets an average less than four hours of sun a day is probably

a good question unless the region's name is true novel a place looking for a new lease on life after the nuclear catastrophe of nine hundred eighty six which helped put sustainable energy like solar on the map. there are few signs of life in the no go area surrounding the disaster site just an information center selling souvenirs and offering tours but a solar power park is now being built here the modules are going up in the thirty kilometer belt of wasteland that surrounds the old reactor a german ukrainian consortium is behind the project which is scheduled to go online in february it will supply significant amounts of clean power to the region. for comparison with this output you can energize approximately two thousand apartments this year as our pilot experiment for their power plant is planned in twenty sixteen we already built one with four megawatts on the belorussian side of

the chair noble zone so delusional was because of. the nearly four thousand modules in the a re will produce around a megawatt of electricity that's about half of what the nuclear power plant wants churned out and all with safety measures factored in the project will cost around a million dollars to complete then the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history will house a park for sustainable energy. and let's hope they get a bit more sunshine then our camera crew there well that's it you're up to date with the latest on the world of business for more find us on facebook or follow us on twitter we have more business news coming up in the next hour right now here's a look at the world markets.
