kinshasa but with protections tendencies on the rise during business around the globe has become more difficult recently and changing standards and regulations are increasingly taking their toll on one of germany's oldest companies best known for its pencils crayons and anything else you find in a well organized esque. compass says like this are often used for school design or technical applications the biggest components the arms are made from metal that contains lead to some countries that's a problem. overnight south korea reclassified a compass from drawing equipment 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 to not really need to. really tell if these are protectionist measures or
7:13 pm
if their regulations like standards are to change by the e.u. or if there are regulations from other countries and sometimes it's hard to tell you know why we try to react immediately to check overall materials and manufacturing processes so we can adjust to these things very well for months of going to the heart of. the company was founded in eight hundred 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 can really get some debate caught in the entire world map there's 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 sort of. the same i didn't hear of

7:21 pm
ghana. fifteen years ago she moved to decide or she worked there as a cleaning lady and sent her savings to ghana to build an orphanage. she looked for sponsors and donations and founded the organization african angel. for a long time the children and students didn't know that harriet had to scrub toilets and dusseldorf to finance their education that came as a surprise. with. humility at that because if someone like me. it's this humble and pleased to get money to cater for. me i have no reason. to see a million and that applies to all of us. if i didn't know what to say because
7:22 pm
i wasn't going to school and for three months a clean toilet just to. i was really happy i. i didn't know what to tell him i wasn't going to school or no where to go and just so i had that chance to go to school or. one of the students mary comes from to come up for neighborhood in the canadian capital. her parents were unemployed and unable to take care of her. to prevent the girls from entering prostitution and the boys from living on the street harriet brought them to the orphanage. for a long time harriet kept silent about her sacrifices she just one of the children to get on in life and contribute to their country's development of the. industrial
7:23 pm
countries and just did they were kids. there when they take it to whether they really need to that's a switch they can really have great impact on the society from where they're coming from from my primary and back to guyana improve the conditions assist somebody help somebody yes everybody is complaining everybody is talking about this is there and this is then so if you have the opportunity i think i should in the softer subducted i've got education i've got knowledge i have something to do with my home and so i go back home i have couple of businesses in my mind already yeah i want to become a big and to bring you know. one of james's business ideas came from the finest chocolate here in ukraine. he loves the beautifully packed prelims and dreams of opening a shop like this in his homeland. where do
7:24 pm
you can get this chocolate from when you begin to cook you from. probably from guyana. yeah from government so if we can produce it there then. we have we help the country's economy. we're going to have cocoa we have sugar we have all the fruits and then you can make this one thing but the flavors to its core by you add something like pineapple something like apple something like banana something like hope or to give you different flavors to. the young people have learned a lot in ukraine. they enjoy the market banter and the vendors who appreciate their company are happy to reward their haggling with good prices and even the present. harriet's days cleaning toilets are long gone. she now manages the
7:25 pm
african angel organization. she's delighted to see how well the children have turned out. for easy steps to end their independence they're confident they have chances and i think if you do this they know exactly what to expect that makes me happy and proud no one can push them around and wish me luck i know exactly what they want even going over the. next year james and richard are said to be the first in the group to graduate. and they'll always be grateful to harriet for giving them such a great start in life. that. they. may be a notion that. what can be done when the highly skilled of a country move abroad taking that knowledge with them according to recent statistics brain drain robs africa of as many as one third of its professionals
7:26 pm
each year on their talents a solely missed. bridge the skills gap africa's institutions recruit professionals from abroad including scientists and jenny is. one of which costs the continent four billion u.s. dollars each year. and yet very few highly skilled africans are returning home. sign chela monday is sometimes amazed by what he's managed to achieve the architect has just won a contract to design this hospital in his home country of malawi one of the world's poorest nations sixteen years ago he left malawi for england he couldn't imagine a future for himself here. malawi's quite a challenging country in terms of economy and business when you're brimming big.
7:27 pm
to do big projects. on a loan from the bank it's almost like impossible while the interest rates are so high so huge. in my case what i've done is like. back in malawi a sign founded his own company in a rundown industrial area of long way. and he ran a photocopy service. the business was a success despite the fact that half of malawi's population lives on less than a dollar a day side began printing t. shirts and then got his first major contracts with a profit he set up his own architecture firm. my own still developing so there are some things that. in us or in your case. it is the doing that maybe it's for the past seven or ten years but if you bring them home you might be
7:28 pm
a new thing and mad that might be a new business idea. this is a gin see in johannesburg south africa helps africans return after studying abroad it has a database of highly qualified africans who've gone overseas its clients are african companies that are looking for well qualified employees who know the continent well nearly three quarters of african graduates work abroad. angel jones says her agency has brought back around a thousand people though the reason for returning often extends beyond the promise of a good job. when i get up. every morning when i get up i sit. for both the candidate and angel there's a lot more going on here than just a business. business on the continent in africa it's
7:29 pm
a lot about relationships relationships relationships so they want somebody who might not be international and have been there for ten years but they've still got those key people on the continent you've got those relationships business development retail market for all of those different things. shelton says he is someone that has these kind of contacts and a good job as an engineer but when he travels by taxi through zimbabwe's capital harare he's clear about why he wants to leave the country zimbabwe is in a financial crisis and those who get the chance to leave usually do so. there are a pot holes everywhere even here in the capital and in the city suburbs money is exchanged state to bench years are now the new currency though many shops only accept u.s. dollars i don't live on a from a so far away from my children yeah when i look at the education standards in
7:30 pm
zimbabwe quite bad in this a lot of that i guess right now with the situation in zimbabwe it's just like almost like into mark. shelton is one of zimbabwe's well educated young middle class he says his country is in a mess he's been planning to leave for months many of his former colleagues have already gone and while he and his wife and their two sons lead a relatively good life here they dream of more ideally they'd like to move to australia but they have also considered canada or germany. the senate is a good make provision. i'm able to save. the figure that i would be able to save. then that means i'll be able to sit in for maine for investment for my children and in the same time i will be able to if there are opportunities i'll be able to start my own business shelton says he can't
7:31 pm
see any chance of that happening in zimbabwe he says no agency in the world could convince him to stay or even return later in life. architect's mundo on the other hand says returning to malawi has definitely been worth it for him and he says he didn't need an agency to convince him to return home. it was his wife joan who gave him the courage to come back when he left for england she chose to remain in malawi people have been killed by what he's doing so they were getting paid their families are being supported because of what the story had been he was there i think all these people who are waking and to him i don't know. yeah. joan and sign are sure their future minds in malawi and they believe that ultimately it's africans themselves who will make

farming families have joined together to form a co-operative. growth protected in the middle of the rain forest that's one of the most important prerequisites for getting organic certification. deforestation artificial fertiliser and insecticides aren't allowed. that's what organic looks like here. these leaves work as fertilizer. for the wolf roosevelt zero cost are used to cut down the forests to grow rice and conserver and to harvest the hearts of the sie palm but he didn't earn much he got about thirty euro cents for a palm heart for a cluster of organic he gets five times as much. so we only chop down the tallest palm trees you can hardly climb up them and they can break.
