a month to go until christmas black friday kicks of the holiday shopping season while people in the united states flooded stores customers in germany are still not completely come rinsed about what to make of it. also on the program a huge science fiction. theme park is going up in an impoverished area of china but it isn't even real we investigate the borderless world between reality and technology and grapes of the comeback crop and georgia we explore plain why business is thriving the country in the caucasus region. this is a business i'm crystal kober well come with only a couple of weeks to go until christmas it is crunch time for retailers in the united states the friday after thanksgiving on black friday as it's known officially kicked off the shopping spree the philadelphia police coined the phrase black friday back in the nine hundred sixty s.

when friday after thanksgiving sales created traffic jams and drew so many unruly shoppers that it darkened their workday and much of the hype has prevailed in new york city macy's started its black friday discounts early as if lot of shoppers rushed into the department store on thursday night many retailers have started their holiday season through on thursday to boost customer traffic and sales retailers in germany you may be interested to know have created their own version of black friday but it is a hard sell many customers believe it's just another trick to make a normal sale and often it is there is more that may not be tense out on the german high streets but there's definitely a black friday in the retailers even have black week at the tightening seven days at rock bottom prices opinion on the street is mixed. as for them i like discounts on electronics i'm happy to join. there's no point.

people who buy things whether they're cheaper now or not it has. taken this on from america and its us and. the internet is also a wash with special offers experts predict additional sales of one point one billion euros on friday in germany alone. as we get off an almost us that's an average of one hundred seventy per person on friday and on cyber monday another one hundred twenty. that's a big incentive for retailers especially in electronics a pretty twenty eight hundred. foot shop with caution and say consumer protection groups not every discount is a bargain. dramatic price cuts of forty fifty or even eighty percent might be too good to be true. keep a cool head do some research use price comparison websites to check if it's really

a good offer and whether or not to go for it. in a sample test only half the products were genuine bargains a quarter of them were listed at market value and for the rest shoppers paid more than they would have elsewhere. china's trade with north korea plunged last month with imports falling to their lowest level in years underscoring beijing stands to enforce u.n. resolutions aimed at reigning in pyongyang missile and nuclear programs after two intercontinental intercontinental ballistic missile tests and why the united nations imposed sanctions on north korea. how do you knock out an opponent north korean soldiers show their guest from china how to do it over the weekend but the beijing delegation knows who really controls the ring or in this case the economy even a visit to a shoe factory in pyongyang can't hide the fact that china is importing less from north korea than it has in years. as late as this summer trade between the two

nations had reached a new high four hundred twenty six million u.s. dollars according to chinese customs that was despite u.n. sanctions it began falling noticeably in september after the first missile tests by october trade was in a dive. that means no more trucks to be seen carrying coal iron ore or fish across the friendship bridge separating the two countries u.n. sanctions have forbidden the products for months it was only after u.s. president donald trump openly threatened to boycott chinese firms for the country's business with north korea the trade began its dive now there are only north korean airlines to see at the airport air china has stopped their flights north korea disputes that sanctions are working it also hopes that the more than one hundred thousand tourists who visit the country each year can help fill coffers. the scandal involving fake the data product data in japan is casting a wider and wider net after new song and coby steal mitsubishi materials has now admitted it lied to customers the company's stock nosedived on the. rubber

seals and gaskets found in planes but also nuclear power plants the safety of ports like these is no one question mitsubishi material says subsidiaries falsified data about product characteristics a string of similar violations has already shaken several other japanese industrial giants regulators are angry. that it does misconduct or betrayals of trust in japanese manufacturing the ministry urges the entire manufacturing industry to prevent such materials. but the reasons for such betrayals of trust or anger deep in the heads of kobe steel the first company to admit fault were contrite about the quality control issues for years the steel makers submitted fake data on the quality of their products and what investigators now think was an attempt to increase profits carmakers nissan and subaru soon followed in kobe's tracks safety checks on many cars hadn't been carried out properly hundreds of thousands of

vehicles had to be recalled what makes mitsubishi materials that mission even more serious is that their products are also used in military equipment japan's defense minister sought to calm fears. we believe there is no need to suspend our usage of the related equipment as we haven't received any reports on any trouble. that wasn't enough to comfort stockholders on friday in tokyo shares in mitsubishi materials took a nosedive. theme parks can be a lot of fun not only for people screaming at the top of the long rides but also for communities profiting from the money visitors spent that's exactly what authorities in going yang are banking on just outside the capital of one of china's poorest regions the country's first all. day theme parks is set to open this is china's first virtual reality theme park and it's not just another example

of a massive infrastructure investment in the country many hoping that this virtual reality themed park will bring more visitors i believe that after the park opens it will change tourism and wheezing province and china's southwest this is an inoperative attraction because it's just different it will definitely have a strong pull and can bring more tourists to. the park which cost one point five billion dollars to build lies on the outskirts of wee on the capital of which is one of china's poorest provinces but while the investment is expected to benefit the region not everyone is convinced the theme park will improve the lives of locals. there are some projects that are polluting the environment. and we farmers hope that we can get rid of this pollution. it's bad for the countryside our kids and our society. because our

hundreds of millions have been invested in this infrastructure what remains to be seen is whether locals will be able to benefit. your leaders are in brussels today to discuss cooperation with soviet neighborhood as part of the eastern partnership program of the six countries that take part three ukraine moldova and georgia have already received a free trade to deal with the bloc our correspondent nick connelly has been to georgia to see what impact those changes are already having it's here at the foot of the caucasus mountains just a stone's throw from georgia's border with russia that scientists believe the wind was first produced some eight thousand years ago today one is the country's third biggest export. german unsure when winds now fills about one and a half million bottles

a year ninety percent of it for export western europe used to be the firm's biggest market but that's not changing fast. this. example goes up you know if all of the warnings for why china. this goes to kazakhstan and from kazakhstan border goes to china. adopting e.u. standards has open doors and not just in europe other countries are taking notice of georgian wine but what does the country's free trade deal with the e.u. meant in practical terms foot day to day business our borders and all and. it's march better for to make business for european countries same standout same. documentation and same papers. the fall of the soviet union so living standards in georgia nosedive in recent years tensions with russia traditionally georgia's biggest market and political
