prevent them infecting their livestock over the last week african swine fever spread into the european union pharmaceutical companies have been trying to develop a vaccine so far without success the latest outbreak appears to have begun in russia and authorities in neighboring belarus banned some imports of russian pork now meanwhile the disease is making its way into the heart of europe it already has crossed into the baltic states and poland where in total thousands of cases have been reported and this is why the european commission is the backing a cole of wild boars it's also warning people to be careful with food waste that could contain the highly contagious disease it was first recorded in africa a century ago and since then it's spread around the world and while it doesn't affect humans it's almost always deadly to paix and that is worrying news for the pig farm sector and some of its representatives are in berlin this week where the

international green week is kicking off my colleague stephen be asleep is at the fair for us and he's joining us now stephen if you can hear me here you are what do people there say about the strengths of the virus reaching germany. monika i think what you're going to see if you take a look around is that it's not very visible on the outside of the green week here but behind the scenes there are a lot of farmers who do have concerns i actually spoke with a small regional farmer here in bronze of bird that's the state around berlin and he said that is definitely in the back of his mind or maybe even coming to the forefront of his mind that he's a smaller operation he says the bigger concern is really going to be with the larger operations to have more animals kept over larger distances he can be somewhat more careful or he can be a little bit less concerned but at same time he said that there were concerns he was even concerned that the republish farmer organizations here at the green wheat and the. which could be spread through humans could actually be spread through them

as well that's a little bit of a stretch there are polish farmers here there are some polish stands though so you see the level of concern that is here right and of course i mean pig farming is big business and it is therefore a big political issue as well i believe you just talked to the e.u. commissioner for what did he have to say. right that's phil hogan out of ireland his big message was support he said that we're doing everything we can to sport the german officials german politicians the agriculture minister here in germany met with hogan and they met with state's agriculture ministers across the states of germany yesterday to talk about a number of issues and one of them was swine fever and so what you saw is what you see with what about the whole been trying to do is this message that we are here we're going to help you as much as we can but this is also going to be a national issue. that if you were to put a price tag on the possible damage of well let's call it an epidemic what are we

talking about. it's you know the exports here in germany are looking at two to three billion two to three billion euro i believe a year is what the market is for port going out of germany the e.u. is the largest port exporter in the world and germany is traditionally the largest producer of pork in the u.c. you can see there just how important is obviously in german culture as well in german kitchens port is the main ingredient so it's a it's a big deal both for the inner market and for the export market exports are growing in places like china for example in terms of they're importing german pork so obviously farmers see those markets they want to hold those markets they want to expand those markets and this is a big threat to that potentially all right stephen business there thank you so much for reporting from the green week in berlin for us. and of course bowl galleria is the patna country of this year's green weekend but linnet also

holds the e.u. presidency for the next six months and bulgaria wants to prove how much progress has been made and modernizing its agricultural sector largely thanks to e.u. subsidies like this farm in our next report. there are one hundred fifty dairy cows on this farm high in bulgaria as roger p mountains it's a family business run by. and his brother over the last few years the two have completely modernized the farm one example is the new cow shed all of it has been funded by e.u. subsidies there are around fifty thousand euros each year and not yours the subsidies from the e.u. help us a lot or we apply for project funding like for the new shed things wouldn't be going nearly so well without the e.u. money treaty. we couldn't raise that ambitious. beauty.

the cows provide around four thousand liters of milk each year just fall off of the turbot cows on german farms produce. them milked twice a day by the six laborers who work in the shed. the farm is the region's biggest employer. its owners have also invested in some water buffalo their milk can be used to make the rela and it fetches twice as much as cow's milk . but it's not quite as simple as a last. we'd like to do more with the buffalo but we can't find anyone willing to work with them that tricky animals they don't allow themselves to be milked as easily as cows. the brothers farm is the local dairies most important supplier of milk hundreds of small holders used to bring their milk here but now

there are just seven large farms the cherry specializes in goal may cheeses sama with fruits of the forest others a mature didn't want to six weeks. we plan to expand. a range of products in the future and if possible start selling them on the european market is up two or more you know stronger in global peacekeepers are. until then the cheese will continue to be sold in popular tourist spots and cities around garia. here one kilo costs around nine year olds and in a country where the average monthly wage is just five hundred euros that's anything but cheap. a trade war maybe brewing between china and the u.s. some chinese steel and polyester products will now face punitive terrorists as high as one hundred and seventy four percent when imported to the united states washington says chinese government subsidies give these products an unfair edge

making it hard for american producers to compete only a small range of chinese products are affected but experts say the trade dispute between the u.s. and china could also affect other countries. that should give stock markets around the world yet more to ponder on over to our man at the frankfurt stock exchange dannie a corp daniel it's been an interesting week for investors from bitcoin slumps to the airbus a three eighty revival what were the biggest market movers. monica you really mentioned the highlights already cryptocurrency is where cory the number one topic here at the stock market with the bitcoin dropping below the mark of ten thousand dollars many investors are saying that this was kind of like the first crash that we have really seen in the crypto currency market this is really have been giving investors quite some headache and now when you look at the market

today it seems that it has recovered at least a little bit yes the a three eighty the problem child of ours was announcing in the past that if there would be no new deal regarding the airbus a three eighty they would be shutting down the airbus a three eighty production yesterday breaking news from emirates the carrier all already holding more than one hundred planes of the a three eighty v. and nouns they would be buying thirty six more even with the option of buying another sixteen it seems that this has rescued and safe the program for at least ten years now and g.d.p. numbers also from china three times higher than we are seeing them in germany some investors have doubts how accurate those numbers are but in general good business in many cases in china also means good business for german companies as well the weak euro at the root ship in the exacts rather slow up and downs the euro has been giving investors quite some had a headache and next week all the eyes will be on davos and you will have full

coverage from there as well all right don't you think it's too much of a summing up of the market action in frankfurt. in the capital of bangladesh the most popular means of transportation is the rick show in fact the city reportedly has the highest number of them in the world but the government has been clamping down on them. this is the easiest way to get around the bangladeshi capital dhaka. ricksha those are readily available everywhere and we feel they are useful because they can move around our roles. he said to do what he did know and they are less of an environmental burden than cars for several hundred thousand locals the vehicles represent more than just a means of transportation they are a source of income. i came from a village he fell i've been working in this area for six or seven years i make about nine dollars that's what my family lives on. what i would have on my home.

but his days in the job could be numbered critics say rickshaws are slowing down traffic in dhaka so the police are cracking down on them. illegally plying through the v.i.p. rolls and creating traffic jams now will send these to be trashed less than ten percent are legally registered now hundreds of thousands of drivers face the prospect of losing their livelihood. and that's a business update hearing for now i want to thanks for keeping me company.
