to this talk of a pretty much stands at an all time high but if that's because of the takes announcement is doubtful over all the money that who is paying now they would head to to pay this money anyhow but probably further down the line and not right now and one of the big questions certainly remain what precisely apple will do with the money will they buy a big share will they increase the dividend will they pay down debt or will they really create tens of thousands of jobs this is still a big question mark at this point and we still do not know about the second quarter of allison but at least we do know that its search has been reduced or narrowed to twenty mil cations tell us more about that. down to twenty or maybe to nineteen because one of those twenty cities is toronto so that would be a non-u.s.

location and it is kind of unlikely that it will go was this place altogether it is pretty a double edged sword because on one side amazon is promising direct forty thousand jobs and the boost to the local economy whichever place they choose but on the other side amazon is also asking for huge tax incentives for example new york and new jersey is offering seven billion dollars tax breaks or whatever community will get their heads headquarter will also play pay dearly to convince amazon to move the second god to build the second headquarter over there and we will see if some of those communities can really afford having and isn't around. core to thank you so much for your reporting from new york. german

well that's exactly what china ones they don't want anymore that the image of made in china is still you know being compared with cheap products but china has a problem there pretty much true economies true production inside of the company and one that is really a growing very fast they are producing very good products they want to be number one when it comes for example to produce chips for cell phones or computers on the other hand there is still a booming business when it comes to those duplications that china has been accused for for many years and that then is again hurting and harming the image of made in china again. my colleague down there is a friend for stock exchange now turning to a different story in uganda our nonprofit organization is helping previously unemployed women to earn a living by providing basic health care products the women deliver the products
