sure and syringe i mean to really demonstrates that they can really make their mark in a further continuation of the grand coalition the c.d.u. has completely ruled that out by now and then of course there are migrants where this is the democrats really don't want to see it for the tyson ing of regulations so both posses miles apart but as they say at least willing to talk about the differences. thank you w.'s political correspondent mckayla kafka you're watching news still to come it could be another record breaking year for the new york stock exchange with more i.p.o.'s than ever before among them the world's most valuable company venture so we'll be here with just a moment with that and much much more don't go away.

a stock exchange. set to top the league poses a major challenge while frankfurt expects a record twenty we'll let you know who's doing what where and how much they expect . going electric a chinese startup releases its vision for future mobility and las vegas executives the most intelligent and electric car and going dry towns worst drought in decades coping with conditions is one thing but it's also a mass job cuts. and let's do business buckle up for a flurry of action this year lots of companies plan to go public in two thousand and eighteen most of it many a choosing hong kong. analysts say the market for initial public offerings could total two hundred ninety billion dollars everyone wants

a piece of the pie. and let's go over to singapore to get more on this we didn't get our report unfortunately but i'm sure on rare thing you're standing by for us and then you'll call in frankfurt will be able to bring us up to date and dreyer first of all the main driver seems to be asia why is that. well two things first of all ben china is going to be lifting a ban on major owners selling their shares of state owned companies so we'll probably see a slew of that happening over the year ago second of all home combs new appeal and its latest appeal is that it is allowing dual class shares which the chinese tech firms are seeking. daniel over to you can you tell me why

frankfurt is missing out on so much of the action i mean it is going to be a record year isn't it despite did missing out on some of these big tech companies . well actually have been from the frankfurt perspective i can tell you that investors here actually very satisfied how two thousand and eighteen most likely is going to be where expecting a record year here at the stock market with since two thousand and seven the highest amount of companies really launching thirteen to eighteen are expected to have their i.p.o. here and frank for this year health in near the company this is going to be the ip all off the year a company worth more than forty billion euros and the company was deciding back then between frankfurt and wall street and of the and decided for frankfurt because of the very good infrastructure that we're having here and also similar companies listed here and the blue chip index stocks the i.p.o.

of the year for germany at least andrea what's it say about the changing economic and political landscape when companies choose to raise funds in hong kong over new york. well with the recent big blow to ali baba we saw that happen last week the message is clear the u.s. does not want china to have a piece or some of that american pie that being said though hong kong is gearing up to regain its position as a beacon of i.p.o. markets. lost that shining star last year being fourth in the world well the coming new regulations is going to imply as well as the thirty for thirty five percent gain that no nearly nor investor took notice of on the one thing index now the markets are really fired up at the moment daniel is this a general trend away from things like commodities and bonds and are investors really piling into equities because they believe it can go even further yeah

this is this really seems to be the case right now it seems to be that i.p.o.'s for a company is right now the best way that's what many investors are also telling me to generate fresh capital money just in the case of health in years at a company that is that is expected to again between seven and eight billion euros with this i p o and yet because of that many companies are moving to the stock markets should we be worried about those stock markets overheating well there's always this question if we might see an overheating i don't think this is going to be the case in two thousand and eighteen some of the investors have said that there is going to be a core rexin at some time but also the big banks here in germany such as call mats bank and daughter bank are also predicting this is going to be another record year here at the stock market many investors see the roots of index that by the end of

the year at a level of about fourteen thousand points then you go first in frankfurt and hang in singapore thank you to both of you. and of course these days there are the initial public offerings as a way for companies to raise funds they're also initial cost and offerings or i ceo's a new trend especially among startups go to our website e.w. dot com slash business and read all about the opportunities and it folds the tech sector is converging on las vegas for the consumer electronics show the order giants are also rolling up cars at turning into autonomous entertainment units on wheels and if they're electric even better at least that's the road one startup from china is taking it's opening night for the challenger and electric as u.v. from china is still just the prototype seen light for the first time at the c.e.'s it's built by a new car maker called biden there are even former b.m.w.

employees in management positions like c.e.o. cost in bright felt it will be the most intelligent and intuitive electric car designed for the age of autonomy is driving and shop mobility. it was our first by ten and i promise you more to come. revolutionize the one hundred year old legacy of dr centric mobility and start a new era of smart mobility. the electro s.u.v. we'll have a battery range of at least four hundred kilometers and a sticker price of around forty five thousand dollars to define the features will be the touchscreen in the compact and the speeches system from amazon in twenty nineteen byte months to sell its first vehicle in china and then move to the us and europe in twenty twenty but getting there may not be easy these companies are finding that even though in theory designing electric car is relatively simple getting them to production in the mass market is actually

a really really difficult thing so i think that this will definitely be a little bit of a struggle going to market i think twenty twenty may actually be optimistic to get all this technology at that price but again if they can do it it could definitely make a big impact on the market. but quite a few chinese carmakers have had bad luck producing electric cars some even presented vehicles here that never went into production but among biden's backers are two chinese investors with lots of capital the internet giant tencent as well as foxconn a manufacturer of apple products. in the south african city of cape town water levels in local reservoir dangerously low the area is struggling with the worst drought in living memory the city is down posed what it calls level six restrictions that means no irrigation of god's will fields no refilling of swimming pools washing of cars is also prohibited but the whole region which is home to around four million people could still run dry. the city of cape town has the
