to attract well off patients from foreign countries. it's part of iran's economic renewal following the lifting of international sanctions in two thousand and sixteen iranian businesses and erstwhile western partners reached out to each other hungry to pursue investment and trade opportunities but the economy is still struggling unemployment and corruption are rife inflation is running at near ten percent and the current unrest could scare off potential investors. now for more let's bring in thomas gave he's a german entrepreneur who's medical equipment company has built a joint venture with a kind of company we just saw in that report has been doing business in around for years thomas welcome to the program that many of the protesters say they don't feel any economic improvement what's the major problem hampering the development they had hoped for. hello good morning the major problems that we will face is like you said it's corrupt say it's a lot of also

a bird and slow procedure has now the sanctions against iran were lifted two and a half years ago how realistic was it to expect conditions to improve in such a relatively short period of time. i guess to expectations on little bit too high in the population in iran is a relatively young so the people who want to charge in and so i guess it takes some time and it takes in west and the trends for know how from the from the west to to iran to this region that we will have bigger progress in the future so is that in your point of view what the iranian economy needs at this point more smart brains from outside. yes absolutely and what's also necessary is did we will find bigger german banks for the transactions right now will face

the problem that we cannot make business because we just have smaller regional banks who accept transactions from iran because the bigger german banks in figure two to to get sued if they got us business so does is also a reason why business is not so not so easy if you cannot make financial transactions now how important our business ties with germany and europe for iran it's very important made in germany has a very good reputation and especially we as germans i'm always treated very valid very polite and so we we should not lose the rest becht if we have to contract compliance and stop now discussions about the atomic deal and stuff like maybe from the u.s. side now you are somebody that has been doing business with iran for years what do

you make of these weeklong protests we've been seeing. i guess the protests because after the price ever was rising for some nutritions and i'm pretty sure if we will have a stable economy and economy there then the protests will be we will be gone real soon and thomas finally do you think those protests will change anything in the long run. i don't think so. it's a little bit complicated to go deeper inside the ring. but i'm pretty sure that their rings are smart enough to know what's what's best for them in the future thomas gave our head of project coordination a blue ocean a german company with close business ties to iran thank you so much for your analysis oil prices it is three year high on thursday the cost of

one barrel of brant crude is now above sixty seven dollars the rise comes after oil prices have hit historic lows in recent years leading all exporting nations have been trying to address the issue with production curves recently stabilizing the price somewhat. for some more analysis let's bring in yellen stanzel he's chief market analyst at c.m.c. markets you often welcome to the program tell us what's the driving the price here is it just the unrest in iran. oh no it's not not only the unrest in iran that's one factor that the market is paying attention to if we go back two years ago there was a massive oversupply in the market of oil and now we have a more balanced supply and demand and that is the reason why it markets pay attention to the of rain in solution because the did the protests there are not

very probable to really limit the iranian oil production the chance for that is very low but markets pay attention to that because the chance that there will be scarcity coming out of those news is much more probable than two years ago i think the more more powerful factor behind the oil price increases is the weak dollar still it's take a look at iran here and once again for a second one of the big producers of oil in the world obviously the country has been trying to move foreign energy companies to invest in iran until now only french and the giant total has heeded the call why isn't there more investment. i think that the market certainty about the political developments in iran still isn't it's still not that high and if you want to invest in oil projects it's not just an investment that pays off like six months later but it's projects to develop

those oil fields for years to come and so you need a long time long term safety and long term perspective that gives us an investor a safe environment and i think that most companies right now are not really not really sure that this is a given fact there and you don't tell us with oil prices on the rise as fracking in the united states lucrative again. yeah it's back to sixty two if you look at west texas intermediate the u.s. oil. w.t. i is back at sixty two and that is somehow the threshold for the fracking industry does the big frack luck with how it is called so it's a fracking backlog that's already trailed but not activated feels that could come into production in a few weeks and that could then by itself. like dampen the oil ready that we've

seen in the past weeks all prices on the rise young stanzel chief market analyst at c.m.c. markets thank you for your insight the international labor organization says there have been improvements in recent years regarding child labor nevertheless more than one hundred fifty million children around the world are still forced to work often instead of going to school you know so going to work means food on their plate and the roof over their head at least in the short term. these children are making t. shirts that will be sold across the world and some by gang given fourteen the legal age for employment in bangladesh muhammad is one of them is just thirteen is working in this factory because he has no other choice. all the follow on the all in the family has money problems we all along to market traders that's why i have to work if i earn a lot of money i may go back to school but those are going to know of muhammad

works at least ten hours a day and he only gets one day off a week. child labor is a major problem in bangladesh where one in ten children between the ages of five and fourteen work. mohammad's honoris work help support his family has paid amiga monthly wage of forty euros says most i'm sorry for my son is not getting educated so he has no future that makes me sad but i see no way out of the sex that much like his mother was mohammed has been forced to choose between an education and food. i wish the boy all the best that's a show thanks for watching. because
