a single day. and empowering women as school in india helps women from all over the world to keep electricity flowing in their villages we'll show you how. that and more right here on d w business. in berlin. when the news of a preliminary pretty briggs's divorce agreement between britain and the e.u. reached the markets investors didn't exactly crack open the champagne on the trading floor markets notoriously unsentimental did show a positive reaction. really from the markets as it emerged an agreement had been reached the footsie one hundred rose as did the value of the pound but traders in london are well aware that the next phase of breakfast negotiations may prove yet more difficult. by i think the next few months we're going to see far more analysis of what the effects of the u.k. being outside of europe are going to be for instance one example will be just in

time manufacturing how is that going to have to change with custom course set up across the with the number of border posts required documentation that's going to change the way that manufacturing duty operates in germany to markets responded well to the news some analysts believe britain is now unlikely to give up access to the single market i have trouble exit was the rosier be a hybrid which is very positive thing because a trade between the u.s. and the rest of the e.u. would be interrupted but one thing must be clear this is just a very small success brecht that continues to be terrible for both sides the e.u. and the british people if markets already show gratitude for the smallest of agreements so b.s.e. that there are still a lot of problems surrounding breakfast sized or even a feeler problem it will invent. the next round of track the talks will focus on trade an issue the markets will be watching very closely indeed. so there's
6:19 pm
only this small issue of a trade deal left to sort out that should be easy right let's ask clemens fusees the director of the if for instance you wouldn't joins us now from munich ok has the divorce deal is done the next step a trade agreement how hard can it be. it's going to be difficult but the good news is that there is an interest in continuing trade in not disrupting. value creation chains. production chains established by companies there is an interest on both sides sides in maintaining this trade so one can hope that some agreement will be possible of course the devil is in the detail when it comes to the different sectors there will be ideas coming in from all sides that will be interests one to maybe reduce trade in southern areas to get rid of competition but
6:20 pm
generally i think there is a mutual interest in maintaining the trade that's the good news but time is also of the essence how likely is it that a good deal for both parties will be agreed and just what is it twelve months. well negotiating a complete create trade agreement within twelve months is i would say well virtually impossible that's why we need a transition phase it looks like we're going to we're going to get one i guess ideally there should be agreement on a number of principles and agreement on a transition phase where the old rules more or less will continue to apply and then a more detailed free trade agreement can be negotiated over a longer time with a partial deal be thinkable. well doing a possible deal in trade is difficult because if it is partial in the sense that only certain sectors are covered there will be disruptions in the other sectors so
6:21 pm
i would say it is more important to focus on the transition phase now we need arrangements that will work for two years or maybe more i would think it could be a bit more so that once this is established companies know that they are not nearing they're not approaching a cliff they can continue to do their trade. we then need a long term solution so i would now focus on this transition phase interesting times still ahead of us was from the e four institute thank you very much for this analysis my. german l. i love tons us plans to take over routes operated by failed rival aberlour then have hit some turbulence the e.u. commission says it has quote deep competition concerns about the bed competition commission amalgamate of a starter said he believed there was a risk of loved ones on monopolizing certain routes she wants customers and rival

airlines in the european aviation market to have their say the times i hope to pay two hundred ten million euros for dozens of air balloons ak raft as well as takeoff and landing slots and it's also been subsidiary making. here's our financial correspondent. many passengers who often take a flight have noticed that in recent weeks the prices on many routes that lufthansa took over from berlin after the insolvency have surged very much now the european union's commissioner margaret of a star is concerned that fans are might already be monopolizing the domestic market here in germany the concessions that will stand suggested to the antitrust authorities were probably not enough in the next two weeks the antitrust watchdog will interrogate lufthansa's competitors in order to find out what has to be done to create fair competition investors believe that easy jet will profit from this

its share prize was a big gamer here in frankfurt's trading this friday. carbo's that the bitcoin roller coaster ride goes on the virtual currencies more than forty percent in two days with an imminent launch of the first bitcoin futures contract further fueling investor interest bass on friday the virtual currency lost almost a fifth of its value in just ten hours now there is concern that the market may be heading for a price collapse. this sunday its kickoff for bitcoin future trades potentially propelling the cryptocurrency from the fringes to the forefront of finance traders are busy coming up with a game plans the futures market allows them to speculate on the cryptic currencies priced at a later date something which may stabilize the cryptocurrency but also push the price down from the dizzying heights of where it has been i think really argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come
6:24 pm
online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if you're investing there for the next two years or three years then it the difference between the price now and the price in a week's time may be irrelevant. some say that bitcoin might not even be around in the next two to three years though is notoriously volatile with warnings that it may self-destruct and it's not backed all the same its impact is already thought to be lasting whatever you might think about crypto currency is the reality is that the technology behind it which is the block chain is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had you know early two thousand. while everybody was getting rates just having you know a dot com on the web side but even after the bubble burst the internet is still there we have facebook google so the technology behind it is here to stay whether becoming a futures might prove the downfall or making of the digital darling is something

really i need a future can tell in many developing economies women often remain the single largest untapped economic resource college in india is now set out to change that training women to take control of their lives and the wellbeing of their communities. the sun is a virtually infinite source of energy. these women have come halfway around the world to register on to learn how best to harness that power classes at the so-called barefoot college of just beginning while those who study here can actually afford shoes they can't afford much else and definitely not a house with electricity supply that's why the courses here are about solar energy systems in this particular class most of the students come from africa during a six month course the women learn how they can use solar energy to improve their lives in their villages. being their minister and family in my village there are
6:26 pm
only a couple of houses with electricity. there's no room but when i'm finished here my neighbors and i will finally be able to use electricity as well that a proper look on. this man started the college nearly forty years ago. he was so good for. me long in the beginning we also taught men but often they didn't pass their knowledge and skills on to others or they took up new jobs and moved away from their villages women are more loyal and they have fewer opportunities and would charge women about gong addict out about what i mean what are. the colleges trained over ten thousand women now who have returned to their villages you won't find a connection to an electricity grid out here but you will find manna she graduated from barefoot college a year ago and is currently on her way to meet a customer who owns a solar power unit. the
6:27 pm
lights come and go there seems to be some sort of problem i don't know what it could be that. money gets to work she inspects the unit and after a few minutes she's figured out is the power storage unit with just a few twists of her screwdriver the lights are back on. how do you put it on even then i know a village there are about forty five houses and in twenty three of them i've installed solar electricity systems but only if there are occasionally problems with the power storage units that's why i'm here. with me with a bad name and. at the end of the day off to the sun has gone down this village should still have electricity.
